saw them march out yester-
day-a thousand men in khaki
uniforms, stepping firmly and
as one man, their heads erect
and in their faces calm conf
dence. Far ahead the band was
playing, but these men marched
with solemn quietness, their feet
rising and falling, striking the
ground with a unison which
seemed to say that they were
welded together by a common
purpose, going ilto the unknown
in the service of a great ideal.
Along the street, and in the
windows of the tall buildings
that lined the way, men and
women-and girls, watched 81
lently, or ventured timid cheers
and hand clippings, but the men
in olive gray paid no heed. In
the ranks was no sky-larking,
no light-hearted flirting with
fair spectators, such as tradi-
tionally has marked the going
of the men in uniform.
Quickly but easily, with prac-
tised stride, each row of men
swept on with eyes set firmly
forward. They were not an i'm
aginative looking lot of men,
but something in their faces
challenged more than curiosity.
A downtown regiment, and many
of the faces were such as one
might see about the ringside at
a prize fight.
! Here and there a man held
! himself in way that spoke a
different breed, and here and
there a face showed with loose
lips and weak chin, but the man
behind the face marched deter
minedly on, as though held in
place by the currents of courage
and purpose that flowed to him
from the ranks on either side.
! A seriousness marched with
them testifying that they were
starting on no pleasure jaunt
Not reluctant; for they moved

GERMANY HAD
EYE ON ISLES


COPENHAGEN, April 9.-The
United States main purpose in
purchasing the Danish West In
dies from Denmark was to defeat
known German plans to establish
a Zeppelin and submarine base
there.
1t was learned on the highest
authority here today that months
ago when the United States began
carefully apraising the possibili-
ties of conflict with Germany, this
scheme of the imperial govern
ment to seize the islands and es-
tablish base of operations
against the United States came to
light. Ii was this reason that i'm
PEELED America to open negotia-
tons with Denmark for transfer
of this strategic position to the
American flag.
Whether Germany planned
forcibly to seize the islands or to
purchase they from Denmark was
not clear. Denmark, because of
its geographic position, is domin-
ated by Germany and for reasons
of national safety would undoubt-
eddy have acquiesced in whatever
course Germany demanded.

Colds-whether in the head OF

free of poison. Take Cascarets
tonight and you will wake up
with a clear head and your cold

and foul gases; take the excess
bile from the liver and carry off
the constipated waste matter and
poison from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to
get rid of colds is one or two Cas-

proving and developing, the
motion picture industry has
enjoyed an increasing pOpu-
larity up to the present sea-

come.
The movies are going
back.
An ambitious young man of
Tacoma started out last week with
a few hundred dollars in his peck
ct, and a vast confidence in HIM
self, planning to go into business
for himself and show the world
what he could do.
He hadn't looked 10 minutes
before he decided that the moving
picture game offered winderful
field for a youth with energy.
And he hadn't any more than
opened his mouth with this state
ment than a half dozen or more
suburban theaters were placed be-
fore him, dazzlingly painted by
their favorite owners.
One man was so interested in
the youth that he even offered to

Frank w. VIM, close friend

the torpedo was tested recently by
naval officials. 1t travelled through

Bad Days For Movie Exhibitors; 16
Out of 81 Tacoma Theaters Closed

Actors have demanded such
huge salaries-and gotten them
that only the largest theaters can
afford to pay for the films.
The public has had taste of
"highbrow" comedy and real
drama based on the best sellers"
of recent seasons, and 1t no longer
cares for the slapstick shows and
Hazards Of Helen" thrillers.
Everybody is jobbing the ex-
hibitor. Any moving picture man
will tell you that. The exhibitors
even have to pay in advance for
their films, and have to put up a
big deposit on every series.
And then, the exhibitors main
tain that the movie companies
have run out Of stories, and that
the public is getting sick and tired
of seeing film after, film based
on the same cut-and-dried plots.
But anyway, whether the NOV
ing pictures are simply getting
down to their normal standing
after an inflated prosperity caused
by the novelty of the amusement,
or whether the people are bored
by the lack of new material, 1t is
a fact that the small movie houses
are having a terrible time to exist.
