wedding to Miss Enid Agasslz,
daughter of the British vice-con-

The wedding, long planned, was
to have been celebrated in Ia

cense, and had brought the ring.
Then, mysteriously, his brother
Edgar dropped down upon Tacoma

And at the same time disappeared
the prospective bridegroom.
Both are sons of the -vice=pres-

brothers in Tacoma was abandon

All parties involved I'm the
mystery agree that the pair
are today on train speeding
across the continent to the
home Of the smelter king In
Orange, N. j.
The one question which has not
been answered is whether the
young man is being hurried across
the continent practically a pris-
oner of his brother, kidnapped, or
whether persuasion won him and
he gave up the girl of his choice.
British Vice-Consul C. K. Luz
clan Agassiz and his daughter were
confident Friday that Gerald is
being held in restraint.

NO PROGRESS

Tacoma police have found no
clews that would lead them to the

who has been trying to kidnap
Miss Margaret Fawcett, daughter
of Mayor Fawcett.

|HAIG DRIVES
WEDGE A MILE


LONDON, Nov. 10.--In stormy
weather, at dawn this morning.
Field Marshal Haig again set his
great attacking war machine In
motion for drive north and
northwest of Passchendaele.
Good progress, In the new
attack was reported by the Brit
ish commander.
The drive Is the second this
week which the British have d.
rected at the last remaining hold
by the enemy in the Passchendale.
The direct object of both Of
these thyusts Ia Westroosebeke
lying at the extremity of the high
ground and commanding the low
lands north to Roulers. Y
The previous drive this week
was across a comparatively re-
stricted area and swept the Cana
dams into Passchendaele.
The Germans failed to make =
single counter attack to this blow,
despite the fact that captured
Germans declared Hindenburg had
ordered the retaking Of Passchen-
daele at all costs.
With today's smash, Haig has
been boring ahead in the Ypres
sector since Sept. 81. This Is the
ninth general assault against the
enemy's lines. Every previous
blow has Leen powerful enough
to advance the British lines ma
terially---and this despite the fact
that the Crown Prince Rupprecht
massed his choicest Bavarian
troops to oppose the Tommies.
Reuters is the ultimate objec-
tive of the British onslaught. With
this city in British hands, one
Of the main lines Of German COM
munications to the coast subma-
rine bases Of Zeebrugge and Os-
tend would be severed. Roulefs
lies five miles beyond Passchen-
daele.

DRY SQUADS
OUT OF JOB

For the first time since the
prosecution of booze cases was
undertaken by the municipal au-
thoriifes, Tacoma's police depart
ment is without a dry squad.
Believing that the squad was
not accomplishing the desired re-
suits, Commissioner Petit this
week ordered all the members
back into their blue uniforms and
put them back on regular police
work.
1t is probable that an entirely
new dry squad win be organized
next week. Police Capt. Falcon
er, who made a brilliant record
while at the head of the booze
raiders, will probably be once
more given charge of the work.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1O.-Employers OF

make considerable increases in the wages OF all kinds
of workers during the coming winter, as part OF O.
general wage and salary adjustment that is slated to

There exception of course, in the case OF those
labor groups such the mine workers who have al

But leaving out of consideration those workers, a
