LONDON, July 25.-Members of the
mission sent to England and Frahce
by the Social Democratic League of
America declare that the way to de-
feat the expected German peace drive
IS to convince the Socialist and labor
leaders of the Entente nations that
America stands solidly behind Presi-
dent Wilson and backs UP his peace
terms to the limit
Their purpose in coming to Europe
to confer with Socialist and labor
leaders OF England and France is to
convince them that American Socialists
and workingmon are unit in sun
port of President Wilson's peace terms.
The mission is composed of John
Spargo, A. NJ. Simons, Louis Kopelin
and Alexander Howat

Once this fact is accepted by the
Socialists of the Allied nations there

spread of peace sentiment IN Austria

that the Socialists of Austria and Ger
many have agreed TO accent substan-
TALLY these terms. If thus is true the
need of an inter- bellligerent Socialist
conference disappears, since the Social
lists of all nations viii have agreed
upon the peace terms asked by the
United States.
Whether the expected German
peace offensive finds sufficient re-

bodies Of the Entente nations to in

democratic nations depends largely
upon the possibility of convincing such
bodies that America stands solidly be-
hind President Wilson's peace terms.
British Socialists Misrepresented.
The overwhelming mass of British
laborers and Socialists wish TO win the
war. They are misrepresented by a
small group controlling their political
organization. Even this group protests
its desire for victory, but some believe
victory impossible and others charge
that if obtained it will be used by i'm
perialists TO pave the way to future
wars.

Air Bombers Take
Place of Artillery

WITH The FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 13.-During the battles
of the last few days the aerial service,
particularly bombarding squadrons, has
been playing a most important role
The bombing planes have virtually re-
placed the heavy artillery. which the
Allies were not able to bring up fast
enough to keep pace with their ad-
vance.
The work of these airplanes is so
organized that they Immediately at
eack groups of infantry, conveys and
supply trains when they receive signals
from recommending planes In this
their work is very similar to that of
the heavy artillery in its coordination
with the aerial service.
Bombarding squadrons are kept
ready for instant service at airdromes
so they may take the air at the in
slant a call is received from signal
planes, troops or conveys in villages
or at road terminals.
This system was employed at Las
signy the other day. An observing
plane reported the town encountered

planes to the number of 121 flew to the
spot and twentyone tons Of bombs
were dropped This attack caused a
large fire. destroyed motor lorres and
blocked the streets of Lassigny, tying
up the movement of the enemy for
hours.

Of the army been given. The advices
indicate that it comprises, however, FIVE
full corps, which means approximately
1,250,00O men.
The effect of the taking over of the
line is to make a definite BE- ginning at
apportionirg the long front The Brit
ish hold the left flank, aided by the
Belgians, from the sea to the juncture
of the British Fourth Army and the
French First Army in Picardy, where
az offensive is being carried out at
present.
Block Road to Paris
The French armies presumably are
being concentrated wholly between the
Picardy juncture with the British and
the American left beyond Verdun. They
block the roads to Paris.
To the Americans has fallen the re-
mainder of the front to the Swiss Dor
der, when the other American armies
shall have been formed The First
army undoubtedly now holds the bulk
of that line, with such French help as
is necessary. The whole line probably
is under General Pershing's direct com

While the enemy is still in northern
France it may be that no major attack
