KING COCKTAIL
MAKES BOW

Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, King Edward XIII estab-
lished himself as bartender here
last night when "Ozzie" Roberts,
of the Mayflower Hotel, treated
Washington newsmen to the King
Edward" cocktail.
Invented by the British monarch
last week as he vacationed in Yugo-
slaVia, the drink is a mixture of
gin, Dalmatian liquor, Dalmatian
champagne, a bit of sugar and
slices of lemon and orange, shaken
with ice.
Jack" who presided over the
portable bar, didn't have any
Dalmation liquor and Dalmatian
champagne, so Ozzie said, as it
is unobtainable in this country
because of treaty regulations.
So Jack" substituted ChartreuSe
for the liquor and found some
champagne in the MayfloWer eel
lars from the east coast Of italy
some 80 miles from Dalmatia.
There was no one to question
the propriety of the substitu-
lions and all seemed willing to
accept Jacks word that the in
gradients were near enough"
The boys were frankly skeptical
as they tasted the first drink or
two and several murmurs pointed
out that the concoction was
punch rather than a cocktail.
But the scoffers remained to
drink later. All agreed that Ed
ward was a good old king and
swell bartender.

The United States Battleship
Oklahoma anchored in BARGE
lona's outer harbor today to find
it bristling with warships of four
powers as a result of SPANS
bloody fratricidal conflict.
In the harbor were the Italian
cruiser Alberto Di Guissano, the
destroyer PeSSagno and the hos
pital ship Tevere; the British
cruiser London and the destroyers
Greyhound and Griffin; the
French cruiser Colbert and de-
stroyer Brestois, and the German
battleShip Deutschland and de-
stroyer Kondor.
United States Consul Lynn W.

and stated Barcelona refugees
were evacuating to MarSeilles,
France, aboard British ship this
afternoon.
While the Oklahoma was in the
harbor three large German pas
senger planes flew over the ship
en- route to Barcelona. The Okla
homa is scheduled to sail for Mar

While en- route to Barcelona,
radical Spanish airplane bombs
tipping through the air and
SplaShing into the waters of Palma
Bay, Majorca, within a few yards
of the Italian cruiser Fiume,
threatening new international
complications, were witnessed last
night from the Oklahoma'S decks.
Americans who left on the Okla

Farley to Strengthen
Rome-BerIin Accord
on Spain

Europe's Fascist lineup may be
strengthened as a result Of SPANS
civil war, it was expected today,
as unconfirmed reports circulated
here that Premier MuSsolini is
sounding out Germany on her at
titude should Italy occupy the
Balearic Islands.
Official German quarters fatty
denied the reports concerning
Mussolini, which buzzed through
Berlin while Chancellor Hitler as
sumed direct control of Ger

pected to increase their solidarity
at reported forthcoming parley
at Hinterries, Switzerland, where
Admiral Nicholas Horthy, regent
of Hungary; Franz Won Papen,
German ambassador to Vienna:
Ambassador Salata, Italian envoy
to Vienna, and possibly Chancel-
lor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria
may meet as "vacationiSts" during
the next few days.
Meanwhile, Hitler, from his
alpine home above Obersalzburg,
personally directed movements of
German warShips in Spanish
waters or en- route there.
Admiral General Erich Raeder,
the Reich naval minister, and
other members of the naval gen
eral staff, are at his side and the
commanders of the two German
squadronS, Rear Admiral Rolf
CarlS, now in the Mediterranean,
and Rear Admiral Boehm, en-
route, were instructed to maintain
constant touch with Hitler.
Ships Speed to Spain
The explosive situation was
mitigated somewhat, however, by
the official statement today that
Madrid had given complete salts

Germans near Barcelona early in
the civil strife. Whether any in
demnity was paid was not stated.
Speeding at Is knots, following
Germany's protest to Spain over

squadron, led by the flagship Graf
Spec, was believed to have passed

j. 5. REFUSES
TO MIDDLE
IN SPAIN
Mediation Proposal Of
Uruguay Declared
Contrary to Policy


In the face of increasing pres
sure, the United States Govern
ment today emphatically reaf-
firmed its determined stand Of
noninterference in SPANS bloody
conflict.
In terms that left no room for
equivocation, it rejected the Uru-
guayan proposal that American
countries join together to medi'
ate thes civil war.
"This country is committed to
the principle of nOninterference
in the internal affairs of other
countries"
Acting Secretary of State VIII
liam Phillips thus reminded the
Uruguayan minister, Jose Rich,
ling.
Phillips called attention to the
instructions sent American diplo,
matte and consular representatives
in Spain and adjoining countries
early this month
He said these instructions "em-
bodied summing up OF this gov
ernment's position and policy"
This attitude, Phillips explained
in his note, is that
"In conformity with its pol
Icy of nOn-interference in the
internal affairs of other cOun-
tries, this government will scru-
pulOusly refrain from interfer-
ence in the unfortunate Situa-
ton which now exists in Spain"
Phillips said the American Gov
eminent is "actuated by a pro
found and constant desire for
peace" and wishes to give support
wherever practicable to the prin
ciple of Cancellation" but that its
policy of non-interference made
acceptance of the Uruguayan me.
diation invitation impossible.
Useful Purpose Doubted
He continued:
after most careful cOnSidera.
ton Of all the circumstances
involved, we are constrained to
believe that the prospect that
such an offer as is suggested
would serve a useful purpose, is
not such as to warrant a de-
parture by this government
from its well established policy.
Il am confident that, in the
light of the foregoing, the gov
eminent of Uruguay will fully
understand why this government
finds itself unable to accept the
suggestion that it participate in
any offer or mediation in the
Spanish conflict"
