SPAIN NAY BREAK
WITH GERMANS IS
LATEIONDONREPORT
Torpedoing Of Two Spanish
Steamers Has Caused
Serious Rupture

London, Aug. 13.-That break be-
TWEEN Spain and Germany is likely
was reported here this afternoon.
The sinking of two Spanish steamers
by German submarines red to con
siderable unrest in Madrid. This was
followed by the internment of the crew
of a U-beat that sought refuge in
Spanish port. In spite of this, the
Spanish cabinet, following special
meeting Sunday, issued a statement
declaring that it was vital for Spain
to maintain its neutrality.
Rumor Creates Interest.
Washington, Aug. l3.-Reports that
Spain may be- about to break with
Germany were received here with un-
disguised interest today.
Confidential reports here have long
indicated that Alphonso S has been ''on
the fence" awaiting developments.
There is a strong Germanophile elem
ent in the country, particularly in the
army, but reports show this element
has been greatly tempered by the think
ing classes in Spain.
Curtailments of raw materials to that
country, hampenng its great manu-
features, also had contributing in
fluence toward changing public opinion
and enthusiasm over German prowess,
The crudity of German diplomacy,
combined with the Teuton U-boat
activity against Spanish ships, shortage
of food and raw materials, and the
growing strength of the allies in the
west, all tended to win favor for the
allies. Recently, reports here show,
even former pro-Geman newspapers
have exclaimed over the great work
Of the American army and have ceased
to prate of German military prowess.
Spain is understood to have about
2 1000, 900 men who could be put fully
equipped, into military service.

Use Commission Funds
For Hospital---BeckWith

Harvey Beckwith, chairman of the
state industial accident commission, is
in favor of using funds Of the commits
sion to build special hospital for the
commission on the grounds Of the Uni
versity of Oregon Medical school in
Portland
He SAYS the business of the commits
sion is grown until a hospital is badly
needed to give the best attention to the
men injured in industrial accidents
throughout the state. The revenues of
the commission are now so large, he
points out, that one month s income
would be sufficient to build the hos
pital. 1t is his idea that in connee-
ton with the hospital should be an
administrative building for housing the
commission and its large force of EN-
ployes.
But before any such plan takes def
mite shape, he says the employrs and
employees who are the chief contribu-
tors to the industrial accident fund
should be consulted and should give
their approval. =,
"The money really belongs to them,
said Chairman Beckwith, land if they
approved the plan for building hos
pital do not believe there would be
any objection from other sources, as
the hospital would be built with their
money and would not cost the general
taxpayer a cent
Mr.. Beckwith is going to take the
matter up with some Of the biggest
employers, who contribute the largest
sums to the fund, and if they approve
the proposition would be put up to the
next legislature.

THOMPSON
RETURNS TOPRISON
Murderer Spends Pleasant
TwO-Week Vacation In
Western Oregon Hills

After a two weeks outing in the
hills, Bennett Thompson is back home
again. He is busy saving wood today.
Bennett Thompson is the man who
Mrs. Helen Jennings and
Fred Ristman, Portland jitney driver,
near Tualatin two years ago. He was
sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
state penitentiary.
But two weeks ago he and Fred Thur
ber left for short outing. They took
their departure by night by cutting
hole through the bars in the flume
which runs through the prison yards.
Thompson was captured yesterday
afternoon near Rainier, in Columbia
county, as he was taking a drink from
the Columbia river. While be had his
face down to the water, Deputy Sheriff
James Jesse slipped up behind him.
When Thompson turned to Sc who was
there he looked into the barrels of a
brace of revolvers, and had no choice
but to quietly surrender.
Warden Murphy, who was in Port
land with his automobile, was notified
and he went to st. Helens, where Depu-
ty Sheriff Jesse took Thompson, to
get the prisoner. The warden, with
Prison Guard Morelock, returned
Thompson to the prison last night.
And his vacation is over.
Thompson told his captors that if
he had been given five minutes more
time he would have crossed the river
and caught a freight train for Seattle,
from where he expected to beat his
way into Canada, where he intended
to join the Canadian army.
"And then | would like to have seen
you fellows try to get me back, he
said "You sure would have had some
time trying it, believe me. !"
He said he and Thurber, when they
left the prison, hiked along the Oregon
Electric to Malloy, and then to 0swego
Next they went to Milwaukee lanc
Lents, where they separated. Thomp
son made his way to st. Johns, where
he got a row boat and crossed to Linn
ton, from where he made his way ovel
mountain trails to Rainier.

STRATEGY OF FOCH
DOES NOT include
USELESS SLAUGHTER
Only Limited Objectiyes We're
Sought In Recent
Offensive
By j. w. T. Mason,
'fu,tod praSs Uar axnart \

New York, Aug. 15.-The allies ad-
vance is slowing down IN conformity
with Marshal Foch S settled policy of
not wasting the lives of his troops
when time is working so powerfully
on the side of the allied cause.
In substitution for direct assaults
with their heavy casualties to the at
taeking troops, Marshal Foch is again
reverting to his squeeze plays. Pres
sure at strategieal points is now the
dominant feature in plans now being
formed at Foeh's headquarters. The
Germans must eventually fall back to
the old Hindenburg line and beyond
the Chemin- -Des- Danes, as well, and
Marshal Foeh is showing that he will
not force this retirement within any
given number of days.
Neither the Marne attack nor the
present drive in Picardy constitutes a
true major offensive. Marshal Foeh
issued a firm veto in each series of
operations against any extension of the
assaults beyond strictly limited object
ives. The enemy was caught in traps
on both occasions and outguessed and
out-generalled.
During the Marne engagements, as
well as now, Marshal Foeh has revealed
that it is useless for Won Hindenburg
to seek to entrap the allies. At the
point where Won Hindenburg sets out
to "lure the allies on" Marshal Foeh
Immediately brings his commands to
a 'standstill. This display of caution
and of regard for the lives of his men
is in full conformity with Marshal
Foeh s ultimate strategy.
Neither Picardy nor the Chemin- Des
Danes, nor even the Belgian border
contains the allies main objective
That objective is the River Rhine and
beyond. 1t would be short sighteC
policy for Marshal Foeh to use up his
man power driving Won Hindenburs
back to Belgium by direct assaults
through French territory, in preference
to use this same man power for al
invasion of Germany. Once the al
lies, led by America s millions, are wei
into Germany, the rest will follow.
But, in the meantime, whenever Vol
Hindenburg commits gross errors o
strategy, Marshal Foeh's purpose is t.
take full advantage of these mistakes
Thus the allies casualties will be KEEP
down for the great drive to the Rhine
but meanwhile German morale will b
subjected to steady deterioration.

REPORTERS BARRED
BY CONSOLIDATION
COMMITTEE TODAY
Professor Matthews Report
Was Considered at Secret
Session This Morning

When the state consolidation commits
sion met today, its first official action
was to adopt a motion in favor of hold
ing a secret session, and the newspaper
men present were invited to leave.
The motion for a secret session was
made by Herman Won Borstel, secretary
of the commission, at the request Of Pro
fessor J. M. Matthews, the consolidation
expert employed by the commission. No
one seconded the motion, but Chairman
johnson put it to a vote. Won Borstel
voted aye; no one voted no, SO the mo-
tion was declared carried.
1t was stated that the commission
wanted to talk over a few things, and
probably this afternoon an open session
would be held when the newspaper rep
resentatives could be present.
The plan, as outlined, is to abolish all
elective state offices, except those of
the governor, secretary of state and
state treasurer, which are constitutional
and cannot be abolished without an
amendment to the constitution. In place
of the elective offices the governor will
be given authority to appoint practical
ly all the state officials, the same as
the kaiser now does in Germany.
1t is proposed.to divide the state gov
ernment into eight or nine departments
and provide for a chief or a commits
sioner TO head each department. In
most cases, these cOmmissionerships viii
be new and extra offices, while the pres
ent officials might be retained as bureau
chiefs under the commissioners.
