SURE, FLYNN
Editor The Times:

Editor The Times:
AS a business man and a citi-
zen of Tacoma | would like to say
few words. Not about the
Speedway, but just brief state
ment regarding our loyal citizens
who are patronizing this So
called DR.. Flynn.
Our citizens are flocking there
every night to hear his funny re-
marks and to buy bottle of his
renowned hair restorer at $1.50
per bottle-which does not cost
him more than nine cents.
Yet / don't believe he pays any
city license. Just the same, our
dear citizens flock there every
night instead of patronizing some
of our own merchants. Taik
about cheap people. We have
them right here in Tacoma. Why
not tax him the same as a circus?
Yes, / should say Tacoma IS a
cheap town.
A MERCHANT.

piece signed by "A Working

He states that President Allyn

on the Speedway, but he did hire
"Dagoes" at S1.60 per day.

ingman who he considers the so
called Dagoes. II seems as

Note TO Austria ReiterQteS
Demand That Reparation Be
Made for Sinking of Ancona

government of the United States
feels justified in holding that the
details of the sinking of the Anco-
ma, the weight and character of the
additional testimony corroborat1ng
the admiralty's report, and the num-
Der of Americans killed or injured
are in no way essential matters of
discussion. The culpability of the
commander is in any case estab-
lished, and the undisputed fact Is
that citizens of the United States
were killed, injured or put in jeo-
pardy by his lawless act.
'The rules of international law
and the principles of humanity
which were thus willfully violated
by the commander of the submarine
have been so long and so universal
ly recognized and are SO manifest
from the standpoint of right and
justice that the government of the
United States does not feel called
upon to debate them and does not
understand that the imperial and
royal government questions or dis
putes them.
THE government of the United
States, therefore, finds no other
course open to it but to hold the i'm
perial and royal government respon-
sible for the act of its naval COM
mander and to renew the definite
but reSpectIul demands made In It's
communication of the 9Th of Decem-
ber, 1915. 1t sincerely hopes that
the foregoing statement of it's posi-
tion will enable the imperial and
royal government to perceive the
justice of those demands and to
comply with them in the same spirit
of frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations
now existing between the United
States and Austria Hungary which
prompted the government of the
United States to make them.
