Italy, and especially from France, seeliis to
indicate that public opinion in regard to the
Cyprus treaty is seriously affecting the pri-
Sate interests of these nations. On this sub

Britain said: "If France and Austria at the
end of the war, had declared themselves
ready to act together for the maintenance of
the integrity of Turkey, England would have
Joined them. Unfortunately, they could not,
or would not. Then England, from consid-
erations of superior interest, was obliged to
guarantee the Porte's Asiatic possessions.
Seizing the Dardaneiles would have wounded
the susceptibilities of Europej taking Egypt

strength is not regained, and his power of
| locomotion is small. His hands are helpless,
and he can only eat with assistance. His
| physicians, however, are confident of his re
! covery by the influence of time and exercise.
