A translation OF 9 new volume OF the history
Of n Founding of The German Empire, by
Prof. HEINRICH Won SyBEL, has been published
by Z. Y. Crowell& Co. This has ceased to DO
the official history OF the events that led to the
coronation Of William !. as Emperor OF Ger.
many. A few months after tho retirement OF
Prince Bismarck from the post OF Chancellor
the permission which had been given to the au.
thor to consult the Of the German
Foreign Office was withdrawn. II appeared at
nrst sight that this would be fatal to the com.
pletion OF his undertaking. Nevertheless, the
author has endeavored to possess himself Of
an adequate amount OF authentic knowledge
concerning the historical events belonging to
the period from 1866 10 1870, and the outcome
Of his personal researches Is now before us.
The most interesting features Of this volume
are the chapters dealing with the uncertain
condition of Europe after the close OF the Aus.
tro-Prussian war, with tho North-Gorman Fed.
eral Constitution, with the new customs union
tire Ntics. with tho Luxembourg incident, and with
the expulsion Of Isabella II. from Spain, which
was to be eventually followed by an offer Of the
crown to n Prince OF Hohcnzollcrn. an offer
which became tho prctcxt OF tho war between
France and Germany.

armies. therefore, OF the North German Confcd-
Grafton should never be mnde smaller, but might
be enlarged. The adoption of tho Constitution
was due mainly to bismarck, who, on March 10.
1867. made n powerful speech In the Rcichs,aE,
from which we quote n reference to the princi-
pal grounds on which the proposed organic law
had been assailcd: COLLECTIONS have been raised
from two Sides" he said, namely, by those In
favor OF unifcation and by the Particularists.
The former would prefer a constitutional mon
archy, with a responsible Ministry. But how
shall twenty-five Governments appoint such a
Ministry Exclude twcnty.one OF these from
any participation in tho Executive, and.
by that single stroke, they arc media
tized: as yet, however, tho German princes
have shown no desire to exchange their present
position for that Of an English peer. 1t may be
suggested that we Prussians arc strong enough
to compel them to submission. But the founda-
ton upon which our relations are to rest cannot
be one OF force, either toward the sovcrcigns or
toward their people,; 1t shall BIO that of conf.
dence in Prussia's answering fidelity 10 the
agreements she makes; consequently, this conf.
dence must not be shaken so long as others do not
break faith with u.s." With still greater vehe-
mence Bismarck addressed himself to the task
of confuting the objections raised by the Par

all over Europe. Both Molns and Kray wore
completely deceived. Feeling certain that there
were but two French armies with which to con.
tond, namely, the Army OF tho Rhine under
MORGAN and tho shrunRcn Army of Italy under
Mosscna. they had great hopes of succcgs. Mclns,
in particular, regarded the talk about an Army
OF Reserve as a ruse Of nongp ,rtc's, intended TO
divert the Ausirions In Itniy from invading
France. Feeling sure that he had f,thomed
Bonnpnrto's strategy, he rested In a security
which doomed him TO defeat.

What is known as the Luxembourg incident
had q direct and organic connection with the
Franco-German war of 1907. 1t was the
failure OF France to obtain any compensation
for the immense ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF Prussia
In 1865 that rendered a trial of strength be-
tween the two powers inevitable. As carly
as January, 1867, French political agents
were sent into Luxembourg for the DUR
pose OF instilling into the minds OF its inhabi-
tants the desire for Incorporation with France.
The reports OF these agents were favorable. 1t
happened that, at just this time. the Govern
ment OF the Netherlands. view ing with misgiy-
Ing Prussia's tendencies to expansion, was en-
deavoring TO sound the Paris authoritics as
to tho course which France would pursue
in the event OF Prussia's attempting to
include Luxembourg in tho North Ger.
man Confederation. Won Sybel says that
the Dutch Ministers would have been glad to be
rid OF Luxembourg. which threatened TO embroil
them In a European quarrel. TIL King OF Hol-
land, however, and his brother Henry were I'M
willing to surrender The Grand Duchy, and do
sired 10 secure for it its former independence
undor the House Of Orange. A French diplo-
matte agent was at this j~uncture instructed to
lay before the King two secret, but inseparable,
proposals. namely. n defensive alliance. with a
French guaranty against any Prussian protein
sions. and, In return, the surrender OF Luxem-
burg TO France. Prussia. tho agent assured the
King, If tho annexation were a completed
fact, would submit to It, as she could
then cyacunte tho fortress with n good grace,
which otherwise shc could hardly do. Napoleon
ILL.,, the agent protested, was not prompted TO
this course by the desire for ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
but was compelled to 1t by Prussia's increased
strength. together with her present arbitrary
occupation OF tho fortress. From a strategic
viewpoint, he could not possibly allow a forti.
nchtion OF such strength and SO near the French
frontier to remain under the control OF Prussia,
which now had ceased to have q claim upon It.
From q political point of view no could not per.
init so serious a menace 10 the safety OF France,
since no would thereby offend the scl'-rcapecL of
his people. This sense of self-respect, already
seriously offended. would force him TO war.
Won Sybol admits that Prussia had received
the right lo garrison Luxembourg simply ms u
fortress OF the dcfunc; Confederation, which
had It's seat at frankfort, and that Napoleon
H., therefore. was justified In hIs asser-
ton that, by the dissolution OF tho Confed-

Ishod. Won Sybel argues, however. that for
mat very reason Prussia might have replied to
Napoleon's demand that not Franco but The King
OF Hollnnl had Tho right to ask that tho Prus-
sian garrison should DO withdrawn; and, since
Ih!s had as yet not boen dono, Prussia was fully

That Bismarck refused TO evacuato Luxembourg;

Tho Campaign o M.renro.

We owe to Lieut.. HERBERT II. SARGENT of

of the most important schemes of operation
triumphantly worked out by Napoleon Bona

and for critical acumen. may be compared to Mr..
John G. RopesIs examination OF the movements
which eliminated at Waterloo. We refer to
tho book entitled The Campaign Of Marenpo
Chicago: A. c. McClurg & Co... The title OF tho
volume may provo, ut first sight, misleading.
1t is not alone, or chiefly. the battle of MarenRo
which is considered here. but the whole plan of
strategic operations against Austria conceived
and carried OUT by Bonaparte and his appointees
in tho year 1900. The author, therefore. Is con.

which resulted in two defeats OF his Austrian

to detach a body of 1900 men to cooperate

1t will be remembered that, during Bona
parties absence in Egypt, Austria. aided by
Russia, had pushed forward her armies to the
boundaries OF France. One large Austrian army
in western Germany was watching the cross
ings OF the Rhine; another in Northwestern
Italy was fighting tho French along the
Aponnincs and Maritime Alps. From the thea
ire OF operations made memorable by Bona
pNrto's victories in 1867 Austria had G4.vcn
the French eagles. She had all hut rcconQuered
Italy. Except in Genoa and along tho narrow
scHhoara between he Apennines and tho sea no
French soldiers were TO he found upon Italian
soil. Such was the situation when, in Novem-
Der, 1893, Bonaparto became FIRST Consul.

activity were everywhere apparent. or the

Broker Can Get n Nickel watch and Keep HIS

Henry NJ. Curtis, a broker, who was formerly
actively interested in several railroads, was
directed yesterday by Justice Schuchman Of the
City Court to turn over his gold watch and office
furniture to Howard B. Smell, who was recently
appointed receiver Of his property. His son is
an assistant professor of physics in Columbia
University. The receiver was appointed as the
result Of the examination Of Mr.. Curtis in sup
Elementary proceedings on an unpaid Judgment
obtained by Edmond S. Whitman.
Inc examination disclosed that Mr.. Curtis
has a watch which he has carried thirty-hve
years, and has certain furniture in the office 81
New street. where he does his brokerage bust
ness. MIR. Curtis nude the point that the watch
Wa exempt from levy under section 1891 of tho

extent OF 500 was exempt.
He testified that he has a seat on the CONSOLE

saidi would injure him In his business, as he
would miss his trains on the New Haven Rail-
