WILL CONTINUE NEUTRALITY
 SAYS SPAIN
Will Use German Vessels Now in Spanish Ports in
 Place of Tonnage Sunk.
STATEMENT SAYS
 MANY SAILORS KILLED
Says Spain Has Sacrificed Many Rights When Possi-
 ble to Uphold Dignity.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Spain has informed Germany that because of the serious tnroads that submarine sinkings have made into Spanish shipping Spain hereafter will use German vessels now in Spanish ports in place of tonnage sunk. This announcement Is made in an official statement issued after a meeting of the Spanish cabinet in San Sebastian.
 The Spanish government declares 1t will continue to maintain strict neu- trality. The statement says 20 per cent. of the Spanish merchant marine has been sunk and more than 100 Spanish sailors have been killed.
 The cabinet statement says:
 "In the course of the recent meet ings held in Madrid the government considered the international situation. As a consequence of the submarine campaign more than 20 per cent. of our merchant marine has been surN, 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
 
 without the slightest pretext, serious difficulties resulting to navigation.
 "The government has believed it is unable, without failing in it's essential obligations and without setting aside neutrality, to defer the adoption of measures necessary to guarantee Spanish maritime traffic and to pro- tect Spanish crews and passengers "Consequently the government has decided to address the imperial gov ernment and declare that owing 10 reduction of tonnage to it's extreme limit it will be obliged in case of new sinkings to substitute therefor Ger man vessels interned in Spanish ports This measure does not imply the con- hscation of the ships under definite title. It would be only a temporary solution until the establishment of peace when Spanish claims also will | be liquidated.
 "Our ambassador in Berlin has re- ceived instructions to bring this de- cision to the notice of the German government. The Spanish govern ment does not doubt that the Ger man government will appreciate the circumstances determining this reso- lution 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 conveniences when il has been possible without affecting the dignity of Spain and her national life.
 'sThe decision of the government tc assure for itself sufficient tonnage which is indispensable to its existence does not affect it's firm resolve tc maintain strict neutrality"

 A similar rising but on a smaller scale took place in Petrograd. It was put down after the revolters had been bombarded by machine gun fire and armOred cars.
 On July all the delegates of the Social Revolutionists of the left to the congress were arrested and the town and government of Vologda were de- clared in a state of siege because of the anti-Soviet uprising in Jaroslav.
 Railroad and telegraph communica- tions between Moscow and the north were interrupted.
 The outstanding feature of the All Russian Soviet congress was the de- nunciation by War Minister Trotzky of the Allies in landing on the Murman coast and in helping the Czecho-Slo- walks. He threatened merciless meas ures of defense and on July 1S M. Tchitcherin in note to the British representatives in Moscow made a sinister reference to 'the results which may arise from the excitement caused among the masses of the Rus sian population by the unprovoked British attack on Murman."
 On the same day, Il former officers who had served under Gen. Alexieff, were summarily shot in Moscow as counter revolutionaries. On July IS French and British military officers were prohibited from moving from one town to another and a strict ed.

TWO U-BOATS
 SUNK, NAVY
 IS CONVINCED
Steamer Rammed One Near Winter Quarter
 Shoals.

| Washington, Aug. 21.---Two of the three German submarines operating on this side of the Atlantic have been put out of commissio1 if a report to the Navy Department yesterday is fully verified.
 Most of the navy officials believe that one of the destroyers attacked successfully submarine off the Vir- gin1a coast about 10 days ago. Yes- terday came the report from very re- liable sources that three days ago an American steamer rammed a subma- rine off the same coast and that the enemy has probably been sunk. The official report to the Navy Depart menN says:
 The Navy Department is informed that the captain of an American steamer reports that his vessel irammed a submarine about 9:90 p. m., Aug. IT, near Winter Quarter shoal off the Virginia coast. The captain stated that the submarine was struck on her port bow, bringing her along side. The crew of the submarine hailed his ship, saying they were friends. The voice, he said, had a strong German accent. Replying that they were no friends of his, the cap tain says he left on his course. The steamer is nsr in port with badly damaged bow and a quantity of wa ter in her hold. The captain thinks he sank the submarine"
 As to another of the German sub marines which have been cutting ca bles and preying on shipping along the Atlantic, authorities here believe the story told by the captain of the British tanker who reported having destroyed the U-boat off Nantucket is true,

Drive Made Without Preparation By the
 Artillery Succeeds
(Continued from Page One)

British Headquarters in France, Aug. 21.-(By The Associated Press) Field Marshal Haig this morning launched an offensive on a front of about 10000 yards. The high con- tour between Adinfer and Moyenville was the northern zone of attack and Puissieux au Mont the southern land mark. The enemy here lately has been withdrawing in order to order to increase the depth of his defenses.
 With the British Army in France, Aug. 21-By the Associated Press)- In the first hour of the offensive be- gun this morning by Field Marshal Hatg, the British troops captured the towns of Ablainezevelle, Beaucourt and Moyenville.
 The British attacked on a front of 10 miles between Arras and Albert. The attacks extended from the Ancre river to Beaucourt to just north of Moyenville.
 Some German field guns and 200 prisoners had been taken in the drive at an early hour.
 All the German outposts and posi- tions along the important Draneutre ridge, between Noudekot and the To- GUS hospice, have been attacked by the British. The result so far is not known. This front is in the Lys sa- lient
 Courcelles and Achiet le Petit also were captured.
 Although prisoners said the Ger mans had been expecting the attack for a. week, it was a tactical surprise. Tanks and infantry advanced through the heaviest fire at dawn. 1 After a brief "crash" bombardment the British troops were upon the ene- my almost before he knew 1t.
 British forces have captured Cour- | celles and Achiet le Petit and have reached Moyenville and Beaumont sur Ancre in their drive which began this morning north of the Ancre river, ac- cording to advices from the front.
 An attack on a wide front north of the Ancre river was launched by the British this morning, says the official statement from Field Marshal Haig today.
 Satisfactory progress is made, the statement adds.
 | On Tuesday afternoon the British threw back strong German attacks against the new British positions south and north of the Scarpe, i The British attack this morning was between Moyenville and Beaucourt str Ancre, a distance of about eight and half miles. It is reported that the British have advanced two or three miles along this front.
 The attack of the British this morn ing was made without artillery prep aratton. It was completely success <! ful. The attack was made by the British Third army under Gen. Byng. l After capturing Achiet le Petit the British troops advanced another mile and a half to the east and reached Achiet le Grand.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-21

While the width of the attacking front is not clearly defined, a wide front" probably would include a line from the Ancre to the Scarpe, about 15 miles.
 In making an attack here it would appear that Marshal Foch is striving to break the old German line in the Arras area. Any considerable for ward movement here would menace the German positions north and south for many miles. StrategicaTy a blow would seem to be a companion one to the French offensive south of the Disc and strong attempt to force the Germans to retire all along the line.
