Spain is the first neutral to show unmistakably how the world outside the conflict regards the present plight of German militarists. Spain Is Urgent The demand by the Spanish gov ernment that Germany consent to the seizure of interned German ships to make good the losses of Spanish vessela sunk by U-boats is of pro found importance. Spain has, played an opportunist policy thruout the war. The Span ish =ninistry has consistently post poned any action for four years that ‘would antagonize either side. Spain has tried to pick the winner in advance, but has hesitated as the tide of battle fluctuated. Now, how ever, by challenging Germany's pi- ratical rights at sea, King Alfonso's government demonstrates that the| Spanish authorities believe the Ger- mans are going to lose the war Meek Acceptance The meek aceptance of Spain's ul timatum by the kaiser is in itself a confession that Germany committed the greatest diplomatic mistake in modern history when she refused to abide by a like ultimatun from the United States. ry jou will find it , profitable to read The Star want ads every day. : Good buys in homes and autos are featured to- day. /CALL BOYS 0 OF 18 LAST BY L. C. MARTIN (United Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—By 8 vote of 73 to 0, the senate today adopted an amendment to the proposed work or fight clause in the man-power bill which is de- signed to obviate the tying up of war industries thru stril The amendment ¢ffered by Sena” tor Cummins provided that the work or fight proviso shall not apply in the case of strikers who at once sub mit their grievance to the war labor board, agree to abide by its decision, and, pending that decision, immediat ly return to work. Cummins’ amendment proved a happy compromise between those fa voring a drastic antietrike amend. ment and those who felt that labor must be protected in legitimate ef forts to improve conditions, It was at once accepted by Senator Thomas, author of the work or fight clause, |and the senate speedily proceeded to give its approval. The battle over the “work or fig amendment to the man-power pea was virtually settled today, when the senate. by a vote of 40 to 29, refused to strike from the bill the whole work or fight clause. This was the first teat of sentiment on the “work or fight” principle it self, altho the vote on the Cummins amendment to the “work or fight” clause showed that the senate did not wish to take away from labor en tirely its rights to fight for better conditions The motion to strike the work or fight clause from the bill was made by Senator McKellar, of Tennessee. | Hold Younger Men j Boys of 18 and 19 will not be sent to the firing line until an emergency arises in which they are needed Sen. ator Overman, discussing the amend ment to defer calling 18 and 1%year old boys, declared Secretary Baker had authorized him to make this statement.
