Beginning of War.
On January 16, 1854, Prussia and
Austria sent an ultimatum to Den
mark demanding that the constitution
of Schleswig be withdrawn within two
days. The Danish foreign minister
pointed out that as the Danish parlia-
ment was not in session this was inn
possible.
The Prussian troops massed on the
Elder at once crossed the frontier and
war began. Austrian troops Joined
the Prussians and the Danes fought
valiantly but unavailingly against the
invaders. The fortress of Dupple fell
on April Is and the Danes, driven
from the mainland, took refuge on the
island of Asen. There came a pause
in the war and a conference of the
powers was hastily assembled in Lon
don. But Bismarck would listen to no
compromise and the war was renewed.
1t was now clear that Prussia de-
signed both the duchies for herself;
but while Austria saw this she was
scared by a "dre in the rear" For,
taking advantage of Austria's engage
ments elsewhere, Italy vas threaten
ing Venetia. Prussian troops had al
ready crossed the borders of Jutland
and were prepared for advance.
Denmark surrendered and the peace
treaty was signed at Vienna on Octo-
Der 30. By it Denmark relinquished
both duchies to be administered joint.

TREATY OF FRANKFORT, 1871.
Terms of Peace After the Franco-Prussia War.

The treaty Of Frankfort, which Off
cially put an end to the Franco-Prus-
sian war, was but a ratification of the
"preliminaries Of peace" which had
been signed at Versailles on February
%, 1871. Some matters of minor i'm
portance had not been settled at Yer
%sailles, which were reserved for the
"definitive treaty"
The ostensible cause of the Franco
Prussian war was the refusal of Prus-
STA to guarantee that a prince of the
house Of Hohenzollern should not be a
candidate for the Spanish throne. In
reality both Paris and Berlin were
only waiting for an excuse and Bis
marck was making every effort to
bring about a rupture. Official rela-
lions becoming strained and the Prus-
sian army having modified and APP
preached the French frontier. the EN-
peror Napoleon III declared war on
July 10, 1870, the chamber of deputies
having before that voted a war sup
ply and the reserves having been
called out. Prussia wal joined in the
war by the other German states and
the Teutonic armies had an unbroken
series Of victories that brought them
to Paris, which city surrendered on
January %, 1871.
Gravelotte was fought on August 1S

his army surrendered at Sedan on

peror and Theirs was at the head OF

deaux. the provisional French govern

The treaty Of Vienna, signed In 1854.
between Denmark on one side and
Austria and Prussia on the other, put
an end to the wal which the two latter
powers had been waging against the
former and tore the duchies Of Schles-
wig and Holstein from the Danish
crown. The revolutionary spirit which.
had swept Germany in 1S48 had grad
ually died away and a period Of re-
action had set In. Nowhere was the
reaction so strong as In Prussia. In
1857 Frederick William, under whom
Prussia had suffered so many humili-
atoms, became insane and his brother
William became first regent and, early
In 1861, king. He wa q Hohenzollern
of the true type, deeply imbued with
the spirit. Of militarism. Bismarck
had already made for himself a reputa-
ton as the exponent of force and the
new king employed him as just the
mar he wanted to work out his plans.
William proposed a great Increase In
the Prussian amy and navy, and when
the Prussian parliament rejected his
plans sent for Bismarck and, making
him minister-president, told him to
tame" the parliament. He tanned it,
or acted without it. as he pleased.
The German problem" he told
them, could not be solved by parli-
mentary DEGREES, but by blood and
iron" He forced bills through by en-
ploying every means in his power; he
instituted the army reforms; he
framed a trade treaty with France
which Austria declared u%nfriendly and,
upon Austria's protesting, he recog-
niZed the new kingdom of Italy. He
dispatched an ultimatum to the elector
of Hesse, which brought that poten-
tate to reason with regard to the af-
fairs of his electorate.

The beginning was made in the basement of the
Evanston Womans club. At first only lunch was
sold and buyers had to fetch and carry. Next IN

of hot food in containers.
There was a wild rush near lunch time on the
opening day by the housemaidless Evanston house

the kitchen, were kept busy for the best part of
three hours weighing cake and wrapping up slices

cloves and sugar, the Virginia way, you know

Gingerbread. Cookies. Cakes.

The proletar.at was not in evidence. The pre-

lined up in front of the kitchen and the beauty and

1t appears now that postmaster
general Burleson's controversy with
the Postal Telegraph Company may
be the occasion of his retirement from
the cabinet. Perhaps no member OF
the presidents cabinet, in the whole
history of the government, has been
so thoroughly incompetent to rightly
perform the duties of his office, as
Burleson. Charles j. Post, presi-
dent of the Publishers Advisory
Board, thus briefly summarizes Bur-
leson's incompetency: Whether the
postal service is good or bad is not
a matter of argument or of Mr. Bur
leson's personal opinion. The pub
lie knows from its own experience,
suffered day by day, from the camps
in France to the commerce of Frisco,
and is evidenced by the impartial in
vestigations and the resolutions of
the most reliable business organi-
zations of the country"

At meeting at Beaver Dam Sat

Daviess, Ohio, Butler and Warren
counties discussed the project for
building a federal post road from
greensboro to Bowling Green, it be-
came at once apparent that the road
would be built if Ohio county suppl
ed her part of the link. This road
would put Ohio county on the map
of good roads counties and would
add many thousands of dollars to the
value of Ohio county property. 1t
will require money to build the road
and our people must supply the mon
ey. 1t is not a gift, but an invest
ment. The road can be built only if
our business men and farmers along
the route win take hold of the en-
terprise and push it. A few men can
not build it. 1t will require all
hands and the cook. The spirit of
of our citizens is now on
trial as it was never tried before.

will put up sixty per cent of the cost
Are our people willing to build an
important post road at the trifling
expense of forty cents to the dollar?
We should be sorry indeed if they
will neglect such a golden opportun-
ity.
