NAPOLEONFO6CE:D ID ACCEPT PEACE
 OFFER OF ALLIES

One hundred and four years ago today, Feb. 4, 1914, a congress was opened at ChatilIon, France, at which representatives of England, Prussia. Russia and Austria discussed terms of peace with Napoleon. The .negotia- tions, which continued until March 19, varied according to the success or failure of the armies in the field. Napoleon had reached point where he would have gladly accepted the terms offered in 1913, but the allies refused to renew that proposal. They decreed that France must come down to her limits of 17S9. 'What!" cried Napoleon, 'Ieave France smaller than I found her? Never' he swore, and fought on against tremendous odds. .
 At the Chatillon congress Napoleon was represented by Coulaincourt. With his imperial master in the field, shut off from quick communication l and with the allies steadily closing in upon Paris, Coulaincourt played from the start a losing game. From the l battlefield Napoleon sent contradic- tory message to his agent. After winning a victory he was jubilant and instructed Coulaincourt to remain | firm. Then when the combination of forces again began to close in on him with deadly precision, he franti- cally appealed to Coulaincourt to ob- tain peace at any price. The terms of the allies grew more exacting as their armies penetrated further into France. The Car Alexander of Rus sia, although not in attendance at the congress, was near by, and his deter imitation to wipe out the humiliation of Moscow by triumpPal entry into Paris was such that 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 offer with scorn. Thus nothing came of the congress, ana Napoleon stood at bay against the world.
 The congress at Chatillon was bit terly opposed in England, Germany and Russia, where the great masses
