WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press.)

Fighting on the western front still
is confined to local actions with the
initiative in the hands of the allies.
AS in the last week, the scenes OF
most activity are the Picardy bat
tlefield and the Lys salient.
South of the Somme. the French
and British maintain their pressure
against the strong point of Roye, but
the fighting is not as general as 1t
was toward the end of last week
when the French moved forward to
within a mile and one quarter OF
Roye. Northwest of Roye, the Brit
ish have made progress between
Chilly and Fransart. while south OF
the town the French have taken 4OO
prisoners in spirited local actions
south of Beuvraignes.
German efforts to hold their line
in the sector between Roye and Las
signy have been challenged by the
French and with success. Since the
general fighting in Picardy died
down the French have been pushing
relentlessly northeastward between
Roye and Lassigny with the evident
purpose of outflanking both posi-
tions. The Germans have been
pressed back in violent combats as a
salient driven in here might easily
prove disastrous for the entire army
defense system on the present line.
From Bailleul, which is on the
northern side of the Lys salient, to
the apex of the salient near VieuX
Berquin the British have been press
ing back the Germans steadily and
now apparently have them off all
the high ground on this sector.
The latest British gain was on a
front of four miles between Bail
leul and Vieux Berquin for a dis
tance of more than half a mile. The
enemy also lost 400 prisoners.
Field Marshal Haig's men re-oc-
cupied Outtersteen, about three
quarters of a mile east of Merris
which probably marks the maximum
progress in this region in the last
week. South of the BailleuX-VieuN
road, the terrain slopes gradually to
the valley of the Lys, on the east
ern bank OF which it rises again. Ap'
r.arently the Germans have beer
pushed across the road. Further
British progress between the Ly'
would endange the German hold or

SPAIN DENIES ITS NEU-
TRALITY THREATENED;
PLACATES GERMANY

San Sebastian, Spain, Aug. 49,
Foreign Minister Dato today issued
a deniad to recent press reports thai
the neutrality of Spain was threat
ened. He said the cabinet would
suffer nothing to turn it aside from
policy of neutrality.
He denied that Spain had sent a
note to Germany concerning the al.
legged torpedoing of the steamer Sc
rantes. He said the sinking was
due to fire in the cargo OF petro-
leum.
There have been persistent and
apparently wellinformed reports
during the last week that Spain had
sent another note to Germany con-
corning the torpedoing of Spanish
ships. Reports from Madrid were
that a note had been dispatched tc
Berlin and that as soon as it wa:
received there, it would be made
public by Foreign Minister Dato.
1t had been reported that the
note included notice to German,
that Spain would compensate her
self for future losses from selfin
termed German vessels in Spanisl
harbors.
The Spanish steamer Scrantes
loaded with ten thousand barrels o
oil, was set on fire by two explos
ions while anchored off Brooklyi
on July IS. There have been no pre-
vious reports that the Serantes /
said to have been torpedoed.
