The Triple Alliance

Two or three interesting things concern
ing the relations between England, Italy
and the triple alliance have come to the
surface within the past few days. 1t sp-
pears first that Italy has not yet renewed
the treaty with Germany and Austria, be-

herself. The triple alliance has
been an expensive bargain for Italy,
forcing her to impoyerish her treasury to
keep up the armament required by Its
terms, and giving her very little IN return,
not even proper protection to her long and
exposed coast line. Just now this il a
peculiarly sensitive point with Italy. be
cause of her anxiety lest France should
attempt to control the Mediterranean by
