"A comparatively small num-
Der of the designs received show

per cent marked originality of de-
sign. 1t was interesting to me to
note that the cities took kindly
to the idea of trousers for women
but the small otwns and country
districts would not countenance
the idea. Ten per cent of de-
signs from cities of 100000 or
more show some form of trousers

BRITISH DESER1FER I'm TACOMA
WOODS
BUILDS
SEWER

Frightened at the implied
threat of the United tates gov
eminent that the port of Tacoma
might be closed to ocean traffic
unless the city's sewage system
was rearranged, Commissioner
Owen Woods took hasty steps to-
day to comply with federal de-
mands.
Hope was expressed at the city
hall that the city would be able
to eliminate the Objectionable
features of the present sewage
system in time to prevent any
hasty action on the part of the
government.
Commissioner Woods sent a
crew of workmen today to the
18th street mouth of the central
sanitary sewer. Piles were driven,
and work was begun preparatory
to lowering the sewer.
During the latter part of June,
when the lowest tides of the year
are due, the big sewer will be ex-
tended to the center of the city
waterway, along the bottom of
the water.
1t is expected that in this man
ner, by emptying the sewage in
deep water away from the docks,
the insistent complaints of the
government regarding unsanitary
condition will be satisfied.
Assistant Surgeon General w.
G. Ruther has sent a letter to the
city council, asking for an inter-
view at 10 O'Clock Thursday
morning. BY the time DR.. Ruther
arrives, work will have been half
finished on the new sewer job,
and it is confidently expected by
the city that the government will
withhold further action until it
learns exactly what the result of
the temporary improvement will
be.
IF the government makes us
build sewer tunnel from 18th
street to deep water outside the
channel, it will cost half-million
dollars" wsaid Commissioner
Woods today. II think maybe we
can satisfy the government by ex-
tending the 18th street sewer into
deep water in the middle of the
channel.
The government complains that
sewage from the 18th street sewer
floats on the surface of the chan-
mel waters, forming an easy breed
ing place for disease. Port Sur
geon F. j. Schug, under direction
of higher officials, has threatened
to close the port unless the dan
| ger is removed - ------..-.s.s

Chief McAlevy will notify the

UNCLE SAM Is FIRM;
SENDS ANOTHER NOTE

WASHINGTON, d. c., June D..
President. Wilson second note to
the kaiser, insisting firmly that
Germany respect to the full its
International rights, will he dis
patched to Berlin tonight.
The final draft OF the rejoinder
today was approved by the presi-
dent, and sent to the department
to be coded.
Officials of the cabinet praised
the note highly as forceful and
statesmanlike document, both
clarifying and emphasizing the
position of the UNITED States.
Not only is the right of Ameri-
cans to travel by sea insisted
upon, but the responsibility for a
break, IL one comes, Is placed
squarely on Germany. AS soon
as the note was completed, the
president motored to the goli
links.

that some action would have to be
taken at once to prevent catas-

RATHER

COWARD
BY A. j. ELDRED.


He was a deserter from the
British army, and not a bit
ashamed of 1t.
A young fellow-perhaps 10 or
20 years old-with fuzz on his
cheeks and chin, he came in to
The Times office today to ask for
. job.
He's in this country for good
now, and hasn't desire in the
world to get back to the conti-
nent where there are bullets in
mid-air, mines underground, and
aeroplanes above-not to men-
tion shooting shrapnel fragments
and poisonous gases.
I'D a good deal rather be a
live coward than dead hero,'
he quoted.
This is the reason why he has
slowed himself away on the
. steamer Calchas from London and
had arrived in San Francisco; and
from San Francisco had made HIS

said the first man Tacoma has
seen who knows battle as it is on
the European firing line, what
the fighting means.
I'VE left England singing Tip
Z perary and with bands playing.
\ We thought we'd just rush the
Germans back to the Rhine.
"Well--the last battle | was
in was the British retreat from
Nous. From midnight until 2
a. m. we countercharged the adj
vancing Germans. There were
$4,000 men when we charged;
1000 came out.
"The censor said in the Off
cial dispatches that 200 had been
killed"
He-he'll give no name, for
he's afraid yet that the long mill
tary arm of England may reach
him-had shrapnel wound on
his forehead, and his left arm was
broken in two places.
That meant hospital leave in
London.
AS quick as he had recovered,
he was to enter service again. A
transport was ready to take him
to France, with other wounded.
Instead he slowed away on the
.Calchas.
And here's where more treason
began. The captain took his uni
form, tied a stone to it, and drop

service revolver for a souvenir.
And he. put him to work as a

he didn't blame him a bloomin

"Of course, the censors and the

back from the front, and the
stories they tell don't help enlist.
