is SPAIN FOR WAR?
WITH her PEOPLE The CHURCH
COMES FIRST.
Revolution Led by Don Jaime Is Likely
He Has Support Of the Vatican
Rumor Has 1t That He Has Been
Making Love to J. P. Morgan's
Daughter, Anne, Who May Be Queen


Excitement in Madrid and through
out Spain is intense over the conflict
with the Vatican, which came to a
climax Saturday.
Both the government and clerical
parties have accepted the challenge to
battle and the situation, complicated
by the intrusion of Don Jaime, the ex-
lied pretender to the throne, may, un-
der existing conditions, easily develop
as acute features as those of last year.
Already the government is taking pre-
cautions and prohibiting demonstra-
tions from which disorder might result
The clerical element, which has often
before won similar battles in Spain,
shows no hesitation in entering upon
the conflict and seems to have set it's
aim not upon minor concessions and a
compromise acceptable to the holy see,
but upon the downfall of Canalejas and
his cabinet and the cancellation of the
entire program of reform. The with
drawaI of the imperial decree permit
ting non Catholic organizations to dis
play the insignia of public worship,
which furnishes the ostensible cause of
the conflict and for the severance of
diplomatic relations, assumes second
airy Importance.
Would Modernize Spain.
Monsignor Vico, the papal nuncio to
the Spanish court, was recalled by Pope
Dx.o Uho ootsan of IN holy
followed the recall of Ambassador EN-
lilo de Ojeda by King Alfonso.
With-the mutual recall came the sew
erance of all diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Spanish
court.
Brings Alfonso to Front.
The abrupt severance of friendly re-
iations of Spain with the Vatican
brings King Alfonso into the fore
ground of European politics. The oppo-
nents Of the young monarch have
doubted the sincerity of the king IS anti
religious actions from the time the
church and state locked horns in Spain,
Today they praise the kings stand and
give him credit rather than Premier
Canalejas, who still is held in popular
suspicion.
Miss Morgan a Queen?
With the ancient monarchy of Spain
standing upon the threshold of civil
war which may rend it from the Pyren
mes mountains to the Portuguese boun
dairy, and the fact that Don Jaime, pre-
tender to the throne, is threatening tC
head a revolution, has not caused any
more excitement than the report il
Bourbon circles in Paris that Miss Anne
Morgan, daughter of j. P. Morgan
multi-millionaire, may become queen Of
Spain.
For months society journals published
from time to time stories of the inter
est which Don Jaime shows for Mis-
Morgan, and which they say is recipro
Gated by her. Paris now learns TO
the first time that Don Jaime IS lates
entrance into Spanish affairs is to hea,
a rebellion which may be financed b,
j. p. Morgan.
1t is believed that, together with til
millions of dollars which may possibl
come from America, Spain is ripe flo
the revolt which will not only over
throw the government, but will estat
Iish Don Jaime on the throne, which h
has long claimed was his by right o
law.
No Idle Dream.
The possibility Of Miss Morgan b,
coming queen Of Spain some day is b
no means so vague as to be impossible
Spain is essentially a Roman Cathol
nation, and the people cling to the fait
with more tenacity than patriotism
With the Spanish, the church of Ron
comes before the state and the kin
No wonder then, considering the
circumstances, that Don Jaime h
rallied to the cause Of the Spanish pc
pie, volunteering to lead a revolutiC
in defense of the Vatican against Il
government Of AlphOnsO.
Don Jaime q Hero.
Don Jaime has been hailed throug
out the provinces of Spain as hel
His threat to throw Spain into civ
war conceded with the fiery determir
tion of the Spanish people to punt
Alphonso. Ever since the waging
the war in Morocco and the Barcelo
riot the excitement throughout Spa
has been tending more and more
ward anarchy.
