In all the great surrenders of modern history, a defeated nation has had to pay a price for its folly or ill fortune. In the dynastic wars of the Eighteenth Century such payments were insignifi- cant. War bad become a princely game, condeeted by small and highly trained armies, and the gamesters were content with modest stakes. Eut Napoleon the Great, the first commander of a nation in arras which had to live on the enemy's country, exacted indemnities ous of all proportion to anything of the kind in previous wars. He was in fact compelled to do so to help pay for the cost of his grandiose military adventures. The Peaco of Tilsit (1907) was the meat ignominious surrender Prussia had erer experienced. The crushing defents at Jera and Aborstadt, followed by disgraceful capitulations of troops and fortresses loft Frederick William III, at the mercy of the greatest world-con- queror since Aleander the Great Half bis kingdom was taken away, and a war indemnity of £40,000,000 wAR CX- acted. How the War of Liberation was worked for by Stiin and Hardenberg is a familiar story. The Prussian habit of orading a promise was exemplified in the reorganisation of the Prussia army by Scharnhorst and Gneisers, when the condition imposed by Napoleon, that it should not exceed 42,000 men, was evaded by rapiscing each body of men by another as soon as it had been 1 be trained. (It will be necessary for the Allies to watch the working out of the armistics conditions very carefully, for all through history the German has bean actorious for breaking the most solemn promises.) Between 1813 and the Battle of Waterloo Prussia lost 130,000 men and strained her financial Tasources to the utmost, and she could never have succeded in throwing of the Napoleonic yoke but for the silent, iavisible, ubiquitous help of Britisk sea-power the determining factor in the final stages of the world-struggle, though no great res battle was fought after Trafalger.
