INTERNATIONAL FIGHT
Subsequently it has developed that
the Spanish trouble is not, in reality
civil.
Britain, France and Russia favor
the Spanish loyalists
Italy and Germany favor the Span
ish rebels.
These five countries have pretend
ed to maintain a policy of joint neu-
trality in Spain, but every one knows
that that has been largely hypo-
critical
Maybe there has been a modicum
of good faith as to Britain, France
and Russia. Italy and Germany motor
iously have been helping the Spanish
rebels; of late they have been help
ing the latter avowedly- as "re-
prisals.'
SPAIN THE BATTLE-GROUND
In short. the Spanish loyalists have
recognized the Germans and italians
as enemies-by shooting at them.
The Germans have retaliated, and
the Italians support them.
1t is war for Spain between Brit
ain, France and Russia versus Italy
and Germany.
But Britain, France and Russia
have been fairly circumspect.
1t is difficult for Uncle Sam to shut
off their supplies on the ground that
they will pass them on to the Spanish
loyalists.
On the opposite hand, every one
with an ounce Of sense is aware that
Italy and Germany are passing on
help to the Spanish rebels.
Then, what is Uncle Sam to do?-
Ban shipments to everybody as bel
ligerents in general?-when he isn't
sure that Britain, France and Russia
are on belligerent status, as we'll as
Italy and Germany?
Or ban shipments exclusively to
Italy and Germany?- Thereby imply
ing that they alone are the mischief
makers?
Uncle Samuel cannot help taking
sides, either way.

there never will be another primary
campaign that cost them as much as
the 1886 one did.
But the biggest factor is regarded
as being the party harmony factor

Macdonald forces have already be-

the fact they have no burning issue
left-the sales tax died as an issue

campaign between Reynolds and ane

be like flirting with a healthy bull!

Raleigh schools operated only eight
months this past year.

SCHOOLS here. Since The tax being vot-
ed on today is only II cents as com
pared with the 25 cents sought a wear
ago and in view of better conditions
and an increased demand for a long
er school term, the belief in most cir
cles here today is that the supple
mental tax will be approved.
The principal danger in todays cleo
ton, according to Superintendent
Gaddy and those interested in having
the supplemental tax approved, is
that the voting is against the regis
tratlon and that a majority of those
registered must vote for the supple
ment, else it will be defeated. For
even though a person does not vote at
all, if he or she is registered, the fail
ure to vote is equal to vote against
the supplemental tax Accordingly.
those favoring the longer term are
making every effort possible to see
that those who registered vote for the
lax.

lie he wanted political office he could

In the cabinet, or an ambassador or

offers of this sort have been declined.
Ihey believe that Max would rather

much prefers to give orders rather
than to take them, especially when
