musket and a fierce looking cutlass,
both of which were captured from the

which few at the masthead of the
Bonhomme Richard is an interesting
relic of the period 1t was originally
sixteen feet long. 1t has twelve white
stars in the blue background and four

Scraps after its surrender.

Paris Has Had Six of Them, All Inn
portnnt, Named After 1t.
If Russians and japanese really ne
gotiate their peace agreement at Wash
ington the treaty viii be known as the
treaty Of Washington" Among the
most important of the worlds treaties
are the following: The treaty Of West
phalia Q64S), which ended the Thirty
Years war. The peace of the Pyrenees
Q650 definitely marked the fall of
Spain from its position as the leader of
Europe. A historian says: when Spain
signed with France the peace of tire
Pyrenees she signed away with it the
last remnant Of the supremacy she had
exercised in Europe. France, the vic
tor, took the place of Spain in the coun-
ellis Of the continent" BY the peace
of Augsburg 1850 religious freedom
was assured TO Germany, and the war
between Protestants and Catholics
came to an end The treaty of Utrecht
in 1713 terminated the war of the
Spanish succession.
A number Of the most important
treaties in modern history are known
as the treaties of Paris. They are six
in number and bear the dates of 1868,
1888, 1914, 1916 1856 and 1898. The
first of the series marked the end of
the Seven Years war. Among other
things it provided for the cession to
Great Britain of Canada and the region
east of the Mississippi river. The
treaty of Paris, Sept. 3, 1888, between
Great Britain and the United States,
marked the close of the American
Revolution and recognized the indie
pendence of the colonies. The agrees
sions of France under Napoleon found
their conclusion in the treaties of Paris
of 1914 and 1915, by the second of
which France was compelled to pay an
| indemnity to the allies amounting in
all to near $300,000,0OO
In 1856 a treaty Of Paris was con-
cluded among the powers at the close
of the Crimean war. 1t provided that
the Black sea should be neutralized
and that it should be thrown open to
the merchant marine of every nation.
The treaty of Paris of Dec 10, 1898,
| terminated the Spanish-American war
Spain relinquished her sovereignty In
Cuba and coded Porto Rico, Guam and
| the Philippines to the United States.
For the Philippines it received $780,
100000. Other important treaties were
that of Berlin, settling the eastern
question QS7S), and Frankfort-on-the-
Main (N1ay 10, 187D, securing peace
between France and Germany
Latin was formerly the language
used in treaties. But treaties to which
several European powers are parties
are now generally drawn up in French.

the time of Louis XIV, but the final
