Spain Wants to Join Winner.
The Spaniards, It Is said,>are watch
ing thu critical progress of the war
with keen eyes. II she enters, she
wants to be on the winning side.
Her army is regarded today as
pro-German. As in many other coun-
tries, the officers of the army are
greatly impressed by the fetish OF
German military efficiency. Many Of
then have been trained in Germany
and are thoroughly Germanophile.
1t is claimed that Spain has mod
ern rifles for 100000 men. 1t is as
serted that there are 10000 German
reservists in the country, and that
when the Spanish army takes the
field the burden OF command will fall
upon 10000 trained German officers
already in the country with their
campaign well planned and every
man in his place"
Condition Facing United States.
In view of these conditions this
Government today Is directly faced
with the task. not only OF holding
Spain TO our conceptions Of neutral
ity, but to keep her from Joining
with Germany.
German submarines have been pro-
visioning and getting wireless infor-
nation along the Spanish coasts for
many months. Submarine crews have
been changed in Spanish harbors.
But despite her apparent leaning
toward the German cause-now ac-
'centuated by her embargo on sup
plies to the American fighting forces
Spain, II Is believed, would side
with the allies II she saw in them
a winner.
Hence this Government Is deter
mined to reach a definite underEtand
ing with Spain on several points, the
nature of which cannot be disclosed
now, and Spanish ships are tempor-
arily held in American ports pending
the adjustment.
Cutting off the Spanish manufac-
turer from his raw products shipped
from this country would serve, IL Is
reported, as a distinctly SOLDERING in
f1uence on any pro-German enthusi-
asm among the Spaniards.

PERS IN APPEAL CASES WITH i
DISTRICT COURT

The district board which handles all
appeal cases from local draft boards
in the 10 northern counties of Idaho
is in session at Standpoint today and
will be in session until the cases are
disposed of.
There are 180 appeals from reclassi-
fication in this county and about 100
agricultural classifications from La
tab county go to the district board.
The local board has all of the papers
in these cases ready and has sent
them to Standpoint. Ed. Snow, Latah
county member of the board, left for
Standpoint yesterday to be present
when the session opened this morning.
There is no doubt that many of the
appeals from this county will be dis
missed. The government is calling for
more men and has issued instructions
to appeal boards to be more strict in
their examinations and not to give
men deferred classification unless
they are clearly entitled to it.

The rout of the German army
continues. The allies are driving
the Huns before them, takine
more towns, more prisoners anC
more guns. Frank A. SimOnds
a military expert writer, in de-
scribing the battle which had
been going on for several days
says the losses to the Germans
are greater than any losses ever
sustained by that nation in its
history, not even being equled
when Napoleon defeated the
Prussians. The German army
has not been captured, but it has
been defeated and is fighting a
rear-guard action, losing ground,
munitions, arms and prisoners
hourly. 1t is only with great
difficulty and good generalship
that the German army is able to
escape annihilation, but it prob
ably never will recover from the
defeat that is being administer
ed to it.
The allies are giving the Huns
no rest. Day and night the at
tacks go on, the pounding pro-
cess" as General Pershing calls
it, never letting up for an hour.
This morning the French start
ed new attack at 8:15 and at
Il o'clock had taken three towns
and a valued height overlooking

French and Americans are ad
vancing steadily and the Ger
mans, although bringing rein
forcements and heavy guns from
other points to strengthen the
weakened army, are unable to
stop the onward advance of the
allies

Severe fighting is in progress between

where the British have made further

of Rheims the French are reported to

sitions between the river Suippes and the
town of Massiges.
The Germans defensive has noticeaD1y
stiffened on the western side OF the
Rheims Scissors salient, but, although
large numbers of reserves have beer
thrown into the fighting, the manervers
seem to be more in the nature of
strong rear guard action designed to help
the large forces of the enemy in the
Chateau Thierry pocket to escape north
eastward than purpose to stand and
give battle with the ultimate aim of
holding or beating back the Franco-Am-
