Announces Rough Treatment" :
Spanish Ships Will Continue.

BERLIN, January 2 tP1.-German
warships will continue rough treat
ment" Of Spanish shipping until Na1
vessels are respected on the high seas,
the foreign Office announced tonight
through its mouthpiece, Diplomatische
Politische Korrespondenz.
The warning-apparently intended
as q threat to Spanish authorities at
Bilbao-came on the heels Of an off,
cial announcement that German war
ships had "retaliated" against two
Spanish vessels.
One-the freighter Aragon-was
seized. The other-the freighter So
ton-was driven ashore by shellfire.
The propaganda ministry, detailing
what 1t called two independent
actions. said the pocket battleship
Spanish freighter Aragon and that
the cruiser Koenigsberg had forced
the freighter Soton ashore on the
Basque coast.
Onicials professed not to know
where the Admiral Graf Spec had
taken the Aragon.
A foreign office spokesman, at the
same time, disclaimed that the Ger
man naval action meant that we are
trying to provoke more trouble in
SPAIN" and said "it Is really quite
simple" The spokesman continued:
THE German freightes Palos was
seized on the high seas, 70 miles from
the Spanish coast.
Therefore she clearly was . victim
OF an act OF piracy.

sour action toward the Spanish
steamer (Soton) yesterday merely
emphasized the governments deter
mination to get genuine restitution for
the steamer Palos incident. We want
the Palos Just as 1t was seized--her
cargo intact and all her passengers"
The Palos was released by the
Bilbao. but part OF the cargo con-
sidered war material" and one Spanish
passenger were retained
The spokesman explained 1t would
be easier for outsiders" to understand
the German retaliation II they could
imagine It was a British steamer which
had been seized on the high seas.
mo great power could for q mo-
ment permit such an act OF piracy
without retaliation" he added. How
ever. the whole case can be quickly
lquidated by prompt restitution OF
the Palos cargo and the Spanish
passenger"
Soton Incident Described.
The Soton incident of yesterday
vas described ofncially as follows:
In pursuance Of retaliatory meas
ures instituted by German warships
as result Of the withholding OF a
portion Of the cargo and a passenger
Of the German freighter Paios-
which was seized outside the three
mile limit by Red Spanish naval
forces-the German cruiser Koenigs-
berg on January signaled the
Spanish steamer Soton to halt.
"Inasmuch as the steamer failed
10 obey this demand. the cruiser first
bred two blank shots and then
when those produced no results-fired
several shells close to the steamer
"The steamer. still attempting to es-
cape. ran aground outside Santona
Harbor and was voluntarily deserted
oy her crew. The crew was taken to
land in a Spanish fishing smack
"The Koenigsberg then resumed her
course. No members of the Soton's
crew are aboard the Koenigsberg."

PLANE ROUTs CRUISER.
German Vessel Retires After Freighter
Is Run Aground.


BAYONNE, France, January 2 (R.-
Dispatches from the Spanish Socialist
city OF Bilbao today said the Spanish
armed freighter Soton had escaped
capture by the Nazi cruiser Koenigs-
berg after a government airplane
forced the German warship to retire.
The Soton was reported to have
escaped capture by running aground
on the Spanish coast during a ma
neuver in which the Koenigsberg
opened fire on the freighter.
A government plane was said to have
flown over the Koenigsberg which then
retired, the dispatches said, outside Of
Spanish territorial waters.
The Soton was reported undamaged
and able to continue toward Santander
dispatches to European capitals
had variously reported the capture Of
the Soton by the Koenigsberg and the
seizing Of the government merchant
man Aragon by the German battle
ship Admiral Graf Spec.
(Whether the reported escape of
the Soton gave rise to both stories or
whether the Aragon actually had been
captured was not known.
Gan official communique from Ber-
lin announced the capture Of an un-
named Spanish steamer by q German
warship)
Runs Freighter Aground.
The Bilbao dispatches said the Koe-
nigsberg was cruising along the coast
yesterday when it signaled the Soton,
which was proceeding from Bilbao to
Santander.
The captain Of the cruiser was said
to have demanded one OF the Sotons
officers come aboard the Koenigsberg
and the second officer complied.
Aboard the Nazi cruiser, the reports
said, he was asked to sign a declara-
ton recognizing the Soton had been
halted in retaliation for the seizure
Of the freighter Palos by Basque ma
tionalists of Bilbao.
The Soton also was ordered to
change its route and 60 to an insur-
gent port under escort OF the Koenigs-
berg, the dispatches reported.
The second ofiicer was said then TO
have returned to the Soton and in
formed the captain Of the German
demand, wherupon he ordered full
steam toward shore running the
freighter aground.
The Koenigsberg was said to have
opened fire Immediately but failed to
score q hit.
Plane Comes to Rescue.
Then as a Spanish government
plane few to the rescue and circled
low over the Koenigsberg, the German
ship. the Bilbao report said. ceased
firing and put out TO sea.
A few hours later the Soton sue
ceeded In returning to dep water and
continued toward Santander.
The Bilbao reports said the fact the
Soton was able to run aground a few
moments after being accosted proved
it was within Spanish territorial
waters when attacked by the German
cruiser.

|DENY STAGNAT|0N
IN IRISH INDUSTRY
Two Defenders of Republic
Take Exception to Ar
ticIe's Charges.

Disputing an assertion in last Sun
days Star by A. G. Gardiner that Ire
land has suffered from business and
industrial stagnation, Charles Edward
Russell and Andrew j. Hickey declared
in letter to The Star today that the
Free State has made marked progress
in promoting industrial and business
advances.
Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Hickey form
the Publicity Committee of Kelvin
Barry Council, American Association
for the Recognition of the Irish Re-
public. In addition to denying the
allegations of industrial stagnation.
they took exception to Mr.. GARDENERS
description of the government about
to be inaugurated in Ireland as a
dictatorship"
Labor Migration Explained.
Their letter to The Star follows
in part:
ITO maintain his thesis, Mr.. Gar
diner cites the fact that of late there
has been considerable movement of
workers from Ireland to England and
Scotland. He does not mention that
this movement is due to the vast and
feverish rearmament activities of
Britain, where with factories working
night and day upon illimitable war
material, there is naturally great
increase in the demand for labor and
an advance in wage levels.
AS to the rest of Mr.. Gardeners
assertions, records and statistics afford
an overwhelming refutation. His whole
argument of stagnation in Ireland is
shattered by the extensive and elab-
crate survey of Ireland's economic
condition recently concluded by the
Manchester Guardians Commercial
Edition, by the observations of every
American visitor, and by wide range
OF official statistics covering every
phase OF business and productive &C.
tivity. All of this testimony is to the
effect that in Ireland recovery from
the depression has been more marked
than in any other country in Europe
New Industries Cited.
In its issue of June 4, 1887, which
is before us as We write, the Guardians
Commercial sums its survey thus. after
enumerating the 700 new factories that
nave been established in Ireland since
the advent of Fianna Fail 600 of
them being in entirely new indus
tries):
This list is necessarily short and
incomplete, but it does indicate that
the Free States Ureland's) industrial
drive is a well-marked feature of the
national economy that has not merely
touched the surface but plowed well
into the ground. Although the five
years industrial planning in the Free
State-from 1882 to 1937-is not so
spectacular nor so well publicized as
the flve-year plan in Russia, it is none
the less remarkable achievement.
Trade statistics show that more than
$7,5o0,000 was paid in wages in the
principal industries in 1884 and 1895
above the sums paid in 1881. Increased
employment is also computed to be UP
directly 20,500 and indirectly up TO-
600 more over this period Evidently
there is no stagnation here.

ferrous than Mr.. GARDENERS intimations

small group of Washington women
who collect discarded household ar

for the destitute-has appealed to the
public for cooperation. The novel
and self-explanatory poem below
pleads its own cause.
