He was William, second son of King Frederick William UL of Prussia, Careful training changed the invalid child into a healthy, muscular youth with a genius for war, He grew up during the Napoleonic campaigns, and took the field {n 1813, when only sixteen years old e same year he | was promoted to a captaincy and at seventeen won the coveted Iron Cross j for bravery in battle. He was a major-general at twenty-one, and for the as hard and carefully as though he were learning law or medicine. He ‘was to have need, one das, for all he coala thus learn In 1840 his elder brother, Frederick, came to the Prussian throne. Eight years later there Was a second revolution in France and its example fired Prussia to imitation. Mobs swarmed through the streets of Berlin, .the whole land was convulsed and timid men feared lest the horrors of the first French Revolution were about to be re-enacted in Germany. ‘William, as his childless brother's heir presumptive, adopted a wise middle course be- tween two conflicting Prussian parties. Asa result he found himself so bit- terly hated by both sides that he was obliged to leave home and live for time in England. But he came back the same year and at the head of bis army put down rebellions that were springing up In the grand duchy of Baden and elsewhere. Frederick's mind broke down some time after this and William was made regent. On Frederick's death in 1861 he succeeded him as King of Prassia. His real career was beginning Prussia had risen to splendid heights a century earlier, but the Napol- conic wars and other misfo es had bygthis time reduced it in power until merely one of the more insignificant many little Independent kingdoms and next nine years studied warfa A Dream of Power principalities that made up Germany. Wiliam and Empire resolved to change all this. He already had i ? dreams of one great, united German nation | with Prussia as its foremost State and himself as Its ruler. He laid his plans at once by demanding sweeping military re- forms anc larger, stronger army. His thrifty Parliament saw no use tn such a vast expenditure of money, and refused. But William carried the measure throu nd thus took his first step toward supremacy. The sec- J ond move in th of empire was already at hand. Austria, “the bully of E powerful in Germany, There was not room enough in the r two such mighty Jnfluences as Austria's and William's. One of th st go under \ The success of Willlam's projects depended on his destroying Austrian j power In Germany. This would not only rid him of a dangerous rival, buty | would give Prussia an added prestige with the other German States, some gf; which were already inclining toward thetr sister-kingdom's cause Mean‘ et Austria could be made very useful. For instance, the rich Danish du of Schleswig and Holstein would be a tremendous addition to Prussian { tory. By rare diplomacy Austria in 1863 was induced to jotn with P: in resting these duchtes from the feebler grasp of Denmark. [t was"2t!® agreed that Prussia should take over the affairs of Schleswig, leaving tha” of Holstein to her ally, Austria. But this did not suit William's plang. Hays. ing secured Austria's aid in winning the two fat provinces he had no idew of sharing the fruits of victory with his colleague So in 1866 the old-time rivals clashed at last. Prussia had been carefully preparing for the conflict. Austria, seemingly, bad expected nothing of the sort. William's plans were carried through without a bitch, Austria found herself compelled to fight Her General, Benedek, with 230,000 men, met the Prussians in battle at Koniggratz July 3, 1866. At the close of the day, the Ausirian army was completely smashed and demoralized. Holstein went to the queror. Austria's power in Germany was forever lost. Prussia had fought and won hér Way to the head of the German kingdoms. The first half | of Willlam’s life aribition was fulfilled. Now came the second and greater part e ‘hies France was Prussia’s hereditary foe. Napoleon had humiliated Will- | jam’s parents and battered bis country to earth. Bonaparte’s nephew, Napoleon IIL, sat on the throne of France A ible result could be gained by war with Vengeance and France. Not only could Prussia be avenged, the Triumph. but the other German States (drawn into the t { contest by William) could the more readily be / induced to unite, after the victory, as one na- | Hon. The Franco-Prussian war will be more fully described in a later arti- |cle. It is enough here to say that Willlam won an overwhelming victory and on Jan. 18, 1871 was crowned Emperor of United Germany.
