This gigantic conflict known as the
Thirty Years war was the longest war
that has afflicted mankind, at least
since the dawn of modern history
though that series of wars between
France and England which extended
from 1888 TO 1853 is sometimes mac
curately referred to as the Hundred
Years War"
The Thirty Years war is often
called religious war, but 1t was n war
In which religion was made the hand
maid of politicians and the excuse of
ambitious princes; the mightiest king
dom on the Protestant side was the
Catholic nation of France. swayed by
Cardinal Richelieu. and the Lutheran
elector of Saxony did not hesitate to
ally himself with the oppressor of the
Bohemian Protestants.
First Overt Act Of the War.
The story that the first overt act of
war arose from :wo soldiers of differ
ent nationalities approaching a well to

rope was set for war and war came.
In May of 1918 the Bohemian Prot
estants rose in rebellion and the con-
fagratlon rapidly spread over conti-
mental Europe. Men were born, grew
to manhood and died knowing no
world but world at war. A man of
fifty could only remember that 1t was
before he attained his majority that
there had been no war war had come
to seem the normal state of the world
In this war were made the military
regulations of Gustnvus Adolphus,
king of Sweden, Tilly. Wallenstein
Turenne and Conde. Central Europe
was the battle-ground and the fortunes
of war favored first one side and then
the other. 1t would take volumes to
detail the campaigns and battles of
this war and its shifting politics. In
the long run the Protestant side
through the fighting power of the
Swedes and the might of Catholic
France, got the best of 1t.

On October 1S, 174S, there was
signed at Aix-la- Chapelle treaty OF
peace negotiated by the wisest states
men of Europe-a treaty that put an
end to the War of the Austrian Sue
cession, which had been going on for
eight years. This war over the ques-
ton as to who should succeed to the
Austrian throne not only disturbed
Europe but Its firebrands, flung across
the Atlantic, lit the torch of war in
America, kept the British colonies In
a state of unrest and burdened them
with an expenditure of money and
lives. Before the death of the EN-
peror Charles vi of Austria he pre-
pared the "Pragmatic Sanction" pro-
viding that the dominions of his
branch of the house of Hapsburg
should pass to his daughter, Maria
Theresa. The nations of continental
Europe agreed to it. but no sooner did
Charles die than the Pragmatic Sane
ton became "a scrap of paper" and
various claimants to the Austrian
throne arose.
While the others talked. Frederick
of Prussia acted. He had ascended
the throne that year. On December
% he left masked ball, started by
post for the Austrian frontier, where
he had secretly massed 10000 men,
and without any preliminaries or any
declaration of war invaded the Aus
trian province of Silesia, cynically re-
marking, Let us make the war first
= hn
afterwards" On another occasion, re-
ferring to this act, he said: II did 1t
to get myself talked about"
A True HohenzoIlern.
There were but 5000 Austrian
troops in Silesia when Frederick
struck and, though re-enforcements
were hurried up. by the end of Janu-
ary the Prussians were masters of the
province. France, Bavaria, Spain,

.pickings." Driven from her capital,
Maria Theresa sought refuge among
the Hungarians, who received her 10y
ally. raised an army and began the
struggle. In June, 1912, Frederick
coolly abandoned his allies upon re-
ceiving the cession of the greater part
of SiIesia. Two years later he was
fighting Austria again and got the rest
of Silesia.
England became an ally of Austria
in 1T41, but it was not until 1744 that
Louis XIV formally declared war
against that country, not as an ally of
Austria but in his own name and on
behalf of France. A French army
sent into the heart of the Hapsburg
domains, and consisting of 100000
men, was so badly handled that. when
forced back to Bavaria in 1743, 1t
could muster but $4,000. The French
met with reverses in Italy, but gained
the battles of Fontency (where the
Irish brigade distinguished itself), of
Raucoux and Lawfeld.
The news that France and England
were at war was first made known to
America through the descent of a
body of French from Cape Breton
upon Canso where the English gar
