War Summary

The Germans apparently are end
ing their retreat along the front in
France and are preparing to give bat
tie everywhere to their n-coming
foes. Paris reports that between the
Somme and the Disc the Germans
made successive violent attacks
against the French troops holding the
east bank of the st. Quentin canal,
but that the French machine guns
stopped them. Attacks also were de-
livered by the Germans near La Fere
and between the Laon road and the
river Aisne but the French barrage
broke them up.
London reports that from the south
of Arras to the west of St. Quentin
along the entire British front, the Ger
mans are stiffening their resistance
increasingly. The only advance by
the entente along the French front is
claimed by the French, who crossed
the Ailette river at several points
Berlin asserts that on both sides Of
the Somme and Disc rivers engage
ments between Germans and entente
advanced detachments have resulted
favorably for the Germans.
There has been a renewal of ac-
tivity on the Russian front in the
Wilma region. Here the Germans ad-
vanced over front of two and a half
miles east of Ida and captured 225
Russians and number of guns. Pet
rograd admits the advance but says
that later the territory was re-taken
in Galicia near Brody. German at
lacks have been repulsed
The Turks in Persia are still in re-
treat before the Russians says Pet
rograd
The entente allies are still on the Of
fensive in Macedonia, but Berlin says
attacks north of Monastir have been
repulsed. Artillery duels and minor in
fantry attacks continue in the Austro-
Italian theater.

tinued.. q say that upon the issue of
the war hangs the question whether
America shall at the close of that war
be turned into one armed camp or
whether America shall be a subject ma
ton. There is no nation on earth-not
England, nor France, nor Belgium, nor
Italy, nor Russia-with a greater stake
in the success of the allies in this war
against German militarism than the
United States"
In opening his address Dr. Hibben
said:

believe in peace at any price and the
price at the present time is war;
George Wharton PEPPER said the ma
ton should recognize the fact that
even men and industrial preparedness
are of little worth unless we can put
into the hands of the men the ordinary
and necessary implements of warfare
rifles, guns ammunitions and all the
rest of the necessary equipment.
Theodore Roosevelt sent a letter in
which he urged instant and effective
action" against Germany After emu
merating numerous covert acts of war"
against this country, the former presi-
dent says:
UNLESS, in the words of Abraham
Lincoln we are degenerates whose
manhood has run out, we shall strike
hard and effectively in response to
these brutal and unprovoked injuries.
Unless we do so we shall show our
selves unworthy to be the heirs of the
steadfast soldiers of Washington, un-
worthy to claim kinship with the men
of high soul who, under the banners
of Grant and Of Lee, proved their truth
by their endeavor"
Mr. Roosevelt asserted the country
now was at war, and added that the
only question was whether we shall
make war valiantly or make war fee
bly,"
Charles S. Fairchild, who was secre-
tary of the treasury under President
Cleveland, told the audience that 1--WE
should take our place beside those peo-
pie that have fought many months for
all that is best in our traditions and
ideals; beside those who are fighting
our battle"
I'VE must help" declared Mr. Fair
child. What an hour would be that
when a great division of patriot SOL
dlerS from our land marched up to
that long battle line in France, under
the stars and stripes, greeted by Bri-
tannia and the Marsellaise, answering
with America and the Star Spangled
Banner, led by that ex-president of
ours whose name you know so well
Such another would be when from
over the Pacific another great division
marched to the front in Russia, sent
by the oldest to the youngest democ-
racy to help save both from the dread
full foe of all democracies."
Resolutions were passed calling
upon congress "as soon as assembled.
to declare that by the acts of Ger
many state of war does now exist be-
tween that country and the United
States.
The resolutions approved President
Wilson's action in severing diplomatic
relations with Germany, and of his
decision to arm American vessels and
summon congress.
They also urged immediate passage
OF bill for universal training and
added that I'VE call upon our govern
fhent for prompt, vigorous, and cour-
ageous leadership in the immediate
modifying of the entire naval, military
and industrial strength of the nation"

MUST COMMAND
AIR AS WELL AS
LAND AND SEA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


NEW YORK, March 22.-COmmand
of the sea and command of the land
are worthless without command of the
air, said Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary
today in an address here under the
auspices of the National Special Aid
Society
Admiral Peary, who is chairman of
the National aerial coast patrol com
mission, advocated establishment of a
department Of aeronautics with a place
in the presidents cabinet. the creation
OF IAN aviator class of thousands and
thousands of young men, and the
establishment of great industry
which would be to the air s-rvice in
THIS country What the krup ) are to
Germany in their field
He suggested a great central aero
nautic manufacturing plant in the in
terror of the country where it can be
protected to the last ditch
The broadcast material lesson for
the United States in the present Euro
Dean war is this" Admiral Peary said
command of the sea and command of
the land are worthless without COM
mand of the air.
Leaders across the water are say
ing:
First: That the time is near when
the air service of a country will be
more vital to its safety than its army
and navy combined
Second: That the decision in the
present war may come in the air
Third: That every country will be
obliged to have a separate independent
air service by the sheer necessity which
knows no law, regards no precedent,
fears no government.
The personnel of the French service
Is said TO number more officers and
men than our entire navy. Germany
is said to have over 10000 airplanes in
commission"
Laying stress on the imperative
need for a powerful airplane coast
defense system to give warning of the
approach of the foe or to attack a
hostile fleet, Admiral Peary said:
1T the present time four foreign
powers, probably six, have the men.
the machines, the experience and expert
knowledge that would enable any one,
of them by issuing an order today to
destroy Washington or any other of
our great coastal cities from the air in
single night two weeks from now"
The nation should spend he said.
S50,O00O00 year on its air service.

NEW YORK, March 22.-George D.
Ogden, freight traffic manager of the
Pennsylvania railroad, described today
the great congestion of freight at the
Norfolk and New Jersey terminals,
while testifying at a hearing conducted
in behalf of the Interstate commerce
commission, on the question of reduc-
ing the free time of storage on docks.
The trouble lay, Mr. ogden said, in
the inability of ships to take export
freight off the piers. This tied up
freight cars wanted at manufacturing
plants.
Mr. Ogden admitted that the rail-
roads request for a reduction in free
time would result in additional charges
against the shippers

The Spa improvements
Interior Arranged to Meet
the Popular Demand

The spacious parlor Of The Spa has
been improved with six booths on each
side, which do not fin the entire space,
but leaves a very pretty open parlor
at the front and through the center.
In the Old English style the booths are
in perfect harmony with the surround
ings, made of beautiful Oregon Fir
with upholstered seats and backs in
tapestry. The new tables are of special
design with plate glass tops. the pret-
ty grain of the veneered tops show
ing through the glass.
The booths will easily hold eight
people, though secluded and retired suf-
ficiently to satisfy the most retieent
tete-a-tete.- The new installation in
ereases the seating capacity from 80
to 1856.
The patrons of this place will be
thoroughly delighted with the service
afforded through the new equipment,
which makes it a most metropolitan
and complete candy and eonfeetion es-
tablishment. The coast cities of the
west are replete with attractive con-
dictionaries, but it is doubtful if any
of them combine unique simplicity
with rare elegance as does The Spa.
There is an air of quiet refinement
about The Spa which induces its high
class patronage, and the management
appreciates its critical demand through
which has been brought about this high
class establishment.
The new equipment was designed and
executed by designers and craftsmen
of Salem further credit to the talent
of this fine city.
