FAMOUS PEACE TREATIES By H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF BASLE, 17e5.

By H. IRVING KING
1919. by the Mcclure News paper Syndicate.)

cluded at Basic, Switzerland, a treaty which was approved by the committee of public safety, of which Cambaceres was the head. The Jacobins obtecting, Cambaceres said: Do you wish per. petual war; If SO. can tell the peo- pie they are ruined by too many dem. agogues. We shall trace the natural limits of the republic. make sure of the rivers which. after watering sev. eral of our departments, flow to the sea; set limits to the countries now oc. cupied by our arms."
 The treaty was signed between Prus- sia and France at Basic on April 5, 1795. By this treaty the Rhine was made the eastern boundary of France until peace was concluded with the empire and line of demarcation fixed the neutrality of northern Germany. for which Prussia was to be respon- sible. By secret article 1t was agreed that if, at the conclusion of a general peace with the empire. France retained the left bank of the Rhine Prussia should receive territorial in. demnity for It's possessions there, the same to be taken from Austria or some other handy nation, and France would see that she got 1t.
 Treaty With Holland.
 In May treaty was concluded with Holland by which Dutch Flanders, Maestricht, Venloo and Flushing re- ceived French garrisona Holland paid an indemnity and gave up half her land and sea forces to France. On July p treaty with Spain was signed at Basic, by which all conquests in that country were abandoned. but Santo Domingo ceded to France. The little dauphin was dead in his prison, but the princess royal 1t was arranged to exchange for certain French officers. At first France demanded that Spain give her back Louisiana, but that claim was abandoned. A retrocesson was forced five years later, however.
 Prussia, Spain, the republics of Ge. noa and Venice, Holland, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, the Han seattle towns and Tuscany now fol- lowed the example of the United States in entering into peaceful relations with the French republic.

The fall of Robespierre in 1794 in- troduced more moderate and con- cniatory spirit into the councils of re- publican France, while at the same time the victorious campaigns of the French armies cooled the ardor with which the hostile princes who sur rounded the young republic had been prosecuting the war. The smaller Ger man princes were especially desirous of bringing such a ruinous war to an end. At diet of the empire it was declared that Germany had no inten- ton of interfering with the domestic affairs of France and negotiations looking to a satisfactory peace should be begun. Before this France had. since the revolution and the execution of the king, been an outlaw among Eu- ropean nations. In Italy the grand duke of Tuscany was already negotiat- ing with France for peace, being the first of the European rulers to recog- nize the French republic. Austria and England, however, declared that the war must go on. But Austria had al- most ceased fighting and the emperor retired to Vienna in Encouragement. The republican armies held Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine and had even made conquests beyond that river.
 Opened stronghoIds to French Forces.
 The prince of Orange fled to Eng land and the Dutch opened their strongholds to the French forces. Sa- voy and Nice were in the hands of France, and the Austrians in Piedmont were held in check by Bonaparte- whose military genius was now begin ming to be universally recognized and who had been promoted to be briga- dier general. /
 Spain, which had suffered many re- verses, many of her cities being in French hands, was only kept in the coalition by the desire of the king to safeguard the children of Louis XVI and the pressure of the British. Prus- sia was already negotiating with France. In the spring of 1795 Harden berg, on the part of Prussia and Bar thelemy, an experienced French dip lomat, on the part of the republic. con-

"If it hadn't been for what other

manager for White Sewing Machine

Il suffered from a long-standing
and stubborn case of stomach trouble"
he continued. "My stomach was near

end Of misery, and l had to quit eating
most everything but broth and other
light diet. l had such an awful pain
in my right side that couldn't stand

You can get all you paid in and all
the interest it has earned while it is
growing for you, and the ten days

You can't just rush out to spend your

War Savings Stamp. You have got
time to think before you can spend it,
and if you think before you spend YOU
probably will not spend that w. S. S.
money foolishly, but will spend it Tor
something worth while. In other
words, it is not merley growing money
it is also money with the magic pow
err of helping you to get you: moneys
worth-money tied up just enough to

ings Stamps is your own string-the
string that keeps your wallet closed

IHE VICTORY LOAN.

The Fifth, or Victory Bond drive,
will open April Fl, and close May 10.
The bonds will draw an interest Of
"a per cent, payable semi-annually,
and dating from May 20, 1919. They
will run for period Of four years, bus
the Government reserves the right to
redeem them after three years.
In this drive, as in previous drives,
The Eagle will devote much space to
the interest Of the Government. We
feel that it is the duty OF the press to
render all assistance possible in this
drive, and we shall be on the job.
AS business proposition, the people
of Lafayette county hould subscribe
the full quota on April the oath. We
say this because many people have
money deposited in banks that is only
drawing 4 per cent. interest. They
can make their money earn 3-4 pei
cent, and as a business proposition
they should snap this opportunity t.
make their money earn them more
money.
AS safe investment, there are none
safer than Government Bonds. 1t il
very likely that this will be the las
opportunity the common people vii
have to invest their small cash in Gov
ernment securities.
