PORK CHOPS
WILL GO UP
TO SO CENTS

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Pork
chops soon will be so cents a
pound retail.
Ham and bacon will be even
higher. Meat generally is going
up.
These were the conclusions
drawn for the United Press to-
day by Robert Miller, president
of the Chicago Retail Grocers' as
sociaion, from Hoovers meat re-
port.
Danger of a meat famine has
been known to Chicago retail
dealers for some time, Miller
said.
There is but one remedy" he
said. Uncle Sam must devise
some regulation that will make
it more profitable for the farmer
TO feed his grain to cattle than
to sell 1t. AS long as the farmer
can get 50 for corn on a quick
sale, he is not going to feed it to
cattle and wait for the same
profit.
"Shrfnkage in the supply of
corn-fed cattle and good beef be-
comes more alarming daily"

To tell the truth it was a
creed that in his time he did not
expect to see put into practice.
He knew that some day it would
come true, but for his own life
he looked forward to nothing but
covert agitation, secret meetings,
perilous escapes from the ever
watchful police, and either ST.
IBERIA or the gallows as the bound
airy of his life.
The bloody story of the futile
revolution of 1905 taught him
the terrible lesson. The ear and
his power were fast rooted in the
very foundations of things, not to
be torn out except with long,
painful, toilsome efforts stretched
over years.

WITH THE FRENCH
ARMIES IN THE FIELD,
Aug. 2i.-The greatest bat
tie of the world was being
fought today.
From the seacOast to the
Swiss frontier - over 435
miIes-the allied forces were
fighting a practically cOntin-
uous offensive.
Frances great assault at Yer
dun, still driving on, completed
the chain of battles which were
welded in the forge OF war into
one gigantic action of unprecedent-
ed extent and power.
The great battle started with
the Anglo-Franeo offensive in
Flanders extended to the British
offensive at Lens, thence to the
French attacks around st. Quen-
tin, then to the French offensives
at Chemin des Danes, Moronvil-
liers and Verdun and concluded
with heavy artillery fighting in
Lorraine and Alsace down to
Switzerland.
MAY Break Hold In West.
The western front has never
seen such an extensive battle. Nor
has the allies superiority every-
where been such.
Three more months of fighting
weather this year, Germany's hold
on the western front may become
precarious before winter.
The battles around Lens, Arras,
St. Quentin, along the Aisne and
at Moronvilliers continued with
undated intensity.
Flashes Light Sky.
Germany made her supreme eff
fort in concentration of men and
of artillery in the 1916 assault on
Verdun, but the French assault
of today in the identical sector,
surpassed it,
The combined French and Ger
man artillery brought into the
play of death, is probably the
greatest concentration of weapons
for a single attack the whole war
has yet seen.
During Sunday nights final ar
tillery preparation by the French,
altho 1t was cloudy and the French
military rules strictly forbade the
slightest glimmer of artificial
light, I was able to leave Verdun
at midnight and proceed to an
observation point, a greater dis
lance from the city than Doua-
mont, as my way was lighted by
countless thousands of gun
flashes.
1t was as tho million light
ming flashes blended into one cata-
clysmic shock.
Germans brought into action

they exploded with great out
burst of flames and their bril-

teachers than any other state In

dents and more music lovers.
This Is In harmony with the
fact that California is the most
beautiful state in the union and
that, altho geographically far from
the center of the United States, 1t
is fast becoming the art center
of the western world. To our
mountains and forests and val
leys, to our rose bordered cities
and crystal seas, the artist comes
to paint his rainbow dreams, the
sculptor comes to model In mar
BILE his ideal of perfect form and
the writer comes to gather his
Hottest inspirations.
Then comes the musician and,
after listening to the sound of the
sea, the lullabies of tinkling
brooks, the whispering trees and
the prayers of the flowers, after
holding his ear to the poets
heart, watching the light on tho
artists face and searching the
soul of the sculptor for ideas Of
harmony, he weaves them all into
one grand symphony, for music Il
the voice of art.

HEAR 28 DRAFT
APPEAL CASES

With more than 10000 exemp-
ton appeals to be taken up with
in three weeks, the Tacoma dis
trict appeal board was able Tues
day morning to act on only %
cases at one session.
Lieut.. Gov. Hart, chairman of
the board, explained that the work
was new to the board, and that he
expected swift progress as soon as
the members became familiar with
the procedure.
Three appeals to the exemption
board, all from Skamania coun-
ty, were denied out of the 2S APP
peals investigated Tuesday.
Too Indefinite
Archie l.. Coy, who had been
refused exemption by a local
board when he claimed that he
was the sole support of an uncle,
was also refused exemption on
the grounds that he was engaged
in agricultural work, because the
board found that his farming had
begun since he registered.
Sylvan Marble of Mt. Pleasant,
wanted exemption because he as
sisted his father in caring for a
25-acre tract, but was refused.
Claude Davidson of Underwood,
claimed that he should have ex-
emption because he was cultivat-
ing an apple orchard, but he failed
to tell the size of his orchard or
the extent of his Industry, so was
denied.
Five other cases were held up
until further information could be
obtained.

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-
White-haired, lettering with

Boys of 81" 10000 strong,
marched here today in their
last parade.
Feeble and a little un-

spirit that carried them thru

veterans of the G. A. r.
moved between solid lines of
cheering thousands.
And while the fast fading
ranks of the thin blue line"
marched for the last time,
here and there in the crowd
stood a man in khaki-a 81

birth of the great new ma
tional army which will fight
to uphold the standard of
liberty set by the veterans of
'61.

F FEDERAL
MEASURE:
INVOKED

Drug stores in Tacoma which
have been selling alcohol and
alcoholic beverages under vari-
Gus labels will be placed under a
federal ban and prohibited from
further sales, according to an or
der issued by Police Capt. Falco-
ner Tuesday.
The effect of this order
will he 10 make downtown
Tacoma bone dry. Druggists
in outlying sections will not
be affected.
Capt. Falconer will act under
the instructions issued by the de-
partment of justice Monday, to
the effect that no liquor can be
sold within half mile of any
place where portions of the u. S.
army are encamped.
This order caused more than
100 saloons in San Diego to be
closed, because quartermaster
company with its mules was sta
toned near the center of the city.
Camped in Town.
In Tacoma portions of the ma
tional army which are doing spe-
cial guard duty over power
plants, bridges, and other public
places, are encamped at the T.
R. & P. train sheds, 18th and
Pacific, and at the Municipal
dock.
Capt. Falconer issued orders
that all druggists within a half
mile of these places cease selling
intoXicants.
Plus Smell.
Druggists are selling alcohol
on certification that 1t Is for
mechanical purposes"
Many of them, according to
Capt. Falconer, are selling bay
rum which contains pure alcohol
with an almost imperceptible
trace of bay leaves, and jamaica
ginger that is nothing but alco-
hol favored with ginger.
1T is these drinks that have
caused so many cases of drunk
enness recently" said Capt. Fall
coner.
THE druggists have been tech
nically protected by law. But
now / will insist that they live up
to the federal war regulations,
and IL they do not the police and
government officials will step in
and close up their drug stores"

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-08-21

The revolution there was diff
ferent from any other revolution.
All the rest have been politi-
cal. This was about one-fifth
political and about four-fifths
something else.
Revolution has been taught
many years in Russia. Taught
secretly, of course, underground,
in cellars, stealthily and in whis-
pered speech, but taught.
Those that taught it taught a
great deal more than merely the
notion that the rule of the cZar
must be overthrown.
Here is the first place where
we in America get off on the
wrong foot.
We have one fixed, abiding,
persistent conception Of the Rus
sian revolutionist as man with
a deadly hatred of the car. We
don't understand that he planned
an entirely new system of society,
that he had a whole vast creed of
social betterment in which the
overthrow of the car was nothing
but an incident.
There never was a broader
creed. 1t embraced the whole
world.
