new government Of Portugal was pledged
to the allied cause to-day In statement
issued at the Portuguese legation. which
says:
efforts are being made to suggest the
idea that the recent revolution in Por-
tugal was essentially a movement In favor
Of Germany and against the allies. There
is not a scintllla of truth in these sug-
gestions. They are merely one more de-
vice of the all-pervading German propa-
ganda intended to SOW dissension among
the allies.
1.-THE foreign policy Of the new Portu-
guese government rests and will continue
to rest on the maintenance Of the alliance
with England and hearty cooperation
with the other allies.
