GERMANS CLAIM SUPE RID RI Y
 IN A|RNEN

THE HAGUE. Netherlands, Aug. l. Interesting comparisons of British French and German methods of air fighting were made recently by Gen eral yon Hoeppner. commander of the German flying forces, in an interview with the Berlin correspondent of the Holland News Bureau. General yon doeppner admitted that the air forces of the entente allies were superior on the western front and in the Balkans, but said that on the eastern front the German airmen outnumbered their ad. versaries. Mere superiority in num- bers, however. he professed to believe. meant nothing when compared with the quality of machines and of the men flying them. He added:
 The Frenchman Is obviously not to be placed on par With our air men from the point of view of morale, but 1t is just in flying tine Briton proves that he Is of German race. and therefore has love of fighting. In general the Frenchman only attacks when he feels himself numerically su- perior. He avoids fight under equal conditions. The Briton seeks the com bat. The Frenchman only attacks once; if the first attack be unsuccess- ful, he immediately retires. The Eng lishman, on the other hand, fights till he or his opponent goes under.

The appointment of Hugo Bezdek University of Oregon coach and ath letic director, as manager of thu Pittsburg Pirates, may not necessarily mean that the university will have to find new football coach.
 No action has yet been taken by the school officials toward filling Bez dek's place, and 1t is very probable they want to retain him, for 1t was Bezdek who trained the Oregon elevan that defeated Pennsylvania last New Years day at Pasadena.
 It has been pointed out that the baseball season closes early in oeto Der. and that the university prob tbly will open late in September. So by coming directly west Bezdek could arrive at Eugene in time to whip out team. As he would have to leave

Tn their Spad aeroplanes of POO horsepower, and the British Sopwith triplanes, they possess splendid ma chimes, which mostly equal our best machines.
 More important, however, than the superiority of the machines is that of the crews. The enemy battle airmen are just as much up to their job as ours. That is not so, however, with the reeonnoitering airmen In the case of the French, their training, which should be of purely military character, is mediocre; while the Brit. ish Is even inferior. Here are to be found the deeper causes of the better performances of our fliers.
 ITO Britishers flying is sport, the climax whereof Is asffght. They seek the combat regardless of the question whether the carrying out of the charge entrusted to them. renders this ne cessary or not. The German is first of all soldier, who looks upon every flight as military operation, and that decides his line of conduct. Our pro portionately smaller losses. therefore, show that our commanders are too good soldiers to set their airmen i'm possible tasks. Moreover, the airmen are not sent out singiy. for the fulfill. ment of military tasks Is more import ant than all spirit dof sport and all bravery. The century-old German mili- tary tradition cannot be caught up with by the three years warfare of the British"
 A final inquiry as to who the Ger mans prefer to meet as enemies. elicited the response: That Is a question which may not be put. It Is not the sporting achievement, but the fulfillment of the charge in hand that is the main thing. With us every sol dier wants to be Boelcke--the death of his comrades does not frighten him."

-- respectfully petition your
honorable body to take such legal action as

Europe an American army, to take part In

(1) We as American citizens believe that

Government has no constitutional authority

ing the citizen, against has aci7, to serve in

THE JET FERSONTAN

Against Cranmers memory he brings no
charges Of thousands of victims: no charges
Of torture no charge of 'parboiling.'
The solitary case mentioned Bochers
is bad enough, God knows, but it happened
IN an age when Rome had taught all Christen-
dem to murder human beings in the name of
Christ.
As to the Dutchman who denied the divinity
of Christ, he could not have dwelt in Mary
land under Lord Baltimore's charter, nor in
Mexico under the rule Of Dictator Diaz and
The infamous Archbishop Mora-of whom
Cardinal Gibbons is SO extremely fond.
Under Diaz and Mora, eight Protestants
were publicly burnt on the Square, at
Texacapa, In November 1896 not because
they denied the divinity Of Christ, but BE-
cou$c they denied the diri1aity Of the Italian
Pope,
Do the Catholic Laynen Of Georgia re-
member this case?
Among those eight victims Of papal fire in
1895, were fire men, tlro ac0n2en, AND ONE
LITTLE GIRL
What do you think of that, Messrs, Lay
men?
1t was the lar Of youg- foreign church, that
murdered those Mexicans-the same satanic
law which massacred the Albigenses, the
Huguenots. the WaIdensians. the Lollards,
the Presbyterians, the Baptists, and the
Episcopaans.
That internal law remains on the statute
book Of your foreign church: and, if you
American footkssers succeed in your many
sided efforts to snake .An1erica Cdthozic,"
THAT LAW Will. DELUGE THIS COUNTRY WITH
INNOCENT BLOOD.
There is not a kingdom in Europe that has
not run red, in consequence Of Rome's muir
derous laws and Inquistion.
From Portugal and Spain, to the British
Isles; from the Northern limits of Bohemia,
to The sunny plains of Southern France; from
the shores Of the Mediterranean Sea, to the
stormy waves Of the Baltic, your hellish sys
tenn of Popery has gIutted itself on human
agony and human blood.

Cranmcr was the Catholic prelate who

divorce from his Catholic wife, Catherine Of
Aragon, after the Italian Pope had played
politics with the kings application for several
years.
I'm our own day. We have seen the Italian
Pope grant divorces to the rich Drcxels Of
Phiadelphia and to the rich Crollcrs of New
York and Cranmcr knew that the Italian
Popes had recently granted divorces to their
own bastard children, and to such disable
kings as Louis XII. Of France but the Pope
Of Henry Eighth's day was so completely in
the power Of GATHERINGS nephew the Empe-
ror Charles V, that King Henry could not get
his divorcc)

morning and started the office

Then | put in the rest of the
day looking after the outside
business until o o'clock, when I
went to the office and kept 1t
open until 7. Three or four
nights a week | was compelled to

until midnight to keep up with
my work.

duties were the same. l per-
formed them with the same thor
oughness as before.
After waiting a reasonable
time, ] resigned. They gave me

After leaving them | got a posi-
tion with one of the biggest cor

Story of a Ranch

EDITOR THE TIMES:
| see they are talking of pass
ing a law to send teachers to the
homes of children who cannot
get to school.
Thirty years ago a man and
his crippled wife settled on a
quarter section of timber. They
had little money.
They built a little log cabin,
and started to dig a well, could
not strike water; tried another,
same result. When their money
was gone, they left it.
A locator sold 1t to a widow.
She could not do anything with it,
so traded her right to a single
man. He used to come and stay
there between jobs.
He cleared a few acres, built
three-roomed house and a good
big barn, proved up, and left 1t,
married and lived in town. Some
years afterward he moved back
and started up in good shape.
In about year he sold to the
timber company.
He said 1t cost him more to live
there than 1t did in town, and ii
was too far for the children to go
to school.
Then two men bought it be-
tween them. One was to run the
place, the other work out to make
the living. The timber company
kept the timber. The next year
they wanted to sell out.
The storekeeper wanted what
they owed him.
A real estate man made a
homeseeker believe he could get
rich letting cattle run in the woods
around that place, so he put $4,000
in 1t.
Soon afterwards he did not
know whether he ought to kill
somebody or 60 off and forget it;
so he got his married son to come
and live on the place and he went
back home.
After a while he traded 1t for
something with big mortgage on
it, and the next man traded 1t for
a boat, and now the man that
owns It is paying family $25
month to live on 1t till he can get
rid of it.
This family has three children
that ought to be in school.
You can find lots of other
places like this one.
