TRIPLE ALLIANCE HISTORY.

The inside history of the Triple
Alliance which is given by n French
writer who was counselor ut the Rus.
sian embassy in Paris when Baron
Mollrenheim was ambassador is not
new except Is so far as 1t involves
Great Britain. According to this au-
thor, the British Government limited
itself to declaring that, In the event
of war between Russia and Austria
or between France and Italy, it was
very probable that Great Britain
would intervene against Russia In the
one case and against France in the
other This pact, If It can be so call.
ed. existed up to five years ago.
1t will be recalled that cordial re-
lations were developing very rapidly
between Great Britain and France
about five years ago. They resulted
in the settlement of several old con.
troyersles and in the adoption of a
treaty of arbitration, which greatly
stirred Germany. That, of cour.,a,
put all end to any relations, however,
slight, which Great Britain may have
had with the Triple Alliance. 1t is
also to be noted that by 1902 the
alliance Between France and Russia
was firmly established, In spite of all
that Germany could do to block its
contamination. Since 1902 the world
has read Of arbitration treaties he
tween France and Great Britain and
Italy and the establishment of very
cordial relations between Great Brit.
ain and Russia. The friendliness he.
tween France and Italy was particu.
larly Objectionable to Germany and

In view Of events since 1902. the
disclosures which this French writer
makes are not likely to cause much
discussion inEarope-at least of a
serious nature. Germany's aim has

FRANCES part in the political game
Great Brltain's declaration to the
members of the Triple Alliance was
important In a way, but there was
absolutely nothing binding in it and
therefore, 1t could not be relied upon
IL is noteworthy. however, that Ger.
many did not enter into England's
calculations at all.
