Ancient Oriuin Of Military Salute.

When did the military salute come
into use? 1t certainly dates from the
earlier half of the fifteenth century,
says the st. James Gazette. In the
"Speculum Humane Salvationis,"
which was issued before the invention
of printing by movable types, there is
an exceedingly quaint illustration in
which Abraham is represented as sa.
lut1ng MeIrhiSedec. The patriarch is
in medieval armor and apparently on
guard, and it would seem that Mel
chisedec is bringing him refreshments
of water. and the salute Is distinctly
the military one still in use.

When asked as to the possibilities
of his again seeking reelection, VIM.
McCuaig, mayor, today said that he
had not definitely made up his mind,
although he expected to again enter
the race. Several other men have
been mentioned as likely candidates
and two or more are almost certain
to be aspirants for the office.
Murphy Leaves City. >@>'
R. F. Murphy, for the past two
years alderman-at-largean and pres:
ident of the council, has taken up
his residence in St. Paul and will not
ask to be returned. This office is a
most important one and already there
are mentioned several candidates.
Joseph Bisiar, for many years alder
man of the third ward, who resigned
recently because of his moving to
another ward, may enter the race and
another often heard spoken of and
who is being urged to make the, fight
is James Black -.
Four for Council. -
John Moberg, in the first ward,
Sherm Bailey in the second ward, J.
M. Phillippi, in the third ward, pres
ent aldermen, are expected to seek
returns to the council. Alderman
Dirty, the fourth ward representa-
tive, will not be candidate, and
Joe Anderson, the Mill Park mer-
chant, may be induced to become a
candidate. &.
Assessor to Remain on Job.
For assessor the voters will again
have an opportunity to elect Thomas
Lloyd, the Great Northern Express
company agent. Mr.. Lloyd has held
the position during the past several
years, and his work has always been
thorough. He has been much prais-
ed for the efficient manner in which
he handled the difficult problems
growing out of the tax changes. I'm
less from the Socialists, who are ex-
pected to again place complete
ticket in the field, Mr.. Lloyd will
probably have no opposition. IS

PIERCE COUNTY And
SCHOOL BOARD BOTH
FLYNN-FLAm VICTIMS

Simplest of all the victims OF
Earl w. (flynn-flam) Flynn are
the municipality Of Tacoma, the
county of Pierce and the school
district.
For the politicians who operate
in these three separate public
units have permitted Flynn.
To get away without pay
ing any tax or license under
the city ordinance for ped
dlers.
To get away without pay
ing any tax under the itin-
erary merchant law.
To have the use of the
school board grounds OPP
posite the court house with
out rent or charge, except q
trivial percentage of the adj
missions at the gate.
For the first Of these omis-
sions, the city is responsible; for
the second, the county assessor
of Pierce county, through Deputy
Glenn Meade; for the third, the
school board of the Tacoma dis
trict.
Explaining the delinquency of
the school board, Secretary, Lister
said today that the board had re-
garded the lectures as "educa,
tional," not commercial; and that
as they understood the Perkins
Press were back of the scheme
with coupon admissions, they had
insisted only on 10 per cent OF
his cash receipts, without any
check on what these admission
fees we're!
No Wonder He Hem'd!
Meade had even a harder time
explaining his delinquency, for ].
r. Anderson, personal tax man In
the county treasurer's office, re-
ported to him several days age
that Flynn had sold 400 books
at $40 each, as we'll as his hair
dope and manicure sets, which
come into competition with local
merchants. -i.
Today, Meade hem-ed and haw-
ed, and said he had been. too busy
to look into. the matter. Other
deputies in the office were very
doubtful II Flynn came under the
itinerant merchant law and we're
disposed to give him the benefit
of the doubt, rather than protect
the county's interests.
To this doubt. Anderson says:
"He has sold $4,000 of books,
many manicure sets, barrels OF
hair-dope. The sale OF any one
of these articles would make him
an itinerant merchant.
Goes Tonight.
There's not the slightest ques'
ton about It."
Anderson was also puzzled Al
how city officioIs had been abb

u. S. JOLTS
KAISER WITH
SHARP NOTE

As to Germany's claim that her
acts have been merely retaliatory,
because of England's blockade
Of starvation" Secretary Lansing
answered that no country had a
right to take the law in it's own
hands, and cause damage to neu-
trails and friends thereby.
1.-THE very argument that
an act is merely retaliatOry Is
i'm itself an admission that IL
is Illegal" said Lansing.
ENGLAND MUST BE GOOD
Germany's request that Eng
lands alleged violation of free
dom of the seas be also consid-
cred, Lansing answered was i'm
possible, because this country
manifestly could not discuss its
affairs with England with a third
party.
However, later in the note,
a way was found to promise
Germany that England also
would have to he good by the
statement, 1.-THE United States
will contend for the freedom
of the seas, from whatever
quarter violated, without
compromise and at any cost"
The Germany suggestion that
certain u. s. vessels be designat-
ed to carry passengers, and that
they do not carry ammunition,
Lansing answered was unsatis-
factory because it was a "curtail-
ment, and hence an abandonment
of the principles for which this
government contends"
DELIBERATELY UNFRIENDLY
Then comes the conclusion that
this government intends to con-
tend to the full for the principle
of the freedom of the seas; that
1t expects Germany at once to dis
avow the sinking of the Lusitania
and to give an assurance tina,
such an act will not happen
again; and with the solemn warn
ing that If such an act should
happen, the United States would
be constrained to regard It as a
deliberately unfriendly act"

who is convalescing from his OPP
GRAFTON at the county hospital,
more than all the money sub
scribed for his aid.
Edith Claire Williams, a pretty
blue-eyed five-year-old girl OF
1882 East @ ST., brought to The
Times office a great bunch OF
sweet peas and baby breath for
Larry.
Humane officer Van voris de-
livered the flowers yesterday aft
ernoon. and the cripple 10y actu-
ally wept over them. His delight
in the simple offering was almost
pathetic.
Mr.. Van Voris announced today
that the committee named by
Mayor Fawcett to spend the SUBJ
scription money for the cripple
would get together early next
week. II possible, to decide just
what to do with the money.
In the meantime other sub
scriptions are acceptable. They
may be made to Mayor Fawcett or
to The Times.
