INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Out of the "PalOs" case described
in this column week ago a world
sensation has grown. and it is at the
moment of writing impossible to for
see what further qualifications will
result. 1t will be recalled that the
legitimist Spanish government cap
tured the German steamer, Palos,'
on the alleged ground that it carried
contraband war material for the fas-
cist rebels. Germany Immediately de-
manded the release of the vessel be-
cause, Berlin said, it bad been cap
tured in international waters, there
fore in violation of International law.
Spain, on the other hand, asserted
that the capture was perfectly legal
since the ship, carrying a forbidden
cargo, had been taken in Spanish
waters.
Madrid Yields, Partly.
Came then a threat from Germany
"a threat of reprisals of undescribed
nature, unless Spain yielded. And
Spain did-to a certain extent: The
Madrid government released the ship
but kept its cargo and also interned
a Spanish passenger said to be a
rebel.
This did not satisfy Germany, and
so the highly modern cruiser. "Koe-
nigsberg," was directed to Spanish
waters with orders to stop and search
all ships that sailed under the flag
of the Madrid government In short
order the German cruiser then cap
tured three Spanish merchant YES
sells, the "Soton," the "Aragon" and
the Marta Junquera"; the Madrid
government protested vigorously but
to no avail.
In Paris the Spanish ambassador
declared that Germany's high-handed
action constituted direct act of war.
Further Complications.
The commander of the "Koenigs-
berg" made repeated statements that
he would not stop capturing Spanish
ships unless the ''Palos" cargo and
the interned passenger were released.
And this is how the matter stands
when these lines are being written.
BY the time they are being read, the
picture may look entirely different,
one way or the other.

STURGEON GIRL

Miss Marjorie Beccue and Mr.. Roger

Years day when Miss Marjorie Beccue

Rev. d. w. Thompson officiating. The
grOom's home is at LeSueur and the

Herman Beccue living east of Stur-
geon Lake.
Miss Mildred Beccue, sister of the
bride, was bridesmaid and Peter Men
ten of LeSueur, was best man. The

Mr.. Larson was treated to a party
Monday by his friends and relatives.
the like of which has become an an
nual event. He is feeling we'll and
the event marked the 9th observance
of his birth.
Many are the experiences and var
led Mr.. Larson has enjoyed during his
long life, for in going back to the year
of his birth, one finds that Minnesota
was not yet state and that a great
part of the territory west of the Mis-
sissippi was still roamed by buffalo
and Indians.
OF course Mr.. Larson was not in the
United States at that time, because
being a native of Sweden he did not
come to this country until in July,
1892, when he came directly to the
section of Pine county which is now
within the trade district of Askov. He
is truly Pine county pioneer and has
reared large family of children
who are source of great happiness
to him.
Friends far and wide join with rel
atives in wishing for him many
more years of health and happiness
in the midst of his family circle.
