Scientific Barbarism

Let us keep clearly in mind III the
weeks and months hereafter when Ger
man cries for peace are heard What the
German actions have been rs contrasted
with the German professions. They cry
ont for humanity who murder children
and dishonor women. They cry out Tor
civilization who destroy everything that
signifies civilization. They weep for the
sufferlngs OF mankind who do the things
that are now spread forth upon the map
OF Northern France.
Tie German spirit is the spirit OF scien-
tiic barbarism. Its coIquests have beer
over an unscientific civilization. Its ulti-
mate col quest will be supreme unless
mankind recognizes the quality and the
character and the peril and deals once
and for all with the spirit.
Whst the Germans are doing in North
ern France is clear. Why they are doing
it should be equally clear. They are seek
ing i'm SO far as it is possible to destroy
France, to make a recovery OF the French
people slow and difficult and therefore to
leave the door for new invasions swung
wide open. Unless that judgment which
is due is visited upon the German people
the war will have been in vain. Not be-
cause one hates the German people, bul
because one loves civilization, humanity,
decency, one must fight until this Ger
man spirit is COZ qneIed and until The
German people perceive that 1t leads TO
destruction ane agony not in PIcardy and
Artois and Champagne alone, but III Va
varia, and Baden and B~randenburg also.

ENTENTE AIRMHN WORKING
HAVOC AMONG GERMANS

Paris, August 19-The airmen OF the
allies are working havoc with the Ger
man flyers and on German positions
far behind the lines. In fights In the
air Saturday, the French airmen ac-
counted for seventeen German aircraft
and ten British flyers, seven of which
were completely destroyed or forced
to land inside the Teutonic lines badly
battered from machine gun fire. Eight
British machines failed to return to
their bases.
In aerial raids behind the lines, al
lied machines have bombed numerous
towns, railway stations and conton-
ments, the raids extending as far as
Selzaete, near the Dutch border, eigh-
teen miles from Client, which also re-
ceived a visitation.
American aviators belonging to the
Lafayette squadron took a prominent
part In the French raids and perform
ed notable execution. One of the
Americans, Corporal Willis, of Boston,
was missing from the squadron when
it returned to its base.
German airmen also tried their
hand at slipping through the British
patrol and bombing. In this they also
were successful, but the score was
against them in the end for the ex-
plosive they loosed fell on British
prisoner clearing station, killing ten
Germans and inficting further
wounds into nine men of their army
who had already met with hard usage
at the hands of the British guns.

the conclusion hat where such trans

that whoever they were or from

any more than there is such a thing

OF land or the same horse would not
represent the same value TO any two
amen. Each piece OF property must be
appraised separately.
In a general way n may be said that
dry farm lands sell all the way from
sl5 10 $50 per acre. and irrigated lands
from $50 TO 800 or more. For pur-
poses OF taxation dry farm lands are
valued at about ST. per acre and ir-
rigated lands at $35 TO $40. Suffice Il
