The German army had not as yet ell

rendered. II was now insisted that if
France retained Belfort part of the
invading army should enter the French
capital. This demand was made sim

the Arch of Triumph. Theirs protest

Bismarck a chance to make friends

Prussia would march in. The affairs
of the "duchies" gave Bismarck an
other opportunity. The Danish gov
eminent had prepared constitution
for Schleswig which made that duchy
an integral part of the Danish king
dom, which was contrary to the last
Of the many settlements Of the
'Schleswig Holstein question" The
Germanic confederation refused TO

advances To Australia would en-

On January 10, 1864. Prussia and
Austria sent an ultimatum to Den

of Schleswig be withdrawn within two

pointed out that as the Danish parlia-

possible.

The treaty of Frankfort, which Off
clatly put an end to the FrancoPrus-
sian war, was but ratification of the
''prelminaries of peace" which had
been signed at Versailles on February
20. 1871. Some matters of minor i'm
portance had not been settled at Yer
sailles, which were reserved for the
"defnitive treaty"
The ostensible cause of the Franco
Prussian war was the refusal of Prus-
STA to guarantee that II prince of the
house of Hohenzollern should not be
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 rupture. Official rela-
tons becoming strained and the Prus-
sian army having modified and APP
