Walk a Little Farther Save a Little More The London Protocol must be re. spected. Why? Are protocols things so absolute and supreme that we must pour out the blood of our sons to de- fend them? Ah, yes, there comes 1.1 the mysterious “reason of State. ” The gentlemen around the green diplo- matic table are all wise, and they know how to bring about the greatest security of national supremacy. 01’ course. the London Protocol of 1852 must be uphe?d and the constitutional decree of (:op'enhagen of 1863 must be revoked within twenty-four hours.

The birth of our little child was hourly expected, and it was as if we both awaited death upon our farewell. We were overwhelmed with the magnitude of the approaching evils. To us it was neither patriotic nor heroic to heip hew down the Danes. and in case our parting was for ever, what excuse of state could reconcile us to this terrible sacrifice? To de- fend the common cause of humanity might be ustified, but to rush into battle with a distant country, throw:- iug away life; and home, and family, because of the mere pledge of princes ”it was too infamous! Why must Austrian soldiers leave home to help set this petty prince on his petty throne? Why" Why? How treasbu- able and blasphemous to ask such a question of Emperor and Pope! Neither would or could answer. On April 14 the last stronghold was taken, and immediately a peace con- ference assembled in London. Every one .was overjoyed and relieved, save, perhaps, some of my husband’s com- rades, who had hoped to share the glory. Their wives thought it bad luck.
