ALSATIANS USED
ON WEST FRONT
(By Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 21.-The German com
mand is faced by a more or less ser
rious difficulty as a result of the pres
ence on the western front Of divisions
containing tens of thousands of sol
diers from Alsace and Lorraine. who
up to this time never have been en-
ployed in active lighting against the
French. A captured German order
declares that the Germans were un-
able any longer to keep the Alsatians
and Lorrainers away from the western
front.
Other documents, reiterating an Or
der issued by the German Crown
Prince, instruct the commanders of
the various units to keep the men
from AlsaceLorraine under the clos
est surveillance and not to utilize
them at critical points in the line as
many desertions had been reported.
Alsatians and LOrrainers must never
be left alone in the fighting zone, but
must always be accompanied by Ger
man soldiers in whom absolute conf
dence can be placed" one order I,ys.
1t is added that any soldier from AL
sace-Lorraine that comes under sus-
picion must be treated with an iron
hand.

SPAIN TO SEIZE
HUN SHIPS FOR
TONNAGE SUNK
Twenty Percent Of Spanish
Merchant Marine Sunk, by
Subs-lOO Sailors Killed.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. 21.-Spain has inform
ed Germany that because of the seri
Gus inroads submarine sinkings have
made into Spanish shipping, Spain
hereafter will use German vessels
now in Spanish rorts in place of ton
mage sunk This announcement IS
made in an Official statement issued
after meeting of the Spanish cabinet
at San Sebastian.
The Spanish government declares
that it will continue to maintain strict
neutrality. The statement says that
twenty percent Of the Spanish mer-
chant marine has been sunk.
The cabinet statement which is
transmitted from Madrid by the Havas
Agency says:
''In the course Of the recent meet
ings held at Madrid the government
considered the International situation.
'As a consequence of the submarine
campaign more than twenty percent
of our merchant marine has been sunk,
more than 100 Spanish sailors have
perished a considerable number of
sailors have been wounded and num-
bers have been shipwrecked and aban.
doned Ships needed exclusively for
Spanish use have been torpedoed with
out the slightest pretext. serious diff
culties resulting to navigation.
Will Continue Neutral.
"The government has believed that
it is unable without failing in its
essential obligations and without set
ting aside neutral 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 it's
extreme limit, it will be obliged in
case of new sinkings to substitute
therefor German vessels interned in
Spanish ports. This measure does not
imply the confiscation of the ships un-
der definite title. 1t would be only
temporary solution until the estab-
lishment Of peace when Spanish claims
also will be liquidated
"Our ambassador at Berlin has re-.
ceived instructions to bring this deci-
sion to the notice of the German gov
ernment The Spanish government
does not doubt that the German gov
eminent will appreciate the circum-
stances determining this resolution
and will recognize that Spain. in hold
ing to the neutrality she has practiced
since the beginning of the war, has
sacrificed many of her rights and legit-
innate conveniences when 1t has been
possible without affecting the dignity
of Spain and her national life
"The decision of the government to
assure for itself sufficient tonnage,
which is indispensable to its existence,
does not affect its firm resolve to
maintain strict neutrality"
