was recognized as duke of Holstein

that duchy.

The alliance formed by Prussia
from the first was insincere and soon
broke up, and a league Of the four
kings Of Saxony, Bavaria, Hanover
and Wurtemburg was formed against
Prussia under the patronage Of Aus
tria. Prussia, however, drew to her
league some Of the smaller German
states, among them Hesse. After the
signing of the treaty which closed the
war between Denmark and Prussia,

revived the power of the diet, prom

Hesse withdrew from his alliance with
Prussia and abrogated a constitution
which had been forced upon him in
1S4S. A revolution drove him from
his throne and he fled to Frankfort to
ask aid from the diet. Bavarian troops
were ordered to occupy Hesse. Prus-

Frederick William dispatched Baron
Manteuffel to Olmutz in Austria

general, Schwazenberg, and on No

STA. Prussia agreed to withdraw all
her troops from Hesse, except one
battalion. at Cassel, and the right of
the Austrian emperor to protect HesSe
was recognized. The full significance
of this will be realized from the fact
that electoral Hesse lay between the
two halves of the Frussian kingdom
and it's occupation by Austria would
mean an Austrian garrison in the
heart of Prussia. Also Prussia was
obliged to 90 back on her treaty with
Denmark and agree to help Austria
force out the Holsteiners who had in
vaded Schleswig and, finally, to
break up the League of the North.

New Cabinet Hard to Get,

Weimar, June "a. Germany ac.
quired a new cabinet only after a week
of literal sweating in Weimar. The
signing of the peace terms was the
only question around which the cabi-
net construction hinged, and the gov
eminent, which wen on record as con.
sidering the terms unacceptable, found
. surprising following behind them.
Tho first party ballots, however,
seemed to make signing inevitable, for
the powerful Majority Socialist party
voted t%wo-thirds for signing.

At the signing of the Convention of

After the Congress of Vienna in

before yesterday and ended yesterday
Afternoon resulted in the finding that
death was due to negligence OF mo-

McDonough was killed on Monday,
March 8, when he fell from the Rives-
Vile trestle "a drop of fifty feet. At
the time, the motorman, T. A. Wal
ters, said McDonough was on his
hands and knees ready to hang over
to avoid the onrushing car when ne
first saw him, and that as soon as the
car reached the spot, the man drop
according to his (Walters') be-
lief, through fright or sudden faint.
McDonough's friends, Undertaken
Cunningham and Coroner Lloyd were
at first OF the opinion that McDon-
ough came to his death through acci-
dent. Coroner Lloyd was several
days completing an investigation and
a cor0ner's jury was appointed con-
sisting Of j. S, Scott, John S. Hamil-
ton, Thomas Tucker, Thomas j. Hess,

Smith Hood said he was walking
on the B. g. o. track about 800 feet
away directly across from the spot OF
the accident and saw McDonough
drop. He testified that the journal

this caused the fall. McDcnough

SOLDIERS BONUS
CAUSES MUCH work
Home Service Department
Red Cross is Busy
Place.

The Home service department OF the
Fairmont Chapter of the American Red
Cross in the Professional building has
been the scene for more than a week
of unusual activity which has been
caused by the announcement by the
war and navy departments of the $50
bonus to be paid discharged soldiers
and sailors.
A corps of clerks have been kept
busy mailing out the release papers of
the men which must accompany the
application, upwards of 300 having
been mailed out in the last two days.
The Home service room has been
crowded with applicants, many Of
whom have seen active service and
are wearing wound cheVrons, with 9TH
ers whose period of service was spent
in training camps in the states and in
France. There is considerable reluc-
lance on the part Of many to part with
their discharge papers, stating that
the discharge papers are worth con-
siderably more than the $50 bonus and
the majority Of these have had certlfi-
ed copies made though it is the origi-
nal copy demanded by the government
before the check Is mailed.
Others however, do not value the
discharge papers so highly and reIin-
uishq them without even asking for
receipt or come back Of any kind.
