BY A. v. FAWCETT, MAYOR

Tacoma again approaches the
annual Christmas festival.
Interpretations of philosophy
may clash but all humanity unites
to glorify the golden rule Christ
taught and lived, and all the
world longs for the time when his
memorial of peace on Earth;
good will toward man" shall find
its perfect consummation.
ut is fitting, therefore, that all
should celebrate the Christmas
time and cultivate the law of love
he taught and lived SO splendidly.
my sentiments respond heart
lily to the suggestion Of Senator
Ralph Metcalf to revive in Tacoma
the beautiful Puritan custom of
placing a lighted candle in the
window Christmas night as sign
of welcome to the Christ spirit.
"Our city is apparently enter
ing upon q new era. Just in pro-
portion as we now forget the past
and live the Christ idea of all for
one and one for all will we climb
high upon the ladder of success.
''It Is a fitting time to dedicate
ourselves to common welfare and
the principles of unity and BROTH
erhood that made Christ's life

centuries.
"As mark of our apprecia-
ton of these principles and as a
pledge that we will henceforth try
to take our place and do our part
toward contamination of all
things that make for progress and
for general good, / call upon our
citizens of every creed and race
and shade of thought to place on
Christmas night a lighted candle
in the window of their home or
store or shop to typify the light
within our hearts and give us all
a part in honoring Christmas.

H-3 GOES
AGROUND
IN A FOG

UNITED Press Leased Wire.)
EUREKA, CAL, Dec. Ia
Within q short distance OF
the shore, the U. s. subma-
rine H-8 today was badly
damaged in the berakers OPP
posite Eureka, having been
rolled over at a heavy angle
by the seas.
After an alarm had been
sounded and the coast guard
crew In cutters had hurried
to the rescue, the submarine
signalled that all on board
wore safe.
The coast guard crew arranged
to bring a gun up the beach at
once and to shoot q line over the
diver.
Exactly what happened to the
submarine has not yet been ascer-
tanned.
The vessel was discovered in
distress shortly before 10 o'clock
this morning by little girl who
was walking on the shore.
A shoal runs out into the bay
at this point, with deep water on
either side.
Girl Reports Accident.
The girl reported the situation
to the Samoa offices of the Ham
mond Lumber Co. and the tug Re-
lief was started out.
simultaneously the submarine
tender Cheyenne wirelessed that
the vessel was in distress.
The Relief and the Cheyenne
are standing off shore away from
the spot where the submarine is
located.
A great crowd gathered to
watch the work of rescue.
At 11:40 fog, which had lifted
temporarily, dropped down again
and the submarine was lost to
view.
Damaged on River Bar.
The mother ship Cheyenne at l
o'clock made a daring attempt to
reach the submarine, but soon
withdrew to sea.
The submarines HI, H-2 and
HIS, with the U. 8. monitor Chey-
enne, stopped at Astoria Tuesday
while Commander Howe inspect
ed the port as possible naval
base.
While crossing the olumbia riv-
or bar, inbound, the HISS engines
were damaged.
1t was necessary for the Chey-
enne to tow the H-3 into the river.
The flotilla put out Tuesday
night.

JOHN PIERwsZA AND HIS WIFE
WERE in THE HANDS OF FATE.
AND THEIR STORY HAD A TRAGIC
ENDING.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-12-14

John and his wife were close together
with q clOseness that easier lives do not
know.
my wife know all what known" he
said on the witness stand yesterday, in
simple surprise at a question. "Sure
she know where the gun Is - she know
everything know. i buy one Of my lots
in my wife name-the one in Tacoma"
BUT WITH ALL THIS THEY WERE
NOT HAPPY.
THEY HAD NO CHILDREN.
John always knew what he wanted.
He knew when he cut loose from the old
country; he knew when he left New
York and came west; he knew when he
toiled and saved and bought his prop
erty. And what he wanted he had got,
mostly.
Bnt what he wanted most of any
thing In the world was children.
II wanted to have children In the
house to play with when l came home"
he said in answer to lawyers question.
He spoke with the quiet confidence Of
one who has no doubt that everybody
will understand. II was not conceivable
that anybody should not want children
most of all.
And no children came.
He and his wife were too close to-
gether not to irritate each other when
they were unhappy.
They quarreled. Their quarrels were
not restrained by social conventions.
When John felt like swearing at her,
he swore. She said he struck her. They
quarreled about big things and little
things; and always he had the unan-
swerable taunt-she gave him no chill
dren.
She threatened to kill herself. He
