II UNLESS all signs fail, the triple
II alliance - consisting of Ger
~ many, Austria-H Hungary and
Italy-will break up before another
year. The seeds of dissension sown by
Germany, probably for purpose, have
ripened into a harvest of hate on the
part of Bohemia and other Austrian
provinces. The. German authorities
have recently been engaged in the
wholesale expulsion of foreigners
Danes have been compelled to leave
North Schleswig, and Bohemian and
Polish laborers were forced out Of Sax
cny and other provinces.
The Danish government lodged q
formal protest with the foreign Office
Mt Berlin against the outrageous rul-
ing enforced against it's citizens living
on German soil; but Count Won Thun-
Hohenstein, the Austria Hungarian
premier, went further and declared
openly that Austria would defend her
subjects, with every possible emphasis,
und adopt policy of reprisais against
Germans in Austria. This forcible dec
lpra ton was received with unbounded
enthusiasm throughout the dual en-
pire; and the leading semi-ofllcial pa.
pers of Vienna frankly remarked that
the action of the German government
was conceivable only on the assump-
tion that 1t was intended to prepare the
world for the termination of the triple

Etrated against such an Interpretation
