At the signing Of the Convention Of
Olmutz, Austria appeared for the last
time as the wielder Of the hegemony
Of Germany; the convention marked
the last stage of Prussia's descent in
the scale of Germanic influence I'M
der Frederick William ~ and the be-
ginning of the rise of that nation to
the supreme Teutonic power.
After the Congress Of Vienna in
1915 there had been constituted the
Germanic confederation to take the
place of the defunct Holy Roman en-
pire. 1t was a more or less shadowy
affair, born in trouble and filled with
troubles to the end of Its days. In
this confederation Austria. backed by
the states of South Germany. had the
preponderance Of power. The revolu-
tionary movement which swept Eu-
rope In 1S4S shook all Germany. In
Berlin Frederick William was obliged
to make terms with the revolutionists
and at one time the Austrian emperor
was driven from his capital only to
be reinstated by force Of arms. The
question Of succession to the throne
Of the duchies of Schleswig and Hol-
stein was in agitation and Prussia de-
clared war on Denmark. The Russian
czar. who as representative Of the ell
der branch Of the former reigning
house of Gottorp, sovereigns Of the
duchies. was personally interested,
and took a hand. Russia and Eng
land brought pressure to bear and n
truce was arranged between Denmark

dispute. Denmark demanded that
both duchies should be "indissolubly
connected" with the Danish crown.
Prussia refused to agree and on April
3, 1849, the war was renewed.
Prussia Desired Peace.
But, harassed by the actions of the
confederated council at Frankfort,
Prussia desired peace. soon opened
direct negotiations with Denmark and
another truce was proclaimed on July
10. The rest of Germany, led by Aus
tria, declared this independent action

Grafton which claimed the duchies as
"reichland." The car said that the
right of the king of Denmark to the
duchies must be recognized; the Hol-

"the principle of nationalities." which

to Frederick William who, rather
than listen to "the devils nephew"
as he called Louis Napoleon, placed
himself in the hands Of Russia; and

TREATY OF ZURICH, 1859.


The treaty of Zurich, signed on No
yember 10, 1859, virtually created the
modern kingdom of Italy. 1t put an
end to the war which Sardinia and
France had been waging against Aus
tria, and so increased the size and
power of the kingdom Of Sardinia that
after further annexatlons the year fol-
lowing. Victor Emanuel proclaimed
himself king of Italy and the kingdom
Of Sardinia vanished.
It was a curious piece Of nomencla-
ture that of the Kingdom of Sar-
dinia;" for while the house of Savoy
took its kingly title from an unconsid-
cred island. its domains lay In north
ern Italy and also comprised what is
now the southeastern corner of
France. Under the guidance Of Car
YOUR the king of Sardinia had become
the head and front of the nationalistic
movement which was stirring all Italy
when he threw his. troops into the
Crimean war and gained an ally in
France. When the Peace of Paris
closed that war CarvOur boldly told the
assembled delegates that Italy would
never cense to be hOtbed of unrest
and revolution until the Austrians
were expelled. With this idea he had
filed the ear and mind of Napoleon
III. who timorOusly hesitated, posing
as the friend and champion of Snrdin-
ian aspirations but falling to act. At
last, on July 20, 1858, Carvour and the
emperor had secret meeting Mt the
water-place OF Plombleres. In the
Vosges. 1t was agreed that at the
first favorable opportunity France
should attack Austria with an army Of
200. 900, and Sardinia with nm army of
milf that number Peace was not to be
rAnde until Austria was expelled from
Italy. If necessary, the allies would

It looks as If the time were not far
away when women will discuss "un-
dersilks" instead Of "undermusllns,"
for silk has invaded the realm of cot
ton and is fourishing there astonish-
ingly. Just as the silk stocking is not
looked upon now as a luxury but as
necessity of good dressing, and its use
enormously increased, so silk under
garments are making place for them
selves. Women find them desirable be-
cause they are fine and they prove to
be as dainty and as durable as fine
batiste or other delicately woven cot
tons. And the sheen and feel" of silk
are insidious-it Is the easiest thing
in the world to cultivate the silk habit
and next to impossible to break 1t.
The shops are showing silk under
clothes that are moderately priced
along with more silk undergarments
that are high priced. But price means
nothing to the girl Of today-if she
has Ito buy the thing she wants
when she wants 1t. There Is popular
and growing demand for silk I'M
dergarments which means that the
wanted garments will be supplied in
increasing numbers and that the prices
will not be likely to go higher.
The silk most used for undergar-
ments is crepe de chine in white and
flesh pink. For ornament, hemstitch-
ing. French knots. simple embroidery
and val or filet lace, especially in in
sertions. are all equally popular. Other
wash silks, including tafreta, and wash
satins find advocates who like them
as well as crepe de chine. They all
wash easily, the crepe looking espe-
cially well after it is tubbed. They
should be wrung with wrlnger, not
twisted In the hand, folded in a sheet
and irOned while still little damp
with an iron that is only moderately
hot.

shown at other markets. At the Gin

abide by their principles of maintain
ing peace and justice on earth.
If these figures show the potential
force of the League they show also
the need of such League, the need
OF close and honorable cooperation
among the members, and not least the
need of watchful attention to the de-
velopments in central and eastern
Europe.
Independent Action Not Barred,
The second article of the Covenant
provides that its action shall be eff
fected through the instrumentality of
an Assembly and Council, with a
permanent secretariat. This means
that so far as the members of the
Lague act through any common or
gans these are the ones through which
they act. 1t does not mean that they
are not to act directly without the in
tervention of any organ of the
League whatever. To hold such a
view would nullify many of the OBJ
legations which, if one can use the
expression, are personal and direct.
For example, in Article X, the mem
bers bind themselves individually to
preserve and protect one another's in
dependence and integrity against ex-
ternal aggressiveness, the Countil on
ly giving advice on the best means of
doing so. When under Article XIII
two members go to arbitration they
do it without regard to the Council
or Assembly. Under Article XVI the
boycott or blockade is to be set in
operation Immediately by the mem
bers, without waiting for the action
of the Council which has no discre-
ton to authorize or forbid it. This is
true also of the obligation to furnish
mutual economic support and allow
the passage of troops. Again the
agreements for humane treatment of
labor, etc., impose obligations directly
upon the members of the League.
How direct these obligations upon
the members are, how much is left
to their automatic action, and how
restricted is the authority of the or
gans of the League will be seen more
fully as we proceed to examine the
several articles of the Covenant
To meet criticisms made in Ameris
ca, a clause was added to the first ar
ticle permitting any member of the
League to withdraw after two years
notice. Such withdrawal ought not,
of course, to be permitted, in order
to avoid obligations already incurred !;
and it is therefore very properly sub
ject to the proviso that these have all
been fulfilled at the time of the with
drawal.
