Of arms to preserve the peace of the

A new triple alliance, between the
Teutonic race and the two great
branches of the Anglo-SaxOns would,
said the Colonial Secretary. be a potent
influence in the future of the world.
The speaker explained that he used the
word alliance" but it mattered little
whether they had an alliance committed
to paper or AN understanding which
existed in the minds of the statesmen OF
the respective countries.
A determination in every case to
look for favorable motives upon the
part of those with whom friendship
was desired would be an enormous adj
vantage to both the nations concerned
and others.
