FRANCE WEARYING
OF LONG STRUGGLE
QUESTIONS ENGLAND'S ACTIVIT-
les IN THE WAR AND SUGGESTS
A HURRY UP
Asserted British Have Not Done Full
Share in Checking the Germans
in France
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

PARIS, Aug. 6.-(By mail. EVERY
body in France knows it, so why try
to keep it secret. France is not at
all satisfied with what England has
done and is doing in this war and
Englishmen in France, soldiers as
well as sojourners, admit France is
right.
And now come stories by private
conveyance from Great Britain that
London is being fortified with a cou-
pie of rows of defenses running en-
tirely around the city; that the Eng
lish are saying, "one never can tell
what will happen" that they admit
they lack ammunition and will con-
tinue to lack it even under best pos
sible conditions for some months to
come; that if the Germans make a
dash for Calais and the other Channel
ports with forces such as she is using
around Warsaw, there will be no stol'-
ping them at present.
What do all these stories mean? the
French are asking. What is the mat
ter with England after more than a
year of war? Why can't she, with all
her steel mills and kindred works,
turn out more than sufficient ammuni-
ton, enough, in fact, to supply her al

Stepdaughter at Spokane Finds Rel

Crime in Newspaper

Doc" Cain, the night watchman for
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine at

tempting to detain. an escaping bandit
after the latter had robbed a Kellogg
saloon. resided in Moscow 20 years
ago, according to press reports. Miss
Georgia Richardson of Spokane, who
had not seen or heard of Cain since
childhood, noticed the similarity OF
the name with that of her stepfather
whom she had not seen for 20 years.
The Wallace Press-Times says:
"A picture of Doc Cain, the Bunker
Hill watchman who was murdered
Wednesday night following the SEN
sational hold up of the Depot saloon
in kellogg, taken 20 years ago, mas
been received in Wallace from Miss
Georgia Richardson of 1913 Grand

murdered man was her step father

FOLLOWING the newspaper reports
of the crime and ascertaining that the
initials of the deceased were Identical
with those of her step father sne
mailed the photograph, the only me-

friends in Wallace for identification.
Miss Richardson states that Mr.
Cain was married to her mother some
20 years ago in Moscow where ne en-

FLAMES SPREADING ON MOSCOW
MOUNTAINS IN THE VICINITY
OF MUDGETT'S SAWMILL
Fire Spread Over Big Area Since Yes
terday-Fears Expressed That 1t
Might Get in Grain Fields

A fierce forest fire is burning in the
Moscow mountains about five miles
northeast of Viola and according to
very meagre reports has been raging
since yesterday, though it is thought
that the fire started a week ago and
gradually spread until it stretched
over considerable ground. Harry
Palmer, residing near Viola visited the
scene of the fire this morning and to
the Star Mirror this afternoon over
the telephone stated that he believed
the fire was burning on what is
known as the university section in the
gulch heading towards Mudgett's
mill.
Yesterday morning the fire was OBJ
served burning on the north side OF
the mountain apparently on the top,
and last night the flames could be
seen shooting high in the air. This
morning the fire had spread and was
working its way down the mountain
side and according to Mr.. Palmer was
burning on logged-off land. He saw
few people about and was Of the
opinion that nothing was being done
to check the flames. He stated that
there was danger of the fire spread
ing to grain fields south of the noun
tin and several telephone calls have
been received by the authorities this
afternoon expressing this fear
The Potlatch Timber Protective
association was notified this morning
of the fire and it was stated that men
would be sent to look it over.

GRAIN STUBBLE
BURNED TODAY
Fire Swept Grain Field Of Frank
Clark Near Clinton Grange To-day
and Destroyed Grain in the Sack

More than so men this morning bat
tied with a fierce stubble fire
which swept over fifty acres
of ground before it was placed under
control. The fire was discovered on
the Frank Clark place near Clinton
grange. The grain had been threshed
on part of the field and the sacks had
been piled ready for hauling. The
fire swept over the ground with rapid
ity, and while the damage was con-
fined to stubble, some of the sacked
grain piles were scorched, the sacks
burning off and leaving the grain in
were saved after much hard work.

Of individual liberty and of the free
labor that supports life and the I'M
censored thought that quickens it.
Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi-
pies. But just because we demand I'M
molested development and the undis-
turbed government of our own lives
upon our own principles of right and
liberty, We resent, from whatever
quarter 1t may come, the aggression we
ourselves will not practice We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines of national development.
We do more than that. We demand it
also for Others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it wher-
ever there is a people that tries to walk
in these difficult paths of independence
and right. From the first we have
made common cause with all partisans
of liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed it as important that our neigh
bors should be free from all outside
domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside as a whole
for the uses of independent nations and
political freemen W.
Out of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as
means of asserting the rights of peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely jealous of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as of aggression from without. We
will not maintain standing army ex-
cept for uses which are as necessary
in times of peace as in times of war.

There are other great matters which
Will be thrust upon our attention
whether we will or not. There is, for
example, a very pressing question of
trade and shipping involved in this
great problem Of national adequacy.
1t is necessary for many weighty rea-
sons Of national efficiency and devel-

fleet we once used to make us rich,

driven out of existence by ineXcusable

SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Increase Standing Regular Force--Four
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.

But war has never been mere mat
ter of men and guns. 1t is a thing
OF disciplined might. If our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon a
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting is done, and what
TO do when the summons comes to
render themselves Immediately avail
able and Immediately effective. And
the government must be their servant
in this matter, must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
! themselves and of it. The military
arm of their government, which they
VIII not allow to direct them, they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and net
their own independence merely, but
the rights also of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
In the world. and particularly in this
hemisphere, for which they are quail
fled by principle and by chastened am.
bition to play.
1t is with these ideals in mind that
the plans of the department of war for
more adequate national defense were
conceived which will be laid before
you. and which urge you to sanction
and put into effect as soon as they can
be properly scrutinized and discussed.

steps, and they seem to me for the
present sufficient
