SPANISH ARMY lHllEATENS Tll suzzgqmnu

Request Government To Take Immediate Measures To Re- store Order.

(By III'EI Knoblnugh. Associated Press Foreign Stall)

(A. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

MADRID, March Iii-The Span- ish army gave what was tanta- mount to an ultimatum today to Premier Manuel Azana that unless the new left government adopts meus q: to end widespread vio- lence it would‘ take the mainten- ance of order into its own hands.

The army acted following dis- orders at Logrono in which an un- known number ol persons were killed in a clash between extremists and troops. It was understood at least 11 were killed and 40 wound-

ed.

Despite strict censorship im- posed by the governor of Lcgrono, it was learned that incendlaries there set fire to six wnventsi and churches, four rightist centres and a rightist newspaper, and then at- tacked the army barracks, attempt- ing to seize artillery. Infantry sallied from tho barracks, ex- changing shots wlth the armed mob, and finally succeeded in dis- persing it after killing a number.

Reliable souzoes said the army, already amused by an assault on snarling ollinr during Msdxtd riots Friday, decided on the ultim- atum. alter last night's attack on the troops at Logrono.

The Minister of War, General Carlos Masquelet, is understood to be sympathetic with demands that violence cease, and so inform Azana. '

Azana is known to have sum- moned Francisco Luz-gee Caballero. president cl the Socialist party, in his office, and Largo is understood to have agreed to issue orders t0 Socialists throughout Spain to end all demonstrations until further notice.

A church and two of the convent schools set on fire at Logrono were completely destroyed, as were two monarchist centres, one ' (rightist political party) centre and the headquartns of the Cascists. Doors of the other four convent-s wero saturated with gasoline and ignited but firemen prevented the blazes from spreading.

LONDON, March 15-'l‘he European outlook is defin- itely darker tonight. - . '- Conditions which Germany attaches to her presence at tomorrows meeting of the League of Nations Council leave the situation worse, if possible, than it was before. Chancellor Hitler attaches two ‘conditions to German acceptance of the council’s invitation: (1) That the German representative shall attend the council meeting on a basis of complete equality with other representatives; (2) that Hen- Hitlefs peace proposals shall be discussed at the same time as German occupation of the Rhineland. P. E. Flandln, the French Foreign Minister, declares he will return home and leave the council rather than ac- cept the second condition. '

DECISION RESTS WITH LEAGUE’

The British, while taking the official ground that the decision lies with the League Council, obviously are deeply disappointed. To them the disappointment is all the greater because the British government made a special effort to secure German representation when the Locsrno Traty ll discussed by the League Council. ‘ -

To the first condition broached by Germany there is It is accepted that the German representptive on a basis of equality with the others.

The hitch lies in the second condition. It means, as in terpreted here, that both the French and Belgians would have to abandon their position. They take the ground that they cannot negotiate so long as Germany continues milit- ary occupation of the Rhineland. If Herr Hitler’s second condition is accepted then German troops will remain_in the Rhineland while the proposed 25-year non-aggression treaty is discussed. _

' The council will meet in private session to consider the German reply. The final word lies with the council, but hope that a German representative will attend tomorrow, afternoon's public session has been virtually abandoned.

LONDON, March 15—Chancellor Hitler tonight ac- cepted an invitation to be represented at tomorrows meet- ing of the League of Nations’ Council but added ‘qualifi- cations” which immediately brought an unofficial rejec- tion by France. _ _

Informed of‘ the gist of Hltier’s reply, Foreign Mm- ister Pierre-Etienne Flandln declared emphatically:

“If Hitler's offer includes as a condition that we dis- cuss his peace proposals, I refuse absolutely.
