INTERVENTION
Is Correctly Sized Up by the London
Speaker

LONDON, May N.-The weeklies corr
tinue their pro-American comments on the
war and it's international developments.
The Speaker says: 1.-THE ultimate resu.es
of the war cannot be doubtful. Any cheek
the United States may receive will only
increase it's determination to persist. The
Intervention of the powers would make
that determination unalterable, and If Eu-
ropean complications bring on European
war, every great power in Europe, except
ourselves and Germany, will find what
Italy and Spain have found already-that
its government is sitting on a Volcano"
The Spectator. discussing the, Spanish
crisis, says: 1.-THE plain truth Of the mat
ter is that If Senior Sagasta should fail to
protect Cuba or to induce some of the con-
tinental powers to venture upon active in
terventich, he will be superseded by mil
itary dictatorship or revolutionary jun
ta." Referring to Mr.. Chamberlain's adj
vocacy of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, the
Spectator declares: I'VE would welcome
anything in the strengthening OF the
Anelo-Saxon race, not as security only for
Americans and English, but as security
that the best tendencies in social and polit-
ical life would be given full play"
