Unfortunate Spain a few citizens fubulously enriched and the mnss of the population bitterly Im poverished by the war, her banks so surfeited with gold that the yellow metal Is at a discount and her people mostly going without sufficient to eat seems to keep International observ ers here on the brink of plunging Into state of disorderly turmoil like that recently witnessed In Russia. The sanguinary events of the world war distract attention from King Al fonso XIII's country. But history Is being made there, which In normal times would fill the front pages of the newspapers and be the principal topic or discussion here from the tea table to the cabinet room. Spain Is probably the hardest hit by the war of all the nations except those actually In the conflict In the early part of the war the agitation between pro-ally and pro-German groups was looked upon as a possible source of trouble, but this Interna tional question Is now overshadowed by a multitude of Internal maladies any one of which would ordinarily be considered of major Importance. Alfonso Is Hissed. Alfonso, the athletic young king, has lost his former DODularlty. He hissed in the theater and stays away from polo games because of an ticipated disagreeable hostile dem onstrations. This Is because he Is blamed for the series of Impotent gov ernments which battle weakly and Ineffectually against the nation's mul tiplying difficulties. But Alfonso is no kaiser. He Is as much at the mercy of the conflicting political currents as his subjects. However, It is the prerogative of a king's subjects to blame htm for everything that hap pens. Mall dispatches received here de scribe the labor disorders In Spanish cities, which have resulted in several hundred deaths, as likely to Increase rather than diminish. Perhaps this the most serious of the dangers threatening Alfonso today. The radical workmen, to be com pared with the Bolshevik! of Petro- grad, are pursuing a course of sabo tage and destruction in an effort to Intimidate the authorities. But the outbreaks in different cities appear to have little connection and the move ment is not well organized. Whatever power the worklngmen's revolution has arises from the fact that It costs two and a half times as much to live In Spain as It did be fore the war, while wages, contrary to the experience In most other coun tries, have remained stationary or act ually decreased. Many lines of profitable manufac turing have had to close, because their markets In the Teutonic countries and In Russia have been cut off by war lines end because England, France and Italy are stringently lim iting Importations. In a few lines tbe entente allies have demanded all Spain could produce and have made mer chants and manufacturers wealthy be yond their wildest dreams. But these exceptions have not relieved the gen eral situation. Army Its Own Master. The army so far has proved depend able when set to the task of putting down the revolutionary workingmen. But Spain's army is almost self-governing, as Russia's was for many weeks last spring, before Kerensky was able to use the spectre of defeat by Germany to restore discipline. Every army corps ana smaller unit has, it appears, a council or defense. This is especially representative of the noncommissioned officers ana commis sioned officers of lower grade, who feel themselves Ill-treated by the bureau cracy at Madrid. It will be re membered that In the army crisis of a few weeks ago the officers were able to force the release of their lead- rs who had been thrown Into fortress prisons. The army trouble Is not set tled. The officers demand technical changes In organization, more pay, and less favoritism In promotions. A third clearly defined source of trouble Is the separatist movement In Catalonia. The Catalans speak a dif ferent language from .the people of Madrid. It might be described as mid way between French and Spanish, as Catalonia lies between France and the rest of SDatn. The Catalan is insult- orl if called a Spaniard "Catalan" la what he llkea as a designation of na tlonallty. The province of Catalonia is the wealthiest, most prosperous and most progressive in the country. Its cap ital, Barcelona, 1 the center and hot bed of most revolutionary movements In Spain. Most ol its people woum rather be part of France than of Spain. They believe a hidebound, In curably antique government at Ma drid Is preventing their taking a place with the most advanced peoples on the globe. Other Spanish provinces would also like to break away from the Madrid eovernment, perhaps partly in Imi tation of Catalonia, but more on ac count of what differences in race, lan guage, manners and habits of thought I isre coinbtoeX Prove A Second Russia Country Seems to Be on Brink of Plunging Into State of -Turmoil. HARDEST HIT OF NEUTRALS King Hat Lost Hit Popularity and la Hltted When He Appeara In Public Three Parties Are Pro-Ally. This latest photograph of the Prin cess Jolanda of Italy shows a smile that reveals her Joy at the successes the Italian arms have been winning In the Carso and along the Isonzo, where the Italian forces have been steadily driving back the Austrlans from one mountain fastness to another. It Is a smile that she shares with everyone In Italy, for the whole nation Is filled with Joy at the glorious prospect of victory over their foe of centuries, and well may they be glad, for the fighting men of Italy have covered themselves with glory In the fighting above the clouds. Princess Jolanda Is the eldest daughter of the king and queen of Italy and like them she has endeared herself to the Italian people during the war. Internal troubles became paramount this "block" was concentrating its ef forts on throwing Spain Into the war as an entente ally. Spain's grievances against the Germans are almost ex actly like the United States contin ued outrages on undefended merchant ships by the U-boats. Not to go Into all the maze of de tails, one may say in general that the conservatives, the clericals, the high army officers and the leaders of the old arlstocractic families favor Ger many. But there are notable exceptions to the general rule that the aristocrats favor Germany, one being the Duke of Alba, whose family has been famous In history for centuries. The king himself Is believed to lean toward the entente. His consort Ena, Is British through and through. In fact, she has Incurred some unpopular ity by failure to conceal her prefer ence for England to Spain. But what the king may do matters little. High officers In the government at Madrid Is confined to a group of about a thousand men, bureaucrats no less stupid If not so brutal as those of the czar. Cabinet follows cabinet In an endless, wearying round. Each one Is destined to failure from the start, because of the brainless hldal sna In positions of Importance, If for no other reason. Thus, unhappy Spain stumbles on. She Is buffeted by blasts from all directions. The Spaniard is a natural revolutionary. There seems little likelihood of a solution of the coun try's troubles little chance that any sort of a firm, strong central govern ment will take control and lead the people In the ways of a modern pros perous democracy. Carllttt Alto a Dinger, Unnanal as It would seem In these days, Spain may even witness con flicts over the crown. The Carllsts are vary strong.

But Alfonso might bow to reason, where force would not avail. In a light moment he offered once to run at candidate for Spain's first president should the people desire a republic. Yet Spain's troubles are too deep seated and to Involved to be cast oft with a change of constitution. What would help her most is the ending of the great war. If the war goes on Spain's woe appear certain to Increase. DRAFT TWIN; OTHER ENLISTS Brothers Who Have Never Been Sep. arated Want to Be Togethtf In Army. Lot Angeles, CaL Harry F. and Herbert N. Langlols, twin brothers, twenty-six years old, played together when youngsters, studied through school life together, received their diplomas on the same stage, were part ners in the business world and had never been separated' a day In their lives when Harry was notified In Los Angeles he had been selected for Uncle Sam's Liberty army. Herbert's number was down near the end of the list, but when he heard his brother had to go to war he Immediately began settling up his end In the Hughes Arizona Cop per company and announced he would Join Harry in the trenches. "We are not going to let the war separate us now," said the brothers at their home here. "We have never been separated a day, and as we lived to gether so we would choose death to gether, If such should be our lot Neither of us wants exemption. We are both ready to fight for Uncle Sam and we have no dependents." VIOLIN USED TO CATCH FISH But It It Not the Lure of Mutlo That Lands Them New Flth Yarn. Macon, Mo. "They have a new wrinkle for catching fish at Elmer, and It Is wonderful the luck they have." Alva Wllloughby, circuit clerk, re marked, swapping experiences at the' courthouse. "About fifteen of na pitched camp on a lake north of town and then set lines across zigzag, ilka German entaglements, you know. When all was ready the fiddler sat on a log and played, The Arlmnsaw Trav eler1 and other classics. And yon ought to have seen the fish come In I By noon we had more than the party could eat They tell me they alwaya take a fiddler along when they go fishing up there." "I see," County Clerkk Sears said. "The music charms them, and they go blindly toward It and are caught On the lines." 'Not exactly," Wllloughby replied. "You see, we put the musician at the other end of the lake and in paddling to get away from the noise the fish run Into the hooks." PORT OF ROME TO BE REBORN Ottla Again Will 8upply Food and Ceal After Sleep of Nearly Ten Centuries. Rome. After a sleep of nearly ten centuries, Ostla, the ancient port of Rome, will now be reconstructed to supply Rome with cereals, coal and other necessaries. Under the Caesars, in the most glorious period of the Roman port, especially for the land ing, and storage of free grain, which the emperors had to give the Romans if they would keep them In a good temper. Little by little the Tiber filled up the port with mud, and under the troubles of barbarian Invasion Ostla became wholly deserted. Many timet the Romans have desired to rebuild the port and facilitate food supply, but It costs money, and Jealous Na ples, whose port now supplies Rome, raised great objections. The com mune of Rome has, however, gained a victory, and the governor has sanc tioned the rebirth of one of the oldest ports In the world. SKIRTS WILL BE TAKEN IN Paris Stylet for Coming Winter Are Designed to Economize on Fabrics, Perls. Dress styles of the coming winter are designed to economize on woollen fabric as much as possible. The Mastor Dressmakers' association of Paris has decided that not more than 0 yards of cloth shall be used In making a dress. This compares with an average of ten or twelve yards two years ago and teven yards last year.

Spokane A labor shortage of 10,000 woodsmen and mill operatives faces timber operators of eastern Washing ton and Oregon and northern Idaho, it was declared here Thursday at a meet ing of the Loggers' club, composed of lumbermen of that section and attend ed also by several operators from Mon tana, a Of these, 7000 were lost by army enlistment or draft, it was stated, but about as many now engaged in har vesting and firefighting will be avail able for woods work later. The oper ators took no action on wages, and no decision for uniform resumption of operations was announced. Plans for circulating among lumber manufactures and their employes pe titions for congress asking for a uni versal eigth-hour day in the lumber industry were formulated and the club reaffirmed its indorsement of the eight hour day. A resolution Indorsing the boycott of coast building trades unions against lumber manufactured in camps and mills running 10 hours a day was ed by the local Central Labor council, and referred to the Spokane Building Trades council. Application for a charter in the American Federation of Labor was made to the Central Labor council by newly organized union of mill work ers and timbermen, which it was de clared has 400 members. It is com mitted to the principle of the eight hour day, it was announced. HUNTERS FIND GAME SCARCE First Venture in Eastern Washington Brings Poor Results. North Yakima Hunters who went into the hills Sunday and Monday for grouse did not find the birds plentiful and few of them got full bags. Game Warden Greenman and a deputy sta tioned themselves at the forks of two roads leading into the most popular districts for hunters Sunday evening and held up and examined from 50 to 60 automobile parties returning. In no instance was it found that the bag limit had been exceeded, and only four were found who could not show their licences, each of whom claimed they had a license but had come away without it. Two More Mills Are Reopened. Seattle The big sawmill of the Pu get Sound Mill & Timber company Port Angeles, and the plant of the Crown Lumber company at Mukilteo, have reopened each working 10 hour daily at half capacity. Spruce from the Willapa harbor district is being shipped in tramload lots to Grays Har bor, to be cut into airplane stock for the United States. Twenty-one of the 24 mills on Grays Harbor are running. The I. W. W. who have been on Btrike for several weeks, are returning to work in the logging camps.
