VATICAN TO GIVE
 SUPPORT TO SPAIN
Pope to Stand by Alfonso in
 Case Of War

London, Feb. 14.-Spain's inter- vention in the war on the side of the Entente Allies is considered , prob able. The Pope is still trying to in duce Germany to modify its subma- rine warfare plans and has told the 1 Spanish king that if lis effort is un- successful he will announce to the world that he approves Spain's en- try on the ground of self defence.
 The kaiser has been warned that if Spain intervenes similar action on part of all the other European neu- trals will follow. It is expected the Pontiff's condemnation of the sub- marine campaign measures will have a profound effect in South America also.
 A despatch from Madrid via Paris says that during spirited debate on the economic situation today Count Alvaro de Romanones, the premier, announced in the chamber of depu- ties that the cabinet was willing to resign if it's critics believed another could do better.
 Senor Antonio Maura, leader of the conservatives, said that at the time of the last cabinet crisis the present gov ernment lacked vigor and cohesion. He also asserted that King Alfonso did not enjoy full liberty of action.
 To this Count Romanones replied that the king had complete liberty to act He added that the ministers would resign if advisable

MORE BLAME FOR WAR.
Big Reduction in England's Army of
 the Unemployed.

London. Feb. 14.-Unemployme ent, which like the suffrage and the Irish questions, was formerly one of the most difficult subjects the government had to deal with is shown by an off, cial chart just issued by the govern ment board of trade to have now fallen off to the vanishing point. In 1908 the unemployed represented be- tween and 10 per cent. of the work ing population. In 1909 it was be- tween 8 and 9 per cent. These were the years of labor agitation which led to the law for government insur- ance of the unemployed. Up to the time the war began, the unemployed averaged from to per cent. of the population. from 1909 to 1915.
 Since the opening of the war the percentage of unemployed has run steadily down. The official chart shows it was down to per cent four months after the war. started By June, 1915. it was down to 1 per cent. and at the end of 1915 had fallen to onehalf of one per cent. Now it has fallen almost to zero.
 This is having the effect of greatly reducing the governments unemploy- ment insurance. which was one of the main features of Lloyd George's social and economic legislation. The returns for last month show there were 2.027 claims weekly, amounting to 4S6 pounds. or about $125 for each claim
 This is a reduction of fifty per cent since last year, and much greater reduction since the war began.

The market became increasingly apathetic during the forenoon with partial recoveries, from early irregu- larity except in specific instances. Sugar issues reflected latest conditions in Cuba, six point drop in Cuban American sugar being offset by twelve point gain in South Porto Sugar. Rails failed to follow up their improvement of the previous day, a four point decline in Delaware and Hudson and 8 new minimum for New Haven at 38 IA being among the chief incidents of that division. A new low quotation of 90 1-2 for Anglo French fives featured the nominal bond market.

to such a procedure. Personally, the former ambassador feels that many Americans have not always been strictly neutral. He has told his friends, however, that he believed sen tnnent in the United States was in fiuenced by conditions brought about by the war.
 The former mbassador refused to charge that Germany had violated the rights of humanity and principles of international law. Are not the prin- ciples of international law being violated every hour by the British?" he asked. He said that the submarine campaign would increase with warmer weather but that if Americans kept out of the danger zone there would he no war. He expressed the hope that war would be averted
 Asked if he would ever come back to this country he replied that he could not say. Certainly I shall never be ambassador again." he said. That has never been done in the his- tory of diplomacy. But I may come hack to attend a peace conference. I have done everything within the power of mortal man to keep what has happened from happening. But there were some things I could not do.
 During the last days of my stay have received hundreds upon hundreds of letters from people all over this country. In all of them the writers have expressed their good wishes. There has not been one bad letter in the entire lot. Isn't that fine?''
 Halifax. Feb. 14.-One hundred government officials and inspectors ar rived here today from Ottawa to take part in examination of the steamer Frederik VIII, which will stop at this port on her way to Copenhagen with Count Von Bernstorff land his suite. The steamer, which is expected to ar rive here Friday, will not enter the harbor until after nightfall, govern- ment officials said, and will also de- part at night.
 Unusual precautions are being talk en to guard the members of the party during their stay here. The steamer will not stop at quarantine, as pre- vlously reported, but will enter the harbor and announce her arrival short distance off shore. Naval pa trol boats have been designated to meet the vessel at the harbor mouth and escort her to an anchorage.
 It was announced that the examin- atlon of the cargo would begin imme- d1ately on her arrival. While Count Won Bernstorff and his suite had been granted safe conduct by the allied government officials said this agree ment would not prevent a careful in- spection in her cabin
 Steel for export is piling up on the pier and it is estimated that more than a million tons are here, awaiting shipment. Shippers say that the British government is preparing to send tank steamers to take over large quantities of oil and gasoline which have been accommodating here since the Standard Oil company refused to send out its own ships.
