He found the country through which his route lay devastated and abandoned as he advanced, with no enemy to make a stand against him. He had to leave large bodies of troops along his line of march and to detach forces to threaten St. Petersburg and other cities. At the battle of Borodino, Sept. 7, one of the bloodiest in history, the losses probably aggregated 40,000 on eaeh side. The loss to Napoleon, who could get no reinforcements, was fatal. But still he pressed on and entered himself Moscow, Sept. 14, to find robbed of the fruits of his victory by the terrible conflagration which broke out two days later. Yet Napoleon lingered in Moscow until Oct. 19. Then he marred southward to Kaluga, hoping to make his way through a rich and unexhausted country. But he was forced to follow tho path he had blazed on the way to Moscow. At first the weather was fine and only moderately severe. Then came rain, snow and cold. The winter set in earlier than usual. Swarms of Cossacks surrounded the Frenchmen, harassing them at every chance. The Invaders, worn out, were thrown into disorder. The remainder of the retreat of N' poleons army has no parallel In his tory for the various sufferings and hor rors undergone. In November, by the time he had reached the Berezina, his army had dwindled to 12,000 men. In the retreat from Moscow alone 90,000 had been lost. In the whole campaign some historians have estimated that 125.000 had been slain, 132,000 died of fatigue and hunger and cold and 193 000 were made prisoners, Napoleon was now reinforced by 18,000 men and he made his way across the Bere zina, thus escaping total ruin and cap tivity. it was a miserable throng which, on the evening of Dec. 6, like a crowd of beggars, tottered into Vilna, the old capital of Lithuania. In all nearly 500. 000 soldiers had perished from cold and bullets and hardships or had dls appeared. 3. Thinks He Has a Better Trotter Than the Former Champion, The Abbot.
