PRESS ExToLs TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Thirtieth Anniversary of the Pact
ELECTS Comments in Germany.

Berlin, German, Oct. 9.-The Ger
man press Thursday celebrated the
thirtieth birthday anniversary OF the
triple alliance. All the writer's con-
graduate the countries concerned
Germany, Austria-Hunga gary and Italy
declaring that the compact has been
the means of preserving the peace of
Europe. 1t is admitted, however,
that the weak point in the alliance is
Italy, the people of which are OF diff
ferent rece from those of Germany
and Austria Antagonistic interests
they say, may induce Italy to quit the
alliance, but they maintain that the
southern kingdom will be extremely
unwise if it does so, since it derives
its national security from the agree
ment and owes its recent economic de
velopment to it. Almost all the artl-
cles on the subject close with an APP
peal to the allies to keep their swords
sharp.

tation that a large portion OF Helen
