EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Am writing to you In the effort
to get in touch with such parties
as would be interested in doing
something for the boys at this can
Torment in way that would
reach and be appreciated by all OF
them.
Most people would never class
ify "dish-towels" in the list OF q
company's necessities, hut never
theless they are used probably
more than any other article out
side of the regular army equip
ment. In fact, they are a thing
that is used by each and every
man in the camp.
Now these are not issued to the
companies by the government.
strange as 1t may appear at first
thought. Tut there is reason
for this. In the regular barracks
the dishes are washed by the help
ers in the kitchen, so dish-towels
are of no consequence to the men.
However, in the field or camp Of
this kind each may takes care OF
his own mess-kit, so the dish
towel now plays an important role
in fact is practically necessity.
But the securing of them is en-
tirely up to the men. During the
Hast few months we have been
supplied by the Red Cross socie-
ties of Seattle and Tacoma and by
various individuals thruout the
states of Washington and Oregon,
all of whom, we might add, have
more than done their part in this
work. However, since the new
army has come in, 1t is impossible
for them to meet the enormous
demand, and our supply is now
completely exhausted and many
organizations are entirely without
the dish-owels. Consequently we
are now to the place where we
have to ask for assistance from
other sources.
We would appreciate 1t II you
can refer this matter to such par
ties as are in position to help in
supplying the large number OF
towels needed. Might add that
we will also require large quanti-
ties regularly in. order to keep up
the stock.
Thanking you in advance for
anything you can do for us in this
connection, I am,
Very truly yours,

CITY LINE
RUNNING
in PART!

Getting his first lesson in
street car operation, Mayor A. v.
Fawcett, who will manage the
city's new tideflats line, pulled
the bell cord Monday night that
started the first new city car
across the 18th street fill. An
electrician acted as motorman.
Two of the new motor cars had
been coupled together, and when
Fawcett gave the signal the cars
started smoothly over the new
line on their first trip. The ride
started at the Milwaukee shops
and ended at the Foundation Co. s
shipbuilding plant, the present
terminus of the line.
A party of city officials rode
in the new cars. As soon as the
return trip had been made the
cars were run on a sidetrack, and
work of ballasting the track was
resumed.
Cars will not run thru from Pa
cific ave. to the shipyards for two
weeks, because the Milwaukee
viaduct is not finished.
Acknowledging that he had lost
his bet, Mayor Fawcett sent an or
der to Manager Bean of the T.
r. & p. Co. Tuesday, accompanied
by brief note.

Walter Harvey, examining for

against the government, and the
great trouble Is that most of us
who are heartily in sympathy with
the government do not speak out
as loudly as we should and there
are too many of our good friends
who are not only not in sympathy
with the government but inclined
to criticise severely, and citizens
OF this kind usually find listeners.
The Western Washington Fair

patriotism.
We would like to have you join

Farmers differ from most other

ing how hard 1t is to get farmers
In the habit of investigating. We
find this the chief reason why

In addition to this, farmers who

EDITOR THE TIMES:
II might not be out of place to
call your attention to what we are
trying to do this year in behalf OF
the Western Washington Fair.
First of all, the chief object of
the fair is to bring the farmers to-
gether for the purpose OF consul
tation as to what has been done
and what can be done. Many of
our farmers devote too much OF
their time to their own farms and
do not study prevailing conditions
to a sufficient extent to broaden
their vision.
A well conducted agricultural
fair is a big asset to any commu-

Lord Northclife.

1t is announced from London that
Lord Northciiffc has accepted the posi-
tion of head of the British war mis-
sion in the United States to succeed Mr.
Balfour, who is to return to his duties
at the foreign Office. His selection is
eminently wise and suitable. As Alfred
Harmsworth he became well known and
we'll liked in this country as man of
ability engaged in a great newspaper
enterprise. The development of his
holdings and the enlargement of his in
fl ence were observed with interest here
for he was a manifestation of spirit
in journalism that was more American
in its character than British He is to-
day easily the foremost newspaper fac
tor in Great Britain, perhaps the best
known journalist in Europe. Through
out the war he has exercised q potent
influence. 1t was he who brought about
changes in the munition work in Eng
land and caused the remedying of the
conditions under which the British army
was kept short of shells. His repeated
appeals for a reorganization of the mu-
milton works brought him under severe
criticism and at times there we're
whispers that Northcliffe was going too
far in his structures upon the admins
tration. Today the value of his work
is recognized. The loyalty of his sup
port Of the government is not for a mo-
ment questioned, and the services that
he has rendered are highly appreciated.
His administrative ability and his full
knowledge of every aspect of the war
constitute an exceptionally valuable
equipment for the post of chief COM
missioner to the United States.

Our. Ships at War.

Indications are given in the weekly
preliminary statement from London
about submarine activities of the sue
eessful activity of American naval YES
sells in the campaign against the under
sea boats. 1t is stated that the arrival
Of the American vessels has helped in
more ways than one, and it is indicated
that our ships have not only stimulated
activity on the part Of the British anti
submarine feet, but have scored successes
themselves in the destruction Of L boats
It is to be regretted that the British
naval policy is to conceal all submarine
distinctions and captures, for just at
this stage there would be great encour-
agement for the people here at home in
reports of actual successes by the Ameri-
can squadron. Indeed, the policy of
silence has probably served its full pur-
pose and might we'll be succeeded by a
course Of frank statements regarding
the work Of the "little ships" that go
forth to make the sea safe for commerce.

is much lower than that Of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, that Of the ways
and means committee, and I've hundred
millions lower than that Of tho Senate
finance committee. The details Of his
views, therefore, will be Q challenge all
around.
1t may be too late to change the Sen.
ate's purpose. When the finance com.
mittee reports, its recommendations are
likely to be accepted in the main.
Changes made will hardly cut into the
committees total heavily. Standing by
the committee will be urged as = sort Of
duty. #...s
Still, the debate will be the clearer
and the better if it proceeds after full
exposition of what could be done with
a billion dollars raised equitably and
expended judiciously. The Junior Mas.
sachusetts senator does not propose a
skipping Of the government. He recog.
nizes the unusual times and large needs,
and would provide what is necessary.
In the interview he has given on the
subject he makes it plain that he has
only useful and reasonable economy in
mind He simply does not think it ad.
visable to burden the country with di-
rect taxes in an amount far beyond the
call of the hour
The House sighted its work, whipping
through at top speed poorly digested
measure that sent chill up and down
the spine of the whole business world.
Hence the Senate's opportunity is great,
and should be seized and improved to
the fullest possible extent

Senator Weeks Estimate.

Senator Weeks has expressed the opin-
ion that billion dollars by direct taxa
ton would serve the governments pur-
poses at present. He has not particu-
larized, but doubtless is prepared to
do so.
When he speaks on the revenue bill
the Massachusetts, senator will have
close attention, both by reason Of this
opinion. and the fact that it is the opin.
ion Of business man. He has studied
the problem from the business point Of
view. He knows what is good for bust.
ness, and at the same time has regard
for the governments necessities. We
shall ali be listening to q man who was
educated for the naval service and saw
service, who afterward educated himself
for business and succeeded in business,
and then entered politics and has sue
ceeded there.

serve TO allay apprehension on the part
Of the public on the score Of the treat

with the lives and health and comfort
Of soldiers and sailors will discharge their
obligation conscientiously, to the utmost
Of their ability, and while at times there
may be inadequacies Of equipment and
provision there will be no callous neg
