WOOD PLEADS FOR
DRILL IN SCHOOLS
Generals Remarks AppIauded
BY Teachers In Madison
Square Garden. ....

NEW YORK, July 7-Gen. Leonard
Wood stood before 5000 teachers in Mad
ison Square Garden last night and asked
them to do their part In making the
nation strong by having reasonable mill
ttary training In the schools. Although
most Of the listeners were women. and
although at their business meeting to-
day they are not likely to pass such a
resolution as General Wood would like.
they applauded him four times in the
course of his short speech and ciapped
for twenty seconds when he stopped.
General Wood began: "..s.
you ought to teach every boy and
girl that he has an obligation to the
state--that II II not the state alone
which has an obligation to him."
There waB applause for that. also for
his insistence that the army and navy
were peace lovers; that the mon who
knew something about II hated war;
that the armed branches OF the Govern
ment never had started conflict with
another people except on orders from
the Government.
war;" he went on. We do not want you
to become involved In II. We want you
to teach the real facts OF history. His
tory Is too specifically taught. We hear
too much in Fourth OF July speeches
about a million men springing to arins
between sunrise and sunset. We've been
sitting around nineteen hours a day for
three weeks and have seen only N, 900
spring. and It's been heavy spring.
too.
That kind OF talk In wickedly dan
gerous. It is comparable to taking the
valves out OF shin and letting the
water In.
I'VE don't want war-God knows that.
We want peace; we want arbitration
extended; but all men who have visions
are willing to sacrifice a great deai. for
them, and when they are unwilling to
meke the sacrifice tho life Of the nation
has been run. Go on working for peace.
hut do not neglect the plain facts Of
the day. Unfortunate as It is. institi,.
By deeds. by force. No wolf ~as ever
frightened by the size o.. flock Of
sheep. Money Is not the sinews Of war.
The sinews are the souls and bodies OF
men when they Bre trained and dis-
ciplined and backed by the spirit Of
sacrifice"

MRS. ROSS RtPRItVFD
BY GOVERNOR ALEXANDER
Sentenced Here for Receiving Stolen
Goods at Albion, She Is Released
After Appeal to Pardon Board.

BOISE.-Mrs. Mamie Ross. who
pleaded guilty to receiving stolen
goods, and who was sentenced to a
term of not les than six months and
not more than five years in the pen
itentiary, left Boise Tuesday evening
with her month-old babe. to return
to her home in Albion. having been
granted a reprieve by the governor
on Monday.
Mrs. Ross. who was sentenced with
her husband, son and step-son. arriv-
ed In Boise Thursday evening and
there being no place for the babe in
the one room allotted to women at
the penitentiary, the infant was plac-
ed In the care. of the children's home
On Saturday Mrs. Ross appeared be-
lore the pardon board and told her
story and on Monday the governor
granted her reprieve. This was not
brought to the warden at the peni-
tentary until noon, however, when
she was at once released and arrange
ments made to send her home on the
first train. The mother called at the
nome for her baby on the way to the
station
Mrs. Ross brother sent word that
he would pay for his sisters ticket
and see that she was met on her ar
rival at Albion, where she will be re-
united with her other small children.
two girls and a boy who are being
kept by relatives
What do you expect to do when
you get back?' Mrs. Ross was asked.
THE first thing l hope to do is to
get my children under my own roof
again. Our things are still in the
house that we rented. What shall
do after that l do not know"
Mrs. Ross told the pardon board
that she did not know that the goods
were stolen but had told the officers
that she had received the goods be-
cause her son and step-son had
brought them. She said her husband
was away when the goods were
brought home, but they both had to
suffer for what the boys did.
Mrs. Ross was sentenced with her
husband and three other members
OF the family a couple of weeks. ago.
The information from Boise does not
state what investigation was made by
the pardon board to verify the story
told them by Mrs. Ross.

GREAT DRIVE
BY GERMANS
Seven Army Corps, 100000 Men,
Attack on Wide Front
GERMANS CLAIMING NUMBER OF
IMPORTANT ADVANCES.
Paris Admits Some Ground Lost and
Describes the Engagement as Pro-
crossing With Increasing Intensity.

Troops belonging to seven German
army corps, under Crown Prince Fred
erick William, are engaged along a 25-
mile front north of Verdun in a des-
perate effort to drive back the French
defending forces, probably with the
capture of the great fortress of Verdun
in view
There had been heavy fighting for
considerable period in this district
of the French war zone, but within the
last few days the attacks of the Ger
mans have taken on added strength.
The battle line has been extended and
now reaches from MalcancOurt, on the
west, to Etain, on the east, with Yer
dun in the center, only a few miles
southwark
The Germans claim to have made i'm
portant advances and to some extent
these are admitted by the French war
office, which describes the battle as
one of increasing intensity.
The German preparations we're ex-
tensive and the bombardmenf of the
French positions with thousands of
shells was interrupted As the French
had foreseen this battle all their avail
able guns were called into action and
responded in kind to the heavy she'll
ing of the Germans.
While at some points the French
were unable to resist the onslaughter
of the attacking forces along much of
the 'front.' according to the Paris com
munication, the attacks we're well sus-
tanned and heavy losses were inflicted
on the Germans.
