her without a declaration of war.
"We decla're to all Russian citlcea

'Thla government has been form

LONDON, Aug. 27. German news
papers say that Jtbe situation between
8pain and Germany is critical, but
that Germany can make no conces
sions with regard to her submarine
warfare, says a dispatch to the Ex
change Telegraph from Copenhagen.
The Taegllsche Rundachan admits
the beginning of a conflict which may
affect the position of both Mexico and
Argentina. "The complaints of Spain
mean an admission la favor of the
Entente powers," aaya thla newapa
per, "and Spain'a threat means a step
away from the path ot neutrality de
sired by the Spanish people. The
Spanish note must be considered by
the German people as an unfriendly
act."
The Lokal Anxelger aaya that Spain
must acknowledge the condition
.which compelled Germany to resort
to aubmarlne warfare.
