David Lloyd George, Britain's new minister
Of munitions is recruiting another army, not ON
paper, but actually; enlisting them for regular
service for the duration of the war, to work III
stead of to fight.
This army will be commanded by officers Of
different rank, just as are the troops at the
front, and will be subject to orders to go wher-
ever they are wanted.
1t will be divided into different commands,

feel better for having gotten this
little spiel out OF your system. II
all you say i'm regard to women
and girls is true, why do men
keep replacing their men EN-
pioyes' positions with women?
Every year you will find this
occurring. When a number Of
employers have been questioned
in regard to this, they have re-
piled that women employees have
more patience and can be relied
upon to a greater extent than
men. The business world is cold,
exacting, unsympathetic; it is no
respecter of persons.
l don't exactly know what your
idea of n well-regulated home is;
but ] suspect I have had occasion
to peer into about as many Of them

regulated home is where husband
and wife meet each other half

as well as l do that there is a
reason for IL. Did IL ever occur
to you thst there are two sides
to every story? How about IL
when friend husband comes home
in the evening, acknowledges his
wife's greeting with grunt, hur-
ries through his dinner and buries
his head In a newspaper, or goes
off to join the fellows? And when
things have gone wrong at his
work, why should he come home
and take his spite out on his
family? Did you ever see girl

The purpose is to enter upon systematic
plan of producing munitions and war supplies
in immense quantities. and rapidly.
If England and her allies win the war, it will
be largely due to this new army. The woeful lack
of ammunition and guns by the allied forces is
becoming more apparent each day.
Russia's decisive defeat in Galicia is probably
due to that more than to anything else.

THERE ISN'T EUPHONIOUS
SPELLING IN OPERA OF 'SARI'

1t is spelled "Sari." 1t Is pro-
nounced Shar-ee or Shar-ey, with
neither syllable accented. This
information may make 1t some
what easier for the young gentle
men in the box office at the Taco
ma theater who are kept busy
telling enquirers how to pro-
nounce the name of the operatta
that is coming to the Tacoma the
alter Friday night.
But there is more than the
name of the piece to tangle the
tongues of the uniformed. For
instance there is the name Mizzi
Hajos. Miss Hajos plays the part
of Sari. If one were to address
her properly they would call her
Nifty Hy-os. One of the charac-
tiers of the play is Pail RACE. In
English that Is pronounced plain
Polly Rats. He has a son Laczi.
AS spoken his name is Lat-sy.
Furthermore there is that dance

pronounced "Hot-zot-za."

About 1880 last Sunday morning
our citizens were awakened from their
slumbers by the violent ringing of the
fire bell, the fire alarm system having
been found to be out of commission
again.
The central telephone served as b
general information bureau and in
formed drowsy inquirers that the fire
WAS at the nickel dance hall on Cooper
avenue, properly known as the York
Dancing academy.
The fire was started in the big cleo
trie combination piano and although
the fire laddies responded promptly
before the flames could be extinguishe1
the instrument was completely ruined,
the inner workings being entirely con-
sumed and the outer case charred aud
burned SO as to render it worthless
A dance had been in progress in the
hall until almost 12 o'clock and when
the place was closed Mr.. and Mrs
NelIlck went down toward SeVenLh
street to get some supper
Soon afterwards the fire was discov-
cred and when several attempts to use
the electric fire alarm system failed
resort was had to the old fire or cu--
few bell.
While there was report on the
street that the electric motor operating
the piano had been left running ana
that it ran hot and started the blaze,
and another report that the fire re-
suited from a short circuit, messrs.
King and Weirick, proprietors of tine
place say there is absolutely no truth
in either of these reports, but that they
are convinced that the fire was of
incendiary origin.
The piano was valued at $1,000 and
WAS insured for $500 by the Home
Insurance company, a mutual concern
whose stockholders are local people.
The building which is owned by the
Hammerich estate was but slightly
damaged.
