GERMANY AND SPAIN
CLOSE TO BREAKING

WASHINGTON, August 26-(Asso-
ciated Press)-4Berlin papers, according
to advices received here, regard the sit
uation that has grown up between
Spain and Germany out of the notes
relative to proposed taking of German
interned ships in compensation for sub
marine losses inflicted on Spanish ship
ping, as critical in the extreme.
These papers are quoted as declar-
ing that the Spanish note is unfriend-
ly and that Germany cannot consent
to such action although Willing to
compensate for losses after the war has
been VIGOROUSLY ended. The papers
agree that Grmany cannot abandon it's
suOmarine campaign nor modify it to
suit the desires of Spain and an open
rupture can be avoided only with the
geatest difficulty.
