WHY GUY EMPEY
 LOST COMMISSION

Arthur Guy Empey. soldier, author, lost his chance for commission i'll the United States army by a fiery curtain speech on the stage of the National theatre in Washing ngtoa-Eays the New York World. He was appearing in a new play, "Pack Up Your Troubles, Presidents Wilson was present.
 The real heroes of the war, Empey declared in effect. were the volunteers who went over in the first place. ana not the drafted men who are fighting now only because they were compell- ed to do so. Empey ended with a flourish, but the expected burst or applause did not follow.
 While the commission had been rec commended, it had not been signed ana delivered. and three days later ca..c the announcements that there had been mistake in connection with the granting of a captaincy to the former sergeant.

FUGITIVE HUN SPY
 CAUGHT IN SPAIN

New York, Aug. 15.- 'Lieutenant' Robert Fay, the German plotter, whose arrest in Spain was announced today by Secretary Lansing, had served only few months of an eight year term when he escaped with an other prisoner from the federal pen at Atlanta, Ga, by means of forged passes. Both men were employed as electricians and had more privileged than other prisoners.
 Fay, who came to the United States from Rotterdam in 1915, under the name of H. A. Kealring, first came to public notice when he was arrest ed near Grantwood, N. J., in October, 1915, on suspicion that he was con- spring to destroy munition ships.
 Indicted and later re-indicted on five counts, he pleaded not guilty, but it was reported that he would turn states evidence. He failed to do sc, howev>.> andlt was assumed that he assumed all the blame in order to shield other conspirators "higher up."

U-bOATS AFRAID Y() ATTACK !. {.
 1ROOP SHIPS $
Raids on Unarmed Vessels Part of "Frightfulness''
 Campaign.

Washington. August lo.-German submarines carrying out raids in American waters are of the cruiser type, very probably converted mer- chantmen like the Deutschland, which made two peaceful trips to the United States before this country entered the War
 They are slow speed craft with great cruising radius, carrying large crews, o.5 inch guns. and mine laying equipment ts well as torpedoes.
 These conclusions have been drawn by naval officers from detailed re- ports which have been gathered from time to time since tho u-boats first ap- peared off the Atlantic coast last May.
 The largest of them is not more than 800 feet long and officers are satisfied they are not the super-s5tlb- marines which frequent reports of late have said Germany was building
 II may now be stated that the raid CTS have made no attacks on troop ships leaving for Europe and that none have been sighted by outbound transports or conveying w2rshipS
 This fact, together with the general character of the operations of the sub mersibes is accepted here generally as proof that the sole purpose of the raids to hinder commerce as much as possible and incidentally to carry the German campaign of "frightfulness" to the United States.

 Flyer.

With the American Army in France, Aug. 15.-tBp The Associated Press s)-Capt. Charles J. Riddle of Andalusia, Pa, is the latest American aviator to bring down German air plane.
 While cut with a patrol this morn ing Captain Riddle met three mono planes north of Flrey. The Ameri- cans attacked and one of the German machines fell apparently out of con- trol It vanished in the mist, so that Captain Biddle's victory has not yet been confirmed.
 Lieut.. Vaughn R. Mccormick of Columbus, Ohio, got his second off cial German airplane yesterday when he engaged the enemy in the air north of St. Mihiel. French observers have confirmed the destruction of the Ger man.
 Another enemy machine was shot down August 10 by Capt. Ray c Bridgeman of Lake Forest Ill.,, near Xivray in the destruction of which Lieut.. Mccormick also shares official ly.
 Additional American victories in the air include a monoplane apparent ly shot down by lieut.. Hermann Schultz of Bettendorf, Iowa, which went down in steep dive through the clouds over Flrey after 375 shots had been fired at it, and biplane attacked by Lieut.. Edgar c. Tobin of San Antonio, in the vicinity of Eve zen.

the bill within a few days and it then will te sent to tho house.
 The committees action in report ing the bil, the report says. is "bas- ed upon the necessity of the govern ment in this crisis and upon the opinion of the secretary of war, the chief of staff and the provost mar shal general that it would be better to extend the draft ages than to 'sin- wade these classes which have been deferred by law and by regulations Of the war department"
 Work or Fight Clauses.
 Regarding the work or fight amend ment or Senator Reed, providing for withdrawal of deferred classification from men absent from work without cause, the report says:
 Tt seems to the committee that in view of the fact we are about to au- thorize the drafting of boys between the ages of Is and Fl as well as those above 21 up to and including of A. and the providing for the exemption of men between IS and 45 who are engaged in useful and necessary occu- pations from aetual service in the cIhS, tDCb WIlcH ally dIc CAGlIplSu solely from the cause their services are more valuable to the nation in the production of things essential to the prosecution of the war, that when they cease in good faith to follow the essential ocupation they ought to be subject to the draft as in other cases.
 "The young men not engaged in these occupations must wear the uni form, enter the ranks and bare nis breast to the weapons of the Ger man army. He cannot refuse to work even for an hour and he is con- pelled to fight whether he feels dis posed to do so or not. In view of this. when a young man is exempted from the draft solely in order that he may engage in an essential indus try he ought to continue in that en- ployment in good faith while any pre- viance is being adjusted by the in dustrial board and if he fails to do so he ought to be subject 10 draft.
 "The provision does not pretend to interfere with the right of any man to cease labor when any man pleases to do so but simply says to him that if he does cease he shall. under such regulations as the president may pres cribe. subject himself to the draft as though he had not been exempted in the first instance"

central powers invited the entente nations to take part in the Brest- ] Lltovsk peace negotiations with a view to a general peace by under standing.
 "The entente however permitted the period fer participation in the negotia tions to pass"
 Admiral Hinze reviewed the conditions of peace that had been laid down in other speeches of Premier Lloyd George. in messages of Presi- dent Wilson and in the declarations of the entente allies conference at Yer sailles and the views expressed by the erman chancellors and Count Czernip. former Austro- Hungarian foreign min ister
 He said that several German chan cellors had pointed out that the enemy continued to show a will to prosecute the war until the annihiation of Ger many should be accomplished. : Subsequent developments have shown the same picture" Admiral von .Hintze declared.
 Efforts Met With Contempt.
 Same propositions wherever they Originate-1 with a view to bringing about by Authorized persons reason able preliminary discussion aiming at peace by arrangement have been treat ed with contempt and disdain
