WILL KUROPATKIN ADD
ANOTHER TO GREAT
RETREATS IN
HISTORY.

Should Kuropatkin be forced out
Of Mukden and be compelled to fall
back on Hardin. his retreat may be
one that will rival the most famous
retreats In history.
Whether Kuropatkin proves to be
another Eutusoff and Mukden a
second Borodino. remains to be seen.
Many military critics claim that Ku-
ropatkin will follow previous Rus
sian strategy and lure the Japanese
far into Manchuria and far from a
sea base, where he can fall on them
with new and larger army and make
Hardin a second Moscow.
Napoleon was the worlds master at
war, yet he lost more men in his fatal
retreat from Moscow than he did on
the field of Waterloo. With vast
army of over 100000 men he crossed
the Niemen In June and later fought
at Borodino. where his losses were
heavy. then came the march to Mos
COW, the Russians retreating before
him and destroying everything as they
marched. In the cold of the northern
winter he turned his back on the
burning city into which the eagles
had been born In triumph, and began
the most disastrous retreat in his
tory Famine. cold and the Russians
on their TANKS and rear, cut down his
soldiers as they plodded, finally bare
footed, through the snow and the
N LODI
those 500 miles OF dreary waste
Nearly century before Napoleon
invaded Russia, Charles XII of Swe-
den, with $4,000 men at his back,
marched over much the same route
and shared much the same ill-fortune
After storming the Russian lines at
Golovtchin, he plunged into the Va
bis In pursuit of the retreating Rus
slams. and lost many OF his men and
guns In his haste. But he kept his
face towards Moscow and marched
to Smolensk at last, but there changed
his plans and marched for the Tx
raine, with Car Peter Turing him on.
Then the Russians confronted him
with 10000 troops, at PuItava-
where Charles was wounded and
charged at the head of his troops
borne In a litter--and was defeated,
being forced to retreat with his men
into Turkish territory, In anything
but dignified manner.
Ono Of the most mastery retreats
In history was made by Sir John
Moore In Spain. In 1s0S-9. He
marched his force between Astorga
and Corunna In month and beat
back Soults' army at the edge of the
sea before his troops sailed away for
home, leaving the body of their dead
commander behind them. to be buried
without the walls. on the field where
he fell.
Bazaine, at Metz, forced much the
same conditions as Kuropatkin, but
he failed to retreat beyond the city.
and the Prussians captured his en-
tire army. =.
The most fatal retreat In all his
tory was that of the English army
under Lord Elphinstone from Cabul
In Afghanistan. and 1t and It's pre-,

bullet In the neck and shoulder dur
ing the fierce engagement of the
Washington regiment at Santa Ana

and conspicuous bravery in that en-
gagement Lieutenant Erwin was
recommended for brevet commits

King. Lieutenant Erwin lay in a
hospital for two months and was
finally discharged on account of dis
ability. He received the nomination
for county clerk in 1900 and was
elected. This was repeated two years
later. His efficient administration of
the Office OF clerk, his well known
ability as a business man and his
integrity resulted in his nomination
for the important Office Of county
treasurer at the recent county con-

INVENTION OF GUNS

Guns were invented by Swartz, q
German, about 1873, and brought into
use by the Venetans in 1882. Cannon
were invented earlier and at Amberg
may still be seen a piece Of ordnance
inscribed 1903.
Cannon were first used at the battle
Of Greasy in 1916. In England they
were first used at the siege of Berwick
in l4O5. 1t was not until 1874, how.
ever, that they were cast in England.
They. were employed on shipboard
by the Venetians in 1889 and were used
among the Turks about the same time.

that DR.. Fulton was nominated as a

that he was a commission man, and
absolutely refused to publish the
fact that DR.. Fulton was also an ar

at all: there was no division on that

there were purely local, and local
