Spain in No Danger,
Says War Minister

MADRID, Aug. 2O.-Gcneral Jose
Marina, Minister of War, to-day de-
clared that the international situation
gave no occasion for alarm on the part
Of Spaniards. The note recently sent
by the Spanish government to Berlin
regarding the sinking of Spanish ships
by German submarines, he said, was
written in frmer tone than were
previous notes, but it could not bring
change in Spain's attitude of neu-
trallty, much less rupture of diplo-
matic relations with Germany.
Some mystery evidently attaches to
the diplomatic note reported to have
been sem by Spain to Germany Re.
cent advces from Madrid were that q
note had been dispatched to Berlin re-
garding the torpedoing of Spanish
ships by German U-boats, and that as
soon as the document had been received
at the German capital it would be made
public by Eduardo Dato, the Spanish
Foreign Minister 1t was reported that
he note included a notice to Germany
hat Spa would compensate herself

Few Open Refusals
In case of strikes, Mr.. Morrison said,
very few cases would occur where the
men would refuse to work pending ad-
Justment by the War Labor Board. If
the men should refuse to work, he said
the existing draft regulations could be
invoked and that further legislation is
unnecessary.
Representative Harrison, Of Virginia
called attention to Secretary Bakers
statement denying that the Senate
amendment is a labor conscription plan,
but Mr.. Morrison insisted that it would
be conscription and would be used as
such by unfair EMPLOYERS.
After the hearings committeeman
predicted that the bill would be re-
ported shortly, substantially as sub
mitted by the War Department. and

THINK
MOTHER SHIP FOR
SUBS is SIGHTED

Boston, July 25.-The unidentified
armed ship sighted off Nantucket
Sunday morning by Captain William
Price of the Schooner Elizabeth King
of Gloucester, was looked upon with
suspicion today by naval officials,
some Of whom believed it might be
a mother ship for German subma-
rines operating off the New England
coast. The mysterious ship was seen
but two hours before a U-boat at
tackled the tug Perth Amboy and her
tow. off Orleans.
The strange vessel, with guns fore
and aft, was reported to be in the
line of transatlantic travel about 20
miles south-southeast Of Nantucket
lightship. The boat displayed neither
flag nor name, and carried heavy
wireless equipment. Officers of the
first naval district today took steps
to intercept the craft and determine
her status.
Captain Price. upon reaching
Gloucester, reported that the ship
came within 100 feet Of the Elizabeth
King and trained its guns on the
schooner but did not hail her. When
Captain price spoke to the steamer.

A FOR AUTO
ACE
Auto Polo This Evening
Promises to be Most Thrill
ing Seen This Week.

For the first time in several years,
weather conditions have interfered
with the Grand Forks Fair, and, at
noon, it was necessary to call off the
race program scheduled for this aft
ernoon. After a long, steady rain
during the early morning, the race
track was too heavy to permit OF n
contests this afternoon. The vaude-
Vile program will be given as usual,
however, unless rain should interfere
again.
Despite the unpleasant weather con-
ditions, there was a good sized crowd
on the grounds. at noon. Ihere were
a number Of out-of-toWn people IN
the city this morning and practically
all OF them visited the fair grounds
during the day. Conc%essionaires who
dealt in hot comestibles did a thriving
business during the morning. M
none questioned the quality of fair
coffee, unless, p~erchance, it was cold.
For those on the grounds, the Liberal
Arts building was a popular place,
and the many booths therein received
closer scrutiny than at any other time
during the week. The Red Cross
hospital tent was more popular, how
ever, for DIR. Williamson equipped 1T
with a kerosene heater. When this
became known, there were many
cases of sudden illness. The cases
/. CAME so frequently that q number OF
men volunteered for stretcher-bear-
ing service, but no stretchers could be
found-except those who stretched
the truth.
with the exception of making the
awards in the Red Cross entries, all
Of the judging was completed when
the fair opened this morning. Inc
work Of listing the awards will be
completed today so that they all can
be announced tomorrow.
No Change For Tonight.
Tonight's program will be given in
full. The track will be in fine con-
dition for Auto Polo. sand Ralph
Hankinson has promised that it will
be one of the most thrilling games
ever seen here. At the request of the
Fair Association. Ray Lampkin, star
auto racer, will drive one of the polo
cars. Two and three years ago, when
Hankinson's players competed here,
Lampkin was the star driver, and
many expressed q wish to see him
perform again this year. He is
entered in Saturdays auto races.

Now the front has been widened by
