]. T. GiIlies, Washington State
Fund lOOtef, Escapes From lail

Olympia, Wash.-J. F Gillies, twice
convicted of embezzling 500, 900 from
state industrial insurance funds while
employed as claim agent for the state,
Sunday night pried off two flimsy locks
with bolt as jimmy and escaped
from the Thurston county Jail. With
him went Henry Roberts, awaiting
transfer to the reformatory for stat
utory offense.
Prosecuting Attorney Yantis ordered
the arrest Of Mrs. Gillies on warrant
charging her with aiding the escape of
the prisoners. Mrs. Gillies was not
locked up, but was taken to the home
of policeman and placed in the care
of the officers wife.
1t is believed the prisoners boarded
a train bound for Portland.
An automobile is known to have left
town about midnight, and it is be-
lieved to have taken the two men to-
ward Canada. At late hour no trace
had been reported of either.
Shortly after dark Gillies and Rob
erts locked an old man held on minor
charge in his cell and pried their way
out.
+ Sheriff McCorkle was at Centralia
and James Fennell, County game war
den, who occasionally slept at the Jail,
was out of town.
By saving off the riveted end of the
bolt by which their cell would have
been locked, had that precaution been
taken, Gillies and Roberts slipped out
the bolt and then sawed the end of it
off on the bias to make chisel point,
by which they pried their way out.
Gillies evidently let himself from the
window to the ground Is feet below

I'm Sorry;I Was Wrong I

There may be virtue in the man
Who's always sure he's right,
Who'll never hear another's plan
And seeks no further light;
But like more the chap who sings
A somewhat different song.
Who says, when he has messed up
things:
I'm sorry; I was wrong"
It's hard for anyone to say
That failures due to him
That he lost his fight or way
Because his lights burned dim.
It takes a man aside to throw
The vanity that's strong,
Confessing: Twas my fault. I
q know;
I'm sorry; I was wrong"
And so, figure, those who use
This honest, manly phrase,
Hate 1t too much their way to lose
On many future days.
They'll keep the path and make the

Because they do not Ions
To have to say, when they're not

United States Has 100000
Men Eligible to Military Service

Washington, d. C.-The census bu-
reau, while unable to answer spceifical-
ly the question how many able-bodied
citizens of military age there are in the
United States, estimates that the total
number of male citizens and and those
who have declared their intention to
become citizens, who are 18 to 45
years old inclusive, is not far from 21,-
600, 900.
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease of approximately 10 per cent in
the population of the country since the
census of 1910. When that census
was taken the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens ls
years old and over but under 46 was
10. 1873, 900. OF this number, 14,857,-
900 were foreign-born whites who had
become naturalized or had declared
their intention of doing so, 2,052, 900
were negroes and 80, 900 were Indians.

KAISER WRITES TO PRESIDENT

Baltimore-The worlds first subms-
rine merchant vessel, the German un-
derwater liner Deutschland, anchored
below Baltimore Sunday night, after
voyaging safely across the Atlantic,
passing the allied blockading squad
rons and eluding enemy cruisers
watching for her off the American
coast.
She carried message from Emperor
William to President Wilson, guam
tity of mail estimated at 15o tons and
a cargo of 750 tons of costly chemicals
and dyestuffs, and is to carry back
home a similar amount Of nickel and
crude rubber sorely needed by the Ger
man army.
Sixteen days out from Bremerhaven
to Baltimore, the submarine reached
safety between the Virginia capes at
LAS o'clock Sunday morning, by a
heavy pail Of darkness which settled
over the entrance of the bay, with the
setting of tell-tale half moon.
Once inside, the visitor threw eau
tion aside and began shrieking his si-
rem signalling pilot and at the same
time attracting the attention Of the
tug Thomas F. Timmons, which had
been waiting in the lower bay for
nearly two weeks to greet the Deutsch-
land and convoy her into port.
Little was known here about what
happened during the epoch-making
cruise across the ocean, which in a
small measure at least breaks the
blockade on German trade with the
rest of the world. None of the sub
marines crew had landed and the
agents of her owners had received only
meager reports. Such information as
was available came directly from the
pilot and from Captain Hans F.
Hinsch, of the North German Lloyd
Liner Neckar, laid up here since the
of the war.
