he believed the case to be one of bubonic
plague. The health officer u once sent
for DIR. Kellogg, bacteriologist of the
health department. A post mortem fol-
lowed, and President Williamson of the
board of health and Health Officer
O'Brien decided to place the Chinese sec
ton under quarantine until such time as

WAR GEOGRAPHY OF EUROPE.

epoch-making aspects of the seven years
war u756-6s) are TO be sought outside OF
Europe. in India and in America. in the
triumph of England and the ruin. OF
France, as a colonizing and maritime
power. In this wider field the war marks
one of the great stages of modern his
tory. In Europe 1t was a struggle for
existence for Prussia and ended in the
preservation OF existence with added
weight but rot with added territory.
Hostilities began on the sea and in
America. but their extension to the con-
tinent was only a question OF time. and
when that took place the aggressive ac-
ton OF Frederick In striking the first
blow facilitated the completion of a COM
bination against him which was a revolu-
ton In traditional diplomacy. For two
centuries France and the house of Aus.
tria had looked upon each other as natu-
raj enemies, but the rise of Prussia had
introduced new and unlooked-for fac
tor In diplomacy and the penetrating
Kaunitz convinced Maria Theresa that Il
was Prussia and not France which was
the natural enemy OF Austria. To win
the help OF France in crushing Frederick
was a slow process. but the earlier events
of the war crowned the effort with sue
cess. The empress of Russia who saw
