SPAIN PREPARING.
Spain is going inlo the war. That
may not be true in a few days, be
cause the play of the diplomats may
change the front, but there are half
a dozen agents in the United States
bitving munitions of war and saying
that Spain is not going to fight, but
is merely getting ready to be forced
into the war on the side of the Allies.
And these agents need more play
things than the kiddies at Christmas
to make them happy in their inno
cence of any warlike prospect. They
want 250,000,000 rifle cartridges, and
they come slow because this country
is very busy making the exploders
for England and France. They want
thousands of war automobiles, scores
of military aeroplanes, and a bunch
of submarines in which the exact num
ber is not mentioned.
Of course that does not absolutely
mean war but it shows some of the
earmarks. The agents started with
the establishment of plenty of credit
with American banks. The Spanish
consul at New York says: “These
gentlemen are here to buy war sup
plies for Spain. Our country is not
going to war, but we are preparing.
We believe it is wise to be all ready
in these days of trouble. The rest
of Europe is in fire. We do not know
how long or how far this war will
go." And it is a fine opportunity for
the Spanish to buy anything they
need before declaring war, because
they will not be subject to any of the
technical objections of enemies or
other destroyers which were not men
tioned in the international agreements
that have been made the subject of
contention. Spain may even buy the
submarines making at Quincy for the
English government, “to be delivered
after the war.”—Ex.
AUSTRALIAN TRADE.
But if we have the enterprise, we
ought to aid an Australian effort for
the trade with us. Australia is a
great wool country, and the trade
commissioner bases his report for a
direct route on this product. Skins,
hides, butter, mutton, lambs and beef
we could use and get them to better
advantage, for we should be able to
do our own trading in return, instead
of getting them from England, where
they are now paid for by English
manufactured products. As the sea
sons in Australia are opposite to ours,
the winter dating from June, there
ought to be a supply of eggs during
our winter which would be a boon.
In 1913 Australia bought from us
$47,000,000 worth of goods and sold
to us $13,000,000, and most of this
trade passed through England. As
Australia has made the move for di
rect trade, we should have the en
ergy for response.
We have spent many years talking
about our place as a world power.
We have our costly canal, and we have
a reorganized banking and currency
system, a trade commission, and it
would seem that we should try to
put these things to a practical test
of< usefulness.*—Ex.
THE HORSES LEAD.
In the first eight months of the
present fiscal year, from the begin
ning of July to the end of February,
there was an increase of $8,227,236
in the exports of explosives and a
gain of $4,027,011 in the exports of
firearms, over the corresponding
months of 1913 and 1914. In the same
period the increase in the exports
of motor trucks was $13,214,202.
It will be seen that in a part of the
fiscal year which covered the first
seven months of the war the total
increase in exports of these three
classes of munitions and supplies was
about $54,468,000. In the same per
iod the increase in the value of the
horses sold to foreign buyers, nearly
all for military use, almost exactly
equalled the total for the explosives,
the motor trucks and the firearms
taken together.
This is a phase of the war com
merce of the United States which at
tracts comparatively little attention
but it is of the highest importance
to extensive districts in which many
horses *are raised. It is possibly
quite as vital to the warring nations
of Europe as to the much more com
monly and bitterly discussed sales of
■weapons and ammunition.—Cleveland

ROME, May 24.—Rope Benedict has
instructed all German or Austrian ec

to their own countries in order to
avoid trouble. The Pope is fearful that
the people of Italy, in their sudden
I war passion, may so far forget them
I selves as to offer insult to the church
dignitaries. The order for the return
of the church officers was made Sat
urday and already many are leaving.
The Italian government is making ev

leaving Italy via Switzerland.
