sister, Mrs. Curwen, and her baby also
being in the cutter. Dr. Clark sat In the
bottom of the cutter with his hands in his
pockets, and when the cutter "slewtd"
on an icy part of the road he was pitched
headforemost on the hard ground and
was unable to release his hands to pro-
tect himself. His face was very badly
cut and bruised, and his knee, which has
troubled him for several years, was sev-
erely injured. He was unconscious for
some time. He was taken into Dr.
Macklin s office and later/was conveyed
to his home, where he will be confined for
several weeks. The cutter was over-
turned and the other occupants were
spilled -slut on the road, but suffered no
injury.

friends hope that his recovery will be as
speedy and as complete as possible.

openly taking arms as a German ally.

among So"ialtsta it is clear that thle
is a war\between free peoples and a
dynasty. An Spain the Socialists are
the best educated of the population.
They continue an agitation that has
for Its object tp. intenPstion of
Spain on tbe side of the Allies. King
Alfon/o, per'sonally,, is supposed to be
pro -Ally, though wh tis the founda-
tion for the assumpt n we do not
know, unless it be that his wife 1s
an English princess, that be is per-
sonally democratic, and that ha
greatly admires the French°'. eople,
and is known to have sough out
their society. Alfonso 19 re to
have said that in Spain only halos
and the common people sympai'bi
with the Allies.
if he uttered such a remark be
made a mistake, in tbe judgment of
Judson C. Welliver, Loops corres-
pondent of the New York Sun. Both
the bot polloi and the upper elastics,
in his view, side with Germany. The
upper classes favor Germany because
they see in the Junkers what corres-
ponds to their own aristocracy. More-
over, the Spanish military class h1
supposed to be a great admirer of the
achievements of the German army,
and the clericals naturally sympa-
thise with Catholic Austria. Old
grudges to England, chiefly the rank-
ling sore of Gibraltar, are recalled.
The feelings of the lower classes
may be due to their suffering, for
food and other necessities are scarce
and high-priced in Spain. Mt. Welli-
ver thinks this is due rather to the
mismanagement of the Spanish Gov-
ernment in years ,past and to tbe un-
developed state of the country's
transportation facilities. Those who
have depended for a living on Span-
ish shipping have been thrown out
of employment, and among theta
German agents circulate, distribut-
ing funds and spreading dissension,
It would appear that the imme-
diate interests of the King and this
whole governing class are opposed to
Germany, for the pro -Germans are
trying to stir up civil strife in order
to make sure that Spain will be pow-
erless to enter the war. On the other
hand, the Barcelona Socialists are
trying to foment rebellion in order
to establish a republic. and they
again are favorable to the Allier. No
doubt after they formed their repub-
lic (bey would declare war on (ler-
many. hut by the time they. had
established the new order the war
would likely be over. Everything
now flepepds on the army. It is not
large or well-equipped, according 40
present European standards, but it is
by fat the strongest organization Iq
Spain. it is powerful enough to put
down a rebellion, and 1t is powerful
enough, if it desired to throw over
Alfonso, to usher In a repnblle.
'One of the most difficult problems
o King Alfonso IS to keep the : rmy
