u. S. EMBASSY AGAIN APPEALS
TO AMERICANS TO QUIT SPAIN
Message Urgent; Embassy
at Madrid May Be
Closed Any Time

MADRID. Aug. 81. (UP).-The
United States embassy appealed
again last night to Americans in
Spain to leave the war-torn coun-
try. The appeal was urgent and
sharply worded and implied that
the embassy would make no fur
ther effort at removal of it's ma
tionals after this week.
"The embassy and the consul
late have brought to the attention
of all American citizens in Ma
drid on several occasions, both in
writing and orally, the advisable
ity of leaving for places of safe
ty," last nights plea read.
"The government of the United
States has at considerable expense
made available American naval
and commercial vessels to evacu-
ate nationals. Americans have
been urged repeatedly to take ad-
vantage of these facilities for
leaving. 1t is desired to again
make clearest that all American
citizens who remain in Spain do
so at their own risk and upon
their own responsibility.
"It is now thought probable
that an American naval vessel
may be at Alicante and Valencia
during the coming week, possibly
Wednesday, and Americans are
urged most strongly to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
leave. The government cannot
continue to have naval vessels
available indefinitely and it is pos
sible that this may be the last op-
portunity TO leave by an Ameri,
can boat"
The appeal revealed that the
embassy may be closed if further
events should warrant it. ..
"It should be borne in minc
that no assurance can be giver
that circumstances may not arise
making it necessary to close. the
embassy which would result II
the lack Of a general place of ref
uge for Americans in Madrid," the
embassy statement said.
