Spain Negotiating for
Immunity from U-Boats

Washington, June 2.-Spein is be-
lieved by some officials here to be ne
gotiating with Germany with a view to
obtaining immunity for her ships from
submarine attack This is thought
here TO be what the Spanish Minister
Of the Interior meant by the "impor-
tant negotiations now going on" TO
which he referred yesterday.
Germany, it is stated, is prepared &c
grant immunity to Spanish ships under
certain conditions. The Berlin gov
eminent requires that Spanish vessels
shall not serve as carriers for the Al
lies and will permit Spanish ships to
pass unmoleSted with cargoes from the
United States to Spain, even though
such cargoes be composed in part or
wholly of contraband. provided the
contraband is not allowed by the Ma
drid government 20 leave Spain. Ger
many would subject Spanish exports to
the United States to the German prize
court regulations.

BY ISAAC DON LEVINE

New clouds are gathering on the
horizons Of free Russia. A storm that
may bring the gravest possible crisis
Is threatening The nations various
political and economic difficulties
shrink into insignifcarce in COMPARE
son with the arrest of Grand Duke
Nicholas and the report of Royalist
outbreaks in the Caucasus.
The Caucasus is the least assimiiated
part Of the vast and conglomcrate Rus
sian state 1t is inhabited by races
whose profession is warfare, and whose
ethics still approve Of brigandage and
robbery as lawful occupations. The
Caucasus was never completely con
quercd by Russia And yet from the
mountain tribes Of the Caucasus the
Cars recruited their most loyal sol
diers. A counter revolution could not
begin i'm a more dangerous or ominous
way than by a Caucasian uprising.
Only a week ago Minister Of War
Keronsky uttered phrase which puz-
lied the entire world at the time. There
is danger not only Of losing Armenia,
but part of the Caucasus he declared.
The latest news interprets the minis
tcr'S words. IL also reveals the extent
Of the royalist Outbreaks" They evil
IDENTIFY are of dimensions warrantlng
their being called more appropriately
a rebellion or uprising if kerensky a
week ago considered them a grave men
ace.
Grave Possibilities
The possibilities of a Caucasian re-
volt are such as to cause the gravest
apprehension. That the present trouble
originated in Armenia is obvious from
Kerensky's statement. That the Ar
menians, who have hailed the Russian
revolution with undoubted joy, are not
the culprits of the "royalist out
break" is beyond any doubt. The only
forces that could possibly have started
an uprising are the Russian troops in
yading Turkey. Most of these troops
are Caucasian mountaineers. Their
commander in chief at the outbreak Of
the revolution was Grand Duke Nicho-
las. That he was popular with them
goes without saying, as under his com
mand they made wonderful progress
against the Turks.
The Council of Workmen and Soldiers
caused Grand Duke Nicholas to be re-
moved Immediately after the govern
ment overthrow. The effect of this on
the Caucasian armies must have been
enormous, for these armies are not
composed of former students and poll
ticians. as or the Western front, but Of
fighters. To them the revolution was
nothing but a distant echo. The con
ditions that caused it were practically
O riddIe IN the successful Campalgners
in Asia Minor. For no defeats had
been caused there through the treach-
cry of Sturmers and Sukhomlinoifs:
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff led
them from one triumph to another.
Challenge TO Caucasians
In these circumstances it is apparent
that the two or three hundred thou
sand victorious and loyal troops IN
Armenia and the Caucasus could have
received the news Of the overthrow OF
the Car without protest only when
influenced by their beloved chief. The
rash removal Of the grand duke conse-

CHURCH FLAG
METHODIST CHURCH TO HAVE
FLAG RAISING SERVICE
NEXT SUNDAY.

The Methodist church, of this city,
is to have a new flag. says Rev. III.
W. Minish. Some time ago the Off
cial board of the church appointed a
committee to secure 4 suitable flag
for the church. Earle Kelley and
Mrs. Townsend were the committee
and they have purchased a beautiful
large flag which is TO be placed above
the pulpit back of the choir loft. The
flag did not arrive in time to have it
placed before the c%hautauqua opened,
but next Sunday morning at 10 a. m.
a flag raising service viii be held.
A number of 10-minute addresses
will be delivered by prominent citi-
zen of the community. A represent
ative of the official board Will pre-
sent the flag and the pastor will ac-
cept it in the name of the church.
1t is hoped that the children of the
Sunday school can attend this sery-

ed that Miss Rose Blumenthal will
sing at this service if she is still i'm

RED CROSS PLANS
LITTLE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH
ED In STATE-FURTHER
ORGANIZATION.

John w. Walden returned from
Sioux Falls, where he attended a
meeting of state officers and repre-
sentatives of the Red Cross. The
meeting was presided over by Former
Senator r. j. Gamble. f. j. Curtis,
field secretary for the national or
ganization, addressed the meeting,
and outlined and defined the work.
The startling statement is made
that this state is one of the lowest in
point of support of the Red Cross.
The whole amount raised amounts to
only about 10 cents per i%nhabitant.
1t Is for the purpose of more clearly
defining the work, which to the COM
mon person seems to be divided
among ASSOCIATED associations or
groups, and making plain just the
object and accomplishment of the di-
Visions.
Further instructions and defini-
lions are not at thfs time available,
but 1T Is thoroughly understood by
the men in attendance at the meet
ing at Sioux Falls Monday, that there
+ two objects in the Red Cross.
One aims to maintain hospitals and
