Had tbe department ordered the waiving of physical examinations and the making the recorda pertaining to tnusters, the battalion could have got ten off for the south by Monday bight, aa cars are being held by the Bouthern Pacific company in antici pation of troop movements.

Troop A FEAT OF SUBMARINE IN REACHING SPAIN IS CAUSE OF INTEREST Trip Opens Startling Vista to Imagination of Use of Sub mersibles, By William Bayard Hale). Vienna, June 26. (I. N. 8.) (Via Berlin and Copenhagen.) Extraordi nary interest has been aroused throughout the central empires by the appearance from a mysterious un known harbor at Cartagena, Spain, of the German U-boat "85" with dis patches from the German emperor to the king of Spain. It appears that the submersible was received with great acclaim by the Spanish populace, a fact that was tele graphed here with great satisfaction. The interest of the Germanic peoples in the attltudo of the Spanish sover eign is further indicated by the satis faction with which was received here the report of the declaration made yesterday by King Alfonso to his rep resentative at Budapest. The king emphasized the faot that Spain had, in the midst of the greatest diffi culties, successfully Observed the strictest neutrality with the object of ultimately attaining its position of be. lng useful to all parties to tha con test In aa approach to peace. The royal sentiment, which is indicative of the desir Of Spain to become, -after the war, a uniting bond between the bel ligerents, is interpreted here as evi dence of tha large statesmanlike out look now dominating Bpanlsa pontics. Spain has good reason to congratu late herself on her unwavering main tenance of neutrality, seeing that the peseta, which, during the last So years ha been tne "houn dawg" of Juiro pean currency is now at 22 pe cent premium, compared with the French franc, and 7 per cent over the Aneri can dollar, so the bank of Spain is now in a position to import gold from tbe united States. The use of U-33 as a King's messen ger, and especially the bearer of hos pit&l supplies, opens startling vistas to the Imagination of the nations cut off from communication with their ambassadors abroad ai& deprived of Red cross materials.
