law and loyalty t. government. The
organization always intensely patriotic
grew rapidly, from membership of
52 in 1864 the order has grown to
a membership of nearly million who
are in good and regular standing in
the United States and Canada.
On January 1st, 1915 there were in
the Domain of Ohio 635 lodges with
total membership of 86,864. These
lodges during the year 1914 expended
S192,570.82 for relief and funeral ex-
penses! The Grand Lodge of Ohio
during that year. expended $42,478.9 .92
for the education of orphans and
maintained a widows and orphans
fund of $571 ,497.97.
In nearly every town and village
in these United States there will
be found men who are leaders of
the thought and in the business of
their community; men who repre-
sent the better interests of, fellow
ship and the highest standard of
manhood; they are Knights of Py-
thias who are true and loyal to the
teachings of their order. 1t is
small wonder that this organization
is growing by leaps and bounds for
the reason that thoughtful men re-
alize the certain benefits of affili-
ating with an organization whose pre-
dominating virtues comprise the best
elements of friendship and whose
high aim is to raise the standard of
character in the citizenship of the
land.

THE EMPIRE FALLS
Last of A Series of Articles on
the Career of Napoleon Written
Especially for The Tribune by
Earl nj. WOad.

The Gar alexander of Russia did
not pause in his pursuit of Napoleon
who was on the retreat from Moscow,
but galloped into Germany to deal the
French Emperor another blow. The
people of Germany hailed Alexander's
coming as the arrival of the liberia
tor of the people from the yoke of
Napoleon. and although the Emperor
appealed to the German princes to
crush these sentiments, they could
not stem the tide of popular feeling.
Half dozen of the Princes and Grand
Dukes deserted the Confederation of
the Rhine and declared themselves
allies of the Czar, and they were inn
mediately followed by Prussia, the
first big state to throw off the yoke
of France. Napoleon had raised a
new army from the megar male pop
ulation of his countries, and appeal
ed to his father-in-law, the Emperor
Francis of Austria to come to his
aid against the Prussians and the
Russians. But Austria very wisely
proclaimed her neutrality which
should Napoleon that family ties
are nothing when affairs of state are
at stake.
The French met the Russians and
the Prussians at several point in Ger
many and sent them reeling back to-
ward Austria. But the Cars de-
feat was fortunate for the Allies as
it drove them into the arms of Aus
tria who forsook her neutrality and
joined the coalition against Napoleon.
Every day, new German states were
forsakng France and going over to
the cause of the Allies, Prince Sch
warzenburg with a mighty Austrian
army Joined the Allies in Germany,
while other Austrian armies set about
to drive the French out of Italy.
At Leipsic, the battle of the ma
tions was fought. and the Russians,
Prussians and Austrians drove Ma
poleon across the Rhine in defeat.
In desperation the Emperor called
for recruits to save Paris, but there
were no more to come. He sought
to divert the course of the avenging
Allies by leading them away, but
the ruse failed, and Paris with the
Empress Marie Louise and her son
the King of Rome fell into the hands
of the Allied monarchs.
Napoleon gave himself up and sign
ed his abdication to the throne Of
France. He was to be made Emper.
or of Elba. small island near Italy
but he was to be separated from his
wife and son. Marie Louise was to
become Duchess of Parma, and the
] King of Rome was to enter the Aus
trian army under the name of the
Duke of Reichstadt. The Bourbon
