TODD STRONG
FOR CAR LINE

Negotiations for building the
mile-long extension to Tacoma's
municipal tideflat street car line
will probably be rushed to COM
pletion, as a result of the visit
OF President Todd of the Todd
Shipbuilding plant.
Mr.. Todd, accompanied by Man.
ager Wylie OF the Seattle Drydock
& Construction Co. and President
II. F. Alexander or the Pacific
Steamship Co. visited Mayor
Fawcett late Thursday afternoon
and agreed with the mayor that a
single track line would be suf-
ficient for the tideflats extension
during the first year or more.
These officials agreed to use
their influence on the T. r. & p.
Co. to induce that concern to
accept the city's terms for oper-
ating cars over the new line.
They all asserted that the city's
request for the T. r. G. p. to pay
4 per cent. annually on the cost of
the line was reasonable.
II believe the street car com
pany will agree in a very few
days to operate cars over the ex-
tension said Mayor Fawcett Fri

pressed in his formal speech of
yesterday, there were various re-
ports here of widespread discon-
tent over his failure to announce
promised electoral reforms.
Hollweg was quoted as declar-
ing the time was not yet ripe for
such reforms, in view of the fact
that the greater part of Germany's
voting population was now in the
trenches.
Socialistic plans are gaining
new adherents in Germany, ac-
cording to various reports. The

AFIELD, March 30.--British Of

man lines today that the Teutons
were uncertain of their ability to
hold their new defensive positions.

ports of numerous fires, series of
explosions and preparations re-

Germans reported an increasing
dissatisfaction spreading among
the German soldiers themselves.
Before leaving, many citizens
said the soldiers revealed to them
a situation in Germany somewhat
akin to that which preceded the
Russian revolution.
The soldiers expressed general
dissatisfaction with the state of
affairs at home. They said they
were treated like dogs in the army,
while their folks at home were re-
garded as mere cattle"
French inhabitants declared an
oft-repeated phrase they heard
from the German soldiers was that

DOUBTS
SWEPT
ASIDE!

Omitted Press Leased WireD
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 3O.-Only actual war
was talked here generally to-
day. Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg clinched the idea.
President Wilson and his
cabinet, booked for a late aft
eInoon session, were expected
to shape the last details OF
what will maen the entry OF
the United States into the
conflict.
Hollweg, considered defiant,
weak and misleading in his argu-
ments, swept aside all doubts in
the minds of international experts
that President Wilson will make a
forceful demand upon congress for
America to play full part in the
struggle.
That President Wilson is rapid
ly turning more strongly in favor
of some form of universal military
training is the view of officials
who have followed events closely
VIII Nail Insincerity.
The pacifist element in congress
will be stamped beneath a patrio-
tic wave, according to unofficial
canvasses today. Congress will
uphold President Wilson to the
last ditch, 1t now appears.
The president, according to
speculation, will only generally
outline the long line of German
offenses which has forced this ma
ton to enter a war mot of its
own choosing" But that he will
make Germany's guilt evident is
regarded as a foregone conclusion.
Hollweg's speech, trying to cast
the burden of responsibility on
the United States, indicated tone
of fatigue to men here. 1t was
regarded as showing for the first
time a lack of the chancellor's
usual punch sort of resigna-
tion to fate.
Moreover, interpreters here
said the message was insincere, es-
pecially as regards his statements
with respect to Russia and China.
I'VE never NEEDLE with the inter-
nal affairs," said Hollweg-and
Washington answered.: "Look
at the Zimmerman plot"
Expect Rush to Colors.
Recruiting grows.
Next week officials believe the
nation will see such response to
the call to the colors that the
the world-will be
amazed.
