now as 1t shows the bonds OF France and

Lord CORVALLIS sword is surrendered and
British rule over the United States comes
to an end. This historic incident happened
to come up when Secretary Day and some
OF the French officials were at q dinner
party not long ago. One Of the French
guests who sat alongside the secretary Of
state recalled that Lafayette had beaten
Lord CORVALLIS and had him so at mercy
that the British commander-in-chief could
have been made to surrender at any time.
But with that infinite consideration char
acteristic of Lafayette he declined to force
surrender, and waited until Washington
could come up and with more appropriate
ness receive the surrender Of the British
commander. Judge Day was familiar with
the incident and recalled many details

President Faure himself referred at st. Ell

modern. In ancient times the victor de-
spoiled the enemy he had overcome, sacked
cities ana took whatever Of value he could
carry away. Now he respects private prop
erty, but he makes the conquered nation
pay the whole cost of the war. In either
case the practice is analogous to that Of
civil courts which assess costs Upon the
defeated party.
The four greatest wars Of the last thirty
five years have all been followed by exac.
lions Of this kind. After Prussia defeated
Austria in the Seven weeks war" OF 1866,
she demanded of her adversary 200o0.00o
thalers, or about s3,0O0,0 900 sterling, mod
est sum as indemnities 60. She made sim
Tar exactions also from the states which
allied themselves with Austria. This was
In addition to territorial concessions.
Five years later France was defeated by
Prussia, and besides being compelled to give
the provinces Of A!sace and Lorraine, was
forced to pay her victorious enemy the
enormous sum of 100000 900 sterling. Pay
ment was to be extended over four years.
and German garrisons were to be retained
In France until the whole was paid, but the
splendid patriotism Of the French people
enabled the government to anticipate the
payments, and the last German soldier left
France in July, 1873.
Again, Russia, after defeating Turkey In
1873 claimed in addition to territorial con-
cessions, a money indemnity of 100000 900
rubles A considerable part of this amount
Turkey still owes to Russia. In like man
ner Japan, following the example of Euro
pean nations, exacted from China in 1895
war indemnity of more than 500 900,
and millions more for surrendering her
claim on the Liaotung peninsula. This was
In addition to the cession of the island o.
Formosa. Such exactions from defeated
nation, whose resources are already nearly
exhausted by the strain of war seem severe.
but If 1t is desirable that litigation be made
not too easy and inexpensive to those who
have a disposition to indulge In 1t. 1t is
vastly more important that nations be de-
tered from entering upon war on slight
provocation.-Tid Bits.
