CAUSES SPIRITED DEBATE
Members of Cortes Question the Pre-

MADRID, via Paris, February 10
Spanish neutrality was the subject of
animated discussion in the cortes Satur-

the premier, Count de Romanones, on the
attitude OF the government in the war.
Deputy Rodes demanded an explicit state
ment upon the motives actuaring the gov
ernments policy and upon what it pro-
posed to do.
The premier. in reply. said that the gov
eminent was. above all, neutral as be-
tween the two opposing elements and had
shown its attitude very distinctly in the
action taken in connection with several
moves by the United States: one, the in
vitation to intervene for the re-esta blish-
ment of peace. and, another, an invitation
TO declare war against Germany.
Deputy Rodes. iuterrupting the premier.

WINS PERMANENT PLACE
IN THE POLICE SERVICE
Comment of Miss Dawson on Her
Contest for Women's Employ
ment in England.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. February fl think we
have won a permanent place for the
women policeman in England" said
Miss A. Damer Lawson, commandment
of the Women's Police Service, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry as to the present
status of the organization. We have
at least proved our usefulness, although
we have not accomplished as much as
we would have done if we had been
given a better chance ana a wider op-
portunity. But we must not complain.
We are young as an organization. We
are growing steadily in power and in
fuence. That is something.
The Women Police Service was
founded at the beginning of the war
for the purpose of training body of
women who might be used as "substi-
tute police" more especially as pro-
tective and preventive agents among
women and children.
AT that time" remarked Miss paw-
son, there seemed almost no opening
for practical demonstration of what
women police could do there were
still many policemen on duty.

very reason it cannot undertake dis
cussions or negotiations which would

toward those countries which had
shown friendship to Spain.
Melquiades Alvarez, leader of the re-
formist party, expressed the sympathy
of the reformists with the entente pow
erS. The premier closed the debate by
declaring that the government would
maintain with pride it's neutrality and
would defend all points of its note to
