SKATER

COLUMN

LONDON, March 16. = The
French Communique today denies
the German claims that Silesian
troops have extended their lines
to Deadman Hill.
Murderous French fire cut to
pieces two German regiments at
tempting to encircle Bethincourt
and halted the offensive west OF
the Meuse, dispatches claimed.
The French took the offensive
in a series or skirmishes at Vaux.
The German assault west of the
Mouse evidently was planned with
great care.
Following a terrific lombard
ment the Germans charged
through three separate lanes
which their bombardment open
ed. A hundred yards separated
the successive waves of Germans.
French artillery shattered two
of the columns. Paris admitted the
third column captured two sa-
lients, about 200 yards. This ter
ritory was recaptured in counter
attacks.

FRENCH
VESSEL
TARGET

AMSTERDAM, March 10.
Three hours after a ter
rifle explosion amidships, the
Royal Dutch Lloyd finer Tu-
bantia sank i'm the North Sea,
il was reported today.
She carried 81 passengers and
a crew of 900. All were reported
to have been saved. @
The company's offices said the
Tubantia probably hit mine,
though the captain thought per-
haps she had been torpedoed.
The explosion occurred at mid
night, II hours after the liner
sailed from Amsterdam. A huge
hole was ripped in her stern.
Wireless calls for help were i'm
mediately flashed. Passengers
and crew abandoned the vessel.
Only the fact that the Tu-
bantia was near land is be.
Iieved to have prevented cas-.
ualties. 1t is possible a few
sailors persisted.
Two life boats reached the
lightship at II this morning.
Dutch torpedo boats picked UP
others.
The Tubantia is vessel OF
900 tons, engaged in the South
American service.

differ from them.
We have sent them quantities
of adventures VINO have gone
there to SHOW them how to do
things"
But in thousand ways Ameri-
can methods Of business are ILL
adapted to Mexican surroundings,
and the attempt to force them
upon the country is pure folly.
The Mexicans hate us because
we have deprived them of terri
tory. The loss of Texas was Sc
rious blow, and they have always
ascribed 1t to us. We took from
them more than HALF their ter
ritOry as result of the unjust
war of 1947.
AS a fact, we wanted land
and we TOOK it! Mexico has
not forgotten-she will not for
get-that act.
But undoubtedly the chief rea-
son why the Mexicans today hate
us so heartily is that THEY
FEEL WE ARE EXPLOITING
THEM AND THEIR COUNTRY.
Everywhere they find Ameri-
can capital owning their sources
of wealth. Blindly, they feel that
they have been defrauded.
1t has been SO easy for such
Americans as William Randolph
Hearst, Harrison Gray Otis, e
II. Hartman, the Rockefellers
the Guggenheims and others
each to have obtained possession
OF millions of Mexican acres"
The Mexicans know they have
been robbed. But they also know
that We Americans will fight II
need be for our so-called rights. -
So they feel the helplessnessi OF
1t all, and in that helplessness
their hatred takes deeper and
deeper root!

IT'S fine
FOR THE
GAMERS

Police officers are taking
no action today following
Tile Times expose yesterday
of open gambling at the A.
Il B. Smoke House.
Police Capt. Read, who
was in charge of the depart
ment, In the absence Of Chief
Smith, was unwilling to dis
cuss the gambling situation,
but declared he had no doubt
there were games running I'm
Tacoma.
1T is just as impossible to
prevent gambling in city Of this
size as it is to stop prostitutes
from plying their trade" said
Capt. Read.
1.-THE police have no way to OBJ
tain evidence. We have no stool
nigeons' to do this work for us.
A, detective cannot possibly get
into a gambling room without the
knowledge of the operators, be-
cause the gamblers make ii their
business to know all officers.
- THE courts rule that you must
grove beyond a doubt that money
passes from one person to an
otbeis or you have not sufficient
eviden&e to obtain a conviction
in "a gambling case. So you see
wlfatsthe police are up against.
II tdon't believe there Is any
open gambling in Tacoma. There
may be private games, but there
are no games where any outsider
can walk in and put down his
money. The gamblers are too
shrewd to take any chances"
County "ToO Busy"
THE prosecuting attorneys Of
fife can't be expected to police

optors Remain today, discussing
the evidence of wide-open gamb-
fling In the city.
IF we had the funds and
means to do 1t, we should run
the gamblers out of the city. But
as II is now, the work of enforc-
ing the prohibition law requires
all the funds and men available. =

office more than 5000 a week to
enforce the dry law.

While carrying 20 Americans

the Fabre liner Patria, u

A torpedo fired by the sub.

Capt. Dechelles, of the Patria

Here is what he has to say
about our dash across the bor-
der:
1--WE Americans are inclined tC
consider 'greasers' as treacherous
towards. In that we make a mis-
take.
"The Mexicans have a sort of
courage that Anglo-Saxons do not
know-a Latin courage that leads
them to throw themselves in the
face of forlorn hopes.
~ have seen barefOoted !,
poems walk up the street to
the wall of n corral SUR
mounted by five machine
guns pumping forth steady
stream of bullets, and those !.
poems were unarmed except !
for sticks OF dynamite sewed !
up in cOwskins which they
threw by hand over the corr {
raj wall. :
"FOur times they did this
until they had succeeded i'm
blowing the defenders to =
pieces.
For us fighting in Mexico is
largely a question of opposing
guerilla fighters, ineffective in
the field, but extremely annoying
to an army.
1.-The existence of small posts
would be endangered by mobile
forces of mounted poems, all good
shots, able to move quickly,
knowing the country intimately
and capable Of eluding pursit in
trackless mountains.
ut is to be no joke, this raid
into Mexico. II means the hard
est possible kind of warfare!"

They probably will be used to
protect the border communities.
The call may come before the
end of the week.
Municipal officials in Arizona
and New Mexico are sending fran

risings of local Mexicans. The
governors must first ask federal
protection.

g Of the 20 candidates for city commission
er whose names will go OH the primary bal
lot f. H. Petit stands as one who certainly
should be elected.
He is the biggest caibred man in the race.
q He is first class business man; Tacoma
knows him as such.
He believes our government is costing us
too much, and he has some concrete plans for
helping make it cost less.
He doesn't talk vaguely about ECONOMY
and efficiency and leave you to guess how
he is going to attain them; he tells Just how
he plans to go about ecOnomiZing and eff
ciency-inducing. We will go into consider
able detail in later articles on his plans in
this regard.
He has sincere high minded ideal of
public service. He will nstill the police de-
partment with the policy of constructive,
preventive, upbuilding work, rather than
the mere arresting of law-viOlaters, real and
alleged.
q He is clean. Nobody who lived in Tacoma
during the part of a term he served as pub
lie safety commissioner could doubt that.
Yet he is no fanatic. His practical eXpe-
rience as head Of the police department
would have shown him the mistake of mar
rOwmindedness, if he had needed showing.
In formal statement he remarks II do
not expect to indulge in any grandstand or
fanatical schemes of regeneration, but do
expect to take a firm, consistent and contin-
uous stand for better, cleaner, more sober
and more prosperous Tacoma"
If that hasn't the ring of good sense, we
don't know good sense when we we see it.
