and it is pointed out that in addi-
ton Spain has undertaken the rep

various belligerent countries.
Nevertheless. the note continues,
in return for these services and for

Germany has persisted constantly

lifeboats. The captain estimated
that the undersea boat was about
400 feet long.

Declares u. S.
Is War Crazy

Amsterdam, Aug. 16.-Comment-
ing on the recent interview given
by Admiral Won Hintze, the Ger
man foreign secretary, in which he
laid responsibility for continuation
of the war upon the entente, the
Frankfort Gazette says:
We must continue the hard and
bitter struggle for the defense OF
the fatherland, for our enemies
show little inclination for peace,
and neither from Lloyd nor Glenn
enceau is any readiness Tor an un-
derstanding to be expected.
The daily increasing influence
of America upon the entente is Of
still greater Importance. Any sign
of desire for an understanding on
the part of the European allies is
counterbalanced by the war craze
of the United States. In such cir
cumstances there is nothing to be
done but to repTess all premature
hopes and arm ourselves with
courage and perseverance for the
next developments"

WAR SUMMARY

Allied pressure has been Ell
festiYely renewed against the
German line in the region OF
R0ye. The enemy is clinging
determinedly 10 this town as a
bulWark TO the positions he
took up after being driven from
the AmienS region.
Both French and British are
pushing closer to ROye, how
ever, thus making il doubtful
whether the Germans will be
able to hold ii much longer.
London last night reported
the British lines advanced
northwest OF ROye, and today
Paris reports fOTWa ard move
ment by the French west and
southwest Of ROye, on Il front
OF two and half miles.
Apparently the Germans have
completed their retreat in
Flanders, but il i not yet
known how far they have
ithdrawn, but it il reported
the enemy has Withdrawn ON
from one 10 two miles on IL nine
mile front Albert l. still held
by the Germans, but the Brit
ish occupy the western out
skirts Of the city.
The German guniire and aer-
ial activity has died down along
the Nesle, where the French and
Americans continue their pres
sure.
The total German losses
since the beginning Of the war
TO the end OF July, 1915, are put
III 5000. 900.
The L. ;. army casualty list
today contains 43 names.
