There had been mo cotton mill of any sort in the three northern provinces cov- ered by the monopoly, and an investi- sation of conditions made by the minis- ter of finance convinced him that cotton can be manufactured profitably in North China. DEATH TOLL OF FORMER WARS Some of e Figures on History's Famous ttles. Compara The heaviest loss in the battles of the eighteenth century was at Kunersdorf, fought August 12, 1760, where 43,000 Prus- sians met 71,000 Russians and Austrians, and the total casualty list numbered 3,- 370 killed and wounded; 43.4 per cent for the Prussians and 22.1 per cent for the allies. At Zorndorf, fought a year earlier, August 25, 175, the forces engaged were smaller and the total casualties fewer, but the percentage of casualties greater, num- bering 42.9 per cent for the 42,000 Rus- slans, and 33.3 per cent for the 36,000 Prussians. The principal battle of the nineteenth century was Liepzig, October 19, 1813, the “Battle of the Nations,” where Napoleon with 171,000 men met and defeated the lied army numbering 301,500, Napoleon's casualties numbered 45,000 and those of the allles 48,000, but in percentages the losses told heavily against him, 26.3 per cent to 162 per cent for the Russians, Prussians and Austrians. At Aspern, May 21, 1509, 90,000 French lost 42,080, or 4.8 per gent, and 75,000 Aus- trians lost 22,620, or 30 per cent. At Boro- dino, Beptember 7, 1812, the French lost 24,500, or 18.4 per cent of their 130,000, and the Russians 87,600, or 31 per cent of 13i,- 000 men. These are the figures of Otto Berndt in “Die Zahl im Kriege,” Wien, 1897. Fox in his “Regimental Losses of the Civil War,” gives figures for Water- loo which do not agree with those of Berndt, but they are sufficlently near not to disturb the interesting compari- son Fox makes between Waterloo and Gettysburg. At Waterloo the French numbered 2,000 men and 22 guns; the allies num- bered 72,000 men and 186 guns. At Gettys- burg the union army numbered 52,000 men and 300 guns; the confederates, 70,000 men and 250 guns. At Waterloo Welling- lost 23,1 at Gettysburg The loss of the French at Waterloo has never been officially announced, but has been estimated at 26,300; the confederate loss at Gettysburg, as officlally reported by the confederate surgeon general, was 20448, to which must be added 17,07 wounded and unwounded prisoners whose names are omitted from his lists, but @Ppear on the records at Washington. In short, the battles of Waterloo and Gettysburg were fought with from 70,000 to 82,000 men on each side, and the com- batants lost about 23,000 men each. In the Franco-Prussian war the great- est loss occurred at the battle of Grave- lotte, where the Germans lost 4,49 killed (including the fortally wounded), 15,189 wounded and 939 missing; total, 20,677, out of 146000 troops ongaged, exclusive of 65,000 reserves. At Gettysburg Meade's army sustained a greater loss with half the number engaged, It may be suggested that the Franco- Prussian war was, comparatively, of brief duration, and hence a comparison of the aggregate casualties cannot prop- erly be made. But in the American civil war, during six months following May 4, 1884, the various Union armies sustained greater loss than the German armies aid during the whole Franco-Prussian war The tofal loss of the German arniy in that war was 28,277 killed or mortally wounded; 85,482 wounded, and 14,138 miss- ing; total, 127,897, The carualties at Borodino, one of the bloodlest batles since the use of gun- powder, have been variously stated. The Encyclopedia Britannica puts the Rus- Dame team covered just 7,074 miles in | traveling to complete the schedule. In | traveling those 7,074 miles the Notre Dame | eleven traveled through no less than | twelve states. far east as West Point on the Hudson, | as far west as Lincoln, Neb., and as far | slan loss at 20,000 as killed, wounded and prisoness, and the French loss at “con- siderably above 20,000."” Allison gives the losses at Borodino in round numbers only, placing the French loss at 0,00 and the Notre Dame played as | Russian at 4,000 The most creditable statement is found in the journal of the London Statistical soclety, which places north as either Omaha or South Bend, |the number of killed and wounded in the and as far south as Houston. In covering such an enormous territory, Notre D players got an idea of what a big portion of the United States looks like. Incidentally the Hoosiers set traveling record that has seldom been equalied in the history of foot ball Notre Dame is a road team, as only three games of the entire schedule were played on the home grounds, which makes the good showing of the eleven all the more remarkable. French army at Borodino at 25,085, out of 133,000 troops present on the field. The Russian army ‘numbered 132,000 at that battle, and there is nothing to show that its loss was greater than that of its an tagonist, Although the number of killed llnd wounded at Borodino was greater, numerically, than at Waterloo and Get |tysburg, the percentage of loss was very |much less.—Army and Navy Journal, Use 'l'hl-floo’l “Bwapper” cotumn.

SEASON’S CANDLES, CAROLS | Unshaken Hold of 0ld Customs in | Deta of Christmas i Observances, | it It s noticeable that when one fs anx- | lous to celebrate Christmas he does not | strive to originate any new scheme, but, | ruther, searches to revive some old cus- | tom and endeavors to carry it out in ex- acting detail. Even the little Christmas candle which sparkles from the Christ- | mas tree has had its ancestry revived so that the Yuletide spirit which it breathes today may be better appreciated and more thoroughly enjoyed Carols of the season speak thelr own message, yet unless one knows the reason for this form of music at this spectal scason he realizes that his appreciation | of the part they play in the great cele- Lration of the mativity is superficial, | Ir searching back into the past of the Christmas taper it is noted that even among savages light had a religious sig- nificance. Ever since the light of the star led the wise men to Bethlehem and the great heavenly light appeared unto the shepherds watching on Judea's plain Christian people have employed this ele- ment In a religious sense, especially at Christmas, to commemorate the coming of the Light of the World to earth as a guide to mankind, The old custom of burning the Yule log each year, though accompanied with worldly festivities, is sald to have origl. nated for the religlous celebration of Christmas. The light of the burning log was considered emblematic of homage and honor which the household accorded | the Christmas guest. It was a formal ) ceremony for both rich and poor. In the houses of the wealthy Christmas candles burnt from Advent to the Feast of Lights, and they were significant of the | light dawning upon the world of darkness at that hallowed season, | ¥ the candles supplanted the | Yule log, until now the burning taper on the Christmas tree is about all that Is left to symbolize the same thing as |the Mghts of the great logs burned by the religious yet hollday-loving peasants. The people of Ireland took especially to the candle as a symbol. The peasant of that country placed a large oatoake, upon Which were twelve candles surrounding one very large candle, in his window. This was in commemoration of the Savior and the twelve apostles. The trinity candle, which was also {used in Ireland at Christmas, had three {branches, which were burned down to |the place where all united, the remainder being reserved to bum when welcoming the new year, The past of the Christmas caro car- ries one back to the first Christmas night, when the angelic host halled the birth of the Bavior with the heavenly chant, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men.” Since then this carol has been used in observ- Ing the natal day of the Prince of Peace. At first all carols were hymns, dealing With the events of that sacred night and those who helped to make it, but gradu- ally the songs broadened to include the |customa, emblems and traditions of the people. Hence the early carols were |about the Virgin Mary, Joseph, who was |always pictured as an old man; Angel |Gabriel, the three kings of the orient, the shepherds and angels. Later special festival carols were com- poséd and sung to fit the merry ocea- slons of the bringing In of the boar's head and the asking of charity by the Poor peasants, who went singing to the homes of the prosperous Christmas eve, |asking them to taste of the wassail bow! |and bestow charity in return. After the carol left the church it fared the same as the drama after its separation from the religious life of the people, for it took on much of the coarseness and vul garity of those who employed it in thefr holiday frolics, Fortunately the carol today fulfills all that may be expected of it. The words and sentiments of such a sacred song as “0 Little Town of Bethlehem" continues to circle the world, while the carols which have taken on the life of today contain nothing worse than the praises of Santa Claus and the encouragement to the giv- ing of charity and not the asking, Brief Decisions.
