NICE, France, July 6.-Vicente
Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist,
and Nine. Dona Elena Ortuzar Bull
nez, widow of Chilean diplomat,
were married at Mentone Saturday.
The wedding was extremely quiet. be-
ing attended only by the witnesses.
The first wife of Vicente Blasco
Ibanez died in Valencia, Spain, in
January last. She had been i'll for
many years, but the novelist declared
her. death was due directly to the
seizure of his property in Spain be
cause of his writings against the
Spanish monarch and the military di-
rectorate.

COMMERCIAL PACT
| OF US. is PRAISED
Treaty With Germany to Be
Model for OtherS-Fair-
ness Is Lauded.
BY the Associated Press.

The question of future commercial
intercourse, as well as of diplomatic
relations, is occupying the chanceries
of the Washington diplomatic corps.
Since the Senate ratified the COM
mercial treaty with Germany, drafted
as a standard for similar pacts with
other countries, diplomatic agents
have busted themselves in studying 1t
and forwarding reports to their gov
ernmentS.
Opinions in foreign circles, varying
according to the commercial situation
in the different countries, are gener-
ally unanimous in condemning certain
provisions of the standard treaty,
while praising others. Most of the
European nations are dealing with the
United States under very old COM
mercial treaties and 1t is realized these
soon will have to be brought up TO
date.
Evening star., 1925-07-06
No Treaty With Turkey.

In the case of Turkey, no treaty,
commercial or otherwise, now exists.
Actual intercourse Is proceeding, how
ever, without serious embarrassment
to American business and other inter
ests in Turkey. The Senate failed at
the last session to ratify the treaty
with Turkey and 1t is expected the
situation will remain unchanged until
the Senate meets in December. Rear
Admiral Bristol. now acting as Amer
lean high commissioner in Turkey,
will continue to handle American in
terests there until a more satisfactory
relationship is established
The principal opposition in foreign
quarters to the German commercial
treaty is in the Senate reservation
under which Congress retains power,
after one year, to revoke those clauses
which stipulate that no preferential
treatment shall be accorded American
shipping or goods transported In
American bottoms, without allowing
identical advantages to German goods
and shipping. AS against this, how
ever, foreign diplomats consider that
that United States accepted for the
first time in the treaty the European
conception of favored nation treat
ment.'
Fairness Is Praised.
This clause is set forth in Article
VII of the treaty, which reads:
Each of the two high contracting
parties binds itself to give to the
nationals, vessels and goods of the
other the advantage of every favor.
privilege or immunity which 1t shall
have accorded to the nationals, vessels
and goods of a third state, and re-
gardless of whether such favored
state shall have been accorded such
treatment gratuitously or in return
for reciprocal compensatory treat
ment."
1t is held by some of the diplomats,
however. that satisfactory commerce
with the United States can only be
established by trade policy covering
a long stretch of years.
On the whole, the most influential
diplomatic counselors here believe the
various objections brought against
the treaty are not of sufficient impor-
lance to overbalance the general spirit
of the agreement. They hold that the
document was drawn with the inten-
ton of initiating a policy of rigorous
and universal equality of commercial
treatment This attitude they hold
TO be fair. The attitude toward the
European conception of favored ma
ton" treatment is ascribed in the
same circles to the need of American
Industries to acquire and hold foreign
markets.

Subtreasury before the other party
had completed its work on the Dyers

of gold and securities had been slowed
the parties combined forces on the
Treasury. We appeared to waste no

perience, an hour and 20 minutes had
passed before our last haul was

just around the corner of the street

less to try our ray upon her, for she
had the force Of gravity to bring her.
But we opened the gas Jets about
the ship, making a cloud Of anaes-

the steady rise of the ship that the
plane was bound to miss us, but we
were sadly mistaken. The pilot knew
his business. Before we realized

was somehow immune from our gas

cloud, but got off a burst of she'll fire

where we swung sou'westerly in
arched line for the plateau
1t was now apparent to us that we
had put very effective spoke in the
wheel of the worlds business and had
stirred Europe and America into a
state of apprehe tension and mysti-
fed anger. 1t was plain, too, that
drastic measures would be taken to
run US to earth, now that 1t was
definitely known the raids were accom-
plished by Airship. We determined
to demonstrate our powers by day
light. and give those who chased us
every chance to meet us If they could.
Our raids on Europe took place on
a week end I'm April, and our next
raid, which was by daylight on ship
ping along the South African route
from England, took place on the first
Sunday In May. We knew from the
wireless messages which we picked
up that many aeroplanes were after
US, and later, when we had skipped
back to the plateau, messages ema-
mating from one particular plane, the
Merlin. showed that we were being

to the west of the island. There we
lay snug until the first peep of day,
when we unhltched to hy northward
TO intercept q Union Castle liner.
This time we were unaware that the
ubiquitous Merlin was close behind
us.
We had dropped our gas cloud and
swept the ship with 1t. We had
grappled our gondola to her side. 1t
was a raid OF terror, merely, but we
broke into the strong room as a mat

enough to justify abstraction, but we
were helping ourselves to the ships

seconds, and we had the gondola into

BY this time we had to turn our
attention to the cruiser, which was

which gave us Information OF the
Parnassic. We saw the oil tanker
Westbury early and mark ed her
course for further use.
We saw the Parnassic long before
we attacked her. Indeed, we followed
her easily for an hour before we shot
ahead to lower the red riding lamp
which stopped her. We had dropped
our gas in readiness in her path, and
when she hove to we unanswered 1t
about her. We then swooped down
alongside and laid the gondola close
by. Our piracy occupied 40 minutes.
It was pitiful TO see the ship 80
helpless, and the sight affected the
marines among us very strangely,
but there was no ice In the sea near
by, or the chief certainly would have
taken measures to restore some of
the ships company to consciousness
before leaving. 49,.
We now sped after the westbury.
The only thing remarkable about this
raid was the extraordinary trucu-
lence--by wireless phone--of her
Yankee skipper. He seemed to bear
little love for the navy of his country,
and one would have thought that a
warning to heave to was the biggest
insult he had ever had In his life.
But that rasping voice was soon
stilled by our gas, and we had little
difficulty in helping ourselves to the
shippers excellent aviation spirit.
These raids accomplished, we cir
cled wide out to the Atlantic, and
were snugged down in the cavern by
dusk.
IL
The news we had of the effect of
our raids was meager, for we picked
up very little through our wireless,
but that we had created a deep i'm
preston we felt sure.
a fortnight after the New York
raid we descended on Louisville, and
there, besides making off with gold
and foodstuffs and petrol, we robbed
the newspaper files in one of the
banks. a point that has escaped no
tice. From these journals we gained
an idea Of the turmoil and consterna-
ton our raids had caused.
Among other things we noticed was
the fact that the business chaos We
intended to bring about by taking
the securities had been lessened by
their speedy return TO the proper
quarters, and since the idea was to
disturb business as much as possible
as a preliminary to our further plans,
we decided that there should be no
such mistakes made in future raids
1t was only because this point had
not yet occurred to us that we held
to our first procedure in dealing with
the Louisville bonds. We had not, of
course, then read the newspapers.
The gold which we had collected
up TO this time we melted and recast
into ingots of our own design. The
gold was of no value to us, in view
Of certain powers within the hand of
our leader.
Our next raids were TO test
the staying powers of the Ark
of the Covenant TO the full. We
knew from chance messages picked
up that the air police of America
were active in their lookout, but OF
