CLEAN THE WALKS The rain of yesterday and today “has shown some badly needed im- provements in the matter of keeping up the walks over the city. In many places, the cement sidewalks are close to an elevated soil level so that the wind and previous rains have car- ried an accumulation of dirt and de- bris over the walk. Now that the rain has come, this soil turns into mud under the feet of the passerby ahd spoils good shoe leather and tem-/ Ts. Nor is the lot owner alone to blame in many sectionS of the ¢ity, the street crossings have been neglected until the cement walk to allow pedes- trians to cross the muddy streets without spoiling their shoes has _ be- come covered with soil ranging from an inch to four inches. { The small amount of labor re- quired to clear the walks of this ac- cumulation is such that any house- holder can do so without trouble and in case no shovel is on the premises, probably the next door meighbor has one that he would gladly loan for the service. As to the city crossings, the council or street commissioner “will likely look after the matter, maybe. ps | WAR IN THE AIR. | A Dutch woman, returned from a} visit to Germany, reports: | “The impression I gathered from what I saw and heard in Germany was one of real despair. The Ger- man retrent makes the worst possi- | ble impression, especially the} Rhine. The idea that German soil) would be inviolate to the last has| completely disappeared, and on the | Rhine everybody expects sooner cr} later a foreign invasion. “The ravages made by the Allies’) aircraft are simply terrific.

The Casper Daily Tribune\CREDIT FOR SAVING PARIS GIVEN. TO ITALY IN SPECTACULAR FILM TO BE FEATURED AT IRIS TONIGHT “Ttaly’s Flaming Front,’” the spec- tacular official war film, showing the heroic work that has been performed by the soldiers of the sunny penin- sula in turning back the invasion of the Huns, brings to mind the de part that has been played by Italy in the war for triumph of democratic ideals. “At the outbreak of the war,” says BE. Alexander Powell, generally sidered the best informed wr Italian military affairs, “Italy tained a neutrality that was ex- tremely ‘benevolent to the Allies. Even those who consider themselves well informed have apparently failed to recognize how decisive z that neutrality wv ‘ promptly withdrawing her from the French border relieved the fears of France of an Italian and left her free to use the half r lion troops which had been guardir her southern frontier to oppose t {the world over. German advance on Paris. It is not overstating the facts to assert that, | had Italy’s attitude toward France been less frank and honest, had the} republic not felt safe in stripping its | southern border of troops, von Kluck would have broken thru to Paris—he; e perilously near doing so as it was—and the whole course of the) war would have been changed. It is, to be hoped that, when the diplo-| tr ¢ history of the war comes to be written, the attitude of Italy during those tritical days ‘will receive the} recognition which deserves.” The part Italy has played since her declaration of war on Austria en- tiles her to the respect and thanks of | he enemies of Teutonic autocracy The most graphic! comprehensive idea of Italy’s| powers j be gathered it to the Iris theater, where s aming Front” will be fea- tured tonight and Wednesday. ca Timi Mii mii tt DDEST RUSSIA Shaplen’s Personal Observations Where Soviets By JOSEPH (United Press Staff Correspondent.)

For that, all the Allies are now preparing with eager haste, and America most of all. Tho lamentably slow in starting, there can be no doubt that by next.summef oUF ton- tribution of planes and fliers will give our side overwhelming air su- periority. Our present plans, slowly coming to fruition, call for hundreds of squadrons operating continuously. | It is terrible, the work of these air squadrons. It will become more and} more terrible until the supréme mo- ment when Gerrmany, who sought to win and rulé the world by terror, is herself terrified into absolute) sub- mission. It is a dreadful but necessary task. We must stifle, for a time, the dic- tates of human merey, as the Ger- mans themselves have stifled it in their wanton attacks. We shall not laugh and shout at their suffering. as they have laughed and shouted when their Zeppelins and planes blew to°pieces the helpless women and children of England and France. But we shall not pity them. There can be no pity until the German nation has learned its lesson by paying the logi- cal penalty for its crimes against hu- manity, and is purified by the same fierce fires it lighted. ——-0 THE BIG CHEER When the last battle is fought and) won, there ought to be a cheer heard| yound the world.
