one OF the leading German papers

strength of the official statistics which

II stands TO reason that the prince

one may be tempted to ask. what has
become of the triple entente between

by Germany, Austria and Italy? The
fact that these two coalitions of great

exist by the detection of Russia, the
situation has. indeed, undergone re-
