He returned with odd-looking Implements In his hands, which 1 soon discovered lo be an enormous silver cocatan shaker and two goblets. After a dex terous shake the King poured out two large cocktails, saying. "I understand that you American gentlemen always drink In the morulng." I had not had a cocktail for year, and If I had endeavored to assimilate the driok so royally prepared for m I should have been In no condition to continue the conversation. I think King Alfonso himself was quite re lieved when, after a sip. I put my cock tall behind a statue. 1 noticed that he camouflaged hl In a similar man ner. l-nfortunately. as Maximilian Harden said, the Hermans think of as as a land of dollars, trusts and corruption: and other nations think o us as devotees of the cocktail and of poker.

The characteristic of Alfonso' which Impresses one Immediately la that ol extreme manllnese. He baa a senee of humor that will save him from many a mishap In hie difficult post. He haa a wide knowledge of men and affairs and. above all. as the Spaniards would put It. Is tnur espanol (very Spanish!, not only In appearance, but In his way of looking at things; a npnninro oi m. beet tvpe; a Spaniard possessing Indus try and ambition and bravery; a Span lard. In fact, of Ihe days when Spain waa supreme In the world. Ills favor ite sport Is polo, which ha playa very well. Indeed, the game, which re quires dash, quickness of thought, rerve and good riding. Is particularly suited to the Spanish character. The King showed at the time of th anar chistic o.utbreaka that he was a brave man. Tet ho mu.l ha careful at all times lo reniem,br-hat he la aconstl tutional King, that In a country like Spain leadership la dangerous and that be should always rather stand aside, let tha representatives of the nation decide, thus taking no definite position himself. A King who abandons the council table to shoot pigeons or play polo la often actlns with far mora wis dom than a constitutional ruler who attempts by Ihe oae of his strong; per sonality and lofty position to force upon his councilor a course w hich the majority of them do not recommend. The Spaniards are politically an ex acting people. Itut It la to be hoped that Ihey will not turn Ihe heavy artil lery of their criticism upon a King who serves them so gracefully and well. Alfeaeo Has Aaatrlaa Iiakedeaa. The King ha a natural desire to take a prominent part In tn negotiations for peace, but here again Is dangerous ground for htm. He ahould be given a p.irt. If possible. In the prtllmlnarles of peace: but, while I believ- that he sympathises with one of tha entente countries, the allies are forced to rec ORulie tha fact of which he himself reminded me. that he is not only King of Spain, but Archduke of one of the central empires, the aon of an Aus trian Archduchess. The King told me that he wa most desirous thnt American capital should become Interested In the development of Spain. He did not tell me the rea son fir this desire, but perhaps he fear that If Herman capital ahould take a great part In the development of Industrial Spain that the tentacles of th Herman propaganda ana i vstrm which go hand in hand with her commercial Invaders wouia wrap themselves around the commercial, so cial and political life of Spain. I'erhapa King Alfonso, when he wishes capital other than tnrman to become Interested In Spain. Is thinking of the occurrence of lsi, when Spain and tSermany so nearly clashed. In that year the crew of a Oerman war ship hoisted the flag of the German empire on the Island of : P. one of the Carolina group, an Island long claimed by Spain. The act so ltlrred the people of Spam that a great meet Ins; waa held tn Madrid, attended by more than 100,0" people. letter the mob attacked tha German Embassy and fonaulate, tor down the shield and flagstaff of the Consulate and burned them In the principal square of Madrid. In Ihe end Spain waa com pelled to humbly apologue to Germany for the insult to the German Ambas sador. Warning Aaaerie Pome year before the war the King sent to this country a special emissary to Interest American capital In JSjiain. Means of transportation are very meaarr- Great mineral district are as yet undeveloped, and many other opportunities for foreign capital pre acnt themselves. I asked the Spaniards why Spain was not developed by Spanish capital and Ihey told me that the rich put all their money In government bonds and lived as gayly as possible on the Interest. tur own Government, whether Demo cratic or Kepubllcan. must always be careful to see that taxes are not so high as to prevent the naturally en terprising American from rlrklng part of hia capital In new ventures, and sjch protection must be given to American cf.lxens. that they will con tinue to try tbelr luck at business In foreign countries for the immedlsle benefit, of course, of themselves, but alo for the commercial supremacy of th lulled Statea.

Asaerleaaa Are Feared. "Presently some one exclaimed: They ara Americans.' Another person screamed aloud: Tha Americans are cowing:.' A Kutchman I knew rushed up to mo and said: "Didn't I tell you the Americans would com sooner or later?- "I rannot say whether th machines actually wera American, but th strik ing thing was the evidence that there has been general skepticism whether American airplanes ever would come and equal fear of them when they do." The neutral traveler addvd that al though the machines merely passed over Mulhelm on tbclr way to Coblenx It waa not until 4 o"c!ock that the "all clear" signal was sounded.

They had to surmount the difficulties presented by frost, snow, gales and heavy mist, u hlch often prevented them from see ing the German Iron works and fac tories they were to attack. Most of the raids were carried out In daylight. The number of these expeditions and the amount of explosive dropped were increasing steadily. Photographs which had been taken showed beyond doubt the accuracy of the report made. The attack were concentrated on objects of military Importance. Aircraft Defeaae leerease.
