The Spanish situation took a
sraver international turn today al
ter aerial attacks on British ship,
two French ships and an Italian
ship in the Mediterranean.
British ships have been fired on
before, but in Spanish territorial
waters. and Britain has accepted
the situation. In this instance,
however, the ship apparently was on
the high seas, 40 miles west of AL
giers. q.
Britain protested strongly to the
Insurgents, having been advised by
the consul general at A,giers that
the attacking planes apparently
We're Insurgent.
Three planes dropped about 40
bombs and then turned machine
gun fire on the ship. There were
many direct hits.

If the deal succeeds, the Leviathan

Loyalists sent up artillery and at
the same time started a flanking
attack. Nationalists retreated, the
Loyalists asserted, and Moorish ma
chine gunners were left to fight a
rear guard action.
Dynamiters were sent out against
the machine gun nests, it was as

found, refusing to take prisoners
or spare the wounded because of
alleged mutilation of Loyalists by

Piles, we resent her Use Of the machine
to attack and break down standards
of living, and we are entirely out of
sympathy with her cult of the soldier
and her emperor worship. We would
fear her too great and rapid success.
At the same time, we recognize the
pressure of her population, her energy
and organization and her bravery. But
we do not feel that weaker peoples
should suffer or the nations in more
advanced circumstances should be
pulled back to help her out.
3. We would like some one else to
stop Japan. Those whom she has at
tackled most directly-China and Rus
sia territorially Britain commercially
should handle the job Meanwhile
we should keep Navy big enough to
do the job in emergency, but not use
1t except to protect our territory.
All Trying to Pass Buck.
Because Americans at large feel as
they do the State Department has for
long time been trying to unload the
japanese problem onto China, Russia
and Britain. And Britain, similarly,
has been trying to pass it on to Russia
and Uncle Sam, while Russia has been
trying to shift it over to Britain and
us. China has been eager to drop it
into any ones hands-in fact, China
originated this type of statecraft.
Britain has had the best excuse-that
she has been held up by the guns Of
gangster nations in Europe Yet she
has temporized and flirted with these
gangsters-since she failed to unload
them on the League at Geneva.
Japan discovered this general will
ingness to let the other fellow stop
her in 1881, and she has been having
a glorious time since-until the coun-
try which she attacked most directly,
and from which she least expected re-
sistance, China, was reinforced by
American airplanes and war budget
suddenly created by our purchase OF
her silver, and aided by good deal OF
Russia materiel. Now Japan is begged
down-by Chinese soldiers and general
rains. The campaign as she conceived
it would be over by this time save that
this has turned out to be one of the
heaviest and latest rainy seasons in
