 Concentrate Fire
 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct. 5.-(By the Associated Press. 1.-The sun this morning was shining down through the crisp Octo- Der air on an unwavering line of Brit ish troops along the new defenses which they reached in yesterdays great drive. The night had brought virtually no change in the situation and the Brit ish rapidly were consolidating the posi- tions that were the fruit of one of the most important conquests of the war. The night was comparatively calm as far as infantry action was concerned
 The enemy, however, concentrated an intense artillery fire on the. entire battle front, and during yesterday aft ernoon and evening they masSed their shattered troops at various places for counter attacks. These were attempts born in desperation and in almost every case the onrushing waves of German rnfantry were caught in heavy artil- lery, machine gun and rifle fire and crushed before they reached their ob- jectives The German artillery fire was particularly heavy up t6 midnight along the section in the vicinity of Polher- hoek. In the afternoon and evening the enemy launched no less than five

Aroused to action by phe-

the municipal light and power de-
partment, and the undisputed as
sertion that Tacoma will face a
shortage of power by October,
1919, unless a second power plant

option at once on the 100000
power site at Lake Cushman.
This site is owned by the Ma
son County Power Co., and has
been considered by city electrical
experts for some time as valu-
able location for second Tacoma
power plant.
An option for 60 days can be
obtained without any, cash deposit
and the city will be under no
obligations to purchase the site.
Commissioner Gronen, in the

S849 TAXES A FAMILY!
That Is What Uncle Sam
Will Ask, on Average,
For Present Year; and
That May Not Be ALI!
BY Basil M. Manly

WASHlNGTON, ID. e., Aug.
3.-Have you $848.57 for
your Uncle Sam this year?
That is what he is going to
need, the coming IL months,
from the average American
family to pay the staggering
war cost and ordinary gov
eminent expenses.
Some families will have to pay
more in loans and taxes. Some will
pay much less.
Some, who pay only through in
direct taxes, will not, realize Just
what they are contributing; but
all will pay.
$40 Person
A compilation of the appropria-
tions passed and pending for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1918,
shows a total of $1G,971,414,291,
of which about $9,250, 900, 600
has been authorized by congress,
and $7,750,000,000 is still to be
voted.
For each of the 100000 fam
lilies in America this means an
average of $3.50 in round figures,
and for every man, woman and
child an average of s175.
May Not BE All
Where these enormous sums are
going, and how much each item
means to the average family is
shown in the accompanying table
And this may not be all. There
are strong movements for higher
pay for the soldiers, more air.
planes, more sub-chasers, and a
comprehensive insurance scheme
which would make even the
staggering total of $17,000,0OO,-

Es3D HERE is no use beating about the bush,
MIR. Griggs The lumber industry in this
state is tied up because you and the men
you represent are either afraid to submit
your case to arbitration, knowing you are in the
wrong, or, believing yourselves right, are too
bullheaded, too arrogant, too autocratic, to meet
with your employees and the federal and state
mediators.
You say you, and the other lumbermen, are
patriotic. You say YOU want to help the govern
ment Show it, then, by action Yours is the
side which is holding out. The union men have
agreed to meet YOU III conference. They have
agreed to submit their demands to arbitration.
They sought conference with you employers
before they ever considered going ON strike.
This week the flower Of our young manhood
left Tacoma to serve Uncle Sam. Those 500
youths left for whatever fate the war may have in
store for them. From the down sound forts some
OF them may go elsewhere. Not one of them
knows what the future may hold. SOME may
never return. ALL are ready to sacrifice their
ALL for the service Of their country.

Had Not Registered.


Alderman had not registered
for army service, but the theory
was she feared apprehension as a
Stacker. Because the woman for
many years had been known as
Samuel Alderman" the optician,
police have been unable to learn
her real name.
While living in New York, soon
after coming from Russia, Sam
uel Alderman" married New
York girl. "He" brought her
here, supporting her as an optic
ian. But she obtained a divorce
here over two years ago and mar
ried. She is now Mrs. Sarah Wise
and is the mother of a year old
baby.
Wears Fine Clothes.
"Ackerman's" personal effects
are entirely those of a man, in
Guiding a razor, which appeared
unused.
The body, tied down by an
weight, finally came
to the surface yesterday. Only
when the body was examined at
the morgue was it found to be
that of a woman.
Clothing on the body was of
fine texture. The girl wore a gray
coat, gray trousers and brown OK
fords, white shirt, and collar.
Silk socks and mems underwear
completed her attire. All marks
of Identification had been re-
moved.
Iron Plate Tied On.
An iron plate was fastened to
her belt with a handkerchief.
The girl weighed about 125
pounds.
Sarah Alderman petition
for divorce from Samuel was
filed in common pleas court here
on April 8, 1914.
The plaintiff charged neglect,
non-support and extreme cruelty.
She said they were married In
Hoboken, N. j., nine years pre-
vious to the filing of the petition.
Il don't believe the body found
in the river identified as Samuel
Alderman is that of the man
married." Mrs. Wise declared to-
day, tho she admits she married
a Samuel Alderman.
The body, that of a woman, has
been identified by a half dozen
people as Samuel Alderman"
Mrs. Wise. however, has not seen
the body.
