Artillery observation is one or the
most important branches OF air serv-

connection with modern artillery that
a noted authority recently stated that
if one side had airplanes while the
other had none the world war would
have been over in six months.
Pilots and observers work In con-
function with q battery. They arrange
beforehand with the general STAN JUST
where that battery is to operate. IL
they are ordered to seek out an enemy
battery that may be lodged at the emu
of a wood or in some concealed POSI-
ton the pilot maneuvers about under
the instructions Of the observer until
the battery is spotted, whereupon Its
position is signaled back by means OF
q wireless set to the battery COM
mander.
After notifying the battery to open
fire the observer hangs over the POSI-
ton at q height of, say, 5000 feet, to
avoid the trajectory Of the shells pass
ing beneath his machine, and as the
shells burst near the position under
fire the observer notifies his battery
how short or how far ahead or how
much to either side the shells are fall
ing. The observer then orders the pi-
lot to proceed over the next position,
and the operation is repeated. When
the work is completed the airmen are
ordered to return by means Of signals
In the form of canvas strips placed on
the ground.
All the while the observer is direct

subjected to intense bombardment by
anti-aircraft guns. which are firing
shrapnel shells by the hundreds. Fly
ing fragments of shrapnel are all about
the airmen-beneath them, all around
them and above them. For three hours
at times the airmen must endure this
Intense bombardment, and there Is no
telling at what moment the tail OF the
machine or some other vital part may
be blown away or when the machine

It's an important matter that you DO

An express official who travels al

times he has arrived an hour ahead

for reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea OF
making his watch tell all four different
times-eastern, central, mountain and
Pacific. He went to a jeweler and had

NOT MADE RIGHTEOUS BY THE
LAW.
TO the Editor:
The Sunday law crusade so visor-
Gus in Iowa at this time, has some,
what would be, ludicrous episodes
were the matte not so serious.
The old blue Laws" enacted by
common flesh-and-blood men, who
could not keep the law themselves
were for the purpose Of compelling
other men, no stronger, to do that
thing.
When now put to the test and en-
forced, some of the highest o1hclals
were first to break the law, become
guilty-and subject to penalty.
1t is not a new characteristic Tor
schismatics to try to make men moral
by law. 1t was attempted in the time
of St. Paul. He states in scriptures
that Judaizing teachers Slipped in on
him unawares, and instead of winning
souls to then present truth that the
crucified Jesus was the Christ, as he
was preaching, injected a counter
work, a non-essential, that to be saved
men must be circumcised and keep
the law of Moses; when always the
sign of circumcision was only an out
ward seal of an inward work OF grace
in the heart, without which the for
mer was worthless.
The apostle Stephen declared to his
murderers as they were about to stone
him to death: "Ye uncircumcised in
heart and ears, We do always resist the
Holy Ghost" this to men circurhcised.
p" So Paul says that these men who
have come in to spy out our liberty IN
Christ do not keep the law, but want
to bring you into bondage that may
glory in your flesh by making you do
what they cannot do themselves.
Paul says: circumcision is moth.
ing, and uncircumcision is nothing,
but the keeping OF the commandments
Of God''-not Of Moses. He recog'
nized the right of man to be religious
or non-religious as he chose; but
knowing the terror of the Lord, he
said that he persuaded men-not
forced or coerced them.
Our Sunday law advocates should
they get what they seek would be dis
satisfied with them, and among the
first to break them in looking around
watching to see If others were trans
crossing. The law is always for the
other man" and not for them. They
act upon the principle that they should
have divine approval for helping God
make men good. Christ said: IF any
man hear my words and believe not,
Judge him not; for ! came not to judge
the world, but to save the world.
y God does not in His Word ask an!
man nor body of men to assist Him

war, but the whole German people is
united in the determination not to let
itself be destroyed. No one who knows
this people will believe that its pow
er is weakened Never would it for
conquests sake endlessly pour out its
blood. Its existence, its freedom, to
move about in the world and the heri-
tage Of its children it will defend
to the last drop of blood and with all
possible means.
To the enlightened and democratic
elements among us it would be sor-
rowful indeed if Germany should in
doing so have to come in open con-
ficti with the great democracy OF
America. We still wish to hope that
this can be avoided. But whoever
judges of the situation soberly knows
that. only under one condition can this
conflict be avoided-only if Wilson
orders American ships to avoid the
blockaded region (Sperrgebiet). Just
as Wilson's new policy is going to
hinder the creation of league OF
peoples and lasting peace, it will also
be detrimental to a liberal and pro-
gressive development of Germany.
If Germany wins, as we believe it
will. in battle against all the western
and the democratic peoples, the re-
suit is self-evident. If Germany sue
cumbs to seperior forces, which we
do not believe, and she should be sub
jected and pinioned as the entente
desires, this powerful and fatherland-
loving people will not quietly submit
to it's fate. There will, follow a ma
tionalistic movement which will put
into the background in Germany all
thots OF domestic freedom. In any
event Mr.. Wilson is now retarding
or making impossible the realization
of all the ideas to which he is appaT-
emily devoted. Theodor Wolff.

NEED FOR ADEQUATE DEFENCE

NEED FOX ADEQUATE OEf ENCE
The National Association OF Manu-
facturers has issued special trade
bulletin scouting tho probability OF
any disastrous effect on our trade be-
cause of German submarine activities.
The bulletin declares:
whether or not state of war de.
yelops between the United States and
the Central Powers, the area of sub
marine warfare is not likely to be
greatly changed, as naval authorities
deem it imperative for those Powers
to secure, their aims that they should
concentrate their submarine energies
in the waters of the western group
of the entente powers as limited by
the declared boundaries Of the bloc
ade zone. This would leave the wat
ers of the great oceans practically
as safe as they are at present. $500.
Consequently, a possible curtailment
of trade with western Europe by sub
marine warfare will necessarily OPP
crate to open up additional opportuni-
ties for business in the regions which
cannot be materially affected by sub
marine operations, and which include
the rich markets of all Latin America
Asia, Australia, and Africa"
But in the event of state Of war
developing between the United States
and the Central Powers, is there any
hypothesis on which to base the state
ment that those powers will concen-
trate all their energies within the
boundaries of the war zone now de-
clared to be in a state Of blocade? The
blockading in a limited war zone OF
products of. a country, and conducting
actual warfare against that country,
are two different matters. In the
former, the blockading powers seek
to prevent the delivery to the enemy
of foodstuffs and equipment; In the
latter We have the enemy with which
to deal, bent on wholly destroying our
trade; no matter where bound. Ger,
