FOR WAR'S END SOON Has Peculiar Advantage for Se- cunng Inside Information Madrid, Aprll 20.—According to some of the advices reachihg Spain, the end of the European war is not likely to occur this year. His Excellency, Senor Amalio Gi- meno, Spanish minister for foreign affairs, expressed this view to a rep- resentative of the Associated Press, in the course of a conversation held at the ministry of state. Spain occupies a unique position as the representative of most of the na- tions at war and as such she is In & position to guage the currents of in- formation which flow in from all the quarters directly connected with the conflict. She’ protected the interests of some of these countries from the first, and has recently taken up most of the others laid down by the United States on the severance of relations Already, it had been | vaguely conjectured that the end of | the war was a good way off, but this was the first expression from one in authority based on the unusual oppor- tunities of the central mediating neu- tral to judge the real conditions and outlook. “We have all hoped that this terri- ble conflict could be brought to a close this year,” the minister went on “per- haps in the early months of the fall and certainly by the end of the year. But I am sorry to say some of the in- formation now reaching me is con- trary to these hopes, although I am unable to make any positive state- ment, the end may come next year, but even that is a matter of doubt. To be sure there is always the possibility of a sudden and more favorable turn of affairs which may bring a crisis and an unexpected termination of hostil- itles. But generally speaking, we are obliged to accept the evidences of the present. . A Fearful Prospect. “It is a fearful prospect,” he adde “considering the enormous destru tion, suffering and misery' which the people of theseé stricken countries are undergoing, and which is beginning to be felt by the people fgr removed from the era of warfare.’ But fearful as it is, that is one of the unpleasant realities of the war which we must face, and shape our course accordin 1y instead of being led by vain hope: Senor Gimeno is not only the guid- ing figure of Spain’s foreign relations during the war, but he is eminent in scientific as well as in. public affairs. Besides holding the portfolio of min- ister of stpte, he is a senator, & mem- ber of the faculty of the University of Madrid, a doctor of medicine, an au- thor of standard books on sclentific 2nd medical subjects, five times a member of the cabinet, and one of the foremost men of the Liberal par- ty now in power. These many quali- ties give him a position and authority in Spanish affairs much beyond that of a political leader. Senor Gimeno was interested to know the sentiment in the United States In regard 'to the responses Spain had given to the communica- tions of President Wilson. “We are most desirous to co- oper- ate with the United States in every way within our power,” said the min- ister. “But in this case our internal conditions made it essential for us to observe absolute neutrality. Being on the continent of Europe instead of across the Atlantic, it should be re- membered that we are considerably nearer the conflict than America. We have among us, too, different shades of opinion which are very strong and need to be recognized and harmon- ¢ Womeh s Best Beauty Reflects Health Women who wish to be more beautiful, more attractive — should take care of their health.

These conditions affecting our internal political affairs were so strong that a strict adherence to neu- trality was positively the only course open to us. And so our responses to the American communications have been framed with the double purpose of acting in accordance with the nec- essities of our internal political affairs, and at the same time preserving and enlarging those relations of friendship which now bind America and Spain so strongly together. “We are glad to have the oppor- tunity to give evidence of this friend- ship,” the minister went on, “in rep- resenting the United States through our diplomatic and consular officials throughout Germany and in Austria, too, if the necessity arises. We are strengthening our staff of officials at all points in Germany by reason of these new and important duties and, in deference to the wishes of the United States we are making changes in the personnel so that the interests of the United Sates will be looked af- er at all consular points through Germany by native-born Spanish sub- Jects, and not by German or other foreign subjects who may be em- ployed in the local Spanish consulates. This requirement is necessitating a regonstruction of our diplomatic and consular staffs in Germany, as we wish to observe the desires of the United States to the fullest in having none but Spanish subjects look after tho interests of the United States.” Germans in Spanish Consulates. This change of personnel in the Spanish consulates of Germany which Senor Gimeno announces, will over- come a situation which had been pointed out by some of the American consuls passing through here from Germany on their way home. They stated that at Cologne and some other points the Spanish consul now in chargeé of American interests was a local German resident. This same con- dition prevails in the American and British consular service: Where lo- cal residegts are often employed in consulates not of sufficient import- ance to warrant sending a native-born American or British consil. Spain s seeing that such a situation does not apply to the care of American in- terests in Germany. “It is Spain which has accepted the representation. of the United States,” sald the minister, “and I am seeing to it that Spanish subjects only shall be in charge of these interests. All our preparations have been made for taking up the relief of Belgium and igvaded France, begun by the Amer- ican Relief Commission if the neces- sity arises.” Senor Gimeno was asked what measures Spain had adopted to pro- teet her food supplies because of the world shortage resulting from the war. “We have prohibited the exporta- tions of practically all the essential articles of food,” he said- ‘““This does not mean an-embargo on all exports but only on those affecting alimen- tation and nourishment. This is a measure of self-protéction for our stock of food supplies. It is the same ! the increasing demand for foodstuffs. hecome acute later, in ‘case of short crops among the nations which are giving all their energies to fighting instead of producing food.” Senor Gimeno had a closing word to say on the good relations hetween Spain and the United States, and his helief that out of the war would arise ap even greater community of in- terest between Spain and America, North and South, a community which he will seek to encourage and develop commercially, politically, “and in every branch of international inter- course- Senor Gimeno later read over the forégoing and authorized its use. “Because of this precaution, we have prohibited the export of wheat, flour, potatoes, beans, vegetables of ail sorts meat, poultry, eggs, milk, butter and the whole range of daily hougehold requirements. But this does not interfere with the exporta- tion of our products of irom, olive oil, fruit and other articles not essen- tial to the food requirements of o people.” SEIZE LIGHTNING RODS.

BARLEY BREAD'S RETURN. Stockholm, April 20.—One result of the introduction of the breadcard in Sweden has been a return in some quarters to the baking of barley bread. Bread from barley flour, which may be sold without breadcards, is already being served in several railway res- taurants. FOR PROTECTION Of WOMEN. Club Organized to Protect Those Stranded by*War. London, April 20.—*“For Women | Without a Nation,” is the title of ‘a’ committee just organized by the| American Women'd club under the di- rection of Lady Lowther. The club, in connection with its war work, has found that there are a | large number of women stranded in ' London who cannot claim the rights | and protection of any state; they are | citizens of no country. An instance given by the club sec- retary is that of an English woman Who had married a Belgian and went | Wwith him to the United States, where he lived long enough to lose his na- tlonality. Neither took out naturali- | zation papers, and they returned to | Europe so that the husband could en- ter the Belgian army, in which he is now fighting. “We have record of more than a hundred such cases,” said the secre- tary. The club has committees to help stranded ‘Americans, to educate Amer- ican children, to maintain workshops where, hospitals are supplied to the Allies,’ and to manage a knitting fac- tory for the aged. FOOD TICKETS IN ITALY. Rome, April 20.>—The government is now organizing a system through- out Italy for the distribution of the necessities of life by means of tickets in order to suppress the inequalities which heretofore have existed in the sixty-nine provinces of the kingdom. In the province of Mantua each indi- vidual has been allowed less than two ounces of sugar every ten days, ; while in the neighboring provinces there is no limitation on the pur- chase of sugar.
