very hurriedly, but the captain of the
company says of it, Careful exami-
nation has convinced me the histori-
cal facts in this volume, as presented
by Wagner Robinson, are strictly
accurate" The book breathes the
very atmosphere of the scenes it re-
cords. In a word, it is piece of
fine work done under the most trying
circumstances, a work creditable in
every way to Mr.. Robinson.
Of all these men and all these
books Erskine College is proud. They
are representatives of the high ideals
of scholarship for which the college
stands. They show what Erskine men

Greenville, August 1.-Announce-
ment was made here today by DR..
W. j. McGlothlin, Furman's new

This means that the Baptist wo-

FAMOUS
PEACE
BY II. IRVING KING
THE PEACE OF WESTPHALIA. 1648.

BY II. IRVING KING

Meantime Europe was becoming ut
terly exhausted in men, money and
commerce and industry. The pope
suggested negotiations for q peace and
in 1641 Louis XIII Of France signed
the preliminaries for a conference. But
Cardinal Mazarin, who had succeeded
Richelieu upon the death Of that great
statesman, did not desire peace until
he had further humbled some Of the
Catholic powers. especially Spain.
Peace Delegates Met at Munster.
However. three years after Louis
had signed the preliminaries peace
delegates met at Munster. The con
gress accomplished nothing. the dele
gates spending their time In %squabbles
over matters Of precedence and eti-
Quette. 1t was hard work to get them
to enter a common council chamber
for fear one envoy would enter the
room before the other, or to sit at any
thing but a round table for fear one
should sit at the head Of 1t. Their re.
tainers fought In the streets for the
right of way. The conference was re-
moved to Osnabruck with like results
The war still going on, the fluctuations
Of battle caused a fiuctuation Of de-
mands on the part Of the ENJOYS. The
house Of Austria split In two, the en-
peror desiring the peace for which all
central Europe was clamoring, but
Spain refusing to treat.
Finally in October Of 164S, after four
years Of negotiation, the treaty known
as the Peace of Westphalia was signed
at Munster. This treaty put an end to
the period of so-called religious wars
and also to the supremacy Of the
house Of Austria In Germany. France
and Sweden were the principal bene-
ficiaries, the latter receiving large Ger
man possessions with three votes In
the diet, as we'll as an naturalization
in money. France vas confirmed in
the possession of Verdun, Toul and
Metz and most Of Alsace. Germany
was left in a horrible ! lte materially
but had won liberty Of conscience and
a promise that laws, taxes and peace
or war should be decided upon only by
a free assembly Of all the estates" of
the empire.

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 q religious war, but 1t was q "a
in which religion was made the hand
maid Of politicians and the excuse Of
ambitious princes; the mightiest king
dom or 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 P~rotestants.
First Overt Act of the War.
The story that the first overt act Of
war arose from two soldiers of differ
ent nationalities approaching a we'll to
get a drink and getting into a fight as
to who should first have the bucket,
Tassoni, the Italian poet, has en-
balmed in his mock-heroic poem, "The
Rape'Of the Bucket"-if he did not in
vent it. At any rate the stage Of Eu-
rope was set for war and war came.
In May Of 1918 the Bohemian Prot
estants rose in rebellion and the con-
Migration rapidly spread over CONT
mental Europe. Men were born, grew
to manhood and died knowing no
world but q world at war. A mar of
fifty could only remember that 1t was
before he attained his majority that
there had been no war; wal had come
to seem the normal state of the world.
In this war were made the military
regulations of Gustavus AdOiphus,
king of Sweden, Tilly, Wallenstein,
Turenne and Condo. 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 it.

On October 10, 174S, there was
signed at AiX-la-Chapelle a treaty or
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 I'VE 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
q 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 EapSburg
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 assembled
the throne that year. On December
% he left q masked ball, started by
post for the Austrian frontier, where
he had secretly massed 10000 men,
I. and without any preliminaries or any
declaration Of war invaded the Aus
trian province of Silesia, c~ynically re-
marking, LET us make the war first

afterwards" On another occasion, re-
ferring to this act, he said: II did it.

A True HohenzolIern.
There were but 5000 Austrap
troops i'm Silesia when Frederick
struck and. though re-enforcemehts
were hurried up, by the end of Janu-
airy the Prussians were masters Of the
province. France, Bavaria, Spain,
Sardinia, ETC., at nee joined in to
despoil the young queen before Prus-
STA should get all the best of the
"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, 1742, 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 1741, but II was not until 1744 that
Louis XIV formally declared war
