ASK LISTER
TO VETO l78

Declaring that house bill No.
17S, passed by the legislature dur
ing the last days of the session,
is an injustice to cities Of Wash
ington because it practically de-
prives them of deriving legiti-
mate revenue from occupation
taxes, the city council of Tacoma
united with Seattle and Spokane
Monday in asking Governor Lister
to veto the measure.
The bill was introduced in the
interests of the billposters of
Washington, and so prepared that
these concerns would not have to
pay license taxes in the future in
first-class cities.
1t has broad scope, and would
result in the cities losing a large
amount Of annual tax revenue.

Behaved Like Vandals."

august II. In the afternoon had
a look at the little chateau belonging
to one Of the kings secretaries (not at
home). Our men had behaved like
regular vandals. They had looted the
cellar first, and then they had turned
their attention to the bedrooms and
thrown things about all over the place.
They had even made fruitless efforts
to smash the safe open. Everything
was INSTRUMENTATION furni-
ture, silk, and even china. That's what
happens when the men are allowed to
requisitiOn for themselves. I am sure
they must have taken away heap Of
useless stuff simply for the pleasure of
looting."

1.-THE GIRL WITHOUT A CHANCE

"The Girl Without a Chance"
which comes to the Orpheum theatre
for one night starting December %,
is one of the few real hits of the
present theatrical season A reporter
of this paper in an interview with
the press agent of the company yes
terday, asked that worthy gentleman
for the underlying reason of his
plays success. Comedy" he re-
piled, "Comery, that's the answer.
Too. many playwrights are presenting
only the morbid side of life. The
public likes to laugh. l don't think
the average public cares for farce
comedy, there is not enough meat
to it. The real reason that The
Girl Without Chance has scored
such an emphatic hit is that the
author knew the value of a laugh
and knew exactly where to place it
to strengthen the piece" We are
inclined to agree with him. A good
laugh in an intensely interesting
scene has proven a great relief to
us many times. This city is fortu-
nate to secure such an attraction as

ALI Male Inhabitants Shot.

"A shell burst near the Eleventh
company, and wounded seven men,
three very severely. At five O'Clock we
were ordered by the officer in COM
mand of the regiment to shoot all the
male inhabitants of NOmeny, because
the population was foolishly attempt
ing to stay the advance of the German
troops by force of arms. We broke into
the houses, and seized all who resisted,
in order to execute them according to
martial law. The houses which had
not been already destroyed by the
French artillery and our own were Set
on fire by us, so that nearly the whole
town was reduced to ashes. 1t is ter
rible sight when helpless women and
children, utterly destitute, are herded
together and driven into France"

Seeger-Bundlie Company.
Gentlemen: have been in Seeg-
er-Bundlie, everybodys store, and
the reason | think it is a safe place
to trade is that on entering the store
the intending purchaser is impressed
with the new, clean and up-to- date
merchandise, arranged in a manner
and of sufficient quantity to enable
one to make satisfactory selection !;
that you are rendered the services
of a clerk with enough intelligence
to understand your wants when you
make them know; that children are
given the same courteous treatment
as the grown-ups. That the goods
are bought and sold in sufficient
quantities and on a cash basis, thus
insuring you the price is right. That
the merchandise is sold to you with
the understanding that it must give
you the service you have a right to
expect, according to the price you
have paid, or a satisfactory adjust
ment will be cheerfully made.
Yours for more business,

wnole It presenry.a gloomy picture.

wndle II presenrs'a gloomy picture.
The decrease in the birth rate is
based upon peace-time figures. It in-
cludes children who should have been
born, but who, had they come to life
during the war, would have been most
exposed to premature death. But there
is a much smaller number Of illegiti-
mate children, and it is especially the
poor people who are abstaining from
enlarging their families.
The infant mortality, therefore,
should have fallen off in much great
err proportion than the birth rate. Now,
this is not the case; the fall in the
birth rate exceeds even by l per cent
the death rate of children Of tender
age.
These figures show us that the war
makes itself felt not only on the field
Of battle, but that 1t reaches out to
strike at the root of the nation-the
birth rate.
The blockade which England and
her allies have established against us
with touching solicitude for humane
ty has greatly reduced the standard Of
our national health. The number Of
births shows that the growth Of the
population is being retarded at its
roots much more gravely than we al
lowed ourselves to believe at the out
set.
The situation is very serious. Even
In the event that the war should end
favorably for US In military and po-
litical respects 1t will have Slapped the
strength Of our population unless we
master the tasks that will confront us.
