tween Louis XIV Of France and the
Grand Alliance in 1897 at Ryswicz,
Holland. So tiresome did the pro
ceedings become indeed, that king

and formed conclusion Months had
been devoted to a dispute about the
place where the conference should be
held Then other months were wasted
on petty formalities OF dress and
precedence
At last William determined to bring
the mummery TO a speedy close. He
had one OF his officers get In touch
with the French marshal in command
in the Netherlands The marshal got
permission from Louis and the two
officers met in an orchard near Brus-
sells. They walked up and down to-
Eether for two hours and In that time
did more business than the diplomats
at Ryswick had done in as many
months
That was then the latter part Of
June and by the END OF July every
thing was settled, so far as England
and France were concerned the
other nations concerned quickly zen
into line and peace was concluded al
most before the plenipotentiaries in
