Corresimedente on he European
'battlefields ,have been struck with
, the -smallness of stature •ef the
French soldiers, and with • :the
French people' in general, They are
an inferior pace physically to the
,. English •or the Germans. Although
' they live in practically the ' mane
'climate and under the 'same condi-
tions, they have not 'been able to
attain :theesize of their neighbors,
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Another etrining facb is the:
fereneein size of Inenehmen them-
selves. The American -Frenchmen,
nneee ancestors same there prior to
• the French. revolution, is much su-
perior in physique to' the. Frencli-
' man of to -day in Franco, While
the Frenchman with a long Ameri-
can ancestry is every whit the equal
in -size to the Eaglisliman and the
German, his European 'cousin eeems.
to be. of a :smaller species.
The answer is f-ourrd in the loss of
life of the' Napeleonic wars. Na-
, Poleob was a Eqiall man himself. He
nets known- affectionately by his
• men as the Little ;Corporal, but
prior to Napoleon's time the French
as. n rule, were big neople. The ex-
• ploreas. who manched through the
wilderness of America and exploe-
cd the wilds of Canada and 'the Mis-
sissippi Valley, were men of massive
build for the most part. They were
the pick of the etirth ae far as
physique is concerned. The trap -
pars and early French :a,,ettlers who
succeeded them, 'were
Men of Good Physique.
Their descendants are the present
Fre ach-Amerioans.
While Napoleon occupies more
pages of history ' thau any other
man, he put his name there at the
exPenes of his own people. :War
takes the bravest arid biggest men.
Every nwar is a sacrifice of the 'best.
With all ,the world against him, Na-
poleon had :to go to unusual ex-
tremes th win his ends. He raised
himself to •the,imperial throne, but
he did it by lopping off the heade
ot his onm peuple and by, taking
their ileah. •
'When Napoleon finally was Inn
prisoned at Saint Heleua, the aenr-
, age. Frencbman was two 'inehes
smaller than he was at the 'time of
the ;stonning of the Bastile. When
Napoleon's guard fell in the sunk-
en road at Waterloo he had com-
pleted his 'career in coning twenty
• poluini of flesh front Isis own peo-
ple.
While the world has marveled for
a (nil tury at the great genius of Net-
Pole:on it has had to adinit that his
genus had no good effect on the
physinite of the French people.
Napoleon eared little :for this sick
, and wounded. That probably
heightened the list of casualties on
his campaigns. The following fig-
ures show how dearly Napoleon's
wain cost the Freech people: In the
Peninsular cLamaign the casualty
lien was 400.000 men. In the Mos-
cow -Campaign his base was 480,000
men The Leipzig camApaign cost
10.3.0D0 tnen. Those three cam-
paigns followed one after eaoh
other and were at the close of Na-
poleons :careen •

admitted it Was a big snisbake. Re-
-ports have 41 that his divorced wife,
Josephine, advised him not to go
on the .eampaign. :Speaking to Gen-
eral Gourgand of the disaster, he
said:
"I did ,not want to make war on
Russia, but M. de Koureleine sent a
mena,cin,ereabte on the subject of the
conduct -of. Devout' troops in Ram-
berg. Beeman aria • Onampagny,
then my foreign ministers, were in.
:Eerier men. They did not under-
stand the real motives that had dic-
tated the note and I eauld not pos-
sibly in say „position ,exchange ex-
plenations with Keurakine. They
persuaded me that the note was
'meant foe a declaration of war and
that 'Lassie, which had witheleawn
her tp000s from Moldavia, was go-
ing to lake the initiative and was
about to enter Warsaw, Then
Kourakine grew menacing and ask-
ed for his passports. I really
thought that Russia wanted war.
• I Set Out for the lenity.
I sent Lauriston to Alexander. He
was not received. I had already.
sent Narbonne and everything con-
firmed me in the opinion that Rus-
sia was ready for war. So I cross-
ed the Nieman near Wilna. Alex-
ander -sent a. general to me ton ea -
sure me that he did not wish for
way. I 'thought bis mission was -a
ruse to prevent•Generel Bagration
from 'being intercepted. I went on
with, my military preperations."
Las Cases said : `If your majesty
had made peace with Spain and
.withdrawn your armyfrom the pen-
insula you might have had from
160,000 to 200,000 more
"But," replied the emperor, "that
would have been 200,000 more men
lost. It seems that when I was at.
Moscow Alexander wished to treat
with me, 'but that he did not dare
because he was surrounded by par-
tisans of England. He was afraid
of being ;strangled. I would not
have declared war upon Russia but
that 1 was persuaded that she was
about to declare war upon me. E
well knew the difficulties to .be en-
countered in such a campaign."
(In Russia :the war was poptiler,
as the people chafed against the.
restraint of the continental blook
age Napoleon established.. C4our-
gaud thought that Napoleon might
from the nature of his tents and
preparations, have been tprepa-ring
for a campaign on India if his Rus-
nian canipaign were successful.)

LIFE IN THE TRENCHES.
Shells. Fly Overhead by Day, and
Alarms and Rifle Fire by Night.
•
The annalied Battle bf the Aisne
was a siege rather then a battle.
For weeks the soldiers of both
armies lived in the cleverly eon-
structed trenches they 'had dug
among the hills and ;stone quarries.
Here is a ;graphic picture of .the life
they led there, taken from an Eng-
lish officer's letter in the London.
Tirnes:
Ten days ago we had arrived
within sound of the firing, and werso
about to take our places in. ,the.
trenches. -That nig-ht we marched
seven miles through the mud over
roads ,that had 'been soaked by four
days' ram and torn by ceaselees
traffic; The ' sound of guns and
-
rifles grew louder .as we apprioach-.
ed the front, and dead horses mark-
ed the passage of the armies. We-
trosied the river Aisne, and .harlt-
ed near the village beneath :the
heights. . . The brigade split into
regiments, and oura went off up
the slippery .with mud, to the
trenches. We relieved a company
-of Irishman almost incoherent in
their speech from ;their long ordeal,
who had begun with the, retreat
from Mona, and lied been. fighting
without ceasing ever since. Many
had been' killed, but with then -
weakened numbers they had taken
these heights, ,and clung to them un-
til our arrival.
We ,posted sentries, :and the com-
pany took up its allotted dine, find-
ing toyer behind the embankment
of a quarry. The next; day ifood- ar-
dyed ; we cooked our tinned beef
and boiledtea, cleanedour rifles,
and began to feel mere at home.
Then we started to dig. No one
knew how long we. should stay, but
the cover was bad, and- gave no
protection from the enemy's guns.
And this we learned bo our cost, for
soon we had our Arai; lesson a,boub
shrapnel. Our own artillery open-
ed fire, end the :shells passed over
our heads into the ,enemy'e lines.,
Then they replied, first at Our guns
and then ab our trenches. Bing I
Smash l.and n shower of pellets and
earth, that was all. A horrid, un-
pleasant soe n d, nynicat of destrue-
tion. Yet, if•rne'n wili remain under
cover, no harancen befall: But they
won't. Nothing on earth will pre-
vent the Briti-sh soldier from. light-
ing it :fire to -cook his tea, or from
gbing rennd to borrow a light for
his cigarette. Then ;the- shrapnel
catches hini. It is not bravery or
any other virtue. Lb- is just his.
eheerful habit. Some men. must -go
out, -of eourse, on duty, and so there
have been the casualties that you•
see in the papees. But with eare,
these kisses should be slight while
we remain in the trenches. And
we begin to think we -shall be there

A capital story which Lord Minto
used to delight in :telling was of an
experiente he bad while he was
Viceroy of India,. One morning in
Simla, he :wanted to -sIP-esk to 'the
Commander -in -Chief of the Indian
Arany:before the latter ,statted work

ed to pay an -early-call. When he
arrived at the commender-in-

his way barredby a sentry, ,who
apparently did not recognize the
visitor. • Lord Miato explained -that
he wanted to see the ,Cemmandee.
in -Chien, but the sentry.deelinettto
allow him to ;pass. "Bat I am the
Viceaoy," protested his Lordship.
The sentry looked at him with a
pitying .smile. "Ali," he -saki,
thoughtfully, "we ‚gees all sorts

toria's grandfather. We 'ad to

25 German Shells to Kill a Man.,
One of the things frequently
noted by eoldiers, at the front in
writing to eettatives .tend friends is
the extraordinary expenditure
bullets required ;to kill a man. A
German neport states that many
German ;soldiens fired 4,000 cart-
ridges apiece during the first ;month
of the war. An English observer
estimated that -25 German -shells are
wasted for every man kil-led by
them. In 1870 44 w.ms, calculated that
the Germans- fired 150 bullets' and
six shrapnel shells for every wound-
ed Fren-ohanan. I.n the Russo-Japa-
nese War it is said 3,000 bullets
were fired for ovary life test.
