AMERICAS ENTRY MiNlMlZEs
ACTIVITIES IN SpAt


LONDON, Aug. s,-(By Mail)-
Americas entrance into the war has
greatly simplined England's difnculty
in dealing with the pro-German in
triguers in Spain.
The most effective weapon England
has for persuading the Spanish to
deal firmly with the anti-Ally forces
is the blockade. BY threatening TO
cut of needed supplies such as coal
and foodstuffs. England has been able
to partly check the hostile movement
But Spain's strength and England's
weakness in the matter before Amer
ica's entrance has been due to the
fact that Spain was always in a posi-.
tion 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
interfering with Spanish-Amerioan
trade
Now, however, with a common An.
glo-American blockade policy, the Al
lies are on much surer ground and
are not expecting any further serious
difficulty with Spain regarding the
harboring OF U-boats, submarine ba.
ses and Teutonic propaganda.

From Riga 10 Petrograd is at least
300 miles through territory largely
swampy, destitute Of any consider

with railroads. The further the Ger

tory the more dangerous will be their

winter. against which no invader has
ever struggled successfully.
The undeTcurrent OF news from
Washington OF Russian conditions
seems to be tinged with a new note
Of pessimlsm. That may be only the
back swing OF the pendulum. Wash
ington's spirits, as reflected by the
news vibrate inoessantiy between
elation and gloom.
We think, however, the reported
dread OF a drive upon Petrograd and
the seizure OF the Government there
Is foolish apprehension. The Russian
wastes, the Russian distances and the
Russian climate may be relied upon
to defeat that. Should It be attempted
the Germans will be less able than
ever to maintain their fighting
strength on the western front, where
the issues OF the war are beiDe
