ENGLISH WOMEN ASK
 EQUALITY IN COURTS
Protest Against Condoning Attacks on Wives by Soldiers Who Claim
 Unfaithfulness.

London, March 31,-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-British wo- men are demanding greater consider ation from the courts. The council of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Society has adopted a res olution protesting against the atti- tude of the bench and prosecuting counsels in recent cases in which sold iers guilty of murder or, of brutal at tacks upon their wives, have been dis charged CT condemned to merely nom. inal punishment on the grounds of al legations of the immoral conduct of their victims" The council denounced "the assumptions involved that mar ried woman is chattel without rights to the full protection of the law, and that violence and brutality of hus- band towards his wife may be condon- ed on such grounds"
 A resolutio was also adopted pledg- ing the society in it's work for the po- litical equality of women with men, to keep. spscialyy in mind the disfran- chised women wage-earners whose economic interests will be so vitally affected by the reconstruction in which they will not have the same political share as the employers and male wage earners.
 The existing laws as to parenthood were condemned by the Council in an other resolution. The executive com mittee was directed to suggest a plan to improve the position of unmarried mothers and illegitimate children

NO REST FOR SCHOOL OFFICERS

Washington, April 18.-The 12,OOO privates and college men who will be graduated from the third series of training camps tomorrow as eligible for commissions as second lieutenants will continue their studies until they actually receive their commissions. They will remain at the schools, be assembled at one central school for advanced study, or will be sent over seas at an early date. Present indi- cations are that the latter course will probably be adopted in the case of most of the graduates.
 The decision to continue the train. ing of the students marks change in policy on the part of the War De- partment. The original plan, announ- ced before the opening of the third series of camps three months ago, was to the effect that if there were no vacancies for the men at the close of the camps they would return to their commands and would serve as privates until vacancies occurred. Now the department officials have decided that it would be unwise to send the men back to their commands and permit them to deterioate. Accordingly the new plan for advanced study was pre- pared. It is intended to give the men the best training possible so that they will be exceptionally good line offic- CTS when the time comes to com mission them.

SACRED ROAD WAR MEMORIAL.

Paris, April 17.-Already the French government has decided on a memorial that will worthily repres- ent to the ages to come the grand eur and the horror of the present worldwar. It is to take the form of a sacred road"s stretching four hundred miles, from the coast of Flanders to far Alsace, along the line on which for three years and more the contending hosts have fac ed each other in grim battle.
 Planted on each side with forest trees, the memorial road is to grow year by year. century by century, in- to an undying an dperpetual momu- mcnt which Nature herself shall raise in everlasting commemoratiOn fthe war.
 In the woods at either side the countless heroes who have given up their lives for humanity will sleen their last sleep in graves kept beua- tiful by tender an grateful hands. Thus within this long and narrow woodland belt will be preserved the whole majesty, the whole terror. the sacrifice. and abomination of war as memorial and lesson to the generations to come.
 Already active preparations are being made for the commencement of the scheme. By direction of the French government. added ty the CO., operation of patriotic societies and indiidvuals, million young trees have been collected and when peace at last comes tothe world. this sacred road will spring quickly into being

CREDITS LANGLfY WITH INVENTION
 Of THE A|RPLANE
Leading Scientist Points Out How Langley Met Death
 In Experiment.

1 Pitsburg, April 17-Samuel P.
 Langley's priority in the invention of
 the airplane was acknowledged by Dr..
 John A. Brashear, of Pitsburg, scient-
 ist and intimate friend of the inventor,
 in dedicating recently the Langley
 Laboratory of Aeronautics at the Car negie Institute of Technology. Lang ley invented the heavier than air ma lchine," declared Dr. Brashear
 He recalled the fact that Professor Langley's death was due to the. fall into the Potomac river of an airplane with which he was experimenting. More than 32 years ago." Dr. Bra shear said. 'I heard scientist read a paper on The Soaring Birds of Flori- da' before a gathering of scientists. This man had gone down there and hidden hiself in the trees fastening bits of foliage to him, and watched those large birds. Then he began to experiment with machines that would fly. He was ridiculed by that assem- blaze of scientists-all except one Samuel Pierpont Langley. Afterwards he told me it was a trange topic to be discussed in scientific reating, but that it had made such ar impression on him that he began to take an in terest fin flying.
 "He came over to my little work shop on the hill one day and asked me to help him in his experiments. Then he went to William ThaU one day and previously assisted him, and obtained financial help. Now in tiose days, whoever talked much about flying re- ceived a great deal of abuse and ridi cule But this did not affect my friend Langley for he was set in his puJ- post
 "He first used the Pinaud flying ma
 chine, toy that was propelled by a rubber band being wound up and then released. He said if that toy could fly he did not see why larger machines made nthe same principle couldn't
 be made to do it too.
 ''Then his efforts were crowned with
 a measure of success. He sent up a machine over the Potomic river, near Washinton. One of the saddest half hours I ever spent was in the Smith sonian Institute in Washinton, some years ago when when Langley told me of one experiment that failed. It
 wasn't failure, but he thought it was. Unkind words broke his heart. He died broken hearted man.
 | q have known nearly all the pion-
 eers in aviation, and when I see the
 work yo uare doing here I feel that it 1 is great honor to be here to see the
 fruition of the work of my good friend
 Langley and see him ahonored by this
 institute He was bigger man than
 any university-he was man of the nation--and I am gla dto be connected
 wit hany association that honors him" l Dr. Rrashear is trustee of the Car

Give What You Have 1!
By George k. Bowen

iSS oCpI SC E<. DON CI
 Maybe you're a millionaire. 4 That isn't much.
 Money is only a token.
 But give your million.
 A young man said to me: "I wish had more to give. I can offer only my life.'
 And in his eye there was look that might have been in the eyes of the Maid of Orleans-that might have gone out through the darkness from the Cross on Calvary
 He was just a boy-as young as would be accepted for over-sea serv- ice.
 His resources never had been weighed, inventoried or tested.
 He just put everything personal in a lump and gave it all-regretting it was not enough.
 He didn't call or feel it sacrifice Rather. {; glad tribute to worlddem- Ocracy: a consecrated investment in humanity.
 He had so little-no great, accepted talent: no envied. golden treasure; no swelling sense of importance-just his life and youth and devotion--,and these he gladly gave. s-.7..,s Armies so constituted don't go out to defeat. nor come back to betrayal. What are we giving?
 What have we to give?
 A desire to do may be worth more than dollars of doubt The spirit counts Maybe your life is only a remnant. Maybe most of it has gone into other things.
 Give what you have.
 Experience enthusiasm, wisrom. All these are needed.
 Patience, forbearande, fortitude, faith
 These may be needed more.
 Search yourself.
 There always are forgotten things ]. like courage. hurrying initiative. reso- lution. There always are hidden things. like pride and honor and remuneration. You may be poor in dollars and rich in qualities.
 All are needed. ss
 There's a war to be won.
 Or, a world lost.
 Search yourself.
 Give what you have!

IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE.
Why the Professional Has Advan
taSe of the Amateur.

There is as much professionalism
in the fighting OF war as in priZefight-
ing. The following statements by an
American general. West Point grad
uate. help to understand the task
that Germany puts before this coUn-
t:y ani the allies.
The Germans alone knew about
this kind OF war and have prepared
for il.
West Point neither taught nor
knew anything like it except for oh
serNatiOn and recent study. 1t is as
new TO the veteran American OIL
English officer as to the nineteen,
ycar-old recruits.
This modern fighting is matter
of discipline and professionalism
"disciplinc" that overcomes excite
ment. ignores wounds cndures ev
crything, obeying orders.
TO understand what this wal
means you must know that a Prus
sian officer can rely on his men a:
though they were so many posts o
steel automatically moving or stand
ing, as he commands.
People ask how soon after they
are enlisted can they be made ready
for this kind of fighting They are
surprised to hear that three months
preparation or six months prepara
ton is little better than nothing and
guarantees nothing.
What are three or six months OF
discipline in training compared with
the German soldier training and dis,
ciplined from the cradle?
Newspaper dispatches talk about
throwing in reserves, but the truth
is that reserves lacking the discipline
OF years can not stand.
In the noise OF bursting sheels
an officer can not be sure that his
men cAll absolutely green") com.
pared with the Germans, Will stand
or see or otpy signals or know what
they are do3eeg.
1t is not question of courage. bui

The desperate German drive on
the western front had one effect
that will not give any satisfaction
to Germany. 1t has resulted in the
United States speeding up prepara-
tion, and troops are to be rushed to
France as fast as the combined
transportation facilities of both the
United States and Great Britain can
put them across. AS they arrive on
the other side they will be absorbed
into the armies of the Allies, and
what they may lack in training will
be rubbed into them in short order.
This will prove of benefit to the
troops themselves as we'll as mater
tally Strengthening the allied front.
With the help of Great Britain we
should be able to make our power
felt at the front very soon now. And
surely there is need of the help our
troops can give. America will watch
with feverish interest the trans
porting of our troops, and hail the
day when we shall have sent
enough to turn the tide of battle in
to an allied victory.

OUR SCHOOLS IN DANGER.

In a letter published elsewhere in
of the State Council of Defense
calls attention to the grave dangers
our schools are facing as result OF
the war and the high cost of living
Wages and salaries in almost ev-
cry other vocation have risen pretty
much in keeping with the cost OF
living. but still the teachers grind
on at practically the same old starva-
tion wages.
1t Is idle to think there will be
any appreciable decrease in the
cost OF living for the next several
years. and the individual or institu-
tion that does not adjust itself to
the changed conditions is toying with
bankruptcy. In this the public schools
are facing a problem-a grave prob
lem-that calls for prompt action.
If the harm done were only in
forcing a number of people to live
on inadequate wages, the matter
would not be very serious. But the
harm does not stop here. The i'm
possibility of obtaining living salar-
les is inevitably forcing the ambi-
tious teacher out of the profession
and into some other calling that Of
fers better returns.
The natural results must be the
filling of the schools with lot of
second-rate teachers, boys and girls
who regard the school-room as
merely stop-gap between their own
school days and Il profession. The
only possible result of this condi-
ton must be the grievous neglect OF
the youth of the land.
And this is Il time when the coun-
try cannot afford to neglect her
children. We have had too hard a
struggle to reach our present intel
lectual plane to afford to yield one
fraction of the progress we have
made.
There is but one remedy, and that
is for the people to look the situa-
tion sQuarely in the face, and be
willing to levy taxes for school pur-
poses that will put the teaching
profession up and abreast the other
professions. II this is not done
n2 = Of the more competent teach
e-s VII leave he scho u room for
more lucrative Ceilings.
1t is Il serious problem that de-
serves the profound consideration OF
every thoughtful person.
