reign. During the captivity OF Fran
els there had been cessation Of hos
Titles; but no sooner did Francis
feel himself once more seated on his
throne than he began to organize for
renewal of the war.
After waiting three months Charles
sent emissaries 10 Francis. demanding
the fulfillment OF the treaty OF Madrid.
The king said he would have to con-
suit the BurgundIans. The Burgun-
dams refused to be handed over.
Francis would pay an indemnity for
Burgundy and keep the rest Of the
treaty, including the REIMBURSEMENT Of
all his Italian possessions.
Francis Set His Army In Motion.
The king of France swore that II
the treaty was not kept he would re-
turn and deliver himself up. 'Let him
keep his OATH" said Charles. adding
some other remarks about conduct un-
becoming man Of honor. which were
reported back 70 Francis. Francis set
his army In motion on August 3. and
the war between him and the emperor
began again after truce of Fifteen
months, TO last three years longer.
Angered at the charge of bad faith
made by Charles. Francis sent her
aid TO the emperor with cartel writ
ten In his own hand, saying: "You
have lied In your throat in saying
that we have done anything unworthy
OF gentleman of honor. Appoint
time and place of meeting and we will
bring our sword for you TO cross"
When Charles received this chal-
lenge he consulted the grandees OF his
kingdom. The duke OF Infantado gave
the opinion that. whatever might be
the popular opinion, kings were bound
by the laws OF honor as other people.
However, he did not think the fulfill
ment of a treaty was fit subject TO
be decided by duel. Charles, never
tbeless, sent his herald 10 Francis. ac-
cepting the challenge and appointing
a time and place for the meeting. He
also gave the herald long written
argument on the treaty OF Madrid, and
treaties In general, with which he was
to preface the acceptance OF the chal-
lenge.
When the herald began to read.
Francis stopped him with: II will
hear nothing but the time and place.
Does he acceptT'

the herald.

not speak before giving me the time

'Sire. then give me my safe conduct
home" said the herald.
Let him have IT," cried the king
and so there was no duel.

like asking a man suffering from
long and dangerous disease II he
wanted to be cured" Secret negotia-
tons were begun and IN January OF
1713 general conference was opened
AT Utrecht. England and France
came quickly to terms. In America
England was given Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia. Hudson's bay "and its
shores" and the territory OF the
Five Nations In New York. But nego-
tintions between the other powers be-
came acrimonious and dragged along.
The envoy OF the German emperor be-
came so insulting that he was forbid
den to come more TO the conference.
The conduct OF the Dutch had pleased
neither England nor France and the
Dutch delegates were mercIlessly

the French ENJOYS. 1--WE come to treat

Truce Between French and English.
There was truce between the
French and the English but lighting
went on between the Germans and the
French. Germany began to split up,
Prussia being the first to desert the
emperor. The spring OF lib had now
come and England fixed the month OF
April as the very latest date at which
a peace must be signed. On the elev-
cnth Of that month peace was
signed between Prussia, England.
France, Holland. Savoy and Portugal.
The duke of Savoy and the eiector
CT Prussia were recognized as kings;

On April IL. 1713. was signed at
Utrecht In Holland treaty OF peace
which closed war that had been
raging for twelve years--the War OF

was who should be king OF Spain.

france had become a mighty power
and the nations viewed with alarm a
Bourbon prince who might become
king OF France on the throne of Spain.
AT once was formed the Grand ALI
ance" of England. Holland, Austria
and Germany. and. later. Portugal.
Frances allies were Bavaria and the
duchies of Modena and Savoy. Spain
sided with France but lacked money
and men. This war brought out the
splendid military genius of MARI
borough and the scarcely less remark
able genius OF Prince Eugene of
Savoy; and the victories OF Bienhelm,
families. Oudenarde and Malplaquet
humbled the pride and broke the pow
er OF France.
Colonies Bore 6runtof War.
In this country the northern and
southern colonies bore the brunt of
the war. The Carolinas, then one
colony extending to Spanish Florida,
sent a force which captured st. Au-
gustine but retired upon the arrival
OF French army. Further west
Carolina expedition fought Its way TO
the Gulf OF Mexico. The French and
Spanish fleets attacked Charleston,
but were driven Off. In Massachu-
sets, Haverhill and Deerfield were
burned by forces OF French and In
dams and In the heart of the state
the people were kept In terror for
years by prowling bands who burned
and killed. A New England force,

In Europe the allies had invaded
France and the English had taken

an example OF a treaty which was
