AMBASSADOR TO SEE ALFONSO
King OF Spain May Decline to Re-

Firm Attitude. 'A''e Z" r. ~

BASEL (via Paris). August 25.-The
crisis between Germany and Spain
over the U-boat controversy has been
further intensified by Germany's re-
ported nonacceptance OF Spain's pro-
test against the continued German
submarine offensive on Spanish ship
ping. In that protest Spain had
threatened to confiscate an informed
German vessel for every Spanish ship
hereafter sunk by a U-boat Germany,
according to the official Nord Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung, has declined to
accept the Spanish position.
In diplomatic circles it is reported
that Berlin objects particularly to the
Gnr G1hrea.ening tone aaopted by Spain.
Germany fears crawl in response
TO the Spanish threat would greatly
impair her prestige, not alone with the
neu.rais. but with her allies with whom
German dictatorial influence already
has been gravely shaken by the Ger
man defeats in the west. The consen-
sus of political observers is that Ger

Madrid advices to the German press
state that the German ambassador 10
Spain has gone to Santander to see
King Alfonso personally.
1t Is by no means certain, according
to weil-informed observers of the In
ternational situation, that Alfonso will
see the German envoy.
All reports from Madrid agree that
Spain. after four years of long suffer
ing and patience involving hardships
and humiliation, has finally made up
her mind to adopt an answering at
titude of defiance toward the German
U-boat offensive. and that the Span
ish government is at last fully resolved
to take all consequences Of such an
attitude.
The next few days. therefore, are
expected to bring either n German
backdown or sharpening of the
crisis which may enlist Spain definitely
