In April Of 1S45 the United States
entered into war with Mexico. BY
September 1S47, the American flag
as a pacifist orator Of the day put it
waved in insolent triumph in the
halls of the M~ontezumas," and on Feb
ruary ? of the following year a wholly
unauthorized private citizen signed on
the part of the Americans a treaty
by which the United States obtained
undisputed sovereignty over a terri
tory more than four times the size of
the German empire ms it was before
the recent debacle, paying Mexico in
return .S15,000,0O0 and assuming 49,
100000. Of Mexico's debts. BY the
treaty with Spain In 1919. the United
States had, indeed, acquired Florida,
but she had released her claims to
Texas, over a part of which at least
she had claimed a right under the
Louisiana Purchase. When the last
Spanish of Cortez as viceroy
OF Mexico was deposed in 1921, Mexico
succeeded to the right of Spain in
Texas, but left that vast territory as
forlorn and ~undeveloped as 1t had been
under Spanish rule.
A year of war ensued. Everybody
remembers the name of Sam Houston
and the fact that Thermopylae had
its messengers of death; the Alamo
had none" From 1886 to 1915 Texas
was an Independent republic under the
banner Of the Lone Star"
In 1915 1t was annexed to the United
States and IA dispute at once arose
with Mexico Over the southwestern
boundary of the newly acquired state,
Mexico claiming that boundary to be
the Nueces while the United States
claimed it to be the Rio Grande. John
Slidel. afterwards so well known in
the Mason and Slidel affair of the Civil
war, was sent to Mexico to try and
arrange the matter in dispute, but was
refused a hearing.
Early in 1916 General Taylor was
ordered to move to the Rio Grande.
Mexico had severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the United States upon the
annexation of Texas. General Taylor
established his headquarters at a point
opposite Matamoras. His force con-
sisted of a little over $500 regulars.
Learning that the Mexicans were pre-
pairing to cross the river higher up,
Taylor sen out a reconnOitering party
consisting Of 90 dragons under Cap
tain Thornton who, on April 20, was
surprised and captured by the Next
cans after the loss of 10 men. The
war had begun. The news of Thorn
tons capture reached Washington on
May o. President Polk sent a mes
sage to congress stating that Mexico
has passed the boundary of the United
States and shed American blood on
American SOIL" Congress passed a
bill providing for the enrolment of
$4,000 volunteers and n war appro-
priation Of $40, 100000, congress agree
Ing with the president that "war ex-
lists by the act of Mexico"

that leather be substituted 10 some

TREATY OF PRAGUE, 1866.


Gastein on August 20, 1865, and after
talking matters over agreed that Duke
Augustenburg should be thrown over
board and that Prussia should have
Holstein. At the same time the III.
tie duchy of ~Lauenburg, a part of the
greater duchies, was assigned to Prus
sia absolutely: and from this uncon.
sidered trife Bismarck subsequently,
took his title Of duke OF Lauenburg.
Early in June, 1896, Prussia brough,
forward In the diet at Frankfort a
proposition to reform" the Germanic
confederation. the reform to consist OF
the expulsion Of Austria, the establish.
ment of an elected German parliament
to take the place Of the diet and the
formation OF an army OF North Ger.
many to be commanded by the king
Of Prussia. Naturally these drastic
propositions were rejected and Bis.
marck frankly warned the diet tina,
he would destroy the confederation.
Austrian Motion Prevailed.
The Prussian governor Of Schleswie
on June 10 announced that owing 10
the failure of Austria to preserve or.
der in Holstein he was compelled IN
take over the administration of that
province-whlch he did. Austria and
Prussia recalled their ambassadors
and both nations appealed to the diet,
Austria demanding that Prussia should
be disciplined and Prussia demanding
that Austria should get out. Bismarck
declared that II the Austrian motion
prevailed Prussia would declare the
confederation ended. and threatened
with loss OF sovereignty such German
states as should support Austria in
the coming war. The Austrian motion
prevailed and Prussia withdrew from
the confederation. All the German
states except Mecklenburg sided with
Austria while Italy became an ally of
Prussia and attacked Austria
Negotiations for peace began and a
treaty was signed at Prague on Sep
TENDER 3. 1896. Austria agreed to the
dissolution Of the Germanic confeder-
alton and to withdraw entirely from
German affairs. Prussia was to annex
Schleswfg-H olstein, Hanover, a portion
Of Hesse-D armstadt, the electorate of
Hesse and the city Of Frankfort.

Dress hats for midsummer. as com
pared to other millinery, are as orchids
compared TO other lovely blossoms
These millinery blooms are the most
fragile, most splendid Of all, the fairest
and the shortest lived. They are mid
summer interpreted in hats by de-
signers whose fancies are unhampered
by thoughts Of anything but beauty.
They look 10 the sheerest fabrics and
to the most beautiful colors to trans
late their thoughts into millinery.
In the group of three hats made for
the heart Of summer, two are Of print
ed g~eorgette and one OF plain geor-
gette in the sheerest quality. The same
wide-brimmed, graceful shapes ap-
pear developed In laces. malines and
nets. Brims usually have lines in
flowing curves about the face and
crowns are often flexible. The hat at
the right of the group is a lovely ex-
ample. A vague flower motif against
a black ground provides color. There
is no trimming except the sash of vel
vet ribbon. in one Of the colors In the
crepe. that is brought about the crown
and tied in a bow at the back.
In the hat at the left there is a
hint of sport styles in the covering. 1t
is of white crepe georgette with gay
figures of Rin-tin-tin and Nanette dis
porting themselves over its surface. A
covered silk cord with small tassels at
the ends disposes itself in a careless
bow on the crown-to answer pres
ent" in case any one asks for the
whereabouts Of trimming.

Black georgette over a satin slip
serves for the dignified gown at the
left of the picture. Its construction Is
so simple that the picture tells about
all that can be told. 1t has a very
plain bodice with round neck, bound
with brocade. The skirt is gathered
to this and hangs straight with an
~overhanging panel at the front that
is embroidered near the bottom. The
same embroidery appears at the sides
below the hipline. A very gorgeous
sash of heavy brocaded ribbon makes
the wide girdle with one long hanging

Austria and Prussia having obtain
ed the joint possession Of Schleswig-
Holstein by the treaty of Vienna, the
question now arose what should be
done with 1t. The two powers who
had overcome Denmark argued over
the division Of the spells for nearly
two years. The question itself might
have been settled, but 1t was only a
symptom Of a larger question which
had for centuries been agitating Ger
many, the question as to whether the
northern section or the southern Sec
ton should predominant; and Bis
marck saw In 1t an excuse for driving
Austria forever out Of n participation
In German affairs-the only way by
which Prussia could be made supreme.
Austria began TO see that she had
been made a cats paw and favored
the claims of the young duke Of Aug
ustenburg to the sovereignty Of the
duchies, that young man having set
IN a court at Kiel. In fact King Will
liam and the Prussian parliament were
inclined TO favor the dukes preten.
sions. But Bismarck carried every
thing before him and caused the king
to set up a claim to be by descent en-
titled to the throne of the duchies him
self. The time for a breach with Aus
tria. however. had not yet arrived. Won
Moltke reported that the Prussian
army was ready ; but Bismarck desired
to assure the help, or at least the neu-
trality of the great powers before he
struck. He went personally to Biar-
ritz and had a series OF interviews
with Napoleon III. What dreams he
encouraged the emperor In. what he
promised him and what he showed him
BY way Of argument, are only sur
misses.
Demands Of Bismarck.
In December. 1894. Bismarck de-
ciared that Prussia would be satisfied
with nothing less than the lncopora-
ton of the duchies In her military.
commercial and postal systems. In
the duchies the Austrians were en-
barked on a policy of obstruction and
the stolen land was in disorder. King
william wrote to the Austrian emperor
that If Austria did not take steps to
preserve order in the duchies he would.

Self-knowledge Is a wonderful re-
straint to unkind criticism. No one
who has lived much within the doors
Of his own heart a have failed to
discover a surprising number of faults
and weaknesses. His own rules are
broken by himself, his moods suddenly
sway his better judgment, and when
he fancies that his higher self is living
al peace, a lower SELF Unexpectedly
appears and often dominates his
words and his actions. He has such
frequent cause to wonder at himself
that he ceases to wonder at his neigh
bork Consciousness and caviling at
the shortcomings Of others are, in
truth, very strong evidences Of but
slight acquaintance with self.
