UNCLE RAYS CORNER +

y When the King and Queen of
France were put to death in Paris a
23-year-old Corsican was starting
out on q career which was to make
him ruler of France.
, His name was Napoleon Bonaparte
and he had been made a captain
| In the French Army. War had
broken out with Austria and Prus-
sia. and before long the French
also had to fight Great Britain.
At that time Great Britain had a
population of hardly 15,000,00 peo-
pie, while France was the home Of
30,O00,000. Today Great Britain
has more people than France.
Napoleon started to build his
power in two ways. In the first
place he joined with leaders of the
French Revolution and helped to
break up mobs which were a danger
to those In power.
Napoleon also proved himself
ekillful on the battlefield. He quickly
rose from captain to general.
Leading troops against Austria,
he won victory after victory. In
1897 Austria asked for peace and
Napoleon went back to Paris as a
popular hero.
y To strike a blow at Great Britain
he moved an army to Egypt, which
was partly under British control.
Although he was victor in fighting

The sale took place in 1903. The
land obtained by the United States
covered far greater area than the
present State of Louisiana. It was
about % times as large! The boun-
Diary marks were not entirely clear
but the land stretched from the
Mississippi River to the Rocky
Mountains. It included the present
States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Montana and parts Of several other
States. One State which it did not
include was Texas.
Napoleon soon added other vic
tories by warfare in Europe. He
made himself emperor of France
and soon began giving kingdoms
away to his brothers and generals
To one brother he gave Spain, to an
otaer Holland, to a third West
phalia.
Those things were done In years
Of Napoleon's glory" Later he
lost the battle of the nations, also

he was sent to the island of St.

P PARENTS AWAIT
 STRANDED GIRL
Mr., Mrs. August Grues- singer to Meet s. s. Rex
 Tomorrow

MT. and Mrs. August Gruessinger, of 416 Willow street, prepared today to meet the liner Rex when 1t docks at New York tomorrow, hopeful that on board will be their daugh- ter, Anna Marie, 13, who has been seeking to get back to the United States since last fall.
 The parents have no definite word that their daughter is on board, but were seeking to forget previous disappointments over her non-arrival and keep their spirits upy
 Red tape has kept the local youngster stranded abroad since November. She was scheduled to sail several times, but each time was unable to get aboard ship. After spending several months with rela- tives in Germany, she was to sail from Genoa, Italy, but Italian offi- cialS ruled she was too young to travel alone in wartime. She was lost for 8 time, until located back in Germany after Congressman J. Joseph Smith had called on the state department for aid. Plans were again made for her to sail and she was to arrive last month, but an- other official hitch developed.
 She was to have sailed on the Rex's last voyage, hence her par ents' confidence that she will be aboard this time.

Brave Women Of Finland Are Out In Front
 Lines Doing Their Share To Save Nation

After more than two hours. the Two Lotas telephoned their head quarters, and one said: I'm sorry, but there is now so much fire, and the smoke is so dense, that we are obliged to leave our post The two girls had stuck there all the while, and the leader had forgotten to or- der them into a shelter.
 Many Lottas have left their hus- bands and children, the husbands often being soldiers, while the chil- dren have been evacuated or sent to relatives. The organization has more than 86.0O0 trained members, and 22,OOO auxiliarieS. We are ex- pecting these numbers to increase greatly in the coming months.
 About half of the LottaS work in field kitchens near the front, while the remainder are in hospitals, evacuation homes, children's homes, offices, and so forth. Many also work in the central telephone of- fices and in supply depots."
 The organization, in peacetin1e a women's auxiliary of the Finnish national guard, is named for the wife of a Finnish soldier in the war of 1908 and 1909, between Russia and Sweden. When the husband Of the original Lotta Svaerd went to the front, she accompanied him to run a canteen furnishing tobacco, beer, chocolate, and similar com forts for the soldiers.
 She showed extreme bravery at the front; and vas proud of show ing the bullet-holes in her tent. La ter she became almost legendary. and was memorialized in verse by Finnish poets.

 we members of the Lotta Svaerd organization do not fear bombs, guns, shells, or fire" Miss Luukko- nen, here to organize Swedish re- lief for evacuated Finnish civilians, said.
 Although we don't fight with weapons, we must in many cases risk being killed exactly like sol- diers while on service. To date, 20 Lottas have been killed ard many others wounded in most cases from the bOmbardment of hospitals iE the war-front zones. These LottaS have done their duty, and we are ali very proud of them"
 Miss Luukkonen, tall corpulent woman of about 55, with an air of great personal kindliness, came here Sunday from Haparanda on the Swedish Finnish frontier, planning to remain indefinitely for organ izational purposes.
