prospects for a unanimous agreement did
not appcai very hopeful
In this hrticular instance, the question

consideration must not be minmizcd,
because tfcrc exist reasons for believing
that the bowers OF the Triple Alliance
are very anxious to obtain for their
protege obtain advantages as a lien OIL
her futurd fidelity. But things have gone
so far AMI the situation has become so
critical aIto make IT worth while giving
the clImhous mechanism OF the Euro
