SPAIN VICTIM
OF GERMAN PLAN
(Bv Associated Press.N


London. Sept. 27.-That Germany
offered Morocco, Gibraltar and Por-
tugal to Spain for entering the war
against the allies is the sensational
disclosure made by the former Span
ish premier, Count Romanones, in the
course of a special interview granted
to the correspondent Of The Rome
Tribuna
Middle Course Impossible.
Count Romanones, in explaining
his resignation. said:
After mature reflection. / have
come to the conclusion that a middle
course policy between the two groups
OF belligerents has been and is abso-
lutely impossible for a country GkA
Spain, which does not concern herself
merely with her own immediate in
terests, but seeks definitely to deter
mine her international position in the
world after the war.
Conviction is Firm.
ut was then that ] decided to di-
rect to the king a message which
ultimately resulted in my breaking
of with the government. Today
cannot but fully approve what l had
written at that time, and / am sure
that in a brief time all my country
men, beginning with the liberals, will
hold the same view as myself.
ITO speak. as some enthusiastic
Germanophiles are doing, Of Spain's
helping the central powers-even if
we admit for a moment that Spain
could adhere to their social and po-
litical program-is pure nonsense.
1T has been said that a victory
of the central empire would gfae
Spain great advantages and would
enable her after the conclusion Of the
war to become one of the great pow
ers OF Europe.
Spain Offered Power.
why should / conceal from you
the fact that this tempting mirage
has been skilfully and insistently
displayed before the eyes of the
Spanish people? Morocco. Gibraltar
and Portugal were the gifts which
were offered to Spain"

RAILROADS MUST FURNISH CARS

PREPARATION to shippers for failure to

In test case of Belleville, ILL.,, min

reversed an Injunction of the Illinois
Federal Court enjoining an order of
the commission for investigation OF
damages to shippers for failure of the
railroad to supply coal cars. The de-

The bituminous coal shortage is
