YOU OWE IT
TO TACOMA

Saturday will be election day!
Perhaps you have already decided which of
the eleven candidates for the three school
board vacancies will in your opinion best
serve the interests of Tacoma children and
taxpayers.
Or possibly this pussyfooted election has
caught you unawares. If so, take little time
off today and make up your mind.
A school board election is an Important
thing. If you have children in the schools, it's
Importance is likely to be brought home to you
suddenly and often. If you have not you are
none the less charged with responsibility.
The men and women who are elected to the
school board will have general supervision of
the education of $4,000 Tacoma children, the
expenditure of 100000 a year, and an meal
culable influence on the generation that will
take up the work of the community and of the
world in few years.
If you fail to show interest enough in these
things to help in the selection of that board,
youare not as good citizen as you ought to be.
The list of polling places has been published

u. S. Army Ready to Strike at Villa
Troops Will Get Him
If Bandits Move
On Juarez
Omitted Pres. Leased wire.)


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. I.
Original orders to Gen. PERISH
ing to "get Villa" still stand, the
war office officially stated today.
Officials said, however, that
conditions are so altered since
Pershing's expedition started in
to Mexico that he would await
fresh orders from Washington be-
fore making any move.
On the other hand, If opportu-
nifty offered, he would strike a
quick blow at Villa.
Army men said this would
have to be a good opportunity,
such as possible establishment of
Villas headquarters in Juarez.
They added that IF Villa puts
his head into lions mouth, the
mouth will certainly shut"
Too Crafty?
Officials were inclined to be-
lieve that Villa was too crafty to
follow up his Chihuahua City sue
cess by starting toward Juarez,
which would take him only so or
so miles east of Pershing's forces.
1t is known that the Carran-
vista garrison at Juarez, however,
is uneasy over possibilities.
Mexican affairs were believed
to be behind plans for a confer
ence today between Secretary of
War Baker and the president.
Gen. Pershing has $4,000 regu-
lars concentrated at Ell Vale,
about 100 miles below the border,
while 100000 militia forces and
around 10000 regulars are pa
trolling the border.

PREDICTS WAR WITH VILLA
United Press Leased Wire.)


DENVER, Col, Dec. 1.-That
Villa will take JuareZ within a
week and that his capture of the
city will be the signal for war
between the U. S. and the bandit
leader, was the prediction made
today by Major A. II. Williams OF
the Colorado national guard, just
returned from the border.
THE U. s. military authorities
have prepared to attack Villa
when he captures JuareZ," said
Major Williams.
twenty-five thousand troops
are now massed at Ell Paso, ready
to cross the international bridge
when the bandit takes the border
city,"
Ready for Raid.
Mai. Williams declared that the
administration at Washington for
months has been cogniZant of the
growing strength of Villa in
Northern Mexico and that the con-
ccntration of troops at Eel Paso
has been in preparation for this
contingency.
IF Villa contemplates another
raid into the U. s., and that is
probable, it is likely Ell Paso
would be his objective. The mill
tary authorities evidently have
foreseen such a step and have
concentrated troops there for that
reason"

San Francisco is in the midst of a

According to reports from
Washington, Trenholme went d.
rectly to President Wilson with
contention that Williams and Ros-

Trenholme accuses both Off

the two officials has rendered
