FOR SERVICE

Along with the cry of prepar-

tional League of Woman's Serv-
ice of the state for all women of
Tacoma to register for SOME
branch of service or manual labor
at Gil Broadway. This league is
represented in Tacoma by Mrs.
Stuart Rice, state vice president,
who asks that all Tacoma women
visit the headquarters and offer
themselves.
Mrs. James A. Hays is the Taco
ma chairman of the league, and
will have charge of the headquar-
ters. She will help any woman
select branch of service, or will
register any one under general
work. of some kind. Registration
for the Tacoma chapter of the Red
Cross will also take place at the

Both German Names.
The most notable story of this

strange chance of fate, the name
of the most famous war woman
of the United States has a Teu-
tonic tang-Barbara Frietchie

dier-woman was born of German
parents.
In the time of the revolution,
Mollie Pitcher was the wife of
John Hays, barber, of whom 1t
is recorded that he changed 1.-The
peaceful occupation of cutting off
hair with shears to the more ex-
citing one of cutting off heads
with cannon balls"
Hays was a commissioned gun
ner in the Pennsylvania artillery
in the War of the Revolution and
his wife followed her husband s
fortune of war. Her notable serv-
ice to the Continental army was
at the battle of Monmouth in
June, 1878. This was the only
battle in which all of the 10 orig
inal states were represented at
one time. In every sense, Mol
lie Pitcher is national figure.
It was on a Sunday, the
hottest day Of the year, that
the American and English
troops came together.
Through the dust, heat and
smoke of the battle Mollie
Hays carried water to the
front ranks of the fighting
men as well as to the fallen.
She carried the water in a
pitcher, and thus earned the
name she wears i'm history.
Coming back to her husband s
gun, Mollie faced fierce charge
of the enemy, saw her husband
fall MORALLY wounded, and heard
an officers order, Wheel back

But for Mollie there was time
to avenge her husband and serve

of the day. On the morrow be-
fore 10000 weary but victorious
soldiers, Gen. Washington pre-
sented her with a commission of

(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 27.-Senators
and representatives began receiving
kilograms today from the Emergency
Peace Federation protesting against
granting to the president the author
ity he yesterday asked from congress.
It was announced here that a dele
cation headed by Jane Adams of Chi
cago would seek an audience tomor-
row with the president and the for
eign affairs committee of congress to
protest against steps being taken
which the announcement described
as Contemplated towards war be-
tween the United States and Ger
many"
The house foreign affairs cem-
mittee discussed the Flood bill for
hours in executive session. Objec-
tion was made to the blanket power
the republicans believe the wording
of the bill would give the president.
They indicated a willingness to vote
for the bill if the language were
changed to confine the president to
some definite plan.
An effort was made also to amend
the bill so as not to permit the arm
ing of merchant vessels carrying am
munition.
