The con- tinuous severity of the cen- sorship, the official list of nearly 400 killed in the disorders in- cident to the railroad strike and the attempt at a general strike, the re- calling to the colors of the army re- servists of 1914 and 1915, daily shooting and shell fire, ferocious rioting in Barcelona, the heart of al- ways separtist Catalonia; reports of a republican movement suppressed with the loss of more than 300 lives in Bilbao; the suppression of the Lib- eral newspapers, the promise that order will be restored before long: all this makes a picture characteris- tically Spanish, a picture of a vigor- ous nation or collection of provinces, extreme in opinion, of a constitu- tional monarchy in name, perpetual- ly in danger from a revolution pro- claiming a republic, and from a re- bellion of the Carlists, those undying Jacobites -â€" a constitutional mon- archy in which the people do not Q A_i12L_.-._ ‘A The charming personal qualities of the King, his supposed sympathy with the Entente Powers, should not make us forget his diflicult position, worsened by the war, or the politi- cal system by which the monarchy keeps an uneasy throne. The two chief parties, distinguished for form’s sake as Liberals and Conser- vatives, are really one in purpose and method. They keep the mon- archy going. If the anti-monarchical parties are strong in the cities, in the country districts, where the econo- mic condition of the peasants is us- ually wretched. the Government can get a majority. In the science of gerrymandering the Spanish politi- cians make their American brethren look like novices. Bribery flourishes. It is even truer of Spain than of Hungary that the Government al- ways “carries” an election. Against the irreconcilable Carl- ists, strong among the inferior clergy and country folks of the Basque Provinces and North Cata- lonia, the Crown relies upon the sup- port of the Church, whose interest and wishes are always considered in legislation, and which gets patron- age and privileges from the Govern- ment. Against the Socialists, the Radicals, Republicans, Federalists, Reformists, the Crown depends on the army. The recent dissatisfac- tions in the army, or some branches of it, seemed, if anything more than a skillful exploitation of the increas- ed necessities of the Crown, a serious danger to it, but they have been ap- peasbd, apparently. Crown, Church, army, two political parties led by cynical politicians, dividing the spoils of omce, aided by and aiding tile masters of'economic life: that is the Spanish Government. As yet, the people have small hand inflit. A watch made entirely of ivoryâ€" works, hands, and caseâ€"is the pro- duction of M. Henri Houriet, of Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The material employed was taken from a. , billiard ball. The watch keeps good time, varying only about a minute a 1 month. Beyond the clamor of pro-German and pro-Ally in Spain one listens for the popular voice. Is it fanciful. to trace in the disorders in widely separated parts of Spain an echo of Russia? “The word revolution,” says a contemporary Spanish writer, “is a magic word for the Spanish people. The race, with its impa- tience of authority and its strong in- dividualism, has a born revolution- my instinct. The tradition was kept alive all through the nineteenth cen- tury by a chain of half-military, half- popular outbreaks. The stability of the Restoration, resting, as it does, on the satisfaction of all but the peo- ple, which is thus made the victim of unjust fiscal, military, and civil laws, contributes to fostering the re- volutionary spirit. The last great strike was but a rehearsal of more ambitious schemes. One can easily imagine th: hOpes raised by the Rus- sian Revolution in many a Spanish heart.” On the other hand, that revolu- tion, by leading the Republicans and Socialists to demand interven- tion in favor of the Alliw, must have stiffened the anti-popular combina- tion on which the throne rests.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. 0'0 .0 20°24”. ‘2» New Honors for Scotch Were Gained in France During Spring Campaign The Army of Scotlandâ€"for it is really, in a sense, an individual and concrete part of the Imperial force â€"-obviously satisfies every demand of the higher commands for a weap- on that can be handled with assur- ance. This trust in something in- herently dogged and durable in the soldier of the North now extends to the Territorials and the New Army corps as emphatically as to any of the old first line battalions with whom granite endurance, dash, and fire have been traditional since the earliest times when they marched with England. The Scotsman has to (1 this conâ€" fidence in his powers 5 etimes di- minish what he regarded as his fair share of the occasion for rest; but he has found consolation in the stimulating belief that he is, by vir- tue of. his race, regarded peculiarly and officially as d’elite.” He steps back at intervals from the fighting line with no illusions such as some flaring headlines would foster at homeâ€"indeed, a little irrit- able at any suggestion that he is fighting a Boche of diluted spiritâ€" 50 under proof, so to speakâ€"on the stubborn line east of Arras. For four weeks he has found the numeri- cal strength, the physique, the re- sourcefulness and the morale of the enemy confronting him quite worthy of his respect. “Ye would think the silly bodies would see they’re no a match for us; but, man, they’re dour to shift,” said a bombing sergeant from Tay- port to me yesterday. “Naebody need tell me they’ve run oot 0’ fat in Germany; wherever these chaps were afore they came here they were well wintered.” This wholly admirable disinclina- tion to belittle the Boche and what remains of kick in him I find every- where after a week spent exclusively among Scots troops who have sam- pled all varieties of- Germans, in many battles, on all parts of the line since war began. It is a delightful instance of our racial caution and foresight; it stiffens us for hours of stress, and will give us the more to plume ourselves on in the hour of victory. A few old native peasantry, men and women, toil unremittingiy in the widespread, exquisitely tilled f1-,e1ds 'but Otherwise the countryside is ,temporarily Scottish. There are ”name but Heilan‘ bonnets here,” as ‘the old song sag-cs: more tartan is 4 * to be seen than all Scotland saw in ‘ forty years betkre the warâ€"the tar- ? tan uncovered :1 'ain,f01 the khaki apron is mean“ hile in abey,ance and a is dispensed W ith even in attack. Glorious sunshine, warmth, and moonbright nights, following upon the cold, bleak April weather, have added a thousand per cent. to the sense of relaxation with which the Scots alternately come out of the tension of the fighting line for a “rest” that, though still with its strenuous daily duties, is, as they declare, the best they have had since they came to war. These lines are written from a part of France where, passing from vil- lage to village, camp to camp, regi- ment to regiment in recent days, I almost felt myself at home, so far at least as the human aSpect was concerned. It has been to the tune of “Johnny Cope” I have walked each morning in a different billet; each night the pipes have played retreat and filled the suave French landscape with the bum or stridor of old airs of Skye and Morven, strange rite familiar now to North- ern France. nn with a tunic weather stained, though the buttons shine like gold, and a wonderfully enduring kilt that looks quit~: recently come from the Q.
