|TRIUMVIRATE

GERMANY's ATTITUDE

Paris, Dec. 19.--H. N. GA new
system of European alliances, re-es-
tabiishing the old idea of the balance
OF power. is already in the process
Of provisional formation as the league
OF nations fades away more and more
into the realms of vagueness.
Jast now European statesmen are
stIH hoping that the United States
will ratify the treaty. giving the
league OF nations some semblance of
power to regulate world affairs. Also
they have hot yet emerged from the
.bewilderment into which they were
cast ~ the action or the United
States senate.
II is regarded here as certain that
spring will see, the setting up of
