Britain Wider Accord Of Neutrality

DISTURBED BY GERMAN WARSHIPS' MOVEMENTS

London, Aug. 4.

Official circles are disturbed over the movements of

the German pocket-battleship, Deutschland, which steamed in front of Ceuta yesterday when Spanish Government warships were engaged against the 'rebels' stronghold, thus making a continued bombardment by the loyal flest impossible.

The anxiety is not diminished by the report that the Deutschland's officers were received by General Franco, the rebel commander-in-chief, in Ceuta.- Reuter.

BRITISH ATTITUDE

Paris, Aug. 4.

The British reply to the French note with regard to assurances of non-intervention in Spain states His Majesty's Government is prepared to agree to the suggested issue of a neutrality declaration if France obtains the adherence of Italy.

The note adds that it is considered in London that such British, French and Italian declarations should be only preliminary to an agreement to be negotiated diplomatically among all the powers interested in Spain, particularly Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Portugal-Renter.

Britain Agrees

London, Aug. 4. 'Great Britain agrees, in principle, with the proposal for a non-interven tion pact-Rinder.

It is asserted that eighteen other bom- bers have also gone to the war zone The paper says it is noteworthy that the foreign planes which recently flew While oficial circles are reticent over French Morocco were of Italian with regard to the nature of the design.
