FUTURE IS SECURE
Russian Army Now Bulwark
Behind Republic.
Convention Sunday Will Trim
Pacifists' Wings.

Washington, Sept. 21.-That the
Russian republic may demand the re-
spect and confidence of the United
States more than ever before is the
purpose of a formal report by AM
bassador Bakhmetieff to Secretary
Lansing today The outstanding fea-
lures of the Russian statement to this
government are:
Russia's future is secure.
Her army, considered an incalcul-
able factor before the Korniloff re-
volt. is now the strongest bulwark of
the republic.
Pacifists at Zenith of Power.
The Bolsheviki party, favoring inn
mediate international peace negotia-
tions, has reached the zenith of its
power, after being temporarily
strengthened by concessions from
Kerensky during the recent crisis.
The PAN Russian soldiers and work
mems convention in Petrograd Sun
day will curtail Lenine's sudden as
council
A more favorable military situation
exists now than at any time since Kor-
niloff's Inflated Galician drive.
Absolute denial of any demand for
a separate peace between Russia and
Germany
KorniIoff's, the Last Revolt.
The Bolsheviki are for peace among
all 'natIons-not a peace with Ger
many alone. Reports emanating from
Washington early this week that Rus
sia was talking separate peace were
branded at the embassy as malicious
falsehoods.'' with "a 'pro-German
tinge."
That the recent revolt will be the
last serious opposition to the govern
throw of the most popular military
leader in Russia" (KorniIoff) will ''un-
doubtedly serve as a warning to 9TH
ers similarly Inclined" it was stated
at the embassy today.

SCORES EFFORT TO
PROHIBIT USE OF TOBACCO

Senator James is leading the fight il
the Senate to have the amendment 10
the Chamberlain Military Training
Bill prohibiting the use of tobacco in
army training camps eliminated from
the pending war legislation. He made
it clear that the service would suffer
severely if the legislation should be
adopted. His position is that the Fed
eral Government has no right to deny
any of its citizens the freedom to con-
tinue the use of tobacco from which
they derive solace and comfort. He
pointed out to members of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, of which Sen
ator Beckham is member, in advance
Of a formal hearing, that the Allies
long since recognized the need of sup
plying their troops with tobacco, a
commodity purchased for the most
part in Kentucky and elsewhere in this
country.

Did you ever" asked Mrs. Rugs,
think what the tendency of progress
means to the old lady in your home?
No stocking or mittens to knit; no rag
carpets to be made. And as the fam
lily clothes are bought ready made, the
joy of creation is denied her, and as
no scraps come with ready-made gar
ments, the task of patching is abolish
ed If there is a baby, there is also
a modern mother who stands between
it and it's grandmothers arms with the
theory that it is not good for children
to be much petted or rocked to sleep.
"In brief, there is nothing for her
to do all day but read and mark time.
These women must find opportunities
for utilizing their knowledge and ex-
perience, and the object Of the Sunset
Club is to give it to them. A woman's
exchange could be opened, where old
ladies could make something to sell, OF
which the younger generation hasn't
the secret; or books and magazines
may be collected and passed from one
white-haired sister to another; or one
might open an intelligence office,
where the busy mother may secure the
services of an experienced old lady
for an occasional afternoon or evening
when she wishes to go out and must
provide some one to stay with the
children; or if these old ladies could
be induced to tell their experiences,
each in her own homely fashion, To
young brides and beginners in house
work, what tears and scohched fingers
could be spared. "-Frances l.. Garside

BILL ASKED
BY LIBRARY
CAN'T PASS

City Librarian Kaiser's Mt
tempt to induce the state legisla-
ture to pass bill permitting II.
braries to receive three-fourths OF
a mill levy from taxation, or near
ly double the present Tacoma IL
brary appropriation, is doomed to
disappointment.
Mayor Fawcett informed the
city council Wednesday that such
a law would be unconstitutional
and that the legislature could not
pass it.
Judge Smell of Tacoma. presi-
dent of the State Taxpayers'
league, started an Investigation
of the bill through Attorney ]. T.
s. Lyle, and notified Fawcett
Wednesday that there was no
chance for Kaiser's pet to pass.
The council unanimously con-
sidered that such law would be
an injustice to e taxpayers, a.
the increased II airy apr epria-
ton would mean d. ation in
funds of other depNS ments.
