CENTENARY OF CONGRESS OF CHATIILON AND FAMOUS ODE.

One hundred years ago today, Feb. 4. 1914, "a congress was opened at Chatil1on, on the Seine in France at which the representatives of England Prussia, Russia and Austria discuss ed terms of peace with Napoleon. The negotiations, which continued until the nineteenth of March, varied ac- cording to the success or failure of the armies in the field. Napoleon had reached a point where he would glad ly have accepted the terms offered in 1s13, but the allies refused to renew that proposal. They decreedl that France must come down to her limits Of 17ss- .sWhatt' cried Napoleon. -.leave France smaller than I found herr Nevers' he swore. and fought on against tremendous odds.
 At the Chatll1on congress Napoleon was represented by Caulaincourt. With his imperial master inithe field, shut off from quick standardization. and with the allies steadily closing in upon Paris. Caulaincourt played from the first losing game IA man of no great ability, he was pitted against such dimpomats as Metternich. rep rssenting Austria; Cast1ereagh. the English plenipotentiary; Stein and William von Humboldt, acting for the German states and Prussia and Rasn- novaki and Pozzo di Borso. who look ed after Russian interests
 From the battlefield Napoleon sent contradictory messages to his agent. After winning victory he was iu- bilart, and instructed Caulaincourt to remain firm. Then, when the fright fuI combination of forces again began to close in on him with deadly and ferocfous precision, he frantteal7y ap- pealed to Caulaincourt to obtain peace at any price The terms of the al- lies grew more exacting as their ar mics penetrated further into France. The Czar Alexander of Russia. al though not in attendance at the con- gress, was near by. and in his deternni- nation fo wipe out the Humiliation o1 Moscow by riumphal entrance into Paris he opposed all attempts to bring aBout a peace. The final proposal, calling for a reduction of the empire to the original limits Of France, was agreed upon during a game of whist The Corsican rejected this ofrer with seorn. ;characterizing it as mot a proposal but 8 capifulation, disnonor- able to France. Thus nothing came d the congress. and Napoleon stood & bay against the world
 The congress at Chatillon was bit- ter1y opposed in England. Germany and Russia, where the great masses 6f the people stood for the utter over throw of Napoleon. Southey reflected their sentiments in his famous ode, published while the pIenipotentiar- les were assembling at ChatiIlon, and which began:
 Who counsels peace at this monnen-
 tous hour,
 when God hath given deliverance to
 the oppress'd.
 And to the injured power?
 Who counsels peace. when Vengeance

 Rolls on. no longer now to be repress-

 When innocent blood
