The famous Peace of Cambria,
known as THE Ladies' Peace" because
negotiated by two women, was signed
in 1920 at a town famous in the an
nails of the recent war, and put an
end to another 'World war; which,
with an interlniSsion Of 10 months,
had been ravaging Europe for eigil:
wears and involved all the principal
nations of Christendom. By the end
of 1923 1t was felt that Europe was
c~xhausting itself in indeclsive war
fare. The French army in the king
dom of Naples was wasting Itself IN
inconclusiye engagements. The vast
cmnlre of Charles V felt the strain
of the prolonged conflict and only the
geld ard silver which were beginning
TO flow in from America saved it from
financial collapse. On all sides there
was a desire for peace.
In June of 1929 peace was %conclud-
cd between the pope and the emperor
Of Barcelona and it vas suggested
that delegates be appointed to try ana
bring about Il peace between the two
great heads OF the war, the emperor
ypd the king of France. King Fran
els appointed his mother, Louise or
Savoy, and the emperor appointed his
aunt, Margaret of Austria. 1t will he
seen that the recent appointment OF

THE PEACE OF CAMBRIA QHE LADIES' PEAcE) 1852
TWO Women Worked to Bring Peace to a warweary World.

more productive of rows and rue
tons than Of q world peace. But
such was not the case. The two ladies
agreed to meet at Cambria in the lat
ter part of June. They hired adioir-
ing houses and secretly had a pas
q Z constructed between them.
There were Il lot Of other delegates
and Representatives Of various nations
gathered at Cambria, Of course, and
according to the customs Of those days
a lot Of squabbling over who should
walk first, or ride first, or call first,
went on, together with attempts at
sharp political tricks-all this with
Teasing and ~pageants. The two
ladies attended strictly to business,
unsupported by the others and accred-
tied with full powers by the emperor
and the king.
They Signed a Treaty Of Peace.
After a month of comforting, dur
ing which they passed many times q
day through that secret passage Of
theirs, they announced to an aston
ished world on August 5 that they had
signed q treaty Of peace between
Francis l and Charles V. The Italian
princes who were vitality interested,
complained that they had not been
consulted and Henry VIII swore q
string of his favOrite oaths that SO
little attention had been paid to him,
But the thing was done. The ladies
bad arranged the peace on the prin'
ciple of give and take" act
ing frankly and dealing squarely
with each other. The treaty was q
good one-though Venice was rather
hardly used and territories disposed
Of without the consent of their rulers
or their p~eople-and it brought peace
for 4 few years at least, to a war
weary world.

ing condition TO make a good showing

the train two nights Pal would be all
in for his go with Herman, so 1t was
decided to postpone the Roy Moore

Pals appearance here with Herman
on March "a will be his final boxing
show before he returns to London to
meet Jimmy Wilde, the British fly
weight, who bowed to Pal in a three
round affair during the kings trophy

been matched with Wilde as yet, but
negotiations for the go have progressed
to such an extent that it is an assured
fact that the bout will be staged in
London some time during the summer.
According to present plans, Moore and
Wilde will travel 20 rounds. Pal has
asked for SIS, 900 as his share Of the
purse and the London promoters think
the demand is ex~tortionate, which has
