GERMANS SPEEDUP
NAWAT|ON FIELD
Work Hard to Gain Superior
ity in This Arm of the
Service.
BY PAUL AYRES ROCKWELL.
Especial Correspondence of The Even
ing Star and Chicago Daily Neus.)

PARIS. France. August 10.-The allied
offensive in the Somme established
clearly the overwhelming superiority of
the French aviation corps, according to
LIE Temps. Not one German aeroplane
was permitted to cross the French lines,
and the Teuton observation balloons
were shot down as rapidly as they ap-
peared among the clouds.
Since the Somme battle Germany has
made a great effort to change condi-
tionS, and has completely reorganlZed
its aviation service. The units of the
German aerial army are now divided as
follows:
l. Army escadrilles (Armeehieger Alb
teilung). Placed directly under the
command of the head of the army avia-
tion, these escadrilleS are charged with
distant expeditions back of the enemy :

ments, night flying, and the photo

PROTEST AGAINST MILITARISM
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Symposium of Anti-Preparedness
Propaganda Based on The False As

published by request)


All say they want peace, but all
have not the same idea of attaining
peace. Their ideas vary as the
shades from lightest day to darkest
night. Regardless of ones opinion
history offers a valuable lesson, by
which we may gain knowledge for the
direction of our affairs in securing
peace.
Prior to the present war the Eur
opean countries were preparing, they
thought for peace by cultivating the
military spirit and drilling their
young men in the use of arms.
In the face of their present plight
as an object lesson showing the fool
ishness of their peace theory, it seems
strange that many of our people are
accepting their idea and pleading with
the United States to adopt the same
peace" program. A program which
is largely responsible for the deluge
of blood in Europe.

of schools, and c. H. bowman, prin-

influence toward the adoption of mil
itary training for the junior and SEN
Tor classes in the high school of Twin
Falls Believing that such training
opposes the growth and development
of the highest ideals of life-the spirit
of brotherhood, of international COM
ity, of service, of lOve-ideals to
which the world aspiresl we, the
members of the Twin Falls Socialist
Local, protest against the adoption of
militarism in our public schools. To
strengthen our protest we quote the
following from some of our recog-
nized leaders in education, Child
Study and Welface, and Moral and
Religious Training:
There is moral damage in the as
ISOLATION of killing or preparation for
killing with patriotism. No word
has been more cheaply degraded in
these times than the word patriotism.
Love of country which is genuine
brings harm to no one.

courage inflated and pernicious no
tons of national superiority, false
conceptions of patriotism, and a dis

The last few days on the intense
battle line through northern France
have been marked by the greatest re-
cession of the teuton front yet re-
corded. For forty-five miles along the
British part of the line, and for thir-
ty-seven miles in front of the French,
the Germans have given up a war
devastated zone ten to twelve miles in
width This does not spell defeat AS
the new position Will be found fully
prepared for resistance; but it does
mean that the former German front,
with its wonderful defenses, had been
literally battered to pieces and ren-
dered vulnerable, and that what hap
pened there may be expected again so
soon as the investing works and
forces are fully prepared.
