TREATY OF FRANKFORT, 1871.

France retained Belfort n part of the
invading army should enter the French
capital. This demand was made sim.
ply for the purpose of theatrical ef-
feet. The world must see the Ger
man kaiser leading his legions through
the Arch of Triumph. Theirs protest
ed that this would only cause irrta-
tion and effect nothing. Bismarck In
sisted, the emperor William made a
point of 1t, and so 10000 German
troops marched under the great tri-
umphal arch of Napoleon 1 and occu,
pied for two days the Champs
Elysees.
1t was calculated that II would take
ten years for France to pay off the
indemnity and the German troops were
to be withdrawn gradually as its in.
stallments were paid. All the expenses
of the army of occupation were in the
meantime, to be paid by France. When
the terms of this treaty were present
! ed to the national assembly sitting at
Bordeaux the members from Alsace
Lorraine lodged a solemn protest
against their expatriation and some OF
the. more radical members resigned
their seats rather than confirm the
treaty. The treaty was confirmed by
the assembly on March 2 and the defln.

The Colorado statesman., 1919-07-12

The treaty of Frankfort. which Off
ciaIIy put an end to the Franco-Prus-
sian war. was but ratification of the
"preliminaries of pence" which had
been signed at Versailles on February
?6 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-
sia to guarantee that prince or the
house of HohenZollern should not be
candidate for the Spanish throne. In
reality both Paris and Berlin were
only Whiting for an excuse and Bis
marck was making every effort to
bring about rupture. Official rela-
tions becoming strained and the Prus-
sian army having mobilized and ap-
preached the French frontier, the Em-
peror Napoleon III declared war on
July 10, 1870, the chamber of deputies
having before that voted war sup

called out. Prussia was Joined In the

They appear this summer in all sorts
of fabrics for nearly all sorts of occa-
slons. Starting out as purely practical

into the more practical of dressy after

the smartest of sport wear. The ad-
vent of new weaves in silk boosted the
cause of the separate skirt along. and
now no fabric is too sheer and dainty
TO make the dressiest of these conven-

seem to multiply and the separate
