lie accoiiipanving picture dates
back to May 10, 1871, and portrays
Bismarck in the conquered city of
Versailles, dictating the terms of
peace which concluded the Franco
Prussian war.
The picture rom which this print
was made belongs to Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. H. Thompson, 717 South
Eighteenth street, who came to this
country in 1S74 from the Dutcliy of
Schlcswig to escape the oppression
which' Germany was enforcing upon
that little band of people, the land
which she had forcibly wrested from
Denmark in 1848.
The picture hangs in one of the
great galleries of Berlin and has
been revered by the German people
for year?.
Standing in the right of the picture
is Chancellor Bismarck, dictating in
cold-blooded deliberation the most
harsh terms of peace which were
ever enforced upon a conquered na
tion in civilized times.
At the left and seated in front of
the Table is Monsieur Thiers. In
.the center at the rear, is Monsieur
Favre, the two French commission
ers to whom Bismarck is haughtily
dictating the terms which he intends
Funeral of Charles Simms
Held Here Wednesday
The funeral of Charles F. Simms,
was held Wednesday afternoon in
the First Presbyterian church, 114
der the management of the Masons
and Shriners' lodges, of which he
was a member.
For two and a-half years Mr.
Simms had been manager of the John
Manville company of this city, ind
was manager of the branch in Salt
Lake City before coining here, his
service with the company dating
back 30 years. He was 51 years old
at the time of his death, and made
his home in the Hunter Inn.-
like all true Frenchmen, he iramed
of the time when France should be
able to say "vengeance is mine."
It comes as a fitting climax to the
great war, which for four years just
passed has again been waged by the
oppressive hand of Prussianism, that
just as. autocracy is making its last
struggle under the strangle hold of
democracy, and German envoys are
seeking the headquarters of their
once vanquished foe under the white
flag of truce, a headquarters pre
sided over bv the once humble
lieutenant, no commander of the 1 m
to impose upon the prostrate nation
and to whom he is making 11 clear
that it is his purpose to utterly
crush the French nation beyond all
hope of recovery.
j I he surrender ot Alsace and Lor
; raine, and the payment of 5,000,000,-
000 trancs to tnc uerman govern
ment, with the provision that-the
conquering army should continue to
occupy the invaded territory until
the last franc should be paid in full
were the terms imposed.
If Bismarck, thouglt he had
crushed his enemy, he "reckoned
without his host," for with the sign
ing ,f the treaty of Frai.kfoit, two
great nations were born
Napoleon, III, was forced to ab
dicate his throne and the French
republic was established and the
North German Federation gave way
V. lne ' !! e , uerma: . r-"'I)lre justice to all mankind
Chancellor Bismarck raised to the
rank of prince.
Quietly, but systematically, the
French republic set about to rebuild
its devastated ruins and to recon
struct its government upon the firm
principles of democracy, while the
German empire, encouraged by a
series of Successful wars based upon
the motto of the "iron handed" Bis
marck that "might makes right." set
out to build up a mighty military
machine which should tintimately
rule the world.
Ferdinand F'och was a lieutenant
in the army destroyed by the arms
of Prussia. He saw all the glory
with which the German people be
decked the Strassburg statute, and
entire allied armies, that the German
emperor, whose position was creat
ed at Versailles in 1871 is forced to
abdicate his1 throne, and to surrend
er, not to a bloody hand of tyranny,
but to an allied force which repre
sents the principles of right and

very costly, but we have a small
canteen in our camp where we can
buy chocolate for 10 cents a bar,
cigarettes are 15 cents a package,
and sweet cookies are 20 cents a
package.
"The people of France are real
good to us and we get all the grapes
and wine that we desire, Wat I have
no desire for the beverage as I have
seen how it is mace and the less I
drink of it ti e better off I will be.
"The weather is still warm over
here, but we- have beer, issued our
