 CAUGHT IN SPAIN
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Robert Fay. who was convicted of placing bombs on ships carrying supplies and troops 10 Europe and who escaped af- ter being sentenced to the penitentiary, has been apprehended in Spain. Secre- tary Lansing announced today that he is being brought back to the United States without extradition.
 Fay was arrested with several other German agents, indicted, tried and convicted in New York on charges of conspiring 10 destroy ships which were conveying food and munitions to Eu- rope by placing internal machines in their cargoes and attaching time bombs to their rudders. He was also connected with plots to destroy rail- road bridges in Canada and generally committing sabotage. being part of the vast agency created by Bcrnstortf, Bow Ed and von Papen of the German embassy.
 Some months ago he escaped from the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.' and successfully cluded pursuit until re- gently whep agents of the state de- partment located him in Spain.
 During a sensational trial, he test1- fled that he had deserted from the Ger man army and had fought with tho French. After having been convicted and sentenced. he addressed a letter tc President Wilson asking that he be deported to Germany.

 Thus as registration day might be as carly as September ). To have the first instalment of the new class l ready for camp by October it would be necessary to have the registration not later than September 15.

ADDING STARS TO
 THE SERVICE FLAG
(NeW York Times)

(NeW York Times)
 The casualty lists must bring change to our service flags, but there has been a good deal of questioning and uncertainty as 10 what change should be.
 The service flag is not official, Off, cial adoption of such an emblem has been discussed in congress. but no ac- tion has ever been taken. The adjutant general of the United States army, however has indorsed a memorandum by Lieutenant Colonel Nathan William MacChesney, judge advocate, N. A., Central department, which gives the status. so to speak, of the service flag and tells it's proper use, and it has, therefore, to quote Lieutenant Colonel MacChesney a semi official place. It was Lieutenant Colonel MacChesney who recommended the use of gold and silver stars on the flag. He says:
 The present service flag is owned by private parties, who have patented the same, but is recognized by the gov ernment and the flying of it is encour- aged
 Tt has been decided that, on these flags. blue star shall represent those in the military or naval service of the United States, a silver star those wounded or invalided home from over seas, with gold star SuperlmpOSed for those who die as the result of such wounds or disease. and a gold star alone for those killed in action
 short time ago Colonel MacChes- uev received 9 letter suggesting that d service flag pin with a gold star for a member of ones family killed in action be worn in lieu of mourning. He re- piled:
 "Considerable thought has been giv- on to this matter. In England the wearing of mourning has been discour- aged on the ground that it has a de- pressing effect. though it is generally seen on the continent It has been finally decided. after conference with those interested in the subject, to have those who have been killed in action represented on the service flag with a gold star. and to use a silver star to represent those who have been wounded or invalided home, superimposing a gold star in the event of death result ing from such wound or disability. Your suggestion therefore, is in ac- cordance with the above and would seem 10 be an appropriate one"

CROWDER PLANS FOR REG IST FER
 OF 13,000,O0O

fContinued from Page One) United States requires that the now nearly depleted reservoir of class men shall be replenished by more than 2,000.000 men available for full military service. On the basis of actuarial fig ures from insurance companies, census compilations and the experience of this office in the previous registration, it has been estimated that the required number of men from class 1 may be had only by including within the draft age limits men between g and 45 and between IS and 20. That is to say ap- preximately 13,0000G0 men must be ad- ded to the list of registrants in order that with all exemptions allowed, Tt least 100000 men will remain in class 1.
