HOME GUARDS May
AID WAR ON VICE!

The lumbermen's visit before
the council was for the purpose Of
asking better police protection.
THE vice situation in Tacoma
is not yet alarming" he explained.
But the time is rapidly coming
when 1t will be. Our army camp,
with its $4,000 men, is tre-
mendous magnet which Is pulling
undesirable men and women to
Tacoma by the hundreds. They
want to prey off the soldiers. 1t
Is up to this community to run
them out as fast as they come in,
and am satisfied that our present
department cannot handle the
pob."
McNeeley said taht he had al
ready made an investigation OF
the country surrounding the army
post, and found 1t surprisingly
free from vice.
Amusement proprietors at
American lake are doing their
best to cooperate with the au-
thorities in keeping undesirables
away, he said.

ton for other sources, including
the state department, concerning
LaEollette's statements and will
report at the December session.

rows OF steel helmets as far as the
eye could reach.
Addresses Officers
When the men had all passed,
Marshal Joffre made a brief adj
dress to the officers. Then he and
Pershing, with Generals Sibert,
Bundy and Others. entered auto
mobiles.
They were whisked away for
miles thru a score of hamlets
where women, children and old
men thronged the road sides to
cheer the miracle man of 1914
and the great soldiers of the Unit
ed States, their newest allies.
In a fanfare of French bugles,
blended with the band of another
American contingent. the Sammies
welcomed the distinguished party
to q small town, where they dined
In the mess room of the accred.ted
newspaper correspondents.
Joffre later received the cor
respondents and expressed his
pleasure and satisfaction at the
opportunity of seeing the Ameri-
cans.
Departs Today.
In the afternoon Joffre and
Pershing, in binding hail and
rainstorm, walked over the slip
perry, muddy field, inspecting q big
American officers training center.
In the evening, returning to
Gen. Pershing's headquarters, the
party was greeted by the same In
spring scenes that must have
moved them on the trip out.
Sammits and poilus everywhere
formed SO lid walls of khaki and
faded field gray. Their bayonets
cleaned and their bugles glinted
In the expiring sunlight as Joffre
and PershiAg passed thru again.
Joffre spent his second night
as Pershing's guest at headquar-
tiers and departed early today

lice during the coming winter.
f. j. McNeeley, prominent Ia
coma lumberman, appeared before
the city council Tuesday repre-
senting the Council Council OF
Eefense, and suggested that the
home guards might be asked to
help suppress and prevent vice
from spreading here.
Mayer Fawcett replied that the
city would be glad to swear In
so or 100 home guards as special
police.
McNeeley explained to the coun-
ell that altho he was a member OF
the Tacoma Home Guard and
chairman OF the sanitation and
morals committee of teh defense
council, he was not authorized to
volunteer the services of the
former organization, but that he
believed the guards would be glad

He asserted that for a commit

to the senator himself and the

La Toilette kept the committee

l'earance and tried to look uncon-

.0nly|0ne Man inEvery!1: y
Thirty Killed in Battle

Boston, July 30-Roger Babson, the
statistician, has gathered the following
figures from close study of war casu.
allies:
Fourteen men of every Is have been
safe so far.
Under present conditions, where
man power is being conserved, no
more than one in 80 is killed.
Only one man in 500 loses a limb
chance no greater than in hazardous
conditions at home.
Mr.. BabsOn's conclusions are based
on the martality figures of the French
army for the full three years of war,
and attention is called to the fact that
present fighting is not resulting in
anywhere near the number of deaths
recorded for the first two years. He
says:
Most Of the wounds sustained in
the trenches are clean cut and is such
nature that few weeks in the hos
pltal makes the subject as fit as ever.
Only 100000 French soldiers have
been discharged because of wounds
during the three years of the war.
In fighting in the trenches most of
the wounds are in the top of the head,
simply scalp wounds. Practically
speaking, a wound is either fatal or
slight, with but few in between these
two extremes.

Entire National Guard
in Federal Service

Washington, July 25.-The entire ma,
tional guard of the country, with the
exception of troops from California
and the southwestern states, was in
federal service tonight under Presi.
dent Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought
in Aug. 5, on which date the whole
force of probably 100000 will be draft
ed into the federal army From that
day on the state troops can be used
for any duty the president may direct,
and will be subject to no limitations
that do not also apply to the regular
army.
The first increment of the guard was
called out ten days ago. Those called
today in the second increment en-
brace New England, middle western
and northwestern states and several
southern states. Probably more than
100000 men went on the federal pay
roll.
With liberalization of the entire
force complete after Aug. S, the ranks
Of all regiments will then be filled up
to full war strength with men from the
selective draft lists.
There have been many things to in
dicate that guard regiments which
are now fairly we'll equipped and
which had the benefit of the border
mobilization, will not be held long at
the divisional training camps. If
transportation is available, the best
of the state troops may be hurried to
France at once, stopping only for final
Quitting before they sail. The in
tensive instruction to fit them for
trench warfare will be given at the
American training camps in France.

No Fatalities in Lisbon
Is Latest Reports

Lisbon, July 30.-The condition of
Robert Fahlsing, nine year old boy,
caught under timbers of barn blown
down by the storm that swept a dis
trict ten miles wide and twice as long
here Sunday afternoon, wrecking
barns, killing stock and injuring crops,
still remains serious, although ply
sicians hope that he may recover with
out the loss of his leg.
The boy is the son Of Fred Fahlsing,
living three miles northeast of here.
His leg was pinned beneath timbers
which had to be sawed in two before
he could be released. He was taken to
the Lisbon hospital. The boys father
and two brothers were bruised about
the arms and legs at the same time.
Hail Followed Wind
Hail following the wind in some sec.
tons caused much damage to crops,
riddled roofs and broke windows.
The storm, which was one of the
worst that ever visited Ransom coun-
ty, broke about six o'clock Sunday
evening, coming with a high wind that
blew down buildings and uprooted
trees in its path. Fifty large barns, it
is estimated today, were ruined by be.
ing blown down or twisted and moved
from their foundations. Numerous
smaller buildings, including some
houses, suffered from the storm. Many
automobiles were crushed when the
buildings in which they were kept
were demolished.
Has Narrow Escape
Alvin Miller, living eight miles east
Of Lisbon, had a narrow escape from
serious injury or death when the barn
on his farm was crushed. Miller was
milking a COW in the barn when the
sides and top were blown in. He was
badly bruised on the head and legs,
but not seriously. The COW he was
milking and nearly all the other stock
in the barn were killed. His house
was blown from it's foundations and
the top removed.
Leo Cincira, east of Lisbon, was
bruised about the body by flying tim
bers.
Several Severely Injured
The Monarch elevator was thrown
over on its side by the wind, while
the Thompson lumber yards and the
Parker warehouse had roofs and win
dows blown away Several barns in
Lisbon were also ruined.
Christ Schorn, of Lisbon was bruis
ed about the face when struck by a
flying pane of glass. He was stand
, ing at the window in his home look
,, ing out at the storm when the wind
| blew in the glass.
Mrs. Claude Eastman was cut on
the arms in trying to keep a window
sash from being blown in by the wind
.. Five stitches were required to close
the wound.
