Aston- THURSDAY EVENING, BRITISH AIRMEN ACTIVE AGAINST GERMAN FLYERS Many Raids Have Been Car ried Out; Bring Down Hun Planes By Associated Press British Front in France and Bel glum, Tuesday, March 12.—This has been another day of ideal fighting weather, but there has been no change in the situation. The artillery pounds continually and the British airmen have been doing marvelous work. The first ten days of March, as a whole, have been among the best yet recorded for the air serv ice. In addition to a vast amount of reconnoitering and photographing, the aviators have destroyed more than thirty-nine German airplanes and brought down forty others out of control, notwithstanding adverse weather. Only fifteen British ma chines are reported missing. Virtual ly all these air battles occurred be hind the German lines. Bombing raids have been almost continuous. One successful expedi tion was against three enemy air dromes on March 9, during the day time. A British aerial fleet arrived at an hour when numbers of German machines about to start were stand ing in a field near their hangars. The British attacked at a height of four hundred feet and, because of their low altitude, were able to shoot with disastrous effect. Several buildings were set on fire and direct hits were observed among the German ma chines. The British returned flying at a height of a hundred feet, which just enabled them to clear the tree tops. They used their guns on every mili tary object in sight. The first attack was made on a horse transport. Some of the horses were killed amd the rest stampeded, upsetting the wag ons. Another horse transport was stampeded and then a detachment of marching infantry came into range. Several of the soldiers were shot before they could reach coyer. Equally effective was the shooting against some cavalry, two officers being among those toppled from their saddles. The British machines returned safely, not having been at tacked by the enemy at all.

GERMAN PRESS SEES SLAV STATES TEUTON THORN Zcilung Considers Breaking Up of Russia Bad Policy By Associated Press Amsterdam, Wednesday, March 13. —Some sections of the German press are uneasy over the developments in the Far East. The Frankfurter Zeitung consid ers that the breaking up Qf Russia into a number of independent states is a bad policy for Germany and urges the greatest tact and prudence be used in dealing with the border states so they will not "in the future sigh for a reunion with Russia and become so many thorns in Germany's stde." The newspaper adds: "Clearly the entente policy is to use the Japanese alliance to shove Germany out of Asiatic markets for ever. Germany played their game by breaking up Russia. Germany now has no more hope than ever of being able to conduct a Far Eastern policy except in conjunction with Great Britain and Russia. That is why a weak Russia will not contribute to Germany's utimate welfare." Captain Von Salzmann, the mili tary critic of the Vossische Zeitung, writes: : "Germany too late began to realize that the time might come when the United States and Japan would see that war is not always the most profitable way of settling differences. Germay's Russian policy has played the game brilliantly for Great Brit ain and the United States. In the same way Germany has increased Holland's debt of gratitude to Great Britain. "It should have been Germany's game to earn Holland's gratitude by guaranteeing her the safe possession of her East Indian colonies, but in stead of this she cemented the An glo-Japanese alliance and delivered the Dutch colonies from Japanese pressure southward by opening the door to Japanese enterprise in Rus sia. "Only the most limited intelligence can believe that the breakup of Rus sia will be to Germany's advantage. The true results of Germanys' Rus sian policy already are patent in the lessening of the differences between Japan and the United States, and the cementing of the Anglo-Japanese al liance and the consequent security of the Anglo-Indian and Australian colonial possessions, as well as the Dutch and French colonies in South east Asia. "The consequences are that Ger many again finds herself without friends in the world, while Great Britain laughs In the background."

BRUMBAUGH HITS AT SPROUL Governor Objects to Adding Additional Mileage to State Road System Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to day continued his fire upon Senator 'William C. Sproul, a statement writ ten here yesterday and left when the Governor went to Philadelphia being issued from his office at the Capitol. In this statement the Governor at trcked the Senator from a new angle. \esterday he made statements ap parently calculated to involve the Senator In a controversy on the pro hibition amendment. To-day he goes after the Senator's course in regard to the highway law, declaring that he did not attempt to reduce the mileage added to the state highway law. Commissioner J. Denny O'Nell lias several times criticised the mile age added to the state system. The Governor amplifies his remarks. The Governor's statement is as fol lows: "Mr. Sproul is quoted as saying In his Chester county speech that he favors adding additional miles to the present highway system, giving as his reason that in this way the ex pense of road construction and main tenance would be a less burdensome matter for the. people. "For three years I have declared it my Judgment that the mileage is now too great because roads cannot be built without money, which Sproul and his legislative associates would not provide and refused to lay the necessary taxes on corporations for any purpose, and the Assembly un der such control would not give the Highway Department the funds es sential for proper maintenance and only a small part of the money need l rd for permanent construction. To add to the mileage is to add to the cost upon the state. Sproul's record hfrre shows lie has been the leading factor in preventing legislation that would produce revenue for road pur poses. He served sptecial privileges and not the people. "His pretence to lessen the cost upon the people by increasing the mileage for the state is scarcely worthy even a desperate man's change of front. Only a few months ago he favored a tax of a mill upon all real estate for road purposes, tut. having in mind the effect, he said he would not dare openly advo cate such a tax, although he person ally declared It to be the way to raise money to give the state high ways the funds essential to their de velopment. But he as definitely op posed any tax upon corporations for this purpose. "Moreover, when T personally urg ed him to favor a reduction 6t mile age of state highways to the end that state's fund should be ade quate to the people's expectations and not wasted in a foolish effort to maintain more miles than <he funds made possible, he declared that I was right, that when the so-ca4led Sproul read bill was up there was a most unfair political scramble to add all sorts of roads to the state's mileage and he could not prevent it. He also declared that the present mileage is too great and that he would like to See it reduced, but that the 'little fellows' in the counties would not dare go along on a plan to crut nut vnnecessary sections, and he would, he said, commit political suicide if he openly advocated It. "So we have a man bidding public ly for office on an issue ,that he himself repudiated, and his insincer ity in this is but one of several rea sons why he should not be nominat ed by the Republican party. This Is no time-to attempt to deceive. Peo ple understand, and they" are ready to act.",.

Spring Opening Days, March 14, 15 and 16 MILLER & KADES Furniture Department Store 7 NORTH MARKET SQUARE GOVERNOR MIXED SAYS MR. SPROUL Delaware Senator Declares Executive Is Mistaken; Firm For Prohibition Senator William C. Sproul. of Del aware county, who was assailed by Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh yes terday on the ground that his decla ration for the prohibition amend ment was not satisfactory, declared last night in Philadelphia that the Governor was mistaken in his refer erfce to an alleged conversation on the subject of local op'tion. The Sen ator in his newspaper, the Chester Times, came out yesterday with a strong editorial declaring for pro hibition and favoring the amend ment, the statements made being very positive. When asked for a comment on the Governor's statement the Senator salct: "Myj-elatlons with Governor Brum baugh have never been such that we would likely be exchanging condi denccs. X never had any conversa tion with him on this subject. I fear he is mistaken in the time, the place and conversation. The best answer to his statement is my action, in taking up the fight for members of the Legislature here at home who will vote for the ratification of the pro hibitory amendment." Senator Sproul added, laughingly, that "it seems strange that the Gov ernor and his friend, 'Denny,' were so anxious to keep him off the pro hibition band wagon and to keep it for their own express benefit." Before the Go\'erpor's statement burned the wires from Harrisburg the Chester Times, Senator Sproul's paper, declared unequivocally for the dry amendment and pledged its support to a Delaware county dele gation to the State Legislature who would declare unreservedly for the amendment. The editorial in the Times was as follows: "The question of national prohi bition has received a great impetus through the national patriotic up lift occasioned by the participation of this country in the great world war. From a local issue it has be come a moral issue and from a moral issue it has grown to be a great economic and patriotic issue. "The BUDmisslon of Congress to the states of the national prohibi tory amendment for ratification has made the quesUon one of immedi ate importance from a political standpoint. Many people who have long believed that doing away with strong drink was desirable now see an opportunity of accomplishing what they have long hoped might become a reality. All over the coun try there is a rapid increase in sen timent for the prompt enactmertt of the prohibitory amendment, and, as Senator Sproul said in his speech at West Chester, it is in line with the spirit of self-sacrifice, self-denial and self-discipline to which the American people have set themselves in order to meet the present great national crisis. "It looks as though the vote of the states upon the question would be almost unanimouß. Thirty-six states, or three-quarters of the whole num ber, are required, for the ratification of the amendment and there seems to be virtually no doubt that not only this numhsr of approving votes will be secured, but that there will be few, if any, rejections of the propo sition. "Whether Pennsylvania ratifies the amendment or not, it will, without question, become the law of the land and there is no reason why Penn sylvania should not ratify it. We be lieve that the overwhelming senti ment of the people of the state is in favor of its ratification. The question will be settled by. the next legislature, each house voting sop aYately upon it. A majority vote in the' House and Senate are required to pass the amendment. In most, if not all of the countries, there Is aver.v active effort being made to se cure the election of members of the Legislature who will vote favorably upon this question. Even in the big cities, the movement is gaining great force and in Philadelphia probably a majority of the members of the House and Snate will be found upon the prohibition side. "We believe that the sentiment pf the people of Delawuro county is in accord with the rest of the state upon this question and the local po litical organizations of both parties will undoubtedly select men pledged to this program. There can be no question that the representatives from this district outside of the city of Chester will go to Harrisburg with prohibition as one of the pledges upon which they were elected and the question in the city even at the present time will be a close one. The limes believes the entire delegation from Delaware county should vote for the ratification of the amend ment upon grounds of patriotism, economy and loyalty to the country and will give such assistance as it canto accomplish this end."
