ONE-FITTH OF TONNAGE LOST

Neutrality Will BE Maintained.
IBy Associated Press. |

PARIS, August 21.-Spain has in
formed Germany that because of the
serious inroads submarine sinkings
have made into Spanish shipping Spain
hereafter will use German vessels now
/ in Spanish ports in place of tonnage
sunk. This announcement; is made in
an official statement issued after n
meeting OF the Spanish Cabine; ut San
Sebastian.
The Spanish government declares
that it will continue to maintain strict
neutrality. The statement says that 90
per cent of the Spanish merchant ma
rine has been sunk and more than 100
Spanish sailors killed.
The Cabinet statement. which is
transmitted from Madrid by the Havas
Cency, says:
"In the course of the recent meetings
held at Madrid the government consid-
cred the international situation.
AS consequence of the submarine
campaign more than 90 per cent of our
merchant marine has been sunk. more
than 100 Spanish sailors have persisted.

TAKES STEP TO REPLACE
LOST SPANISH SHIPPING
The government has believed that

sadie neutrality. to defer the adoption
of measures necesSady to guarantee
Spanish maritime traffic and to protect
Spanish crews and passengers.
consequently the government has
decided to address the imperial Ger
man government. and declare that,
owing to reduction of tonnage to its
extreme limit. il will be obliged in case
Of new sinkings to substitute therefor

ports. his measure does not imply the
confscation of the ships under definite
title. 1t would pc only temporary
solution until the establishment OF
peace when Spanish claims also will be

Our ambassador at Berlin has re-
ceived instructions to bring this de-
cision to the notice of the German gov
eminent. The Spanish government
does not doubt that the German gov
ernment will appreciate the circum-
stances determining this resolution and
will recognize that Spain, in holding to
the neutrality she has practiced since
the beginning Of the war, has sacrificed
man yof her rights and legitimate con-
veniences when 1t has been possible
without affecting the dignity OF Spain
and her national life.

EXPERT WAR OPINIONS

Most of the so called Expert War
Opinions" that flood the newspapers
every day, are purely guess work and
lead TO WEAKNESS of the flesh. But
now and then an opinion by an out
slider" might be taken as rejecting
the situation from a, neutral stand
point. A case in point is the follow
ing statement by the foremost Scan
dinavian military critic, Captain Nor
regard, whose opinions hitherto have
seemed generally to put the best com.
plexion on the German prospect.
That the entente troops during the
past week or two have broken through
the Germans most important and
strongest lines of defense is admitted
They have demolished the Wotan
line, probably the strongest defense
ever raised in human warfare. Despite
German toll for a year and half to
provide il with every conceivable obs
stacle, including steel and concrete
bIockhouses, forests of barbed wire,
thousands of machine guns and trench
after trench in FIVE successive belts.
the whole of this extraordinary strong
system of Notifications TO the defense
of which the Germans detailed power
full forces the English succeeded in
breaking through in a couple of days.
This is a great result. The Bermans
in their communique refers to the en-
tente's enormous forces. Doubtless it
is true that they are enormous, but
there is reason TO believe that the
Germans exerted all the power they
possessed in a sector possessing such
great strategical significance for them
and when they cannot check an at
tack it can hardly be construed as any
thing but demonstration that their
offensive earlier in the year has so
weakened them that they are no long
er as strong as the enemy
Captain Noregaard refers to Baron
Won Ardennes' estimates in the BeT
linger Tageblatt that the English have
now thrown-in all six armies into the
line in northern France and Flanders.
that the French have thrown their
whole weight into the battle and that
the Americans have thrown half of
their fully trained forces into the
struggle. these forces amounting in all
to 100000 men.
Against these the Germans have on
ly four armies engaged in the battle,
Won Bellows Won der Marwitz's, Won
Hutier's and Won Carlowitz's, but he
says that il seems highly probable
that these armies have been greatly
reinforced Fl ON the German reserves

mo sign whatever can yet be seen
that the Germans have any large Of
fensive pending. As 7 see the situa-

again. Old newspapers and torn
wrapping papers are collected for
the mills, whence they reappear as
cartridge paper. In the happy com.
ing times of peace they will reappear
as packing paper, and the forests OF
the world will be spared part OF the
old tax on them by the economy
which the war has taught us.
I'M the United States, country OF
such great natural wealth that Law.
ishness is almost inevitabls. there
is a movement afOot TO utilize the
immense hears of slack" coal. 1t
is pointed out that countries poorer
in coal make this slack into fuel bri-
Guettes. The United States is learn
ing now TO do likewise.
4 The utilization Of rice-waste, of OLD
tins. of old leather, of flax-waste, are
instances in point. In another di-
restior the world is winning great adj
vantages from the superior organiza-
ton and concentration of industrial
undertakings. A current proposal in
Great Britain is for an effective re-
OISdiiEIlill VI t4lS uhcltNN0S w CIV
trio supply. by which, it is estimat,
ed. millions of tons of coal can be
saved annually. The proposal is a
direct outcome of research in the
problems of production due to the
WAR. There are many similar ones.
Humanity is going to benefit one day
rom some or all of them. But on
the whole we have derived no great
sr economic benefit from the re-ex
animation of our, industrial life in
duced by the war, than that which
has come from the better, understand
ing Of the land question. In spirit
| of wild waste, which is only now
coming TO be understood and deplor
ed, the older countries were gradu
ally allowing their lands to pass out
of cultivation, trusting to make vi
their food supplies from the exploit
| alton OF virein lands. Before the
war the effect of this was becoming
relt by the general advances of bono
prices, especially of meat. Now, az
4 consequence of the war, the lane
is beginning to be more wisely re
garded. Even in the United States
a comparatively new country, the
land had begun to pass out of cult
ration; but il is now knowing the
blow again because of war needs.
| While war continues the benefit o
this movement towards economy ant
reorganization are bong consumed
in the furnace of the worldwide cam
paign. They have to go into the
balance against German destructive
ness. But when peace comes these
benefits will continue to operate, anC
they will be the means of a .highe
standard of human comfort than wa!
ever before realized.

NO coVENANTEp PEACE.

America, unless We repudiate civ
ilization and abandon humanity and
gut a premium on savagery and bru-
tality. can make no covenanted peace,
no peace by agreement or negotia,
ton with. Germany. 1t would be a
covenant with hell, partnership
with infamy.
Nor would such a peace secure
peace. except so long as it suited
Germany. We can, judge the future
only by the past, and to Germany
sacred treaties are scraps of paper
only. Germany's while history is 2
record of national treachery, national
bad faith, national dishonor, nation.
al murder, and national infamy.
The best answer to German peace
propaganda is sinking more U-boats,
sending more men to France, speed
ing up our work along every line,
and heavy subscription to the Fourth
Liberty Loan. Peace must mean
the triumph OF right and justice, the
iefeat of Germanism, not truce
with it, not a compromise with it.

were turned toward Maine during the
first week in September of every even
numbered year. and. on the morning
after the first Monday after the first
Tuesday there was rush for the
news to see how Maine went"
Do you recall the election of 1884
and of 1886, how Maine was regarded
as the political barometer of the coun-
try?
"As Maine goes in September the
country win go in November" was the
slogan.
1t is the last state to hold out for
the early election. Vermont held to
the practice of a September election
until 1914, and then changed the date
TO November hut Vermont never was
a doubtful state, and therefore, no in
dex TO the sentiment of the country.
1t voted the Republican ticket as regu-
larly as u paid taxes, and its Septem-
Der majoFitiss had little effect upon
the campaign throughout the country.
But Maine is different. Maine some
times goes Democratic, particularly if
there is landslide against the Repub-
lican partys
But this year Maine neld an.election
without attracting, sufficient attention
to cause a ripple of excitement. How
ever, if there was anything in the old
tradition as to the vote in Maine, the
Republicans have all the best of it
this year. For if Maine overlooked Civ
ing the Republicans everything in
sight at Mondays election it appears
to have been an accident, and what
ever the Democrats saved out of the
wrick was not regarded as worth a
place in the election news Items.
