Spain today Is one OF the niost ''
portant and complex problems racing
the United States and the allies.
Already she is feeling the teeth OF
Americas grim war determination IN
answer to her interference with ship
ment Of needed supplies to General
Pershlng's army in France. Eight OF
her merchant ships are idle in New
York, refused bunker coal licenses
pending the outcome OF negotiations
the nature Of which cannot be re-
vealed.
Meantime, however, reliable informa-
ton has come which presents an au-
thoritative insight into Spanish con-
dtions.
The Spaniards, 1t Is said. are watch
ing the critical progress OF the war
with keen eyes. II Spain enters she
wants to be on the winning side. Her
army Is regarded as pro- German. AS
In every other country the officers OF
the army are greatly impressed by the
fetish Of German military efficiency
Many Of them have been trained IN
Germany and are thoroughly German
ophile.
1t is claimed that Spain has modern
rifles FORE. 100000 men. 1t is asserted
that there are 10000 German reservists
in the country and that when the Span
ish army takes the field the burden OF
command will fall upon 10000 trained
German officers already in tho country
and their campaign we'll planned and
every man in his place.
In view Of these conditions, this gov
eminent today Is directly faced with
tho task. not only Of holding Spain to
our conceptions Of neutrality but OF
keeping her from Joining with Ger
many.
That she has been Of great service
many-has been known for some
time.
German subm arines have been pro-
visioning and getting wireless infor-
nation along tho Spanish coasts fol-
many months. Submarine crews have
been changed in Spanish harbors
American agents kept track OF the
manufacture on one German boat In a
Spanish harbor and there was regu'
lar weekly change in personnel
brought about by "spelllng" t-hoa
crews. All over the coast Of Spain. II
is reported there are German wireless
stations in constant touch with Ger
many and submarines.
But despite her apparent lean ing to-
ward the German cause-now accent
uated by her interference with sup
plies to the American fighting force
Spain, 1t Is believed. would side witt
the allies II she saw in them winner
If, however Germany delivered the
first crushing blow, American citizen!
in Spain say Alphonso XIII will bt
forced to go in on the side OF the Tcu'
ton.
Hence this government is determin
ed to obtain n definite understandings
with Spain on several points. the ma
ture OF which cannot be disclosed now
and Spanish ships are temporarily hclt
in American ports pending the adjust
ment.
Cutting on the Spanish manufactur
cr from his raw products shipped from
this country would serve. II Is reported
as a distinctly SOLDERING influence OF

,ENrHusE OVER CONCRETE SHIPS.
Senate Committee Urges Thorough
Investigation by Experts.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Carried away
by enthusiasm for the concrete ship
plan advocated before them two days
ago by Ray Robinson, Of Chicago, the
senate commerce committee. which Is
investigating the affairs Of the ship
ping board passed resolution urging
the Emergency Fleet Corporation to
adopt this plan and give its attention
to the matter Of concrete ship con-
struction.
The resolution was passed by a vote
Of four to two, after a heated discus
sion among the few senators present.
Those voting for it were Senators
Jones, Of Washington: Johnson, of
California: Fletcher Of Florida, and
Calder, OF New York. Those who voted
against it were Senators Nelson, OF
Minnesota and Vardaman, of Missis-
sipp.
The project or the face Of it sounds
too much like the 1000 wooden ship
project by means of which America
| had utterly and entirely defeated the
Gexman submarine campaign eight
months ago.
The resolution Of the senate COM
merce committee follows:
Resolved, That 1t Is the belief OF the
comittee on commerce that the sug-
geetions submitted to the committee
J by Mr.. Robinson concerning the build

sideration by the United States Emer-

WOOD MAY STAY IN EUROPE.
Trained Army Officer to Give Allies
Benefit Of Experience.

| Washington, Feb. 4-One Of the most
hopeful signs Of doference on the ad-
ministration's part to the views or men
! in congress and out, that the best minds
available should be employed to help
| the United States win the war. is found
| in a hint conveyed that Maj. Gen. Wood
is to have a prominent part in the
super war councils in Europe. 1t was
inferred from what was said that Gem
eral Wood, who Is now In France,
would be consulted by representatives
Of the government with reference 20
the best means OF employing the
American forces abroad. General Wood
was sent to France in line with the
purpose Of the war Department to have
every commander Of a division spend
period Of inspection and observation IN
the theatre Of war, and then return to
his command in the United States The
guarded statement was made that the
administration contemplated keeping
general Wood in Europe and giving him
a prominent place in military councils.
The hatchet was buried today by Sec
rotary Baker and Senator Chamber
lain. They had luncheon together at
the Capitol at Mr.. Bakers suggestion
and discussed some Of the things that
had arisen to cause bad feeling be-
tween Mr.. Chamberlain and the ad-
ministration. 1t is understood. how
ever, that their discussion Of the war
cabinet bill and the dictatorship OF
munitions bill was incidental !ndicat-
ing that the main purpose Of the con-
ference had to do with other things.
At Senator Chamberlains suggestion
Secretary Baker took away from the
Capitol copies Of the two measures and
promised to study them.
The whole effort Of the admin
istration Is being directed toward CEN
tralizing control Of war activities. and
observers find it difficult to escape the
conviction that this new order Of things
Is due to the evidence given before the
Committee on military affairs and the
criticism Of Senator Chamberlain in
his speech in New York last Saturday
and his answer in the Senate to Pres
ident Wilson's attack on him. There
have been reforms in the administra-
ton Of the war department directly
due to the revelations before the senate
committee. More reforms are IN
prospect, it was learned today.

Secretary Lansing admitted this nf-
ternoon that Ambassador Francis had
sent to the state department message
In confirmation of the press stories
from Petrograd about the warning that

that tho ambassador expressed no
alarm and he added that nothing

state department until it had heard
further from Mr.. Francis regarding the
threats.
This Is not the first time that threats
have been made against tho safety OF
Ambassador Francis. Recently. while
he was entertaining some guests. he
was coming to tho embassy to protest
to him against the action taken in the
Mooney case at San Francisco. He
asked his guests to leave. and when
the crowd surged into tho embassy
Mr. Francis faced them with a revolver,

them thru an interpreter that they
were trespasslng on American terri
tory. The intruders finally left with
