If the Italians were to take any hand whatever in a general struggle; it almost seemed as if it would be against the German and Austrian alliance. - . ' Politicians pointed out that the com pact which binds Germany, Austria and Italy: together, in theory,' though it might have advantages in some in stances, really ia an unnatural one in the -present case.
