Soldiers To
Learn French

Glasses in French for officers
and men will begin at the Camp
Lewis Y. M. c. A. Tuesday even
ing. The association has secured
Nine. A. lac. Nicolle, of Tacoma,
as teacher, and the lessons will be
free to the soldiers.
Nine. Nicolle was born In Con-
stantinople. and lived afterward
In japan and Paris. She used no
other language than French until
after she was grown up.
Glasses of all degrees of ad-
vancement will be formed, from
those few officers who have stu
died French but need q practical
knowledge, of military terms, to
those for men who want to know
how to pass the time of day with
their French comrades when they

Another War Idea

A writer in Popular Science has, at one 'swoop,
solved the problems Of breaking Hindenburg
lines and conservation Of human lives. 1t is to
have the aforesaid lines attacked by machines
only, thus:
Take thousand or so cheap automobiles load
them with 10O0-lb torpedoes, set them going at
the lines full speed and explode the torpedoes by
wire control, when the trenches, barbed wire or
other defenses are reached. Among the special
advantages claimed are that the fighting men
can ride up from the rear in the machines, thus
conserving transportation; that nearly worn
out autos can be used and that auto and torpedo
together would cost less than fifth the cost of
an ordinary sea torpedo.
Safety, cheapness and sure way to dispose of
your old flivver! 1t seems to be one Of the real
bright ideas springing out of this war.
The veteran Germans are said to be unable to
stand under terror of the British "tanks." It
sure would be stone blind veteran who would
stand charge by thousand wild flivvers, some
of em second hand.

every national crisis. In the
colonial days, when the fate.
the future rested upon the grit
and endurance and intelligence
of our pioneer ancestors it was
the women who upheld the
faith and courage of the men.
They stood by their sides and
showed equally with them the
dangers and trials and the
hardships of those pregnant
days, and in order that the men
might have the full help and
cooperation of the women he
placed the musket in her hands
for he realized that he must
give her every means at his
command, that she might as
sist him in defending and pre-
serving the home. He knew
that she would handle it eff
ciently and heroically and we
know how fully she justified
his faith in her.
Now again we are come upon
fC
today upon the frontier of
new social world1a new de-
mocracy-faced with new and
menacing problems. With tasks
and duties untried and I'M
precedented, and upon the
proper performance Of which
depends the fate of our repub-
lilo.
And would we succeed in our
warfare against the evils. We
must have the women. We
need the help of the women
even as our forefathers had the
help of the women In the trou-
bled days. And even as they
gave her the musket the final
and most efficient weapon at
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-09-22

their command, so today we
must give her help the best
within our gift in order that she
may be fully equipped to stand
with us in our mutual struggle
in behalf of the nation and the
home. If therefore it be our
wish that we shall endure and
prosper we must of necessity
give her the ballot.

So declared Mayor Hiram

His successor, according to this

Ramsay, according to the gos-

just what it had reference to, I
may state that those who do
not believe in equal suffrage

Before we can work very
much toward the new reforms
we must have the women's
help. Every intelligent obser-
yer of events knows the en-
reimbursement of women is in
evitable and the spirit that
cries out against it is the same
spirit which cried out all
thru the ages-the cry of set
tied tradition against the spirit
Of progress.

the feminine in our electorate.

NEAR STRIKE
SETTLEMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a
Optimism returned in the San
francisco bay shipbuilding strike
situation today, following an
agreement by representatives of
the employers and strikers to re-
fer the entire wage controversy to
the U. S. adjustment board for
permanent settlement as soon as
arrangements can be completed

Bavin McNab, new representa-

negotiations, expressed confidence
today that a truce might be de-
clared as the result of the confer
ence which began today.
The feeling was general that the
striking shipbuilders would re-
sumo Monday.

der boys are inveterate readers, and
they are constantly running out OF
material.

RAIN NEEDED FOR
GARDENS AT STATE
ASYLUM FOR INSANE

Bismarck, N. D., July 14.-Unless a
good, soaking rain comes within the
next few days, the continued drouth
may cost the state $40, 900 in the
loss Of potatoes and garden produce
at the state hospital for the insane
at Jamestown, reported Messrs.
Brown and Nagel Of the state board
of control on their return from an in
spection Of this institution.
stutsman county, advise the board
members, has not had a thorough
%drenching since April. Potatoes and
other garden produce is at a stand
still. Crops upon which the hospital
relied lot only for a summer supply
Of fresh vegetables, but for canning
for winters use. have been almost a
complete failure. Thousands Of cans
purchased for the institution remain
empty.
The loss Of farm produce will mean
an added burden of probably $4,000
on the state for the purchase OF food-
stuffs. No provision for such an
emergency was made in the budget
for the state hospital, nor is there a
sufficient amount at the disposal of
the emergency commission to meet
this emergency. The situation, should
rain be withheld much longer, will be
really grave, announces the board Of
control.

LARGER FUNDS
TO BE ASKED
Government Needs About
Three Billion More for
the War.

Washington, July :3.-War appro-
priations of about $4,000, 600, 900, in
addition to the enormous sums al
ready appropriated or sought, will be
asked of congress in estimates which
administration officials have given no.
tice will be submitted next week.
All the appropriations contemplat-
ed for wal. purposes in the near future
will be grouped in a general d%eficien-
cy bill. a draft of which already is
under preparation. The exact total is
uncertain, but congressional leaders
feel that it will foot UP close to the
three billion dollar mark. That
would bring the total appropriations
exclusively on account Of war at this
session Of congress, including loans to
the allies, up to about $40, 600, OOO, 900.
The new measure will cover some
estimates already submitted, includ-
ing 500, 000, 900 for emergency naval
construction, $4,000, 900 for naval
aircraft. aviation stations and aerial
experiments; $4,000, 900 for pay of
clerks, rent of quarters and other ex-
ira expenses of the war department.
The pending $40. O0O, 900 general
aviation will be handled on a
separate bill.
Information is lacking as to the de-
tailed purposes of the bulk Of the con-
templated demands for war money,
and 1t is assumed that part Of it, IL
for carrying out projects which can
not be revealed for military reasons.
