FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
TREATY OF PRAGUE, 1866.

BY H. IRVING KING
Mcclure News paper Syndicate.)
Copyright. 1912. by

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 spoils for nearly
two years. The question itself might
have been settled, but 1t was only a
symptom of 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 ii an excuse for driving
Austria forever out of a participation
in German affairs-the only way by
which Prussia could be made supreme.
Austria began to see that che 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
up q court at Kiel. In fact King VIII
liam and the Prusslan parliament were
inclined to favor the dukes preten-
sions. But Bismarck carried every
thing before him and caused the king
to set up claim to be by descent en-
titled to the throne of the duchies him
self. The time for breach with Aus
tria, however. had not yet arrived. Won
MoItke 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
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 you'd be satisfied
with nothing less than the incopora-
ton Of the duchies In her military,
and postal systems. In
the duchies the Au ms were en-
parked on a policy of obstruction and
the stolen land was in disorder. King
william wrote to the Austrian emperor
hat IL Austria did not take steps to
pr .serve order In the duchies he would.
Tie emperor and the king met at

In April Of 1S45 the United States
entered into war with Mexico. By
September 1S47, the American flag
as q pacifist orator Of the day put it
waved In insolent triumph in the
halls Of the Montezumas," and on Feb
ruary 2 Of the following year a wholly
unauthorized private citizen signed on
the part Of the Americans treaty
by which the United States obtained
undfsputed sovereignty over a terri
tory more than four times the size Of
the German empire as 1t was before
the recent debacle, paying Mexico in
return $1o,OO0,OOO 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 part of which at least
she had claimed right under the
Louisiana Purchase. When the last
Spanish successor 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 undeyeloped as 1t had been
under Spanish rule.
Early In 1S48 General Taylor was
ordered to move to the Rio Grande.
Mexico had severed diplomatic rela-
lions with the United States upon the
annexation Of Texas. General Taylor
established his headquarters at a point
opposite Matamoras. His force con-
sisted Of little over $500 regulars.
Learning that the Mexicans were pre-
pairing to cross the river higher up,
Taylor sent out a accommodating party
consisting Of SO dragons under Cap
tain Thornton who, on April 26, was
surprised and captured by the Next
cans after the loss of 16 men. The
war had begun. The news Of Thorn
tons capture reached Washington on
May 8. President Polk sent mes
sage to congress stating that Mexico
has passed the boundary Of the United
States and shed American blood on
American SOIL" Congress passed q
bill providing for the enrolment Of
$1,000 volunteers and a war appro-
priation Of $1O,O0O,OOO, congress agree
ing with the president that "war ex-

General Taylor gained the victories

,sastein 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 lit
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, 1868, Prussia brought
forward In the diet at Frankfort
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 that
he would destroy the confederation.
Austrian Melton Prevailed.
The Prussian governor of Schleswis
on June 10 announced that owing to
the failure Of Austria to preserve or
der In Holstein he was compelled to
take over the administration of that
province-which 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. AMI 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

| day he stormed the Belem gate and
entered the Mexican capital.
When Vera Cruz fell President Polk
decided that 1t would be we'll to have
along with Scott's army a commission
er authorized to sign a peace with the
Mexicans as soon as they had been
sufficiently defeated to be amenabls
to terms. N P. Trist, chief clerk Of
the state department, was chosen and
having been given the rough draft Of
treaty reached Vera Cruz on May 8
OF 1847 and Joined Scott. Mr.. Trist
got no opportunity to exercise his dip
lomatic powers until after the battle
Of Churubusco. The morning after
that battle Scott was met by commits
soners from the Mexican president,
Santa Anna. WITH proposals for an
armistice. This was agreed to and
Mr.. Trist wrote to the Mexican minis
ter Of foreign relations that he was
ready to enter into negotiations.
A Treaty Without Authority.
Five Mexican commissioners met
Mr.. Trist at village lying between
the American and Mexican lines which
bore the impossible Aztec name Of
Atzcopozalen. Mr.. Trist wanted Low
er California but was willing to con-
cede that point, but he would not give
up the demand for New Mexico (then
comprising what Is now New Mexico
and Arizona) south Of the thirty-sev-
enth degree. Nor would the Mexicans
give 1t up. The negotiations came to
nothing, the armistice was ended and
Scott resumed his advance. Counter
propositions which the Mexican COM
missioners had made were referred
by Mr.. Trist to Washington, but he
was generally thought to have been
too wavering at the village with the
name-and. without
waiting to hear from him officially.
President Polk revoked his authority
and sent him a letter Of recall.
After the capture Of the City Of
Mexico the Mexicans saw that further
struggle was hopeless. California had
meantime been occupied by Commo-
dores Sloat and Stockton and the land
forces Of Generals Fremont and
Kearny. Santa Anna resigned the
which passed to General
Anaya, who summoned a congress at
Queretaro. One Of his first acts was
to appoint a commission to proceed
to the City of Mexico and confer with
Mr.. Trist. Mr.. Trist had already re-
ceived his letter Of recall. The Mex
lean commissioners. with singular rea-
soning suggested that they had mot
been officially notified Of the American
ENJOYS recall" and Mr.. Trist agreed
to treat. Mr.. Trist met the Mexican.
