The Triple Entente.

The triple entente, that friendly bond
between Russia, England and France,
is the legacy which Edward VII. Of
England has left to posterity. He was
the moving spirit In Its formation. II
began with an agreement entered into
between Great Britain and France In
1904, and was completed by an agree
ment between Russia and the two 9th
ers In 1907.
Its formation was actuated by sew
eral things, but chiefly by the growth
of Germany's naval power. That could
be interpreted only as menace to
England, for England is the supreme
lord Of the seas. Edward VII, the
uncle OF Emperor William H., used his
powers Of diplomacy to good advan-
tage to protect England against Will
liams designs. Russia and France had
long been friends.
Engand's admittance into the bond
with them has made the triple entente
a formidable force to reckon with.
VIII Italy remain in the triple ALI
ance or will she deliver her friendship
over TO the triple entente? England
has long been making overtures TO IT
ally. England wants her friendly serv-
ices to help guard the Mediterranean
sea, Great Britain cannot spare ships
TO guard it herself She has to have
them massed in the North sea to meet
any sudden attack the German new
born but mighty feet might make.
Otherwise Emperor William would be
landing with his army upon the Eng
lish coast. The English firmly believe
that he seeks to be crowned in West

ish Isles

A Bismarck Prophecy.

Bismarck. soon after he entered the
extraordinary speech in parliament
that Prussia could never be great I'M
til she had had three wars, one with
Denmark, one with Austria and one
with France. Older heads told him
he was talking nonsense. But as soon
lis he came into power the wars began.
Denmark had no king; the success
sion was disputed. Prussia offered
her candidate for the throne. Den.
mark refused to accept him. Prussia
went to war under the pretext. Aus
tria was told by Bismarck that If she
helped Prussia at this time she should
receive part Of the Danish province
Of Schleswig- Holstein, which had be
longed to Prussia 200 years before.
Austria helped to fight Prussia's bat
ties on land and sea, but when the
war was finished and Denmark, hum
bled and conquered, had TO give up
Schleswig Holstein. II all went to
Prussia, no part or II to Austria. The
present empress Of Germany, William
lis consort. sits beside her husband
upon his throne because she was a
princess Of Schleswig- Holstein and
could help to make the people Of that
province contented TO remain under
Prussian rule.
