The Third Secretary of Embassy in Spain (Wendelin) to the Secretary of State

X–266. Decree of Ministry of War, dated October 29, published in Gaceta de Madrid today, makes liable for military service all male Spaniards 20 to 45 years of age inclusive. I have addressed note verb ale to Ministry of State requesting that Spanish employees of the Embassy and Consulate be exempted from provisions of this decree.
