The Triple Alliance
Germany. Austria and Italy Joined In
Strong Bond For Offensive
and Defensive War

France and not Russia. Yet under
the terms of the alliance, Austria was
bound only to preserve state Of
friendly neutrality should Germany be
attacked by France. To protect the
interests OF Germany Bismarck ar
ranged In 1887 neutrality treaty with
Russia. which was Cancelled, however,
few years later by hts successor.
Caprivi.
Italy Versus France
Italy entered the triple alliance In
1882, soon after the French invasion
OF Tunis had reused the Italian people
to point of wrath and bitterness
which for the moment quite extinguish-
ed all ancient grudges toward Austria
and even temporarily quieted the agi-
tation for the redemption" of the
Trentino and Triest
This Italian bitterness toward France
lasted until 1899. In its fiercest mo-
ments 1t provoked tariff war which
cost Italy many millions. The military
expenditures necessary to keep Italy
up to her engagements with her allies
cost still more. AS for TuDis, 1t re-
manned French, and In 1899 and 1902
France and Italy recognized France In
Tunis and Morocco as We'll France
agreed TO an ultimate Italian protec-
torate In Tripoh.
With these treaties the Italian entbu-
siasm for the Austro-GermaD alliance
cooled visibly. The Italian desire TO
include in the kingdom the Italian
speaking territories Of Austria reassert-
ed itself. Finally the Austrian annex
alton of Bosnia and Herzegovina
brought Italy face to face with the
possibility of future Austrian expan-
sion along the Adriatic in Albania, and
the increasing strength of the Austrian
fleet raised questions, concerning the
mastery of the Adriatic which pro-
foundly stirred the whole nation.
ltaly's Army Divided.
With the Tripolitan expedition the
last sentimental connection with Ber-
lin and Vienna vanished, If any still
survived. From Berlin came a denun-
citation of Italian aggression which
fairly astounded the Italians. While

and even with certain measure of
sympathy Italian expansion. which
French agreements had legalized, Ger
man newspapers denounced Italy as
worthless and perfidious ally and gave
ready currency TO reports Of the brutal.
ity OF Italian troops.
To all these sources of Italian bit
terness there is now added the serious
change In conditions the Tripolitan an
nexation has brought. Henceforth for
many years large Italian army will
have to be kept in Tripoli. But in the
event Of a war between the triple alli-
ance and the triple entente British and
French fleets would command the com
munication with the Italian peninsula.

would be able 70 invade Tripoli itself.

"HE triple alliance at present ex-
listing between Germany, Aus
tria- Hungary and Italy was
originally formed on May 20,
1882. and renewed from time TO time,
the last time on Dec. Z. 1912. 1t was
the browning masterpiece and, next to
the unification of Germany, the great
est diplomatic achievement OF Prince
Bismarck. Germany's great Iron chan
cellor" 1t was really the outgrowth Of
the dual alliance between Germany
and Austria concluded on Oct Z, 1870.
and signed at Vienna by Count Andras-
sy, then Austro-Hungarian minister OF
foreign affairs, and Prince Reuss, at
that time German ambassador at the
Austrian court
In his "Reminiscences" Prince Bis
marck with remarkable candor explain
ed the considerations which prompted
him to form the alliance with Austria
He realized the necessity of protecting
Germany against aggression by an al
lance with another great power. An
alliance with France, for obvious rea-
sons. was out of the question. The
choice was between Russia and Aus
tria-Hungary. Bismarck did not hest
tate long with his decision in favor Of
Austria.
He knew that Russia would be a
more powerful ally but with his usual
acumen and almost prophetic foresight
be realized that such an alliance would
I'm the end be fatal to the national and
racial interests Of the Teutonic peoples
of Europe. He fOresaw the tremendous
growth of pan-Slavism so carefully nur-
tured and disseminated by Russia and
aiming at the supremacy in Europe Of
the Slavs, with Russia as the ruling
power. Bismarck knew that Austria,
in a greater measure even, was threat
ened by the ascendancy of the Slavs
and had even more reason than Ger
many to fear Russian aggression and
interference, particularly in the Balkan
peninsula.
Austria as a Bulwark.
The preservation of Austria as q
bulwark against pan-Slavism was con-
sidered necessary by Bismarck to main.
tain the balance of power in Europe
and insure the continuance Of peace.
Racial kinship. national traditions and
common interests strongly favored
Austria as the natural ally Of Germany
and these considerations induced the
chancellor to conclude the defensive al
lance of 1879.
Under the terms OF the original
treaty the two powers were to combine
their entire military strength for mu-
tual support In case either of the two
powers should be attacked by Russia
Should one of the two allied powers be
attacked by some other power the 9TH
er agreed not to support the attacking
power and to preserve at least q neu-
trail state friendly to the allied power.
Should Russia support the attacking
power, however, the two allies should
make common cause against the enemy
as II Russia had been the aggressor.
The terms OF the alliance were rath-
ct one sided and lacked the element
OF reciprocity. Under the agreement
the two allied powers were bound to
support one the other only against Rus

CUT THIS OUT
Famous Recipe For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Famous Recipe For Catarrhal Deafn0ss
and Head Noises
If you know of someone who is
troubled with head noises, or catarrhal
deafness, cut out this formula and hand
to them, and you will perhaps have
been the means of saving some poor
sufferers from total deafness. Inves-
tigation has proven conclusively that
catarrhal deafness, head noises, etc,
were usually directly caused by con-
stitutional disease, and that salves,
sprays, inhalers, etc, merely temporise
with the complaint, and seldom, if ever,
effect permanent cure. This being
so, much time and money has been
spent of late in perfecting pure,
gentle. yet effective tonic that would
quickly dispel all traces of catarrhal
poison from the system. The effective
prescription which was eventually for
mulated and which has aroused the be-
lief that catarrhal deafness will soon
be extinct, is given below in under
standable form, so that anyone can
treat themselves in their own home at
little expense.
