Spain Reta!iates at Last.

This week, following action taken by a
cabinet meeting, Saturday night, the
government of SPAN took possession of
an interned German merchant steamship.
This action WAS incitcd by the sinking of
another Spanish merchant ship by Ger
man submarine, following so closely upon
SPANS latest protest as to make the
outrage most insolcnt
1t is surprising that the Spanish govern
ment has stood SO long for Germany's in
sultng attitude Spain has not only bcen
neutral since the opening Of the war, but
manifcstly sympathetic towards the Cen
trail Powers. In this manner she was
friendly to them, although maintaining
her status as a neutral country by re-
framing from offering any assistance.
Germany repaid this frlondllness most
perfidiously by sinking Spanish merchant
ships without cause. Spain protested, but
in vain Finally, she vcntured the sug-
gcstion-rot threat-of recompcnsc by
Communicating German merchant vessels
interned in Spanish ports. Germany
protested against such action
and then sank another Spanish ship.

Reported Capture of lens.

According to the war bulletins OF YES

selves with glory. They marched on

with many prisoners and large quantities
Of guns and munitions. And ii Is said
they captured the city Of Lens, although
this report is not vet confirmed.
The taking Of Lens is a matter Of large
Importance Its possession had been Of
enormous value to the Germans from the
time of It's capture, in the early days OF
the war The Germans first exacted 8
large indemnity from its people, and
then began 10 utilize its manufacturing
industries to German war purposes,
especially its generous supplies Of coal,
Lens being the centre OF a large .coel
district.
Now this valuable possession may be
wrested from the hands of the Germans.
To deprive them of the coal supplies they
have heretofore had at command is a
heavy blow. These advantages now pass

EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.

The splendid physical training that
our young manhood is getting as a result
Of military discipline makes many thought
full people wish that to the young woman
hood Of the country, too, there might
come means Of physical development as
efficacious. Without strong women the
race can never attain its physical IDEAL.
The young girls of.the country need regl
lated physical exercise, just as much as
the men do, if they are to match up to the
magnificent warriors who, after the war,
are coming home from overseas, or to the
younger athletes produced by the in
evitable after-war- military drills.
America needs strong womanhood
But great and terrible mistake will be
made if misguided teachers or pupils
suppose that feminine strength can be Sc
cured In the same way CO men arc tough
ened for war. Military drills, particularly
the most exaoting of them, are not for
women. They need forms of exercise
peculiar TO themselves, exercises which
will not aim 10 make them like men, but
TO make them strong as women. Ohio

was believed when the commission was
created that II was to inquire into prac-
tIces alleged to be in restraint Of trade, to

The Philadelphia Orchestra.

For awhile there was fear that the
wide-reaching effects of the Great War
would, among other things, operate to
put out of business the popular Philadel-

many years And this probability was
an occasion of sorrow 10 many of our
people.
But this is not to be. DR.. Leopold

WATCHING THE TIDE.
Rev. ID. III. Kenny.

A lad and lass stood side by side
When the glow Of the sun was gold
They watched the flow of the moving tide,
And the evenings S dark curtains fold
4 shadow gray on the glttcring sand
Was cast while the Mermaids all sat.
In the dim twilight upon the strand,
Ger their tea and gossiping chat
The restless waves lashed the fiintv rocks,
And the shadows danced in their glee:
The gIlls swooped down In crowded fiocks,
And their white wings kissed the blue
sea.
A ship drew out from her moorings fast,
And sailed away on the rough tide;
The evening dew fell over her mast
Like the veil OF a blushing bride.
Upon the lad and the lassie fair
The stars in a radlum OF light,
Like robe enwrapped the happy pair,
In the fields of the falling night
The day was done. and the village clocks
Rang out from the belfrv towers,
But the moaning sea still beat the rocks,
While the echo of gladdcnlng hours
Ne'er ceased through all OF the Joyous
life
OF the lad and lass by the sea.
I'll sun went down on husband and wife,
And the white city bells struck three

THE AUTOMOBILE CONSCIENCE

The first motorless Sunday, besides
the gasoline il saved, was notable for the
light il threw on American character 1t
revealed as by a flash the existence of
something about which many people had
long been scepticaI AN automobile CON
science.
Owners Of motor cars were not ordered
TO give up pleasue-ridlng for the dav;
they were merely asked by the fuel ad-
ministrator to make the sacrifice to aid
the government III conserving fuel for
war uses, and the cheerfulness and prac-
tical unanimity with which the request
was needed is remarkable testimony to
American patriotism. When men gather
in the streets, as happened in some To-
calitles, to shame the few evaders Of what
was after all, only an ethical obligation,
the spirit of American support of the Adj
ministratiOns war policies must be re-
garded as pretty near par.
If moral persuasion can do all this, If it
can make millions of people give up as a
patriotic duty one Of their keenest plea
sures, why can it not be applied to the
correction Of some Of the serious abuses
Of autoinobiling? Perhaps If the Federal
government would only appeal to motor
lists 10 abandon reckless driving and
nocturnal ioy-ridlng, It could end the
speed-law violations and the street
slaughter which local and State lcgis-
iation has been powerless to curb
Why not try persuasion where com
pulsion has wholly faled2 The sudden dis
covery that the automobile conscience is
really an inward monitor Of the good old
Puritan kind may suggest the advantage of
tac,ling the problem along this line and
effecting a conservation of human life for
the period Of the war BY request from

From Eighteen TO Forty-five.

In respect of the operations of the
new Man Power law, under which regis
tration is TO be held on Thursday, Septcm-
Der -, an interesting question has arisen.
II is whether men who have reached the
age OF 45 years but arc under 46 years, are
subject to its provisions. Some news
papers have said the man who has passed
his 45th birthday anniversary is exempt.
Others hold to the contrary.
The law, however, is explicit in respect
ambiguity. 1t provides that persons
shall be subject TO registration as herein
provided who shall have attained their
eighteenth birthday and who shall not
have attained their forty-sixth birthday
on or before the date set for the reg
istration in any such proclamation by
the President or any such other public
notice given by him or by his direction,
and all persons so registered shall be
and remain subject to draft into the
forces hereby authorized unless exempt
cd or excused thercfrom as in this act
provided"
The language OF the law leaves no
doubt. Evidently its trainers forsaw
the controversy that would arise under the
general limit of from Is to As years Of age,
and determined to remove all doubt
They have done so. The man who is
As years of age, but has not reached rs
years, is subject to call.
All such men, therefore, will do well to
attend to the registration on Thursday of
next week. Thereby they will avoid
