We quoted recently Mr. Herman Bidder's to- ' marks on the foolishness of living np to treaties ?s evldenr-e that ?-?-me of our German-America-*** ere eager to out Bernhardt Pernhardl when It comes to making waste pap?-?* out of International compacts. Herr Ridder almost praised Italy for construing the trenty underlying the Triple Al? liance so as to escape any obligation to fight in this war on the side of ?Serraany and Austria-Hun? gary. He even showed a disposition to ?iniM ? ?Q ?ruse the latter should deride that it was i?. lier advantage to forget all about the lYiple Alliance stipulations and to declaro ?war on her former aft-ooiates. B??rnhardl In his famous hook expressed the fear that Italy orotM avoid the obligation of giving; military aid to Germany in the next European war. But neither he nor any other German back in i.iTmany ha.? ever admitted that Italy wouid be Mfled in flghtiiig for selfish reasons ob the side ..f Germany's enemies. However scornful they niay have b-oon of the inconvenience* of treaty ar rangement.?*. where Belgium was concerne*!, they li.ive never risen to that height of consistency und philosophy from which they could applaud Italy for treating the Triple Alliance ttompact as m ' ip of paper." "Morally ?mancip?t**! f-ister. pa In peace," said Mr. Ridder. But according to n'ports from Europe, the Kaiser, voicing the nat? ural though illogical feeling of his mibjects. tele? graphed to the King of Italy: "Win or lose, ?"'er inaiiy will never forgive your perfidy '? SOW we have in Mr. Ridder's newspajier a sec .?ti?l example of the extremes of reasoning to which cur i;?'i man-Aiiicni'.ui friends are capable of goiag. ' I in- lion.
