With thankfulness and rejoicing in their hearts the American people lift their voices with the voices of the peoples of the Allied Nations in one vast paean of triumph. Problems and responsibilities of the final peace settlement lie ahead. They will be met in the same high spirit and purpose that have carried the great fight for freedom and justice to its glorious conclu- sion. For the moment, however, the Nation can only give itself up to the joy of the victory. It will be the greatest Thanksgiving in the his- tory of the world. ESE ALL-AMERICAN.

And Austria and Prussia proceeded to share the Schleswig-Hol.. stein duchies between them as spoils of war. “This was highway robbery, pure and simple,” says one histortar “and, for the time, Bismarck was the best-hated man in Europe, But by dragging Austria into the affair he succeeded in sharing the blame, This being assured, he pre- » The Wily Biemarckf pared to rob Austria of the profits of the war.” chaos Blame. ne Then, as now, you sce, Austria was Prussia’ dupe.

Yn June, 1866, the Prussians fell upon the Austrians in Holstein and drove them vut. Austria was unprepared for war, but allied herself with Saxony and sought to defend the threatened duchies. ‘The conflict which followed is known as “The Seven Weeks’ War.” In ‘*" one whirlwind campaign, Prussia beat Austria to her knees. ‘The crown ing blow was struck at Koentggratz on July 3, 1866, when Austria was overwhelmingly defeated, and was forced to sue for peace.
