The commercial treaty between Ger- many and Austria-Hungary has become a topic of comment by the press generally. In its ulterior consequences it bids fair to become a matter of the greatest concern to the people of the United States. As announced, Germany and Austria-Bum gary have invited Italy, Switzerland and Belgium to join in a convention at Vienna for the-avowed purpose of forming a coal- ition of Central European states against, protectionist countries. It is not ye " known whether Italy has consented to join the convention at Vienna. The effec- tiveyslue of the league depends on the adhesion of Italy; without it, it would fall far short of the importance it would gain by her adherence. London : Cleopatra's Needle.

You had toturn out of Leather lane to get there; the turning was anked on either side by a tavern, and these taverns, with their plate glass and gilding, ` were the only things that were bright and vheerful in this region.
