lery of the Allies. The military au.
thorities here have been somewhat
surprised at the deep impression the
artillery has made in Germany. They
were quite delighted with a report by
"a German military expert quoted as
having said:
British infantry never had any
value. The French infantry now is
only a miserable shadow of what il
was two years ago. The French in
fantry nowadays attacks only when
the artillery has done its work so per-
fectly that they have only to occupy
the shattered trenches"
Those officers who believe the war
will 60 on for two years longer say
it has taken two years to put Ger
many really On the defensive and they
anticipate it will take two more years
to make her acknowledge the defeat
which the Allies believe is inevitable.
AS to internal conditions, the army
man takes it into consideration only
as to its effect upon the moral of the
fighting men. It is undeniable that
great sacrifices are being demanded of
the civilian population in Germany
and it is contended no army long re-
mains wholly superior to home in
1uences. ."..
Those who believe in an earlier end
ing of the war base their belief-or
perhaps their hope-uponl the military
assumption that an army cannot offer
the same resistance in third or fourth
line trenches that it did in the first
line. They declare that when the
French and the English were retreat.
ing at the beginning of the war it.
was a retreat Of unpreparedness. The
German retreat, they assert, is a re-
treat Of exhaustion. These, they say.
are the vital physical and moral facts
OF the laws of war. An army driven
from n strong position cannot fall
back mistaken upon another.

SUNDAY LAW
Centerville Ministers Ask Ban on
Sunday Baseball.

Centerville, May 6.-The pastors
of the local churches have taken ac-
ton which 1t is believed will result
in a ban being placed on Sunday
baseball in Centerville during the
present season. The baseball man
agement last year promised not to
play ball in C%enterville any more on
Sunday, and an effort is being made
to have the pledge renewed so it will
cover this season. Those opposed to
Sunday baseball have publicly stated
b a they have consulted the states
attorney in reference to the matter.
and that he stated that the state law
prohibiting Sunday baseball yet was
in effect and that when complaints
are made to him he will take steps
to have the law enforced. In view
of this, it is thought arrangements
can be made whereby no Sunday
games will be played here this sea-
son.

CONCRETE PAVING
MILWAUKEE OFFICIALS VIEW
AND ENDORSE SIOUX
CITY PAVING.

Sioux City, May 6.-Sioux City
concrete paving is extolled and the
Sioux City method Endorsed In a re
port turned in to the Milwaukee city
council by members of a committee
who came to Sioux City last week to
inspect paving conditions. The
members of the committee were from
the Milwaukee Real Estate associa-
ton. Their names are NJ. J. Shen-
ners, Edward Perth and William f..
Hamilton.
The report opens by saying the
committee inspected forty miles OF
concrete paving here and found that
in all cases ii was giving equal serv-
ice to any form of paving in the city
and that 1t was found to be the least
expensive.
I'VE inspected streets that had
been used for heavy traffic, that had
been laid from one to five years.
continues the document, land found
there was scarcely any wear and only
u few cracks in many miles OF con
crete pavement. These were as a
rule due to the streets having been
filled in
Sioux City Is planning upon put
ting In 285,000 square yards of con
crete paving this year. Last year
they put in 1903. 600 square yards OF
concrete in streets and alleys. In
the alleys they have adopted the sys-
tenn of following the lay of the land
as much as possible, thus saving
thousands of dollars for the tax
payers"
The report closes by saying the
concrete paving of Sioux City has not
worn smooth; that asphalt and creo-
sote blocks are dangerous. both for
horses and automobiles; that when
they arrived in Sioux City ii vas
raining, but that il did not make any
different whether the pavement was
wet or dry. Milwaukee was urged
to follow the Sioux City idea.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES MAKE
TRIPS TO COUNTRY-AUTO-
MOBILES ASKED FOR.

Prof. Il. Il. Walser. and his senior
class in agriculture, would be glad
IL some of the owners OF automobiles
In the city would assist in getting
them back to the farm"
Regular trips to the country are
now being made by the junior high
school class, whose farm studies are
confined largely to animal hus-
bandry. Five of the boys in the class
of thirteen have automobiles at their
disposal. in which they take the in
structor and the remainder Of the
class into the country. The senior
class boys are without automobiles.
and must depend largely on persons
outside the school for means of con
veyance to the farms.
Prof. Walser told that Madison
boys take deep interest in farm an
imals. and that If some of the high
school students did not become ex-
perts in the judging of live stock, 1t
will be because they are not permit
ted to make the best of their studies.
Not only do the classes visit stock
farms, but they also get first hand

members of the classes make written
reports of the quality of the animals
they have inspected. Some of the re-
ports are sent to the owners of the
stock. Prof. Walser said there is
some very excellent live stock in
Lake county. and that the standard
here is steadily growing higher.
With regard TO automobiles for
the senior class. Prof. Walser said
that If a dozen men would grant the
use OF an automobile for an hour and
a half or so once a month, the boys
would be enabled to make weekly
trips into the country. He told that
the class would willingly pay for the
gasoline used.

Save THE BIRDS
THIS CAN BE DONE ONLY
THROUGH THE SCHOOLS AND
OTHERWISE.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nonpareil:
of America can be saved is through
education. New ideas and new
ideals must be universally implanted
in the hearts of our people. The old
spirit of lust for killing must give
way TO the newer and better spirit of
love for our feathered friends.
Who among the elders in Iowa
does not now feel his fingers itching
for a grip on a reliable double barrel
whenever a hawk, an owl, a duck,
plover or snipe swoops around with
in easy range? The man who fol
lowed a first class chicken dog owe
the prairies and stubble fields of
Iowa when wild chickens and quail
were numerous acquired a thirst for
killing from which IL is difficult to
escape. His sons have listened to
tales of his exploits in the good old
day" and they, too, thirst to emulate
the prowess OF the elder. The nat
ural instinct of men and boys for
slaughter is not always confined to
game birds. Many a hunter tires
waiting for the game bird which he
seeks and concludes to try himself
and his gun on anything alive which
comes within range of his view
Holes torn through signs erected By
enterprising advertisers along the
highways and byways attest the des-
peration Of hunters out to kill who
have found nothing alive on which to
satisfy their lust.
Some progress has been made in
this work of education among native
Americans. Today the worst enemy
of the birds is the foreigner, who, to
his lust for killing wild birds and
animals. has added the appetite for
flesh. To these people all birds even
down to the sparrow are provender.
1t is no easy task which confronts
those who would preserve the bird
life OF the country, 1t is a grim race
between education in one direction
and possible extinction of many spe-
cies of wild bidrs in another. Graft
flying progress is being made along
some lines. The law f%orbidding the
spring shooting of migratory birds is

and educating the people to exercise
some restraint. We need to promote
this work of education in the public
schools. This we are doing. This
educational work is bearing fruit.
Boys are now turning their atten-
ton to providing houses for the birds
in place of the air and target rifles
which are usually supplemented a
little later with the double barrels,
pumps and automatics. This educa-
tional work should be continued in
one direction while in the other we
supplement it with wise laws and
persistent enforcement. The birds
are voteless and helpless. Their fate
rests solely with people who have
come to take possession of the earth.
They will be our friends and helpers
ii we permit them to share the album
dant life which we ourselves so much
enjoy. If not for the higher and
nobler motive we ought to preserve
the bird life of America for selfish
reasons.
