NO PEACE WITH GERMAN VICTORS OF TEUTON 1 REORGANIZATION ASSERTSCARSON Treaty of Peace Does Not Necessa rily Mean Peace Question Is As to Whether Nations Are to Spend Energies Preparing for Next War, Living in Terror or Civil Pursuits. LONDON, Sept. 7. CuineMcnhilly willi llic luinoimci'inont that I'rciiiu-r Lloyd (iuorjtc would deliver tin iin jiorlimt speeeli on the war aims of the allies at iiirkenhead today, prom incMce is. given hy the ncwspapein to a statement by Sir Kdward (nr- Kiin to a eorrospondent, in whieh Sir Ldward deelares: "There is n grout deal of very loose and mischievous talk about peace. Some people seem to imagine wo have only to conclude treaty with Clennany and all will be well. Hut I should like to ask what is to happen then? Are the nations of tin world to proceed with preparations for t ho next conflict to pursue their researches in science to the expan sion and creation of still more deadly weapons of warfare to spend their resources in the creation of cnor luous cohorts of airplanes and sub marines for the desl ruction of unfor tified towns and life murder of I lie innocent women and children that in habit lliciu; to lake advnnlago of llic experiences gained in (his war in the improvement of Iclhal anil pois onous gases for the dcslructiou of humanity? Are we to live in daily terror that at any moment another conflict may arise which might al most lend In the extinction of civil i.aliou itselff Tmity IKkv Not Mean IVaco. "The truth is a treaty of peace docs not necessarily secure peace in the only sense wherein it can be of any real use to progress and liiiniauity. Wo talk platitudes about a league of nations lo enforce pence without con nidcrhig conditions essential lo its Kilcccss. Hut (hrni'wiis a league of nations to protect' llelgliim there Were Hiilcnm treaties and conven tions at The Hague to' apply tile principles of liinuanity as far as pos sible in wiii' iind give effect to in ternational law. How did theso avail on Hie outbreak of war7" ' ' ' ' Sir IMward lhea'uolcs Hie Ger man emperor as saying there is no international law, that treaties are scraps of paper, and so forth, and adds : Treaties Worthless. "I have not yet seen a single sug gestion nindu as lo how in future these calamities aro to be prevented from recurring if tlio lawless tempo of I ho Germans remains um'cpciitcnl and (heir power In repeal their, crimes remains what il has been in Hie past relatively lo (he rest of the world. I'rcsidcnt Wilson is right when he declares no terms signed by the present rulers of Germany would afford Hie slighlesl security for the wace of the world, and noth ing is more certain than that just in proportion as the itiililnn defeat of Germany is incomplete the duration of pence will be short. Whatever terms (icrmany might now bring her self to accept in order lo recuperate her strength for another aggression, her people would soon forget such economic privations as they have had to endure and would remain con vince, I they proved themselves in vincible.' Sir Ivhvanl asserted I lint if this war is to put an en, I to all war, icrmaii iiiiIVmii-iii auis he sulfi ienilv crushed !., nnikc fresh ag gression by her impossible I,,,- ,,hn tone lo come, "and until it is n.. ton -ger possible for llic tlcrmaa people Ho ni-.clves to be deluded bv the leg end of their iiiviueiliililv in amis." In conclusion Sir Kdward said i! Was obvious that Groat Ibitai 11 t ' earn- on the war until sueh a vi lory is attained ns will remove nil piae- j lien I danger of war in the future, "and any man who hies, wliateerj his moiive be. to destmet the ii'lcn-' lion of Ihe country from this goal! of ilcbvcieanec, is the worM enemy of real peace.' j I WASH I NOTON, Sept. 7.. -The for-j mntlon ot a second roiestiy regiment ' of ten battalions of luniiihcnticn and wood workers, who will bo to I-'miihc. nd get out timber for the use of the!

I FLEET FORCED America's Entrance Into War Com f pefs Strengthening of Aerial Flo tillas Aerial Forces Now Divided ' Into Four Principal Divisions, ' Each Increased In Size. PARIS, Aug. I). (Correspondence of the AHSoclnted I'icbh.) The en trance of America into tlio war and tlio probability that it soon would ho lending tbo allien tremendous aid In -tho aortal department of the atrug (?lo has lod (lormuiiy to reorganize and strengthen Ha own aviation branches materially, according to the Temps. This reorganization does 'not date exclusively from the breuk with the United States, hut rather from tho battle of the Somme, but It has been aecelcrated and Intensified by tho re ports thai hundreds If not thousands of airplanes with the Corresponding aviators to man them are soon to bo supplied to the entente forccB. Tlio reorganization of tho German aerial forces has taken tho form of creating roar principal divisions into which the fliers aro now placed, roughly as follows: 1 Army squad rlllas or "army fil ers' division" which aro dlroctly un der tho command of the army chief of aviation nnd tho work of which consists mainly of expeditions far to tho roar of tho lines. Thoy also are employed for bombardments, night flights, photographic work, and the airplanes employed aro of the most varied type, according to tho charac ter of the work they are to do., SiiH'rlor lliplancs. ( ltcccntly captured prisoners say Oiat a recently constructed blplnno of tbo albatross type 1h vastly super ior to anything, heretoforo used by these suundrlllas. It Ik equipped with 1110 h. ii. motor and attains a speed of from 100 to I la miles an hoar. It can rise to an altitude of moro than 20(10 yards In nlno minutes, and car ries two machine guns. Tho machines travel In groups of six or eight, ac cording to tho position nnd needs of tbo army to which they are attached. 2 L'orps squadrlllas or "troop fil ers" which aro attached to tho staff headquarters of tho various German armies and which aro commanded by captains. These generally remain within tho sector of the armies to which they aro attached and aro used In general for reconnaissances, pho tographing trenches, batteries and making patrol flights. 3 Hunting squadrlllas, as they arc called both by the French and tbo Cermans, aro the main attacking In struments of the German air forces, and for chasing enemy machines which venture over their lines. They are charged also with the destruction of the stationary balloons. liuttlo Flotillas. On tho west front, It Is estimated, there are about forty of these squad rlllas, with about a dozen machines to each. Others In tho samo category have as their duty tho protection of tho large German cities that He with in tho airplane flight of the French nnd Kngllsh, such as Strashurg, Frei burg, ' .Mulhoiise, Frlcdrlchshafen. Stuttgart, Essen, Cologne and Treves. The pilots of these squadrlllas arc carefully chosen from among the best of tho German aviators, and their ox IploltH are encouraged by frequent mention In the general staff reports. 4 Uattlo squadrlllas or "flotillas" aro under tho direction of great liead "qifiirtors, and shift from army to ar my! to carry out bombardments on military establishments behind the front, as well as ever and again upon opon towns. ' i ' There are, three of these squadrlllas now. Formerly there were more, but the others have been dismembered nnd their units attached to other arms of Ihe aerial servlco. Squadrlllas one and two are generally transported by train from place to place, wborover they aro most needed. I WASHINGTON', Sept. 7. In a summary of crop conditions, the crop reporting board states: "The great corn crop of 3,250,000, 000 busiiel8, promised on September 1, which Is 123,000,000 bushels above any previous year, will be realized fully In the form of sound corn only provided the frost holds off unusual ly late. A good big crop of corn Is promised if killing frost In the main belt does not come earlier than usual. The Indicated outcome results from a big acreage rather than exceptional promise of yield per acre. "The oats crop for 1917 promised and largely realized on September 1, is 1,553,000,000 bushels, within six million bushels of the. greatest pre vious crop. Conditions are reported 10 per cent above normal In Iowa and Missourla. In North Dakota, however, the crop promises only two fifths, and in Montana less than half or a i rmal yled, while It Is less than two-thirds In Washington and Ore gon. "The spring wheat report on Sep tember 1 promises 250,000,000 bush els, 14,000,000 bushels more than on August 1, early threshings having shown heavier yield than anticipated In many sections, particularly In Min nesota, South Dakota and Iowa. The conditions in North Dakota, as well as Montana, Washington and Oregon, remain poor from the, effect of drouth." ARREST DRIVES AGED PORTLAND, Sept. 7. J. W. Rob Inott, aged 50, who came here re cently from Roacnurg, Ore., killed himself here late today after having been arrested on a warrant from Roscburg, based on charges made by a girl. After his arrest Roblnett asked permission to return to his lodgings to get his extra clothing. He was taken there in charge of a deputy sheriff and his attorney. A. M. Craw ford, former attorney general of Oro gon, accompanied him also. At his lodgings Roblnett produced a pocket knife and slashed 'his throat, falling unconscious. The officer went to summon an amhulanco, when sudden ly Roblnett leaped up and ran to tho river, pursued by Crawford, who plunged In after blm. The two fought desperately In the water for posses sion of the knife. Finally Roblnett threw Crawford Into deep water and riiBhlng ashore entered a shack near by, where he again cut his throat, dying Instantly. Crawford saved himself. Us ii if1 .I CAPITAL $100,000.
