Special TO The washington Herald.
London. April 25-There is some ground
for believing that the days of the Quad
ruple Alliance are numbered. No state
ment OF the kind can Of course be pre-
dicted definitely. but 1t Is believed to be
certain that Austria is looking around
for ways and means of shaking OF the
German fetters which bind her to a con-
tinuation of the war, from which she
can expect no solid gain.
"A clear distinction Is drawn between
the secret move by Austria in the dfrec-
ton Of freedom from German shackles
and the illusory peace moves" which
Berlin is generally ready to foster with
the object OF opening up divergenoes be-
tween the Allies There Is no danger,
for instance, Of Italy accepting proposals
from Austria without the fullest consul
tation and agreement with the other sig
natories OF the London agreement.
There was a period OF the war when II
was the common boast Of Germany that
her Austro-Hungarian ally was a dead
weight around her neck. Austrian defec-
ton now. would be calculated to create
a different feeling which might translate
itself into an attempt to employ In a
punitive" expedition such as the Ger
man military mind reJoices in. against
the former ally that strategic reserve OF
which Hindenburgj jboasted and which in
the view OF some people here is already
being drawn upon to repair the wastags
