Triple Alliance.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mass
achusetts, left Oyster Bay yesterday
morning for his summer home at Ma
liant, after having spent the night at
Sycamore Hill. He returned from Eu-
rope Saturday, and went to Oyster Bay
directly at the request Of the President.
"The President and / talked about
everything under the sum-" said Senator
Lodge upon leaving. 81 saw great
many officials while abroad, and found
this: France and Great Britain have
such thorough understanding now that
it practically amounts to an entente cor
dale. Those two powers are very close;
and, also, both of them have very
warm feeling for the United States,
More, cannot say"
The inference from the Senator's re-
marks and tone as he spoke WAS that a
very close entente between the United
States and Great Britain and France was
bound to come very soon.
"DO you think there will be an alii-
ance between the three nations?" he was
asked.
"Well, You know this country keeps
free of alliances" he said.
The natural conclusion was thai the
future entente will probably be an ALI
ance in everything but in name. Sena-
tor Lodge is a member of the committee
on foreign relations in the Senate and
is very close to the President.
There is reason to believe that Senator
Lodge has to some extent ascertained
what would be the attitude of France
and England to the far Eastern situation
should the peace negotiations fall
through. 1t is supposed that the Sena-
tor has also examined European opinion
upon our paternal relations to SantO
Domingo,
