MSI Bill I BE By PAIL MAL1.UN (Copyright, 1937. by Paul Mallon.) Strength. I WASHINGTON, June 3. War men were less excite about the Russo German bomb-tossing In Spain than were the fluttery diplomats. Fight ing men felt llt 1 1 a prospect of the situation get lng out of hand, for reasons which sound con vinc lng. Hitler and Mus solini, In the first place, are merely the barkers In their respective circuses. Behind Paul Million. them, In the in side tent, are their general staffs. No military man can belteve the German and Italian general staffs would risk a major conflict at this time, unless they wish to commit national suicide. Their known deficiencies have been widely advertised, but you can gt a bird's-eye picture of the whole sit uation by considering one simple Item. Wars cannot be conducted without Iron. Ships, airplanes, tanks and men under arms count much In the first onrush. But wars are not won In the first clash, and con flicts cannot be sustained without Iron. Latest available official figures (1035) show the relative strength of the nations In Iron production (mil lions of tons) : France, 32. Germany, 12. Russia, 10. Britain, 7. Japan. 2. Italy, 0.6. Note Some changes have occurred since 1035, notably the acceleration In Britain and Russia, but Italy has not Improved and the relative stand ing Is about the same,. Face. v No answer that you can find for either Germany. Italy or Russia being involved In the Spanish fighting makes any real sense. The only ex cuse for their interest In Spain Is purely political and not economic or reasonably purposeful. To understand It fully, you must recollect that the dictatorships de veloped because thelf nations were dissatisfied with the division of the bones after the 1014 dog-fight. The'r Idea Is to restore their nations to a diplomatic and economic position In the world without fighting. They thrive on agitation, but not on war So far. they have done fairly well on the political side, but very little on the economic side (except, of course, witU'n their own borders) Neither Germany nor Italy has any assets which would enable it to gain the approval of the SEC for a bond Issue. They are merely maintaining the best face possible to cover their International poverty, making the best of their bad situation. Their cause In Spain Is purely po litical face-saving and face-main-, talntng And If they do not Intend to do It without fighting a general war, they are a lot crazier than most authorities here believe.

"I will," the duke, supremely hap py, answered In a firm, loud voice to the Anglican poor man's parson who gave him the unsanctioned blessing of the Church of England. As far as I could see neither the duke nor anyone else kissed tne bride. He raised his voice so high In his eagerness to take the "woman I love" as his wife that he startled the 34 guests In the flower-banked music room of this old chateau. After him. his blue-eyed lady ans wered "I will." Her voice was Just as firm as Edward's, but more hushed.

( AP) Britain's government, which would not have Wallls Warfleld as the empire's queen, maintained official silence today on the American-born woman's mar riage to former King Edward VIII at Monts.
