Allied Diplomacy Lax.

It was known for some days before
China declared war that the event was
likely to occur at any moment, yet
when the declaration was made the
majority of the entente ministers were
out of town.
AS to the Chinese. they seem TO con-
slider that by having declared war they
have done all that was expected OF
them. Beyond closing the German
banks in China, dismssing Germans
and Austrians from; government en-
ploy and compelling the remainder. of
the hostile subjects to- register them
selves. their attitude toward them has
not undergone any great change. They

A Trick
of the
Spice Trade

There are tricks in all trades, so
we have all been told for years.
A trick of the spice trade, is to
use ofl-gradc, immature spices
for grinding. This is the prac-
tice of about nine of every ten
spice grinders. We believe we
were the first Pacific Coast Spice
House to use exclusively first
quality spices for grinding. Our
profits are lowered by this prac-
ticc but our patronage is broad
ened.- So our loss is in reality n

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The delegates to the interfra-
ternal council. representing 1000
to 5000 members of the fraternal
and labor bodies, organized near
ly a year ago to put on non
commercialized Fourth of July
celebration.
They decided as the plan OF
raising money for the necessary
expenses for the interesting events
should be the sale of tickets for
the Stadium event Of the evening
Of the 4th.
That part of the celebration
would have to be worthy Of the
price OF admission, or the tickets
would not be sold.
Working along these lines, the
executive board thought proper
to make a contract for the vast
patriotic display OF fireworks as
part of the entertainment for the
evening of the 4th.
Some criticism has been heard
that the expenditure for fireworks
should be cut on account OF the
war.
If II was cut out, those same

If YOU KNOW
STACKER, TELL
A POLICEMAN

Amy person in Tacoma who
knows the name of a man within
the CONSUMPTION age limit who
did not register June 8, should
notify police headquarters at once.
This was the request made
Thursday, following a conference
between Detective Capt. Strick-
land and T. w. Mccormick, spe-
cial agent of the department OF
justice, sent here to round UP
slackers.
1.-The police department does
not intend to accost men on the
streets and demand that they pro-
duce their registration certifi-
Gates" said Strickland.
That would be too big job
and would cause lots of trouble
But If anyone will report to us
the names of men who have tried
to escape the draft, we will make
arrests"
Mccormick was sent to Tacoma
to work with police and sheriff's
officers in the roundup of mer
who failed or refused to register.
The city has names of 80 mer
already, and began investigating
each case Thursday. No arrests
had been made at a late hour.

people would criticise because the
entertainment was not what it
should be.
Were there no fireworks on
that evening, the critics would
have to go down in their pockets
for 25 cents to IS for their boys
and girls, whereas they can take
them to the Stadium and by pool
ing their Is cents worth with
hundreds of others can have an
exhibition worth while.
We do not see anyone cutting
out the moving pictures, the thea
ters or any other form of amuse-
ment, so why should there be any
objection to the old custom of
celebrating our Independence by
a grand celebration of fireworks?
The executive board of the In
terfraternal council are human,
and may make some mistakes,
but they are doing their best to
serve, first, the fraternal orders
they represent; second, their city;
third, their state, and, fourth,
their country. No body of men
and women were ever more patri-
otto in their endeavors than the
International Council of Tacoma.

Three battalions of the Sth re-

pected to be encamped at Ameri-
can lake by Friday night. The
number of men at the camp was
increased by 178 men from San
Francisco Wednesday.
The men are learning the in
fantry drills and formations.
They are being equipped as fast
as they arrive. "Shots" of the
paratyphoid incubation are given
to the men at intervals of four
days.
The final plans of the spur lines
to be used jointly by the four rail-
roads of the city are being COM
pleted, and will be submitted for
the approval of the railroads soon.
Detailed plans of the canton
ment will arrive in Tacoma with

Thursday. A landscape gardener

army camps will arrive in Taco
ma within three days, to lay out
the plans of the buildings.

Hurley and representatives of
the Tacoma firms which will
build the cantonment predicted
Thursday that there will be little
difficulty to obtain the skilled and
common labor to handle the enor-
nous job.
A large part Of the labor will
be available right here in Tacoma.
1t probably will be necessary, how
ever. to bring skilled mechanics
and other workmen from Seattle,
Portland and Spokane, 1t was de-
olared. The Hurley-Mason Co. has
