TURN TO ALLIES
NeutraIs See Certain Defeat for
Germany.
That Accounts for Spain's Sud-
den Courage.

New York, Aug. 27.-Germany's re-
treat along the west front Is being
accepted by the neutral nations of
Europe. who constitute the only adc-
quate impartial observers left in the
world, as the beginning of the kaiser's
inevitable defeat.
Americas colossal military strength.
which is accommodating overseas. Is
now exerting a profound influence on
all the neutral chanceilories and Is Civ
ing courage to them to defy the inso-
lent outlawry of Berlin. Spain is the
first neutral to show Enthusiastically how
the world outside the conflict regards
the present plight of the German mill
tarists. The demand by the Spanish
government that Germany consent to
the seizure of informed ships to make
good the losses of Spanish vessels sunk
by submarines, is of profound impor-
lance.
Spain Goes With Bandwagon.
Spain has played an opportunist poll
icy turnout the war. The Spanish
MINISTRIES have consistently post
poned any action for four years, that
would antagonize either side in the
war.
Spain has tried to pick the winner
in advance but has hesitated as the
tide of battle has fluctuated. Now,
however, by challenging Germany
piratieal rights at sea, King Alfonso
government theAt 80
Spanish authorities believe the Ger
mans are going to lose the war.
The meek acceptance of spain
ultimatum by the kaiser is in itseh q
confession that Germany committed
the greatest diplomatic mistake in
modern history when she refused to
abide by a like ultimatum from the
United States. 1t is impossible for the
kaiser's cammarilita to offer a salts
factory explanation to the German
people concerning this reversal of at
titude. The malignant influence upoI
German morale. Spain's firm stand
will exert, will be extensive and loss
of confidence in the judgment of thoss
entrusted with Germany's future fate
will certainly become evident
Other neutrals will undoubtedly

| dinavia is to be expected.
The kaiser's doom is sounding round
! the world.

because of wounds. The bayonet
championship for a certain section of
the British army is held by Sergt.
Thomas O'Grady. a Canadian, who en-
listed in Philadelphia early this year.
Almost a month remains for the
mission to induce the Englishmen of
military age remaining in this country
to join the British colors. To accom-
plish this the campaign has taken on
something of the aspect of a whirl-
wind finish. Forceful speakers have
redoubled their efforts to brifg home
the fact that England needs her men
badly; and already this has been pro-
ductive of results. All missions report
a daily increase in the number of ap-
plicants. and there is some prospects
that almost every eligible Britisher in
the country may be inspired or alarm
ed into fighting under the Union Jack.

Outflanked, outfought, outgeneraled
and outnumbered, the Huns are on the
run. When they started, last March,
TO carry the 1918 campaign to a de-
cision they little thought that the de-
cision was coming in the form which
it is now taking. Not only have they
lost the initiative but they are being
pushed back steadily on a constantly
extending battle line In the present
battle in Picardy and Flanders the
Germans are being subjected to furi-
Gus and well directed hammer blows,
shrewdly struck at every weak point
in their line. Marshal Foch's design
appears to be to beat it back without
making dangerous salients for the al
lied armies. In no conflict of the war
has the attack been more persistent
and relentless. Since July Is the al
lies have battered away at the enemy.
allowing him no rest. He has been
steadily forced back by blow after
blow, with concentrated power in ev-
cry case behind it. The aggressive
form displayed by the allies has sur
passed anything seen in the war up
to this time. The German command
ers must be soberly concerned about
the ability of the rank and file to
stand up under the unrelieved strain
The uppermost question in the world
now must be how long can the central
powers endure the pounding to which
