AR MORED MEN
FOR BRITISH
PRESENT SLAUGHTER OF MEN ON
THE FRONT SETS WAR HEADS
TO THINKING
Steps Being Taken to Provide Better
Safety For Soldiers Ancient
ArmOr May be Used
BY WILBUR S. FORREST

tUnlte0 Press Stan Correspondent.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-(By mail) -
The 1916 British army may be an
armored army.
The great casualty list that filters
through the war office every day
from the front; the convalescent
wounded and battered soldiers that
are always on the streets and the
overfowing hospitals are beginning to
have their effect.
Many ask: Isn't there a way to
minimize this appalling situation?'
Somebody has answered: 'Armor .
And it's beginning to look like
armor for the British soldiers of 1916.
While the British war office is con
sidering whether it shall slip back to
medieval methods of war SO far as
the protection of the soldier is con
cerned, well-known Britishers are
telling the war office through the
press that armor is a natural neces-
sity in these days of machine guns
and high-powered rifles.
Scores of suggestions for modern
1916 armor emanating from scientists
have narrowed down to the practica
bility of a three-piece suit of temper
ed steel that would protect the fore
head, breast and abdomen-the three
vital spots of the body. The favored
headpiece, will, if authorized by the
war office, take the form of the
highly tempered steel skull cap-like
protector now worn by the French to
minimize the danger Of shrapnel. The
breaStplate would be a thin leather
covered hardened plate of steel curry
ed to fit over the chest and held by
straps that go over the shoulders and
around the waist. The abdominal pro
other curved sheet of steel fitting
over the lower ribs and extending
down to the bones of the hips.
Bullet Proof Breast Plate
The British war office four years
ago experimental with bullet
proof breast-plate at Aldershot where
the device shed all the rife and ma
chine gun bullets that were fired
against it at ranges of one foot to 500
yards. The breastplate was rejected
IN the ground that it added too much
weight to the equipment of the sol
lier and reduced his marching effic-
ency.
With a war of great proportions
hat will probably last many more
months or perhaps years and with
he thousands of dead and the tens of
of wounded, the war office
S believed to be reconsidering it's
objection to armor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-"We are

bic case today. The administration is
waiting on Germany Germany is
waiting on the submarine commander
who is supposed to have torpodoed
the Arabic and likely the situation
will continue thus for week as the
result of Germany's request that no
action be taken by the United States
until official reports have been re-
ceived from Germany.
Secretary Lansing today said he
couldn't say whether the request
made by Ambassador Won Bernstorff
would be answered. Others said that
no answer was needed. With the dis
position of Germany to explain the
sinking of the Arabic, the situation
is viewed with the greatest optimism

probably will be thus equipped, ac-

One of Britain's leading advocates
of armor is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
the noted author of Sherlock
Holiness"
In a lengthy message from his
home at Windlesham, Crowborough,-
Sussex, to a London daily, Sir Arthur
cited an action of the British in Nor
thern France on May 8, when several
brigades were decimated in an ef
fort to rush across 300 yards inter-
vening between the British and Ger
man trenches. He warned:
you must either abandon such at
tacks or you must find artificial pro-
lection for the men,"
Sir Arthur suggests three-piece
suits of steel plates for the soldiers,
but goes further in advocating a mod
ern 'testudo'-a. cover used by the
Roman soldiers in attacking a wall,
formed by overlapping their oblong
shields above their heads. Sir
Arthur's modern testudo, he would
put on wheels to cover the men as
they charge the German trenches. He
says:
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-08-25
Could Make Great Rush

"These numerous armor plated
bodies could rush with small loss over
a space which had already been clear
ed as far as possible of obstacles, and
so have some chance of reaching the
enemy's line, not as an exhausted
fragment but as a vigorous storming
party with numbers intact. Such ap-
paratus would not necessitate a great
addition to the impedimenta of an
army. 1t would be a separate item,
like the pontoons or the siege train,
only to be brought up on special oc-
casions to the point where it is need
ed for the assault. The vital body
plates, however, should be used in the
every day equipment of fighting SOL
der"
Armored shields on wheels such as
Conan Doyle suggests were used by
the United States infantry during the
last days of the Spanish American
war in Cuba, according to an English
authority on armor. They were in
vented by General Roy Stone, of the
British army. Each shield lay hor-
izontally and carried the impedimenta
of marching soldiers when not plac-
ed vertically for sterner use.
Due to the rough character of the
ground and the predominance of
mounted forces in the Cuban cam
paign, the American experiment, was
a failure, it is stated.
Whether the government will ac-
cept the "testudo" is uncertain, but
it is strongly whispered that armor
will have to do with British armies
of the coming year.

Next year the county will have un-

will the yearly and term examinations
be uniform, but also the monthly tests
will be the same throughout the coun-
ty. During the summer months a
careful course will be worked out by
the county and district superinten-

the year so that a teacher may know
just what to expect from the begin
ming. Each month outlines, giving in
detail the work to be accomplished,

SCHOOL NEWS

At a meeting Of the district super
intendents held at Medina, Thursday,
March rs, several important matters
were decided. Owing to the fact
that the North Eastern Ohio Teachers
association has decided to hold its
meeting on April 9 and 10, at Youngs-
town, it was thought best not to hold
the Medina County Teachers meet
ing on that day and as there are inn
portant meeting. on the 17th already
scheduled, it was decided to postpone
the county meeting until next fall, as
the eight-month schools will close on
April 23, in many instances. The
superintendents regretted very much
to do this, but under the circumstances
it seemed the only course to pursue.
The plans for the spring meeting will
be carried out next fall at the first
meeting Of the county association.

The district superintendents unan-
imously decided to take part in the
state spelling contest and appointed
Friday, April 16, as the day for the
county match. From all townships
maintaining a high school two contes-
tants will be chosen, one from the
grades and one from high school. The
candidates for county honors will meet
at Medina at 2:SO p. M, April 16.
A list of 100 words will be furnished
by the county superintendent for each
group and the pupils making the high
est percentage will be declared coun-
ty champions. The winners in the
county will be sent later to Columbus
to take part in the state contest. Sew
eral districts have already had spell
ing contests which have aroused much
enthusiasm among pupils and parents.
A trip to Columbus and chance to
become state champion speller is al
prize worth striving for. All teachers
are urged to prepare their pupils for
the township contests, which will be
conducted by the district superinten-
dents. It was decided in case of dis
agreement as to the proper spelling
