Nobody is surprised that Italy has joined the allies, and is now fully em barked in the great war in Europe. This has been a foregone conclusion for some time —in fact, ever since she failed to come to tho help of Germany and Austria at the beginning of the war. The Triple Alliance was a heritage of blood, barbarism and beggary left to Europe by I’rince Bismarck, than whom no mnn of the last half of the eighteenth century succeeded in doing more harm to Germnny and the other nntions of Europe. National alliances have always been a menace to the peace of tho world. Two or more nations, forming alliances for mutual protection, do so because they suppose themselves to be in danger from other nations stronger than the allying nations. Why did Bismarck wish, not only to unite the several German states in a great empire, but then form an alliance of that empire with Austria and Italy? The Franco-I’russian war of 1H70-’71 was provoked by Germany as a means of uniting the German states into the German empire. That war was aevor justifiable, and the hard, harsh exactions placed upon France nfter her conquest naturally led to resentments. Germany had no reason to expect any favor from Russia, and so, to provide for an emergency which she know would come some time, she sought an alliance with Italy and Aus tria. This alliance bad little of prom ise in it from the beginning. Italy had no reason to love Austria. Indeed, few other nations have had reason to do so. Tho ties that bound tho mem bers of tho Triple Alliance together were little more than ropes of sand. But this Triple* Alliance led to the for mation of the Triple Entente, and ulti mately to the warm Europe. A nation that hus wronged no other nation hns nii special reason to form alliance with other nations. The wrong done to France in 1871 a wrong that has never been righted together with the greedy ambition of tho kaiser und his Prus sian blood-lovers, led not only to the formation of the Triple Alliance, butalso to the militarism which has made Ger many like an armed cam]) for these forty yenrs. Germans disclaim any wish or purpose to add to their terri tory by this war, but some of the his tory of the German nation will need to be rewritten before tho world outside of Germany itself will be prepared to accept this disclaimer, as warranted by the forts of a generation or two past. Of course, Italy was persuaded to enter tho Triple Alliance for the al leged reason that it was to her interest todoso; tint a reason that makes u man go east to-day may make him go west to morrow. When Italy had less, presumably, to gain ns b nation by nd- hering to the Triple Alliance than by aligning herself with France and Eng land and Russia, she deserted her for mer associates and took her stand against them. It wns to the selfishness and pride of Italy that Germany appealed for rea son for joining the Triple Alliance. Germany has no right to complain now if Italy, having taken her cue from Germany, should find it to her interest to join Germany’s enemies. What elfect the entrance of Italy into tho wt,r will have on the termination and results of the great struggle, no one is wiso enough to tell. It is a reasonable supposition that the end may be hastened thereby, and that the balance against the Germans and Austrians, already very strong, would be greatly strengthened by this ad dition to the ranks of the allies. But the fortunes of war are beyond the ken of uninspired men. One would suppose that Germany wished for the hatred of all the world, from the course she has pursued. She certainly cannot hope for the sympathy of civilized and humane peoples after her wanton cruelties in France and Belgium, and the destruction of the “Lusitania,” with its precious freight of innocent lives. The Government estimate is for one billion bushels of wheat this year. This is encouraging. And it is also en couraging to know that the Southern States will help to raise this immense crop. Maybe, when we get used to raising wheat again, we will keep it up. Some terrible chapters are yet to be written in the history of this awful war. And the end is not yet —possibly by many months —maybe years. And the heart sickens at the thought of what the end may be. And now cometh the season of the sweet girl graduate. And only dis appointed old bachelors and disgruntled old benedicts will say that they are not as sweet as they ever were. The roses this spring are as sweet as they were fifty years ago. Com m t j n ion t r» J. Was “Providence Spring” a Myth? Several years ago, while traveling home from New York to Georgia, I got acquainted with a tine, cultured gentle man from Pennsylvania one who gave every evidence of being a Christian gentleman, lie was an ex-Union sol dier. II" informed the writer that tor several months towards the close of the Civil War he was confined as a prisoner at Andersonville. He related to me an incident of his prison life which, if cor rect, was a remarkable answer to j prayer. He related that the well and I the branches that furnished water to I several thousand prisoners confined in this noted prison had about gone dry, anti that as a consequence there was great suffering among the prisoners for lack of drinking water; that the situation got so desperate many were dying from thirst. There heing no pos sible relief for this sull'ering from any physical source, quite a number of Christians among the prisoners decided to pray that God would send them re freshing water. They prayed earnestly for severul days, and, lol one morning the Lord answered their prayers by sending forth abundant, refreshing wa ter from a bold, free-llowing spring that broke out of the ground within the prison enclosure. Now, I am a great believer in special prayer in all emergencies that arise in our lives, and believed his story of this miraculous supply of water, until re cently, when I saw a statement by your esteemed correspondent, .1. H. M., who has been writing so interestingly in your paper, that this prison was well supplied with water from creeks as from wells. I kindly request him to give us the true facts and history of this "Providence Spring,” the story of which has been told all over the Union. P. F. Smith, Atlanta, Ga. MORELAND.
