Unless all signs fail ve have reach-
cd . new crisis in the allied opera
tions between Arras and Rheims. and
. German retreat on . rather wide
front behind the line of the upper
Somme seems now q question OF
hours. The comparison today Is with
the situation in the first two days OF
August in the Marne salient. just be-
fore the Germans made their swift
to the line Of the Vesie.
What has apparently happened In
the past ten days since the Germans
temporarily brought the Anglo
French thrust to halt before the old
somme front line IL this: Slowly but
surely Gen. Debenys nrst French
army. then Gen. Humbert's third
French army and finally. Gen. Man.
gins tenth French army have moved

tage points of observation. they have
occupied the crest Of the high ground
about Lassigny. they have pushed up
between the Oise and the Aisne, and
in very recent days taken the high
ground looking north over the Disc
valley from Noyon to La Fere.
Had the purpose of the German
been to make a permanent stay on
his old Somme front It was Of utmost
importance to him to retain these
observation posts and to hold the
high ground about Lassigny. just as
1t was equally important for him in
the Marne salient to hold the high
ground Immediately north of Fere-
en-Tardenois. But we are bound to
conclude from his eouEse Z. that he
adopted on August ls with respect to
the Somfne situation" the same policy
which he adopted with respect to the
Aarne situation on July 10. In other
words. he decided to conduct q rear
guard and delaying operation as long
a. possible to enable his commanders
to get heavy artillery, and supplies
out Of the threatened sectors. but he
envisaged an ultimate retirement to

SPAIN TOUT|L|zE
SHIPS OF GERMANY
In Place of Spanish Vessels,
Sunk by U-Boats, Govern
ment Says.
TO STAY NEUTRAL IN WAR
By the Associated Press.

by tne Afsoc13te0 Press.
MADRID. August 21.-Spain will
! utilize German vessels now in Span
! ish ports in place of Spanish ships
sunk by German submarines and will
| continue to observe neutrality -.
This decision il announced In an
| official statement issued after a
meeting of the cabinet at San Se-
bastian. The Spanish ambassador at
Berlin has been instructed to inform
the German government of this ao-
tion. The cabinet statement reads:
Text Of Statement.
TN the course of the recent meet
| ings held at Madrid the government
considered the international situa-
ton.
| las a consequence Of the subrna-
| of our merchant marine has been
| sunk. more than 100 Spanish sailors
| have perished. considerable num-
and numbers have been shipwrecked
| and abandoned Ships needed ex-
clusively for Spanish use have been
| torpedoed without the slightest pro
| text, serious difficulties resulting to
navigation.
1.-The government has believed that
it is unable, without failing in its
essential obligations and without set
| ting aside neutrality. to defer the
adoption Of measures necessary to
| and to protect Spanish crews and
| passengers.
Confscation Not Implied.
Consequently the government has
decided to address the imperial Ger
ing to reduction of tonnage to its eI-
! tIeme limit it will be obliged in case
OF new sinkings to submit therefor
German vessels interned in Spanish
the confiscation of the ships under
definite title. 1t would be only a tenn
porary solution until the establish
ment of peace when Spanish claims
also will be liquidated.
Our ambassador to Berlin has re-
| ceived instructions to bring this de-
clslon to the notice of the German
government The Spanish govern
ment does not doubt that the German
government will appreciate the cir
cumstances determining this resolu-
tion, and will recognize that Spain,
in holding to the neutrality she has
practiced since the beginning OF the
| war, has sacrificed many of her rights
and legitimate conyeniences when il
has been possible without affecting
the dignity of Spain and her national
life.
Spain to Stay Neutral.
| ''The decision of the government
to assure for itself sufficient tonnage,
| which is indispensable to its exist
ence. does not affect its firm resolve
to maintdln strict neutrality"
The Spanish cabinet statement prob.
ably is intended TO explain the confu-
! sion arising out of reports that Spain
f., had sent formal note to the German
government Dispatches from Madrid
have quoted Premier Dato as denying
that new note had been sent. but on
the other hand, the communication to
Berlin was characterised by Minister
of War Marina as note. 1t APPEARS
| that the action taken was in the form
! of instructions to the Spanish am,
| bassador in Berlin personally TO COM
| municate the cabinets decision to the
German foreign office. thus leaving
open the road to further diplomatic
discussions.

Tho enforcement Of the selectfve

the undivided attention of many

to say that no one outside the provost

that they did not marry to escape the

The office of the provost marshal

stating that 'the purpose of the Sc

the institution of marriage among
registrants." Accordingly. those in
