FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF BUCHAREST, 1919.
Peace Treaty Signed Just Before the World War Broke
BY H. IRVING KING

The boundaries which those chronic
disturbers of the peace, the Balkan
states. had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed at the
Roumanian capital on August @, 1913.
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars, practically, one In which the Bal
kan states were united In fighting Tur-
key and one In which they were fight
Ing among themselves. BY 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands In Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose of devoting all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out in Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albanians against the Turks.
1t was the same old story of the Bal
kans being "afiame" again. In March
of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
and Serbia came TO an understanding,
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumania stood aloof. The
Porte. alarmed, promised reforms in Al
bania and Macedonia. Turkey also an
nounced that she would hold army ma
neuvers near Adrianople.
Began to "DlpIomatize."
The great powers began to "diplO-
matize," to prevent a war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo In the Balkans must be main
tanned, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations of the
Balkans had got out of hand, and
little Montenegro, on October g. 1912,
declared war against Turkey. On Oc-
tober II Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia
issued joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc-
tober 10, Kirk-Kilisseh on the oath and
invested AdrianOple on the 9th. Two
days later was fought the sangulnary
battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle
of the war, with a front of % miles.
In this battle the Turks lost $4,000
killed and wounded and 5000 prison
ers, while the Bulgarians lost $4,000
killed and wounded. The Turks now
fell back upon the Tchatalja forts, the
last line of defense for Constantinople.
Meantime the Serbians had swept
into Macedonia and were driving the
Turks before them with heavy losses,
while one part of their army was sent
to join the Greeks at Saloniki and an
grins. The Greeks, coming up from
the south, routed the Turks in several
engagements and finally captured Salo-
Mkt. Turkey asked the powers to me-

he put his hand in his pocket for his

were lost.
"The peer gulped. He looked about

The treaty by which the present
kingdom of Belgium was created and
its neutrality guaranteed was signed
at London on November 10, 1881, by
the representatives of Austria, Prus-

paper" which the Germans tore up
when they invaded Belgium in 1914.
but two-for this neutrality guaran-
teed by the treaty of 1881 was re-
affirmed by Germany at the beginning
of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 at
the demand of England. The congress
of Vienna, after Napoleonic wars, had
constituted Belgium and Holland one
country under the House of Orange.
But the Belgians were never content TO
be under the crown Of Holland and
when the French revolution OF 1880
which placed Louis PHILIPPE on the
throne took place the Belgians were
inspired to a successful revolt which
was directly impelled by the events
of July In Paris. The laws of Holland
were generally unfavorable to the Bel
CLANS; the Belgians were not proper
tionately represented In the legislature
and there was, besides, the difference
in language and religion of the two
sections. Although the Belgians spoke
French. Dutch was made for them the
official language Of the courts and only
Dutch was taught in the schools. Long
before the revolution On Paris an agi-
tation had been going on for separate
admin stration for the Belgians.
Began to Shout for France.
On August 3, 1880, while the people
of Holland were supposed to be cele-
brating the kings birthday, revolu-
tionary piece was performed In the
opera house in Brussels. Stirred by
the dramatic representation the audi
ence began to shout for France and
against Holland. The cries were heard
in the streets and repeated and a riot
ensued. Then some one hoisted over
the city hall the old standard of
Brabant and the riot turned into
revolution. In few hours Brussels
was in the hands of the revolution
aries. The revolution spread to the
country like wildfre. The revolution
lists made a proposal to the king that
he should submit TO the states-general
n proposition for separate governments
for Belgium ard Holland under the
House Of Orange. The king promised
and fulfilled his promise.
A provisional government was estab-
lished In Brussels which declared Bel
gIan independence and called upon all
Belgians serving in the Dutch army TO
return home. The provinces were now

TREATY OF LONDON 1881.


all In revolt. The Gar alarmed at
what he considered the spread of
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
ised contingent of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by a sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting In London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish instruction, which now broke
out. gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. SO England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress of London issued sew
eral protocols intended TO settle mat
tiers but failed to do so. One STUN
bling block was Luxembourg, which Hol-
land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting i'm the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept It until matters were settled more
10 the liking Of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and French army marched In, the
Dutch retiring before IL.
On November Is, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel
GUM signed the treaty OF London. BY
this instrument a part of Luxembourg
was given to Holland and the rest left
In the Belgian hands professionally"
Belgium, IL may be remarked, con-
tinued to hold the duchy until 1889.
The province of Llmburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries Of Belgium
established practically as they are to-
day. The king of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.
The Gar would not ratify this
treaty, although his ENJOYS had signed
II. until the next May, when he did so.
But now King William Of Holland
baked. He refused TO evacuate Ant
werp. which was besieged and taken
by the French thereupon. II was not
until 1880 that King William decided
to accept fate. Having done so ne
abdicated and the BeIgIan5 question
was settled TO reappear In more
tragic form SO years later.
