SPAIN AND HUNS MAY BREAK Et ITvited Press. WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. A diplomatic break of Spain with Germany is held to be probable, but Spain as an active combatant is unlikely. Dispatches from several foreign cities report a grave crisis at Madrid and throughout Spain. The food shortage is said to have caused the dissatisfaction of the people. An official Rome cable suggests that the Spanish cabinet is likely to decide upon immediate "energetic action" against Germany. It is declared the attitude of the Spanish in regard to Germany's submarine campaign is bitter. Diplomats believe Spain's first steps will le to put all ships of the kingdom row detained in port on account of the Kubmarine menace on the high ?eas to bring fcod to the stricken populace. A 3t-mnd on Germany to spare the ships probably would be made simultaneously.
