SPAIN GETTING UNEASY.

Spain may be preparing to enter the |
war on the side of the Teutonic allies |
for the purpose of re-taking Gibral-
tar from the British and annexing
Portugal to the Spanish kingdom.
Rumor from Gibraltar that the Span
ish army is to be re-equipped with
Remington in place of Mauser rifles
comedies with New York reports that
Spain has deposited here S30,0OO,0 900
with which to purchase war supplies
from American firms. The two state
ments, coming from independent sourc-
es, tend to confirm each other. They
indicate the possibility that the war
may spread from southeastern to south
western Europe if Spain is allowed. to
receive the supplies she has ordered in
the United States
1t is highly improbable that the
Spaniards are innoeently intent sim
ply on substituting one type of rifle
for another. The demand for all Amer
ican-made war implements is at pres
! emit so insistent that Spain must pay
eXtravagant prices for what she wants.
By waiting until the end of the war
! the cost probably would be 80 per cent
/ less than now. Spain has suffered
severe economic losses during the war,
and it is not probable the government
1 at Madrid would tolerate extravagant
expenditures and face the necessity OF
imposing new high taxes, unless the re
aIIirpmeuts were urpent
Spain is in no danger of suffering an
attack by any of the belhgerents. Her
immediate need for new arms, suggests
that offensive plans are maturing at
King Alfonso 5 court. The Spaniards
may have concluded either that Ger
many will win the war or that the end
will be a condition of general exhaus-
ton permitting Spain to advance at
the last moment and seize Portugal
and Gibraltar.
Portugal has a secret offensive and
defensive treaty with Great Britain
under the terms of which the Portu
guese army was placed at England 5
disposal when the Boer mutiny II
South Africa broke out last year. ii
is generally understood that in return
the British government pledged itself
to defend Portugal s independence.
declaration OF war by Spain agains
Portugal, therefore, would mean a de
elaration of war against Great Britain
and would make Spain the ally of thu
Teutonic powers.
The Spaniards have been largely pro
German since the beginning or the war
They remember Germany S sympathet

Archduchess. His wife a BARTENDER,
Princess, is half German and half Brit

Horsefesh is to be sold under au-
thorization of the officials in New
York city. Old horses are to be fattene
and killed as an addition to the food
supply. Countries abroad have eaten
horse meat for years, but we would
have about as much enthusiasm for
fattening old Dobbin for an end in the
slaughter house as we would in using the
household eat for the same purpose.

Much Concern Over Camping Party
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Hawks of Ben
nington, who had been camping at the
Grout mills, since the first of the
hunting season and were intending to
stay there until after Christmas,
made up their minds after the deep
snow came that an automobile was not
a good conveyance to take them home
so tried three days to make a path to
the top of the mountain road
The thaw coming helped them so
they were able to get nearly over to
the old Kelley stand, when Clarence
Streeter of West Wardsboro overlook
them on snowshoes Sunday Mr..
Streeter, after receiving telephone
Samuel Hawks, also of Bennington,
started out to see what had become of
the young people, not expecting to go
farther than their camp, but upon
reaching the camp and finding no one
there followed on in their tracks until
he overlook them nearly five miles be
yond the camp finding them in good
spirits, although the snow was about
knee deep at every step, and nearly
down to the old Kelley stand where
they intended to spend the night
Mr.. Streeter came back, reaching
home in very exhausted state
as he had no chance to rest or
anything to eat after eating an
early breakfast, but a good night IS
rest made him as good as new.
Upon telephoning the result to George
Hawks he learned that no one was
living at the Kelley stand this win
ter, but undoubtedly they would send
help from Arlington to Mr. and Mrs.
Hawks Monday.
