CRASH INTO A
WATER WAGON

Instead of elm bling aboard the
water wagon Friday night, w. J.
Plouffe, a Tacoma chauffeur, and
Miss Kate Walters, a friend,
bumped into it.
The couple were on 10y ride"
according to police charges. The
machine was dashing down Pacific
avenue at 4:30 Saturday morning
when one of the city's big sprink-
ling carts hove into view.
There wasn't any chance to
get on the wagon" SO Plouffe
steered into 1t. The front of his
car was crushed In by the impact,
and Miss Walters sustained cuts
on the face, but the water wagon
continued placidly on its duty of
flushing off the streets.
Officer Osborne arrested PIonffe
on a charge of driving an auto
while intoxicated, and charged
Miss Walters with being intoxi-
Gated. Both pleaded not guilty ia
police court Saturday and Plouffe
announced that he would sue the
city for not keeping fits water
wagon out OF. his path. They will
be tried Tuesday.

EDITOR TACOMA TINES:
Mr.. Hoover apprehends danger
and justly, for 1t has already
been practiced in the North west
to animals, food, and crops from
acts of espionage and sabotage in
tended to reduce the efficiency of
the United States in war.
By whomsoever such acts are
committed, whether anarchistic. /.
w. W., or alien enemies, every
such attempt is an act of war
committed by person not in uni
form.
BY universally recognized in
ternational military law such an
act SO committed fixes the status
of the person so committed to an
act of war as a spy.
A spy is triable by court mar
tial and the penalty of guilt is
immediate and certain death.
In this state we have a law that
all accessories before and after
the fact are principals and can be
convicted as such. In the absence
of such a federal statue, the legal
maxim, "facit per alum, facit per
|se," can be- invoked.

ficers and teachers of the abom-
Unable doctrines of anarchy can be
reached. Suspend the operation

Russian Boy Of IL Wins Red Badge
of Courage By Saving a Soldiers
Life Under Fire That Wounds Him
Especial TO The Times)


PETROGRAD, Oct. 27.-Feo-
dur Kulich, Russian boy scout Of
"a, wears the Red Badge of Cour-
age.
q 1t is on his left sleeve, just
shove his wrist. He got 1t saving
Ivan Korovin, a Siberian soldier,
from death.
Feodur had lived near Kishinev.
And here, near the war frontier,
Te0dor was q member of a COM
pany of boy scouts which went
even up to the first lines to serve
the Russian army in recent fight
ing.
In the main the Russians held
their ground. But the line had
been weakened by the dispatch of
divisions northward to the terri
tory about Riga, and in spots it
gave.
Field Uttered.
At the close of several days Of
scattered fighting the Austrian
troops had been pushed back to
their old front. And in these con-
tested sectors, once more in the
hands Of the Russians, the battle
field was still Uttered with scat
tered dead and wounded.
The boy scouts were working
behind the new Russian first
lines. but still in the zone of the
bitter bombardment the checked
Austrians kept up.
Feodor Kulich found the Siber-
ian soldier Korovin in shell hole.
The soldier had dragged himself
into the crater for protection, aft
er receiving his wound.
He had been almost two days
without food or water.
Shot i'm Shoulder.
The 12-year-old boy made the
first trip to Korovin's side, under
heavy fire, when he was attracted
by the waving of the mans arm
over the rim of the shell crater.
Little Feodor, tho the firing had
hardly slackened, made a second
trip to Korovin's temporary shell
ter. bringing food and water and
bandages.
But even after the youngster
had cut away the filthy cloth and
swabbed away the clotted blood.
the wounded Siberian could not
walk. So Feodor started back for
help.
He was shot in the left Shout
der. But with his right hand the
boy pinched roll of bandage
tightly against the wound to pre-
vent bleeding and trudged back to
the field hospital.
There, after his shoulder had
been tied up, he insisted upon
guiding stretcher bearers to Ko-
rovin's side. He knew for the
wounded soldier it was a case of
early rescue or of death almost
within reach of safety in the re-
peated Austrian offensives.
And for a third time the boy
Eeodor, despite his wound, made
the trip from the safety of the
Held hospital behind the ridge

SPARKS FLY

of the unusual freaks caused by
Friday nights storm in Tacoma.
The tree, large fir, stands in
vacant lot near the center OF

its branches. The high wind of
Friday nights storm caused a

volt intensity to fall across the

zone of fire.
Feeders courageous example
inspired the troops of that front,
and news of it spread to district
headquarters and even to Petro-
grad. And Korovin, ready to re-
turn to the ranks, stood by the
side of 12-year-old Feodor while

on the wrist of the youngest

The boy obtained entrance to

Should the threatened tele-

property owner and home owner
take 1t upon himself to acquaint
himself with the location of the
nearest fire alarm box in his
neighborhood.
These boxes are on the street
and avenue intersections. On
keyless boxes you merely turn the
handle, open the door and pull the
knob all the way down; and on
key boxes break the glass in the

Some of the boxes you will find
