Hear U-BOat Carried
Peace Note to Spain

Madrid (via Paris). June 23.-Great
interest and curiosity is manifested
over the visit of the German submarine
TO Cartagena bearing a letter TO King
Alfonso from the German Emperor.
"El Liberal" is skeptical concerning
the explanation that tho letter is
merely one Of thanks for the treatment
shown tho Germans interned from the
Ksmerun.
The paper points out the peculiarity
of the choice of a submarine 70 carry
imperial documents, and says that the
commander of the undersea craft COM
mitted an offence against international
rules by entering the port and COM
municating with the German interned
ship Roma before the Spanish naval
authorities were consulted.
Premier Romanones, interviewed con-
cerning the visit, says that the Spanish
government will not permit its neu-
trality to be brought into question un-
der any circumstances and will insist
on the strict observance of interna-
tional regulations concerning the en-
trance of belligerent warships into
neutral ports. The letter which the
submarine brought has not been turned
over to the German Embassy and no
further details have been learned re-
garding it.
One report has It that the Ksiser's
message contained a plea for mediation
by Spain.

London, June 23.-Dropping hob
nailed boots of two months back, Ger
many Is now sleuthing for peace in
gum shoes. Having found America
unwelcome as an agent, the Kaiser has
turned toward King Alfonso. who al
ready has played an active part a. a
neutral in the war, through his efforts
along humanitarian lines on behalf OF
both beligerents.
Overtures have been going on for
some time now. The Spanish Ambas-
sador at Berlin has returned, or will
return Immediately, to Madrid, osten-
sibly for a holiday, but there is good
reason to believe he bears q message
from the Kaiser to the King. It would
not be surprising II fresh peace overt
ures came from Spain within the next
fortnight.
! have the best authority for stating
that Germany has never made direct
overtures to the combined Allies,
though on the other hand she has un-
officially sounded separately all except
Great Britain. All through the spring
Germany has made persistent peace
sallies toward France, each time meet
ing a rebuff, but, as at Verdun, she
has never remained inactive long.
Belgium and Russia were also sound
ed, but France has been the target
she has fred at most. Had Verdun
fallen, the Germans hoped France
would have been satisfied with less,
and that they would be able to grant
demands satisfactory to both peoples.
