Franco is overjoyed at the thought that Spain has joined the Triple Entento, and 50 weakened the Triple Alliance con- siderably, judging by the anger of Ger many. King Alfonso is a clear-headed Bovereign for his age, and one must heartily congratulate him on definitely offering President Poincaré the negotia tion of
a Franco-Spanish Cordiale." In political circles, both in France and Spain, it was well known bofore-hand what the nature of King Alfonso's official visit to Paris was. Diplomacy had paved the way, and all that His Majesty had to do was to seal the compact, The Gaulois states that on thrco occasions King Alfonso returned to the subject, urging that if such an Entente were concluded France might with diaw her troops from the Pyrenees. A Quadruple Entente such ps now exists is naturally unpalatable to Germany, to sav nothing of the other members constituting the Triple Alliance. Germany tried hard' to prevent such an agreement, and will seize the occasion of the approaching visit of King Alfonso to the Fatherland to try and cause him to alter his mind--, which he is not likely to do. What King' Alfonso has done has been done solely in. the interests of the Triple Entente and of.
