 The battle of the nations began on the sixteenth of October 1913. when
 the main army of the allied troops of Prussia, Russia and Austria, about
 160, 900 strong, under the command of Prince Swartzehborg, attacked the
 army of Napoleon, stationed in and
 around Leipstg. From o'clock until
 noon a number of villages south of
 the city, occupied by the French. were
 furiously but yainly assaulted. Ma
 poleon then assumed the offensive, adopting his favorite measure of 9
 grand attack on the enemy's center,
 and a column of the young and old
 guards, preceded by a train of artil-
 lery. succeeded in piercing tho allied
 army. Schwartzenberg ordered up his reserves. and Napoleon doing the same, Ia general engagement ensued along the whole line of attack. Frequent charges of cavalry marked the action. and at
 one time Murat at the head of the
 currassiers of the old guard almost succeeded in capturing the King of
 Prussia and the Emperor Of Russia. On the verge of success, the Cossacks Of the imperial guard and the Aus
 trian reserves came up and saved the
 imperiled monarchs. At nightfall of the sixteenth both armies remained nearly in the position they had occu-
 pied in the morning, except that the French succeeded in opening up a line of retreat in case of disaster. During the engagement the allies were strengthened by the arrival of Bluch- CT with the, army of Silesia, 6O. 1000 -,q43.,
 merical superiority. On the seven- teenth both armies by tacit agree ment rested, and Napoleon, conscious of his weakness, made an ineffectual attempt to secure an arrnistice.
 When the battle was resumed on the eighteenth, the allies had been fur ther strengthened by the arrival of
 Russian reserves and Bornadette's
 army of the north. The field strength of the allies was S00, 1000 men, nearly
 double that of Napolepn's army. Op- posed by this overwhelming force of Prussians, Austrians, Russians and Swedes, Napoleon and el1is officers and they fought with heroic courage. All day the battle of the nations ragged furiously. Napoleon's Saxon and Wur- ten1berg troops went over to the allies
 during the day. When night closed down upon the scene of carnage Ma poleon realized that the city was no longer tenabIe. and ordered a retreat.
 Early on the nineteenth the allies en- tered Leipsic, and a terrible conflict
 ensued with the French rear guard. Shortly after noon the battle ceased.
 and Napoleon was soon in full re- treat toward the Rhine. sSoon Ger ! many as far as the Rhine was freed from the French, and Napoleon was preparing for a last stand against the allies.
