Should all negotiations fail in the italO- German

advo cate his aims on Englands refusal TO submit
the then existing differences OF 1868 TO congress,
by which she had been instrumental in throwing
Europe into chaotic disorder, which kings and peo-

profit.
The plans which he is supposed to be inclined to
submit to England involve changes o.; surprising

Channel Islands TO France Guernsey jersey, Al

Gibraltar to Spain, which would cost England but

FINANCIAL RUIN OF TIE PEOPLE IN PROSPECT

The Prussian people, however, appear to
