ereignty and to affirm her rights as q
neutral nation.
The first step is to provide for the
requisition Of interned German ton
mage equivalent to submarine sink
ings. When the German submarines
torpedoed the Spanish steamer bring
ing home the Spanish minister to
Greece, after Berlin had been noti-
fed that the minister was a pas
senger, 1t would seem that the limit
Of tolerance had been reached. but
all that the Madrid government dared
do at the time was to make "ener-
getic protest." which, of course, Berlin
contemptuously brushed aside. At
last a more resolute policy has been
adopted, although advices from Ber-
lin, by way Of Switzerland, say that
Germany refuses to accept the Span
ish ultimatum regarding requisition
of interned German tonnage eQuiva-
lent to future submarine sinkings.
If the government at Madrid keeps
it's spunk what Berlin accepts or re-
fuses to accept will be of little mo-
ment.
The German ships in the harbors OF
Spain were interned in accordance
with international law at the begin
ming of the war. Notwithstanding
that Spain lost much of her own ton
mage through the German sub
marines, these shipC were allowed to
remain idle. Their officers accord
ing to reports received, acted as If
they were still the masters and the
Spanish authorities their servants.

BY CHARLES M. PEPPER.


- PAIN Is gradually becoming pro-
ally. King Alfonso and the
. people always have been pro-
ally, but there have been strong
pro-German influences at the
court and in the army. Commercial In
terests also have been pro-German.
There are several reasons for the
change. The principal one is the
military successes of the allies.
Spain is not SO much exposed to
German reprisals as are the Scandana-
Wan countries, but she Is not outside the
sphere Of Germany's vengeance in the
event of the ultimate triumph of the
Huns. When it seemed possible that
German armies might reach the
channel ports, take Paris and secure
negotiated peace which would
affirm German victory, the pro-Ger-
man party in Spain was in high
feather 1t had long since ceased to
be Apologize. 1t was able to justify
itself by claiming that open marks of
friendship for Germany would be the
best guarantee of~Spain's position in
the future.
Then came Gen. Foch's offensive,
the wrestling of the initiative from
the Germans and the hammer strokes
that have steadily followed. In con-
sequence. the pro-German party in
Spain is now on the defensive and Is
even apologize, while the pro-ally
elements are making their policy
clearly known.
Spain has had plenty Of causes for
declaring war against Germany. Her
ships have been destroyed, her neu-
trality contemptuously flouted, her
commerce harried and even her in
ternal politics interfered with. The
German propaganda in this respect
was less insidious than in some other
neutral countries because apparently
there was no fear of being brought to
book by open intrigues. Attempts
were made to determine the course of
political parties and by. that means to
itself. The army element and the
court faction made no secret of their
plans.
Much of the time while this German
eminent of King Alfonso has been
helpless. Internal political conditions
threatened revolutions, as in Cata-
!onia, which in peace periods are not
taken very seriously, became very
grave when nearly all of Europe was
at war, and Spain was not entirely
free agent.
This uncertainty might have gone
on indefinitely, with Germany con-
tinuing to use Spain as wireless
station and virtually as a base of
military operations had not Gen.

dltions come about. Now King

TIME Office Of the surgeon general
of the Army is taking the keen
i est interest in the physical coLdi-
ton Of Army fiiers and aviation
students in the camps. In this respect
1t Is working in cooperation with the
division of military aeronautics to keep
the f1iers in the pink of condition with
out letting them go stale. 1t is seeking
to prevent accidents, but since it is GER
tain that they will occur, it is now
providing ship hospitals for avia-
ton fields. The new style of hos
pital is an arplane fitted up with first
aid appliances, primary surgical in
struments and all devices neces-
sary for the immediate relief of an in
jured aviator. The machine body is so
designed that an injured man may be
placed at length on a stretcher for the
to the base hospital. In the near future
they will also be provided with tents, 50
that If it be imprudent to move the pa
tient he can be fully protected until
conditions for his removal are favorable.
These Flying hospitals" bear the de-
bodies and carry all the insignia of the
hospital.
1t not infrequently happens that flier
Is injured at distance Of ten miles Or
more from his base hospital. Hitherto
the method Of giving him aid has been to
send motor ambulance to him. This
takes time, and In the event Of serious
injury the rough passage back to camp
not only takes more time, but adds to
the suffering Of the patient. AS every
minute in cases Of this sort Is precious
1t Is easy to see the advantage that may
come from the Introduction of these
ship hospitals" The flight surgeon
has complete control Of these machines
and 1t Is usually his duty in case Of
accident to fly to the injured man. The
flight surgeon, under the regulations,
must himself be able to do straight fly
ing and make landings, although he has
a pilot to handle the machine.
Military aeronautlcs has introduced
this new ambulance service into the fly
ing camps at Gersten, Ellington and
Kelly fields, and will provide 1t for ali
other aviation fields in this country and
also In places where recommended
abroad. 1t Is the avowed intention Of
the surgeon generals office to cooperate
with military aeronautics in every pos
sible way to maintain the health and in
case of need give surgical aid in all
aviation cases. Brig. Gen. Lyster, Medi-
col Corps, who Is at the head of this
division, has taken the active part in
this organization.
