Gltties must in every instance precede
the peace overtures. This, however.
does not always happen. In the present
case the war shows no sign of COM
ing to an immediate end until after the
peace negotiations have been fully be-
gun. An armistice would have been OF
infinite advantage to Russia, but it
could not have been granted by her
victorious opponent until it was made
absolutely certain that the car was
setting in good faith. First in order
must come the protocol, or preliminary
peace. The protocol is not an arrnis-
tice. An armistice leaves the question
of the war undecided. The protocol
comes only after an assurance of re-
. dress is obtained and provides the gen
eral terms on which the war shall come
to an end.
The protocol is a flexible instrument
and is intended only as a starting
point. In reality, a very wide latitude
is given to the peace commissioners

pafgn to subjugate the small German
states and restore the old religion. The
trouble spread like confiagration and
all Europe was soon involved in 1t.
After awhile it lost it's religious char
acter, France uniting with the Prot
estants. Finally the emperor was beat
en- at his own game and was driven to
sign the treaty of Westphalia- This
document is the basis of the map of
modern Europe. 1t recognized the in
dependence of Holland and Switzer-
land, established the religious equality
of Catholics, Lutherans and Calvinists
and gave Alsace to France and a part
of Pomerania to Sweden. 1t arrested
the scheme of German federation and
made the states of the empire practi-
cally independent of the emperor 1t
prepared the way for the subsequent
development of the power of Prussia.
Another long European quarrel was
ended by the peace of Ryswick. What
ever else may be said of Louis XIV. of
France it is certain that he had no
especial preference for a quiet life. In
his day he managed to come to blows
with almost every power in Europe, and
frequently he had several of them on
hand at the same time At the death
of his Spanish father-in-1aw, Philip ",
he invaded Flanders, which belonged,
ne declared, to his wife, Maria Theresa.
England, Holland and Sweden COM
bined to thwart him and forced him to
sign the peace of AK la Chapelle. He
remained quiescent for four years and
then invaded Holland. That war lasted
about five years and ended with the
treaty of Nimeguen. It was during this
war that the Dutch opened the water
gates. and let in the German ocean.
William of Orange began to forge to
the front. and the first great coalition
of European powers was formed. Again
firing of inactivity, Louis began what
was known as the war of the Pala-
innate, which lasted eleven years. Then
it was that William, now king of Eng
land, formed the great alliance between
England, Spain, Holland and Germany
and forced the French king to sign the
peace OF Ryswick, whereby he was
