Spain's Change in Premiers
Holds Promise for Allies

Is Flguerea. For hundreds Of years
his family has owned most Of the
country around Malaga, and to-day its
members are identified With much Of
the mining industry Of the kingdom,
with Its tobacco monopoly and its
principal steamship lines.
The ancestral home Of the Premier
In Madrid Is the grand old palace In
the Gale Monte Esquinza. now In the
possession Of his brother. the Duke OF
Tovar. II Is full Of art treasures, espe-
cially rich In the works Of Velasquez.
OF Goya and Of Lopez. The intimacy
between the two brothers. the Count
and the Duke. Is very great indeed.
far more 80 than that which usually
obtains between men thus related, and
they are associated with each other
IN many useful enterprises. Thus
they have founded together at Madrid
a charitable organization which has
Tovar. to provide on a cooperative
system cheaper food and household
commodities for the laboring classes.
Together they have labored for the
organization and development Of the
Boy Scout movement and there are
some 10000 OF these youngsters in
Madrid alone. the boys CARRIED Just like
their comrades in the United States
and in Great Britain.
The Prime Minister excels with his
brush a. a painter. whereas the Duke
Of Tovar Is n talented sculptor. to
whom the King and the two Queens
have accorded slttings. Both brothers
have an understanding with social
ism, are IN close touch with the Social
ist leaders and are keenly alive to the
necessity OF lettering the material life
Of the working classes.
In Barcelona. indeed. the new
Premier is particularly we'll liked. For
they cannot forget that when last In
office he championed the "Mancomuni-
dades" measure providing for decen-
tralization and for the extension Of
very much larger power to provincial
councils. municipalities and local ad-
ministrations generally.
Altogether Count RumAnones Is a
most enlightened and progressive
Statesman. perhaps the most UP to
date and brood minded statesman now
living Of the Iberian Peninsula. He
Is a man. In one word. whose views.
whose aims and whose principles
would appeal to the American people.
There Is nothing reactionary or mar
ROY minded about him.
He Is too shrewd a business man
to embark his country in any such
hotheaded venture as the interview
ton OF Spain In the present war on
the side OF his. avowed friends, the
Allies, but assuredly he will not neg
lect any opportunity that may arise
either while the conflict IL stu in
progress or on the restoration Of
peace TO further the interests Of the
nation.

Spy Exposures
Point to a National Peril

tn HE recent, present and coming
prosecutions by the Federal
Government OF European Sc
cret agents and spies give the
American public but a slight insight
into what steps are being taken by
the Federal authorities to discover.
check and defeat the plans which
those in the employ Of the espionage
departments Of Germany and Austria
and, to n less extent. of England.
France, Russia and Italy are making
here for the purpose Of ~obstructing the
endeavors OF their respective enemies.
Nor is 1t widely known that II own
secret service 10 at a disadvantage
when It's organization and scope are
compared with tho strength and pre-
cision Of foreign systems operating
both here and at home.
Limited in size. scope and effective
ness, there is no doubt that the secret
service and the bureau Of investiga-
ton Of the Department Of Justice are
inadequate to meet the difficulties
arising out Of the present situation.
although both contain men Of high
ability.
Where does the fault lie? Congress
for years has opposed an Increase in
the size Of the secret service or an ex-
tension Of its powers. basing its oppo-
sition on the ground that 1t Is undigni-
fed to spy on others and similar rea-
sons Incidentally II might be remem
bered that during the administration
Of President Roosevelt It was charged
that he made use Of secret service
agents to obtain facts concerning the
private lives OF certain Senators and
Congressman who opposed his pet
measures. So bitter was the resent
ment caused by this allegation that
legislation was passed later restrict
ing the activities OF the secret service
and hampering Its work in various
ways.
Meanwhile millions OF dollars worth
scores OF lives have been lost and
many others have been endangered.

have the activities OF foreign spies be-
come In this country that some Gov
eminent officials have become con-
WINGED OF the necessity OF increasing
tn scope Of the secret service and
transferring 1t to the Department Of
Justice.
The United States has long been re-
garded by foreign Governments as a
paradise in which their spies might
work almost withou, hindrance. The
fact Is that We practically throw open
our doors to all those engaged in
espionage for foreign countries and
not only give them opportunity to do
about as they please but In many
ways aid them In their work. Until
recently no obstacles whatever were

Mexicans Will Bother Amer

More.

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 11.-Mexican
territory adjacent to Arizona and
New, Mexico was neutralized Satur-
day by an agreement signed by Gen.
Villa, commanding tha Mexican con-
vention forces, and Gen. Hugh l.,
Scott. Chief of the General Staff of
the United States Army. in the Mexi-
can Custom House in Juarez.
This agreement had previously
been signed by Gen. Benjamin Hill.
commanding the Carranza force in
trenched at Naco. Sonora. and by
Gen. Elias Gales. who superseded
Hill at Naco and Aqua Prieta.
The agreement, which was made
signed to prevent further killing of

l. That the port OF Naco shall be
evacuated by the Constitutionalist
forces under the command of Gen.
Hill.
