defeat Of the fourth coalition against
France, which consisted OF Russia,
Prussia, Austria. England and Swe-
den. Napoleon had won the battles Of
Jena, Auerstadt, Eylau and Frledland; /;
all continental Europe was at his feet !;
ne dictated the terms OF peace. The
Russian army had been thrown back
over the river Niemen In the northeast
corner Of Prussia. Napoleon went 10
the town Of Tllsit on that river and
opened negotiations with Emperor
Alexander. The king OF Prussia, whose
domains were entirely in the grasp Of
the conqueror. came TO Tilsit but was
allowed no part in the negotiations.
In n stately pavilion erected on
gorgeously decorated raft anchored In
the middle OF the river Alexander and
Napoleon met on June % and began
the drafting OF treaty between Rus
sia and France which was signed by
the two emperors on July Z. Russia
was given practically free hand In
Turkey. allowed 10 seize, II she could,
the Danubian principalitIes, and, In
case Turkey did not assent 10 the
peace, TO have all OF Turkey In Eu-
rope except Constnntlnople and Rou-
mella. The two emperors also dis
cussed the fate OF Prussia. Frederick
william begged the czar 10 make the
best terms he could for him.
What His Reason Disapproved.
Napoleon said 10 Alexander: "What-
ever grant 90 Prussia | grant NJ your
intercesslon." adding that IN that mat
ter his heart caused him to seal what
his reason dlsapproved."
The best terms Car Alexander
could get for his friend the Prusslan
king, were these: All the lands that
Prussia had stolen IN the partition OF
Poland in 1903 and 1895 were taken
from her and erected into the Grand
Duchy Of Warsaw. m independent
