Germany Is Egging on Italy to

ward France.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Aug. 25.-Premier Crispi's
interviews with Prince Bismarck and
Count Kalnoky surpass in Importance
the interviews between the car and
Emperor William. The league against
France has been very materially
strengthened, and there is now no doubt
that Prince Bismarck is encouraging
Italy to the adoption and pursuit of an
aggressive policy. Italy is, of course. a
mere cats-paw in the hand of Germany,
fact which Premier Crispi cannot fail
to realize, but the advantages offered to
her by her allies are too alluring to be
ignored, and she will doubtless have
very little hesitation in bringing about
the conflict Germany desires but dares
not precipitate herself.
