heavyweight championship Of France
for several years and has that essen

punch as we'll as to give one. He IS
a nephew Of Oscar Wilde.

AMERICAS ENTRY
MINIMIzES TEUT
SPANISH ACTIVITY

LONDON. Aug. (by il).-Aner-
ica's entrance into the war has greatly
simplihed England's difficulty in deal
ing with the pro-German intriguers in
Spain.
The most effective weapon England
has for persuading the Spanish to
deal firmly with the anti-Auy forces
is the blockade. BY threatening to
cut off needed supplies such as coal
and foodstuffs. England has been able
to partly check the hostile movement
But Spains strength and England
weakness before Americas entrance
has been due to the fact that Spain
was always in a position to defy the
latter and draw her needed imports
from the United States. Spain, not
being contiguous to Germany and
therefore unable to re-export any
American imports to the Central
Powers. England realized she would
have had no valid excuse for interfer-
ing with Spanish-American trade.
Now. however. with a common
Anglo-American blockade policy. the
Allies are on much surer ground and
are not expecting any further serious
difficulty with Spain regarding the
harboring Of U-boats. submarine bases
and Teutonic propaganda

MOSCOW, Aug. 29.-The spectre Of a
counter revolution today was invoked
to persuade widely split elements to
reconcile their differences in Russia's
national conference. The speaker was
NJ. orokhof, chief spokesman for the
railroad employees. he took the work
mems and soldiers delegates sternly to
task for their imagining that every
step proposed by the cadets was re-
dictionary.
He declared, however, that If the
counter revolution did come he and his
fellow railroad employees would "see
that it failed" by tying UP every means
of communication in the country.
"There is no doubt counter revo1u-
tiou is growing" he said.
The spokesman for the Russian Jews
pledged the loyalty of that race to the
new government.
AIusselrnan delegates pledged m
swerving fea1ty to the administration.
