On April II. 1713. was signed at
Utrecht in Holland treaty OF peace
which closed war that had been
raging for twelve years-the War OF
the Spanish Succession; known on
this side of the water ms Queen
Apne's war. The question at issue
was who should be king Of Spain.
Leopold of Austria, emperor OF Ger
many, claimed 1t for his grandson.
France had become mighty power
and the nations viewed with alarm n
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
t:uchies of Modena and Savoy. Spain
sided with France but lacked money
and men. This war brought out the
splendid military genius of Mnrl-
borough and the scarcely less remark
able genius of Prince Eugene OF
Savoy; and the victories of Blenheim,
families. Oudenarde and Malplaquet
humbled the pride and broke the pow
er of France. ~

southern colonies bore the brunt of

years by prowling bands who burned

aided by an English fleet captured
Port Royal in Nova Scotia and

In Europe the allies had invaded
France and the English had taken
Gibraltar. The emperor, Leopold. and
his eldest son were both dead and the

throne had become German emperor.
England, only anxious for the bal

menace in Germany than In France.

Truce Between French and English.
There was truce between the
French and the English but fighting
went on between the Germans and the
French. Germany began to split up.
Prussia being the first to desert the
emperor. The spring of 1713 had now
come and England fixed the month of
April as the very latest date Mt which

cpth of that month peace was
signed between Prussia, England.

The treaty of Utrecht CLOSED the

Americans the thing of deepest inter
est about the war it ended is the fact
that a struggle to decide whether a
Bourbon or Hapsburg should be
king of Spain drenched the soil of
Massachusetts with blood and brought
Charleston under the fire of hostile
fleet.

Four hats that are nothing less than
four spring songs, each as different
from the others as 1t can be, intrigue
the buyers of new millinery to con-
slider their merits. They are totally
different, each from the others, in
character and bespeak a little thought
on the part Of the fair one who Is
about to make selection; for they
are suited to differing types Of wom-
en-. 1t is the woman who understands
her own style that will make the most
careful study Of them.
The large hat at the top Of the
group will look well on a great num-
ber of heads, especially II Its wearers
have something Of youthfulness In
figure and carriage, or something OF
stateliness in Its place. The big hat
Is for whoever can carry it of and
1t is quite generally becoming. This
model is a wide-brimmed Milan faced
with georgette crepe, and has high
velvet daisies applied fat to the
crown, and long stitches Of chenille to
give unity to this trimming. There Is
a pretty feather ornament at the left
side. Flowing lines in these large
,hats make them the delight Of tall
women. and especially in SEASON
when long skirts are worn.
At the left Of the group there Is an
adorable poke bonnet. Right away
1t brings to mind petite figure. and
quite likely taffeta frock or one

did not withhold his consent. In Eng

looked upon with suspicion feOm the
first, and though there is no doubt Of
the sincerity of Emperor Alexander
1t was feared that it might serve as a
cloak for tyranny and territorial ag-
grandizement. The terms Of the al
lance were SO drawn as to be highly
altruistic In the enunciation Of prin-
ciples but somewhat hazy with regard
to their application. Metternich. the
Austrian premier. approved the al
lance with few cynical remarks.
Wellington said England would de-
mand something more definite"
What had been feared by the Eng
lish statesmen happened. The Holy
Alliance was evoked by interested SOW
ereigns to cover acts Of tyranny and
aggression. Imperial historians agree
that the treaty of the Holy Alliance
ltSGll was altCl ahJuSSAy
for the acts committed in its name. AT
Verona in 1922 the Holy Alliance de-
termined upon interference in Spain to
suppress the popular uprising there
and France, as mandatory" carried
out that resolution.
Enunciation Of Monroe Doctrine.
At this congress of the Holy Alliance
at Verona the proposition was made
and agitated, but not brought to 4
vote, that the armies of the alliance
should cross the seas and effect con-
quest of the revolted American colonies
of Spain. When the news of this
reached England, Canning, British sec
retary of foreign affairs. wrote to Mr..
Rush, American minister to England.
Mr.. Rush wrote to President Monroe
and the result was the enunciation of
the Monroe doctrine.
The idea of the Holy Alliance, as EN-
peror Alexander planned 1t, was sub
lime. But 1t worked in n diametrically
opposite manner from what he in
tended. Perhaps Its provisions were
too vaguely drawn-perhaps the world
was not ready for it. After the con
gress Of Verona 1t began to "petel
out" and ceased to exist in 1880.
