THE League of Nations^ now accepted as a practical inliVnational sclierne le- calls a somewhat fanlastic siuiilitude known as the "Grand De- Hisn" ot Henry IV. of Fiance, pio- roseil about 1601. Many are pron.- at the advent of apparently new (conomlc or political Bchenies to hunt for precedents. Shakespeare alludes to "The juBlice, full of wise saws and modern instances." Maximilien de Bethune .Sully i-i known lo the schoolboy as the great minister of that greatest King of the BsurbonR, Ihe "Plumed Knight," who thought "Paris well worth a mass'' and professed to become a Roman Catholic to reign. Sully wrought exceeding well, financially and otherwise, and France prospered. He left his "Memoirs," accessible in the Bohn Library of 1856, liavin? prefixed to an English translation in Introduction, "attributed" to Sir Walter Scott. In Chapter xxx of these "Memoirs" is the sole original out- line of the "Grand Design" of his patron. The Encyclopedia Biitannica inclines toward the skeptical notion of one group of the auihenlicity of the "Design" and specifically pro- nounces as fiction the story of his own mission to Queen Elizabeth and obtaining her endorsement. The International Encyclopedia only notes that the genuineness of tho "Design" has been subject of contro- versy. It has become, however, the view of the best of students that Henry the Fourth cherished the scheme Sully describes, thouah his minister has interpolated ideas of his own. It would tire the busy reader to pursue the minute history of these medieval days, but keeping; in mind the main purpose of discovering some parallels that may interest, sentences may be quoted tluU niust strike all as curiously similar to the lexts anil the line of argument read in these very present days. Yet the e<itiro "Design" is an antithesis. Succinctly, the "Dosign" was to deprive the House of Hiip.'=burg of its expansive autocracy, to divide Europe equally among a certain number of powers, so that none might have cause of envy or fear from Ihe possessions or power of the others. The number was reduced lo 13, of these three kinds; six heridi- tary monarchies, five elective, and four sovereign republics. The six were France, Spain, Dritaln. Den- mark, Sweden and l.ombardy. The elective were Ihe Pontificate, the em- pire, Poland. Hiiniiary and noheniia. The republics were riwilzerland, Bel- gic, Venetian. Italian-Genoa, etc. The laws and ordinances thai would cement all these princes into a union, a European federation, into a bar- many of religion and polity, with mutual assurance of freedom of coni- mer< t were to have any difllciilties ot operation submitted to a General Council, representing all the slates. and which Sully terms the "happiest invention" which could have been introduced. The model ot this coun- cil was the Amphictyonie Council of the ancient Greeks, of which scarcely more is known than of this (ireat De- sign. lliough Its religious, and later political, pnv.'eis are known and Its foril;alion of two delegates from each of the twelve tribes. Sully bcRins his description of the "Dcsinn" by noting the devaslaling wars that territorial envy and relig- ious cioeds have iiiciled. .Austria could not resist ihe new "Design" with all other countries leagu-^l - against her. The plan of Henry IV was not lo atijjiiieMl Finnce but to convince bis neighbors that both he uiul tl'.ey could be saved iiniuense sums which Ihe niaintenanee of iit many llioiisalid soldiers, so wiany for- tilied places retitiU'eil, and that Kii- ropo could be freed forever from those bloody eatastrophies so com- mon, enjoy uninterrupted repose, and unlio in an indissoluble bond of seoiirily and friendship. Then be attacks the religious phase of Ihe "Design" and beconus n.iiv.- in his intoleranci-. Hi- would periiiil only ihe three creeds thin privalent an, I dominani in ie.spectl>e i<r,;ii;r;os.

The King of l''rance is to furnish 20,000 fool, 4,000 horse. 20 cannon and 10 gal- b'ys; and each signatory has its al- lowed quota Sully observes: ."This armainent of Ihe states of Europe appears inconsiderable and so lillle bunlensome, when ciiinpaied will the forces they u.snally kept on tpot lo ;iwe Iheir neighbois or their own subjecis, thai Wire it lo subsist pei- iH'iually il would not cause any in- convenience, and would be a a excel- lent iiiili'.ary aeademy.
