THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. AND OTHERS.

Prince Bismarck's latest disclosure Is con-
firmed. as the well Informed supposed it would
be. There was never any reason for doubling
It's truth, certainly not In the minds of those
who are acquainted with Prince Bismarck's
cynical methods. and who remember his per
sistent hostility to Great Britain and his
equally persistent friendliness to Russia. There
was at first a pitifully lame attempt to make
II appear that the secret treaty in question was
only an ancient Prusso- Russian affair, which.
though long obsolete. had not yet been formally
abrogated Even this prctence is now aban
dOnrd. and IL is acknowledged that the treaty
was lust what Prince Bismarck's organ repre-
sented it, 1t was a new, special treaty between
Germany and Russia. providing for mutual aid
and defence in case of war. and ii was made at
n time when Germany already had similar
treaty with Austria Hungary: 80 that at one
and the same time Germany was pledged 10 aid
Austria Hungary against Russia and to aid
Russia against Austria Hungary. No wonder
that the disclosure Of such dOubc-dealing ere

for that versatile and energetic young man.
There will be no use in pleading. as has been
vainly done in some quarters, that this treaty
antedated the Triple Alliance since the latter
was not formally constituted until 1887. while
the former was made in 1894. Technically. that
NAV be true But il Is also true that the Triple
Alliance was practically formed before the Rus
sian treaty, and which Is most OF all to the
point. that the alliance between Germany and
Austria Hungary. the basis and origin Of the
Triple Alliance. was formally concluded long
before, and publicly proclaimed a year before.

a personal alliance was formed by the German
Emperor and the Emperors Of Russia and
Austria Hungary. In 1878 Russia became es-
tranged from Germany and practically with
drew from the league. In the next year. 1879,
a close offensive and defensive alliance was
formed between Germany and Austria-H Hun
