FAMOUS TREATIES OF PAST
By H. IRVING KING
PEACE OF TILSIT, 1807.
Napoleon, the Conqueror, Cut Up Europe to Suit Hla Neede.
The treaty of Tilsit signalized the
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;
he dictated the terras of peace. The
Russian array had bees thrown back
over the river Nlemen In the northeast
corner of Prussia. Napoleon went to
the town of Tilsit 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 a stately pavilion erected on a
gorgeously decorated raft anchored In
the middle of the river Alexander and
Napoleon met on June 25 and began
the drafting of a treaty between Rus
sia and France which was signed by
the two emperors on July 7. Russia
was given practically a free hand In
Turkey, allowed to seize, If she could,
the Danublan principalities, and, In
case Turkey did not assent to the
peace, to have all of Turkey In Eu
rope except Constantinople and Rou
mella. The two emperors also dis
cussed the fate of Prussia. Frederick
William begged the czar to make the
best terms he could for him.
What His Reason Disapproved.
Napoleon said to Alexander: “What
ever I grant to Prussia I grant at your
Intercession." adding that In that mat
ter his “heart caused him to seal what
hln reason disapproved.”
The best terms Czar Alexander
could get for his friend the Prussian
king, were these; All the lands that
Prussia had stolen In the partition of
Poland In 1793 and 1795 were taken
from her and erected Into the Grand
Duchy of Warsaw. 6U lndepe»dent
Polish state. Prussia ceded to Napo
leon all her territory west of the
Elbe, most of which was added to the
new kingdom of Westphalia, which was
constructed for Napoleon’s brother,
Jerome. A small portion of Prussian
territory was given to Russia and a
small portion to Saxony. King Fred
erick William was allowed to retain
only Old Prussia, Pomerania, Rrand
enhurg and Silesia. And even the lat
ter province had “a string to It,” for
the king of Saxony, to whom the
grand duchy of Warsaw wns as
signed, was to keep open a military
road across Silesia. Prussia was re
duced to half her former territory and
deprived of her most Important towns;
for Danzig became a free city and
Magdeburg went to Jerome Bonaparte.
Prussia was obliged to close her ports
against British commerce. A war In
demnity of a large amount for thtoe
days was Imposed on the Prussian na
tion, and she was allowed to keep a
standing army of no more than 42,000
men. She was reduced to a second
rate power.
Frederick William sent for his wife.
Queen Louise, In the hope that her
wit and beauty might Induce Napoleon
to recede somewhat from these hard
terms. But she was unsuccessful and
on July 9 the treaty between Prussia
and France was signed.
Hard as the conditions imposed on
Prussia were Napoleon had been too
lenient; for he left the bandit nation
still In existence, the Hohenzollerns
still on the throne, the germs of woes
unutterable to future generations. Aft
erwards, at St. Helena, Napoleon bit
terly regretted that "his heart had
sealed what his reason disapproved."
Regretted Qreat Haste.
•1 was In too great a hurry at Til
sit,” said he. “I should have remained
a year on the Niemen and In Prussia
and then devoured Prussia. I should
have deposed Frederick William and
Issued a proclamatioa declaring that
the house of Hohenzollern had ceased
to reign.”
Says Lord Rosebery: "It Is strsngt
Indeed to observe how heartily, as If
by a foreboding, he hates Prussia.”
Not strange at all, for his keen mind
In the retirement of St Helena saw
even more clearly than at Tilsit the
danger to the world of Prussinnlsm
under the lead of the robber barons
of Zollern.
Prussia Immediately after the treaty
of Tilsit began to circumvent the con
ditions with regard to her army by
Instituting short terms of enlistment
so arranged as to amount to universal
military service, and to prepare the
way for her future aggrandizement
One hundred and seven years from
the time she seemed utterly crusned
she attempted world empire-end
nearly “got away with It.”
By the treaty of Tilsit Czar Alexan
der agreed that If England did not
assent to the peace he should declare
war against her. If Sweden ob.ected
he was to send an army Into that
country.
Dig In, Not Out
The soldier whose specialty had
been sewer trenches for some months
past was found leaning on his s uvel.
“What are you dreaming about
now?” the noncom asked.
“I was Just thinking," responded
the shovel wlelder, “that If ilese
ditches were straight up and dov 4 in
stead of lengthwise, I’d have du- my
way back home long before th —
