763 - L. Feb. 5; ed:2/1 - "There is a logic of events by which nations
are set adrift toward results which they scarcely anticipate. Cabinets
and Parliaments, Congresses and Secretaries assume high moral ground, and
being unable to retreat from their positions without dishonor, the con-
sequence is, they are precipitated into a fearful struggle.
"We hope to be disappointed, but it scarcely seems possible now for
the calamity of a European War to be averted. The nations are all
silently drifting toward the dreaded result." (18)

764 - L. Mar. 11; ed:2/2 - Austrians and Prussians with bold leadership
in the Denmark war force the Danes out of Schleswig and Holstein and
even invade north into Denmark.
The English government calls a peace conference. "It is certainly
the part of wisdom for England to adopt this method of getting out of
difficulty in which she becomes involved. It would be a rash commit-
ment of herself to the support of tie Danes." (12)

765 - L July 14; ed: 2/1 - When time London conference, which assembled
to make harmony between Germany and Denmark, adjourned, the English
press was in favor of war against Germany and favoring Denmark. From
the beginning of the German war, the English government has threatened
until time for action; then it has backed down. "England is right in
trying to avoid war, as she would expose her merchantmen to droves of
Alabamas, but her cowardice is subject for laughter and disgust." - (5)

766 - L. Aug. 10; ed: 2/2 - "The most engrossing subject of comment in
Europe at the present time, is the Congress just assembled at Vienna,
with a view to a peaceable settlement of the Dano-German difficulties.
"If Denmark consents to a union with German states, she becomes the
northern outlet for the commerce of fifty million people. She has a
mighty people to sustain her, and hope of distinct nationality.
"The problem grows more interesting and important." (5)

even though Germany with the aid of Austria and Prussia won." (4)
