NATIONS KEEP

SPANISH COAST
BRITISH WAR VESSELS DO MAJOR DUTY
London, Feb. 23.
The zones into which the coast of Spain will be divided under the scheme of the International Non- Intervention Committee to exercise, from the sea, control of the importation of war materials, have been set down and approved by the sub-committee.
The divisions, and their respective guardians, are as follows:
North coast-Britain and Portugal North-west coast-France and Russia
South coast, from the Spanish-Portuguese border to Almeria-Britain
Almeria to the Franco-Spanish frontier--Germany and Italy
The island of Iviza, and Majorca-France- Minorca Italy
Spanish Morocco-France
Canaries and Rio Doro-Britain.
As yet, Russia has not accepted her zone of control. It was originally suggested that Russia guard the east coast, as that is nearest her bose in the Black Sea.
The section provisionally allotted to Russia Includes part of the Bay of Biseny. There appears to be no particular eagerness to patrol these troublesome waters,
