SPAIN APOLOGET|C
FOR USING HUN SHIPS
Just Appropriating Them Tempo
rarily While Own Are Being
Sunk by U-Boats.
by Associated Press TO Every Evening

Paris, Aug. 2i-Spain has informed
Germany because of the serious inroads
submarine sinkings have made into
Spanish shipping, Spain hereafter will use
German vessels now In Spanish ports
in place of tonnage sunk. This announce
ment is made in an official statement
issued after n meeting of the Spanish
cabinet at San Sebastian.
The Spanish government declares IT
will continue to maintain strict neu-
trality. The statement says 20 per cent
of the Spanish merchant marine has been
sunk and more than one hundred Spanish
sailors killed
The cabinet statement, transmitted
from Madra q by the Havas agency, says
IN part:
"rhe government has believed 1t is
unable, without failing in its essential
obligations and without setting aside
neutrality. To defer the adoption of
measures necessary TO guarantee Spanish
maritime traffic and 10 protect Spanish
crews and passengers.
consequently the government has
decided to address the Imperial German
government and declare that owing to
reduction Of tonnage IN its extreme
limit, it will be obliged IN ease OF new
sinkings 10 substitute therefor German
vessels interned in Spanish ports. This
measure docs not imply the conhscatlon
of the ships under definite title It
would hc only temporary solution until
the establishment of peace when Spanish
claims also will be liquldated
"Our ambassador at Berlin has received
instructions To bring this decision to the
notice of the German government. The
Spanish government docs not doubt that
the German government will appreciate
the circumstances determining tins reso-
luton and wil recognize that Spain,
IN holding to the neutrality she has prac-
ticed SINCE the beginning Of the war. has
sacrificed many Of her rights and legltI-
matc convenienccs when It has been
possible without affecting the dignity OF
Spain and her national life.
Tho decision Of the government to
assure for itself sufficient tonnage, which
is indispensable TO its existence, does not
affect It's firm resolve to maintain strict
neutrality"

Amsterdam, Aug. 2l-An antidote to
the opinion of Generals Won Blume and
Won Llcbcrt, who see menace IN a large
American army on the western front,
already has appeared In the Cologne
Icitung To calm the German public
the Tuesday edition of the Zeltung
contained long ticle attempting TO
prove bv statistics that America cannot
possibly send 100000 men TO Europe in
a month The article declares more than
forty troop ships already have been
sunk, Ii continues.
''If the Americans at the front are
fighting we'll that does not need To cause
surprise for 1t is the fine flower OF Amerl-
can manhood which now is ut the front,
namely the old regular army, plus about
10000 of the most sturdy and most adj
venturous elements, which all nations
have, who volunteered at the outbreak
of the war. Then there will he contingents
recruited from the New England States
who are the best educated and kecnest
fighters because their heart Is III the
business.
80 we get an aggregate OF 20O, 900
picked men, but once these are used up
the picture will be altered because they
cannot be replaced >
The Zeitung believes compulsory mill
tary service is widely opposed and Is
being invaded in the United States and 1t
builds hope on the slender basis that
American casualty lists will increase this
alleged repugnance. The article con-
cludes with these arguments:
The Americans are not supermen
militarilv and less so than IN other respects
America may build standard ships but
she cannot turn out standard soldiers.
America has done more than many
expected, even in America, but despite
all surprises American expert opinion
that the full weight of her military power
will not develop before 1919 or even 1920
still holds good"
