The only criticism thai foreign
military leaders had to make of the
american soldiers tvaS that they
qrould not stop when their objective
rcas reached. The records of the
war department bear out this "criti-
cism." They show that the Ameri-
can soldiers would not stop though
they faced seemingly certain death
from the hail of German machine
gun bullets and German shrdpnel.

treaty was concluded.
Everything in Europe was put back
as 1t was before the war except that
Prussia kept Silesia and the duchies
of Palma and PiacenZa were separat-
ed from Austria. In America, Louis
burg was handed back to France.
Eight years Of war had only resulted
in enlarging the boundaries of prus-
Sia-nothing else had been accom-
plished. The treaty left undetermined
the boundaries of the British and
French possessions in America and

This gigantic conflict known ms 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 l453 is sometimes innc-
curately referred to as the HUNDRED
Years War"
The Thirty Years war is often
called n religious war, but it was 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.

In May of 1918 the Bohemian Prot

to manhood and died knowing no

On October IS. 174S, there was
signed at x-la-Chapclle a 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 tirebrands, flung across
the Atlantic. lit the torch of war in
America, kept the British colonies in
state of unrest and burdened them
with an expenditure of money ana
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 a masked ball, started by
post for the Austrian frontier, where
he had secretly massed 10000 men,
and without any preliminares or any
declaration of war invaded the Aus
trian province of SileSia, cynically re-
marking, Let us make the war first
plenty of reason for it can be found
ferring to this act. he said: II did it
to get myself talked about"
A True Hohenzolern.
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 Prussans We're masters of the
province. France, Bavaria, Spain,
Sardinia, etc, at once joined in to
despoil the young queen before Prus-
sia should get all the best of the
"pickings" Driven from her capital,
Maria Theresa sought refuge among
the Hungarians, who received her 10y
struggle. In June, 1142, Frederick
coolly abandoned his allies upon re-
ceiving the cession of the greater part
of Silesia. 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 Hapsbure
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
