taken by a commission. appointed to re-

A Friend i'm Need.

Didn't help you in your Spanish
war by keeping my hands off?" This,
to US. quoth England. Now comes the
Spanish premier. Silvela, who tells a
different story.
Premier Silves declared recently in
the Spanish Senate that previous to
the war with the United States the
British Government had consented to
let Spain have $500 shells which were
being manufactured for England at
MaXim's factory at Placentia meets
with vigorous denial in London. Albert
Viekers, head of the VickersMaxim
firm. said: Senior Silyela- lied. There
is not word of truth in this allegation
that England helped Spain to fight the
United States. In the first place the
factory at Placentia is branch of our
concern. built at the request of Spain,
because that country wanted ammuni-
ton of home manufacture. 1t is under
the Spanish Governments control and
there never was shell manufactured
there for sale in England or III any
country except Spain, where law
against the export of ammunition ex-
ists.'"
Lord Salisbury says faint so, and
if it is so the Vickers- Maxim company
furnished the shells without the knowl-
edge of the British Government" The
idea of the British Government being
ignorant when an honest penny is to
be made She would have deprived
the infant Savior of His swaddling
