The Patriots, Sacrifice and Service
League has just been organized in Sc
attic under the auspices Of number OF
existing patriotic orders, including the
Sons and Daughters Of the American
Revolution. The purpose Of the new
league is to provide way in which the
loyal men. women and children Of
America-the staY-at-homes-may all
do something for the country in its
time OF need by doing without the little
luxuries and unnecessary things and
putting the money so saved in little
bags provided for that purpose, the
money then to go to the Red Cross,
War Orphans fund, or such other fund
connected with the war, as the con-
tributor may designate, or to apply on
the purchase of war bond. The pre-
liminary work OF the league has been
financed in Seattle by voluntary con-
tributions, and there are no fees or dues
to be paid for membership, nor are
there any salaries or headquarters ex-
penses to be taken care OF. Everything
Of this kind is donated. All that
members have to do is to sign the
Roll OF Patriots" procure bag, and
start in saving the little sums that
usually are spent without much thought.
The hope OF those who have started the
league is that good Americans every
where will become interested in the

Seattle. The state OF Washington
plans to educate the housewife in the
matter Of fake bargains. An educational
motion picture taken by the state de-
partment of weights and measures has
been prepared and will be shown
throughout the state under the auspices
Of the Office of Secretary Of State I. M.
Howell. Human interest is woven in
to the film and the picture story is told
of a couple of newly weds" who start
ed out to save money and who were
swindled by inscriptions dealers with
the aid OF crooked scales and measures.
Eight deputies from the Office OF Mr.
Howell will each be provided with a
set of films which will be shown in
every section Of the state. 1t is be-
lieved that this campaign will do much
to educate the housewife to understand
the crooked methods practiced by
many INSCRIPTIONS dealers.
The selection of President Henry
Suzzallo OF the State University to head
Washington States council for defense
has again brought to the attention of
the people OF Washington that in Suzz-
allo the State has a real leader. Al
though he has been in charge OF the
University but short time, he has
brought order out OF chaos and has this
institution OF learning on high plane.
With all OF his duties as President oil
the University he has found time to
devote to the leading civic movements
throughout the state. 1t was President
Suzzallo who was largely responsible for
the fact that Seattle raised close to a
half million for the Red Cross. He was
in real charge Of the committee of bust
ness men that solicited the funds and
all admit that it was Suzzallo's inspiring
words and work which filed them with
the enthusiasm which made it possible
for. Seattle to reach the half million Red
Cross goal.

Business interests throughout the
state are just now turning much Of
their attention towards seeing that labor
troubles are held to a minimum while
the country is passing through the
present war. Millions OF dollars for in
vestment are pouring into the state,
dozens OF new industries are being
started and more are sure to follow.
There will be work, and is today, for
every man who wants to work and the
wages are the highest ever paid in the
history OF the state. Still, there are
indications that labor agitators are seek
ing to create labor turmoil, largely for
the purpose Of Gripping the Govern
ments war plans. Close tab is being
kept on these agitators and it is in
dictated that the Government will at the
first outbreak take drastic steps to deal
with them.

Ihe action of Japan in Withdrawing largo

recognized by officials here as being a proh

pursuit Of her foreign trade ambitions
Trade experts Of the Government for sew
eraI years have been closely watching the
tendency of Japan to expand her foreign
trade In an effort to OutdO the United States
and Great Britain.
The Department Of Commerce and tbc
state Department have on file Conprebcu
Sive reports showing that the Japanese Gov
erhment Is actively encouraging her bus,-
ness ana shipping interests TO extend jap
aheSe trade influence over all territory
washed by the Pacific Ocean The new
development with respect 10 the withdraw
ais or gold from the United States is taken
To be an indication that the japanese have
Itacned point in their foreign trade cx-
panslon where they require a heavier gold
stock at home to serve as a basis for carr,-
ing on the increased overseas trade
Ihe Government knows that the lana nesc
nave been diligent i'm gathering up the
strlngs or trade in the Orient which Ger
many and England held before the war
ana Whlch were dropped or broken when
the German fleet and merchant marine were
swept from the seas and English vessels
We're Withdrawn from the Pacific trade
Ihe japanese have made rapid progress
and have established active and lucrative
trade relations with China, the Straits Set .
Elements, even India, South America and
also with the west coast Of Africa. The
Japanese also have been shipping heavy car
goes to this country during the war period
both for consumption here and for re-ex-
port TO Europe. They have utilized cargo
space IN the munition ships returning TO
the United states after carrying cargoes
TO Vladivostock.
Now that the attention of the United
states Is so largely taken up with the vgor-
Gus prosecution Of the war against Ge,
many, Japan is left virtually free to carry
on her foreign trade expansion. American,
overseas traders therefore are watching
JapaR's rise in the foreign trade world
with jealous eyes.
