Interned Hun
Ships Seized
Another U-Boat Sinking
Drives Government to
Drastic Action
by The Associated Press)


MADRID, Aug 31.-The Spanish gov
ernment tonight decided to take over
all the German steamships interned in
Spanish ports, in accordance with
Spain's recent note to Berlin, because
OF the torpedoing of Spanish vessels by
German submarines.
Foreign Minister Dato announced at
meeting of the Cabinet tonight that
the Spanish steamship Ataz- Mendi,
carrying coal from England to Spain,
had been torpedoed and sunk by Ger
man submarine. The crew of the ves-
sci was saved.
A semi official note issued after
meeting of the Cabinet said that the
'Minister~of Foreign Affairs Informed
the Cabinet of the sinking Of the Span
lsh steamer Carasa on August %, and
that he had asked the Spanish Consul
at Cardiff, where the survivors were
landed, to telegraph full details of the
sinking.
The Minister of the Interior gave the
Cabinet the names of certain news
papers which had refused to obey the
censorship. The minister was in
structed to appeal to the patriotism of
these papers and to apply the law
strictly "if they were unwilling to
listen to his advice"
MADRID, Sept. 1.--Announcement
was made by Foreign Minister Dato to-
day that it had been decided to trans
form the food commissariat into food
ministry.

lBu The Associated Pressl

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 1.-The American
troops in their drive beyond Juvigny
last night and to-day advanced about
two miles and captured nearly 600 pris-
oners, together with considerable war
supplies.
Again the German defences north Of
scissors have been cracked by the
Americans, who tonight have made Sc
cure their new positions near Terry
Sorny and on line along the Bethun-
court-Soissons road.
The Americans are still at the apex
of the Allied forces in that part of the
general front, and the commanding Off
GER, the French General Mangin, to-day
supplemented his messages of con-
graduation, expressing to the American
commander admiration for his units
work and frankly admitting slight sur
prise that troops comparatively new
should have conducted themselves with
such dash and brilliancy.
The advance from J,gigny began at
4 o'clock Saturday, and the Americans
had gained their objective by o'clock
at night. Ragged points in the new
line were smoothed out to-day.
In addition to the 600 prisoners two
pieces of artillery were captured and a
great number Of machine guns and
trench mortars. Trenches, she'll holes
and the open field were strewn with
German dead
Field Day for Americans
The drive forward from the positions
north and south of Juvigny proved a
field day for the Americans and their
allies, the French. The artillery
blasted a way through the enemy ranks,
tearing down defences and levelling the
ground, while Allied planes maintained
complete and uninterrupted connection
by radio with battery commanders
throughout the engagement.
The infantry, when called upon for
it's part in the dramatic venture, re-
sponded like veteran troops after a
long period of rest, and with enthu-
slastic shouts began the pursuit OF
the Germaqs who were not caught in
the terrific barrage.
With the infantry went the tanks
and it was a different story from
that when they first advanced against
Juvigny. Two companies, thirty
tanks, had been detailed for the work
They were light, twoman French
tanks, capable of speed over rough
ground of ten or fifteen miles an
hour, and almost as easily handled as
an automobile. Their work was per-
formed admirably and full advantage
When the order for the advance was
given the Americans leaped out of

President in Labor Day
Message Tells How
Scope of War Has
Broadened
Fighting for All
Free Men Cherish
Workers Held To Be
Just as Important in
Winning Victory
as Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.--All
Americans are addressed as fellow
enlisted men of single armye of
many parts but commanded by
single obligation, by President Will
son in Labor Day message made
public tonight at the White House.
The object is to win "the war of all
wars which labor should support,
and support with all it's consecrated
power"
At first, the President says, this
hardly seemed more than a war of
defence against military aggression;
now it is clear that it is more than
war to alter the balance of power
of Europe; that Germany is striking
at what free men everywhere desire
and must have-the right to deter
mine their own fortunes. Labor
Day, 1918, therefore, is supremely
important, he declares, because:
"The laborer is not only as much
needed as the soldier. 1t is his war.
The soldier Is his champion and rep
resentative. To fail to win would
be to imperil everything that the
laborer has striven for and held
dear since freedom first had it's
dawn and his struggle for justice
began"

Repeated Indignities

From Pro-Ger,1ar,is,77

Feeling in Spain against GERMANY
mas increased rapidly with the repeat
ed disregard by German submarine
commanders of Spanish rights on the
high sea and the failure of the Berlin
government to respect the demands of
King Alfonso's government or to keen
agreements made with it.
Spain has objected not only to the
sinking of Spanish ships engaged in
neutral trade, but has had Serious
cause for protest to Berlin in the yio-
lation of Spanish territorial waters bv
German U-boats. On two occasions
submarines have sunk ships of other
natlonallty. within Spanish waters and
nave lnterfered with traffic which was
not on the high seas.

German Chancellor in :
Speech Expresses Con-
Germ Over the Outlook

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 31.-Count Won
Hertling, the Imperial German Chan
cellor, expressed to-day anxiety over
the outlook in an address to deleea-
ton of representatives of the Catholic
Students Union.
According to Berlin dispatch, the
Chancellor spoke of the sacrifice. and
the demands of war, and declared s;o-
nificantly that in addition to the sacr;
fees of blood, from which hardly anv
family had been entirely spared. "there
are difficulties of food and clothing and
manifold dcprivations 8. the present
time, and I am anxiou: concerning the
outlook for the future"
War, the Chancellor said, was and is
the greatest possible experience for the
nation. 1t manifests itself, he con-
tnued, among Germany's enemies in
the form of hatred bordering on in
sanity" while among the Germans it
displays its effects, principally in
ternally, in strengthening the inclina-
ton to criticism against the govern
ment and its measures.
Danger of Internal Strife
This criticism intensified party an
tagonism, the Chancellor added, and he
warned the students that "therein,
gentlemen, there is undoubtedly
danger"
The Chancellor continues:
mot that there is any real convul-
sion in the life of the state to be
feared from this. Our German nation
is IN its overwhelming majority too
clear sighted and intelligent for that.
But there is danger, owing to the i'm
preston caused among our enemies.
They dream Of an impending internal
collapse, they construct their strong
hold of victory thereon, and for its
sake prolong the war.
"What We Need Is Cohesion"
"There is, therefore, in this matter
special need for remedy. What we
need is united and firm cohesion be-
tween the Emperor and empire and
the government and the people, so that
it may be clear to the outside world
and NAV not be obscured bv q cloud
of differences OF opinion expressed in
writing or by word of MOUTH
1t was every ones duty to contribute
to this end and assist in strengthening
"the united front at home" said the
Chancellor, adding:
"The army command regards the mil
itary situation with complete calm and
confidence, even though it has been
obliged, for strategical reasons, to
withdraw our lines at several points.
Our glorious troops will continue to
beat back the tremendous onset of
the enemy arms until our adversaries
perceive that they cannot destroy US
and are therefore on their part ready
for an understanding.
"This day shall come, because it must
come If Europe is not to bleed to
death and European culture sink into
the misery of barbarism. We implore
the Almighty, who hitherto so clearly
has stood by us, that we may not have
to wait too long for this day"

Text of Message

The Presidents message follows:
MY fellow citizens, Labor Day,
1918, is not like any Labor Day
that we have known. Labor Day
was always deeply significant with
US. Now it is supremely signifi-
cant. Keenly as we were aware a
year ago of the enterprise of life
and death upon which the nation
had embarked, we did not perceive
Its meaning as clearly as we do
now. We knew that we we're all
partners and must stand and
strive together, but we did not
realize as we do now that we are
all enlisted men, members of
single army, of many parts and
many tasks, but commanded by a
single obligation, our faces set
toward a single object.
I'VE now know that every tool
IN every essential industry is a
weapon, and weapon welded
1or the same purpose that an
army rifle is wielded-a weapon
which, if we were to lay down, no
rifle would be of any use.
And weapon for what?
What is the war for? Why are
we enlisted? Why should we be
ashamed if we were not enlisted?
AT first it seemed hardly more
'nan war of defence against the
military aggression Of Germany.
Belgium had been violated, France
invaded, and Germany was afeld
