AIRCRAFT fight
EACH OTHER
IN CLOUDS
Continued from Page One,

the weather was so fine that many
flights were made by the aviators,
French, British and German. These
produced a corresponding activity
among the anti-aircraft guns. So still
and clear was the air towards evening
on Wednesday and during the whole
of Thursday that to those not espe-
cially on the lookout the presence OF
aeroplanes high up above them was
first made known by the bursting of
the projectiles aimed at them. The
puffs of smoke from the detonation
shells hungs in the air for minutes, like
balls of fleecy cotton wool, before
tho places mentioned as being the
chief targets for the enemy's heavy
howitezrs. 1t will be seen that the Ger
mans are not inclined to concentrate
their fire Systematically in definite
areas in which the aviators think they
have located our guns, or on villages
where it is imagined our troops may
be located The result will be to give
work to local builders.
Like Great siege
"The growing resemblance Of this
battle to siege warfare already has
been pointed out The fact that the
latter actions of the Russo-Japanese
war assumed a similar character,
which was thought by many to have
exceptional causes, such as the mar
rowness of the theater of operations
between the Chinese frontier on the
west and the mountainous country of
northern Korea on the east side; the
lack of roads, which limited the ex-
tent of ground over which it was pos
sible for the rival armies to maneu-
yer, and the fact that both forces were
tied to one line of railroad.
Such factors are not exerting any
| Influence on the present battle. New
ertheless a similar situation has been
reproduced
The Germans are prepared for a
long siege, owing to the powers of re-
sistance possessed by an army which
is amply equipped with heavy artillery
and has had sufficient time to fortify
Itself. The vast size of the forces en-
gagged may be realized when it is stat
ed that the battle line at the present
time stretches more than half way
across France. The extent of the
country covered is so great as to rem
der slow any efforts to maneuver and
march around to a flank in order to
escape the costly expedition of from
tai attack against heavily fortified DO
sitions.
ITO state that the methods of at
tack must approximate more closely
to those of size warfare the greater
the resemblance of the defenses to
those of fortress, is platitude, but
it is one which will bear repetition
If it in any way assists to make the
present situation clear There is no
doubt that the position on the Aisne
was not hastily selected by the Ger
man staff after the retreat had begun.
From the choice of Germans and the
care with which the field fire had
been arranged to have all positions
said of approach and from the amount
of work already carried out, it is clear
that the contingency of having to act
on the defensive was not overlooked
when the details of the strategically
offensive campaign were arranged"

Cable messages from Japan toll us that there Is a growing spirit of so. cialisin in that country which has been imported by the Japanese students who have been sent abroad to learn all things from all nations.
 It seems rather remarkable that th, Japanese people with their centuries ot Diamio and monarchial rule should imbibc along with the other ideas and arts and crafts that they have been appropriating the theories of socia iism II Is not d strange thing that social. ism. the real socialism. the higher so- ciallsm should appeal to any people for it has much of good tn theory and much of good that could he practiced hut it somehow seems a little In ad- vance of the Japanese.
 Dut they are quick to learn. these yellow imitators. and if they have icked from socialism tho good and left the bad 1t may not in the end be anything but another step in advance for the Japanese nation to adopt the ancient teaching.
 Ex-Presidcnt Taft is quoted as say Ing in a recent speech that socialism ia the central political issue to which the country is coming. He believes that socialism will become of so great importance as a political issue that the present party lines will be entirely obliterated and that a growing party O: socialists will begin to make itself felt as a political power.
 There is a great deal of talk about socialism in ono way or another Most ly by people who know nothing what ever of the theory on which the so- cialist creed Is based and believe that every deed In the calendar of crime is properly charged to tho followers of socialism.
 That there are radical socialists who hy their actions bring the name intf ,lisrcpute cannot be denied. That pe"- tlc who are enrolled under the socialist banner do frequently become breakers of the law is an undeniabl' truth. That crimes of the basest sor arc committed in the namc of socini' ism is fact. And vet this does nj" prove that basically the sociaiistic id"' is wrong.
 More crimes and blackcr crimes hav' been committed in the namc of every religion that we know anything nb"m than were ever committed in thu nnm' of socialism and vet for that reason nll religion Is not condemned.

 It is . higher and nobler socialism that MT. Taft means. It is . mora w-abiding socialism that will come to Japan. It is not the socialism of the Ignorant street asitator or the failure.

rhe idea or the knowledge that there is coal in Alaska Is not new. The fact has been known to the govern m&nt for years. But 1t was the policy ,. certain corporations which were big II, ugh and powerful enough to own government officials to keep the fact tt.it there was enough coal in our own land and within easy reach of our own q, aling stations from becoming gener- ally known and to prevent the develop r,cnt of those coal fields by the few people who did know about. them.
 It is hardly necessary to ask why ,hc corporations did not want the coal fields of Alaska developed. Of course it was for their own private interests and their own future profits.
 Corporations are sometimes very good things. Tn the past. before tho people of the country awakened to the fact that it was better for them to do Il cir own developing and before the country was perhaps in II position to hriid it's owh railroads. the transporta- tin corporations did great deal in the way of advancing the development of the country. in making 1t possible fo, men to find new homes and new activities. The corporations certainly facilitated the work of development. when and where they wanted to. and just as surely they collected tenfold from the people of tho country for what they did.
 It was the policy of opening up sec items as they chose to open them up. The policy of getting in in advance and gaining control of the most valua- ble lands. of the water power and of thc rights of way. that added 90 much [. the profits of the corporations.
 They retarded the development until they were all set and ready to cx" ploit the land. Then they advertised the wonderful new places of the coun- try and took the stranger in. literally a:. we'll as hgurativcfy.
