Burglar Away From House

Presence OF mind of 12-year-old
Margaret Weyer, daughter of Rev.
G. w. Weyer, 30S North l ST.,
prevented a burglary in the par
sonage early Sunday evening.
with a girl companion, Mar
garet had been left at home when
her father, accompanied by Mrs.
Weyer, started for the First Pres
byterian church for the evening
service.
Within five minutes after the
parents had departed, a man slip
ped MP on the front porch and be-
ran trying keys in the lock. The
children saw him thru window.
Stepping to a telephone, little
Margaret called to Central: Il
want police headquarters, quick"
And she spoke the words as loudly
as she could. SO that the burglar
might hear.
Hello. Is this the police sta
tion - asked the little girl, as

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. II
"A protest about the presence of
Anstrians and Bulgarians in
Washington, lodged the other day
by the Patriotic Education soci-
ETY., calls attention to our curious
position in this world conflict.
We have declared war upon
Germany.
Austria and Turkey have sew
cred diplomatic relations with us.
-And--we are upon terms of
perfect amity with Bulgaria,
whose minister, Stephen Panare-
toff, and attaches are here in the
capital.
Ask state department officials
whether Bulgarians might not
send war information to Germany,
by cables in code thru Sweden or
other neutrals and they answer
Great Britain and France hold up
all such messages.
Ask whether it Is not possible
to mail information, say to Ha-
vana, thence to Spain, and Ger
many by roundabout route, and
THEY ADMIT 1T CAN BE
DONE. However, they add such
a procedure takes time. There Is
also a feeling that by keeping on
terms with Bulgaria we keep open
a window looking into Mittel-
Europa.
Access to Bulgarian papers,
revealing bulgarian thought,
causes one to wonder wheth-
err the Bulgarian legation
ought not to be sacked at
once.
They will tell you there that
Bulgaria is only a little country.
But modern Germany started with

FIX FREIGHT
RATE ON LINE

A flat switching fee of IS per
car for all freight transported on
the city's new municipal car line

agreed upon Monday by the coun-
Gil.
The fee was suggested by
committee of Is men represent

all industries on the tideflats.
The city had previously fixed a
sliding scale of rates, but the COM
mittee pointed out that the flat
fee would bring larger gross
profit. besides preventing any
charges of discrimination in rates.
Work on the new line was being
rushed Monday. Fourteen days
are left for completing the line

We are asked, and rightly, to
burn with indignation at the
cruelties heaped upon Belgium by
the Germans. But we are allowed
to forget the Bulgars' tortures OF
the Serbians.
We call the Germans Huns and
we do not know the Bulgars
proudly call themselves Huns.
The newspaper Primerski Ne
vine of Sushak says: 1.-The Bui
garian scholar Panoff of Sofia
writes in the Nord and Sud that
the BULGARIANS ARE DE-
SCENDANTS OF THE HUNS who
came to Europe, and that their
only kinsmen in Europe are the
Magyars and the Firms.
The Bulgarians have up to
now preserved the main traits
of the Hun character and
their physical appearance.
The Slavs are dreamers,
frank, undecided, lazy and
indolent, and the Blugars are
cOld-blooded, calm, clever
and energetic"
Last year when there was So
called international conference on

the most civilized of the Tartar
tribes"
A people may be Judged by their
national portrait. Uncle Sam
represents Americans, as John
Bull represents Englishmen.
Aleke Konstantinoff in his novel,
"Baya Gagno," tried to portray in
his hero of that name the essential
characteristics of the Bulgars. To-
day Bulgars hail the novel as one
of their greatest. "Baya Gagno'
is painted as insolent, repugnant,
avaricious, egotistic, lying, rascal
ly, hypocritical, brutal and gross
to the heart. He is the product of
his uncultivated surroundings, the
victim of his brutal education.
This type of man is deporting
Serbians to Asia Minor and send
ing Serbian girls to Turkish ha-
rems.
The Bulgars- have become COM
pletely imbued with the Prussian
idea. They dream of conquest
and loot.

Geography
EDITOR THE TIMES:


1t is very hard for me to be-
lieve that any Tacoma merchant
would charge soldier more for
an article than he would charge
another. In spite of all the fuss
that has been raised over this
question, / refuse to think any
merchant of Tacoma is so colos-
sally stupid, not to say immoral.
However, many unbelievable
things happen these days. 1t
seems to me II there is a fault
! of this kind there is also simple
remedy. The soldier should re-
port the matter to the Commercial
club, and the club should first
carefully investigate, and the mer-
chant being found guilty, the
facts should be printed in all the
newspapers. 1 think that would
stop it.
/ But this is not what l started
! to write about. / want this time
/ to fire a shot at The Times,
which is thing | seldom feel
occasion to do generally agree
with The Times, and often heart
lily. But in making its strong pro-
test against this overcharge of the
soldiers las alleged) The Times
went out of its way to slam the
movement started by Mrs. M. G.
Mitchell to have the station at
Camp Lewis so named, rather than
to continue to call it American
lake. AS Mrs. Mitchell points out,
the official designation of the can
Torment is Camp Lewis, Taco
ma" The effect of designating
the cantonment as Camp Lewis
American lake, is to leave the
country at large in doubt as to
Just where it. And the effect OF
THAT is, of course, for Tacoma to
be left out of it as usual.
The Times, under two-column
headline in its news columns Sat
Nnrday gave a startling illustration
of this truth. According to The
Times, a map of the U. s. has
been printed by the Minneapolis
Journal locating all the army can
tonments, and on this map the
name of the city of Tacoma
;, (where the Washington canton
ment Isl, does not appear-but the
city of Olympia and the city OF
Seattle does apepar.- This, too, is
almost unbelievable, but The
Times, which editorially sneers at
Mrs. Mitchell's suggestion direct
ed toward making such thing
impossible-or less possible) says
in its news columns that 1t Is
true.
In forwarding one good move
ment, is II necessary to belittle
another good movement? Mrs.
Mitchell's suggestion is directly
to the point and should be acted
upon at once.

WESTWOOD, CAL, Sept. ~
One million dollars damage was
done today by a fire which le-
stroyed two-thirds of the lumber
stock of Red River Lumber Co.
and threatened the. plant itself
here.
The yards Of the company were
swept by flames for several hours
and 50,000,000 feet of lumber de-
stroyed.
The fire, which began at 3 d.

minister to Germany, ecstatically
said:
"Never q ruler has SO
quickly conquered the hearts
of u nation as the German
kaiser did with Bulgarian
hearts. The whole nation is
enthusiastic for Kaiser VIII
helm. His magnanimity made
us forget the past. He has
presented us with the whole
booty taken by German
troops in Serbia, worth 30 to
40 million francs"
About the same time the
kaiser's third son, Prince August
Wilhelm, returned the compli-
ment, saying that BETWEEN
THE GERMAN AND BULGAR-
IAN ARMIES THERE WAS
PRACTICALLY NO DIFFER
ENCE, AND ADDlNG: "In Ger
many and her sovereign Bulgaria
will always find cooperation"
This kind of thing has i'm
mensely increased the Bulgars'
ambitions. They dream of emerg-
ing from this war as world
power, an ally on an equal foot
ing with Germany and Austria.
They expect to give up no terri
tory.
Sofia newspapers speak semi-of-
ficially.
Kambana of Sept. 16, 1916,
says boastfully: with Serbia
destroyed and Rumania parti-
toned, this signifies for Bulgaria
that her territory will be doubled.
Also this signifies the classified
ton of Bulgaria in the rank of
the great independent nations
whose word must be considered
in the regulation of the destinies
of the whole world
The Narodni Prava speaks OF
quadruple alliance which Is
not merely political and military,
but also economic. After the war
Bulgaria will be able to use the
German-Austrian network of rail-
ways clear to Bagdad and the
Persian gulf.
July 7 of this year the Balkan
ska Poshta commented that upon
the thirtieth anniversary of the
accession of the Bulgarian car,
news from Germany showed the
Germans firmly believed Bulgaria
would emerge from the war as a
great power.
Fostered by Germany and her
allies, the socialists attempted to
hold a peace confab at Stockholm,
proclaiming a doctrine of no an
nexations and no indemnities.
This was designed to please the
Russians. BY the same token, II
greatly displeased the Bulgar-
ians. The Utro of Sofia said
early this year:
1.-The deputy, Mr.. Janulov, de-
clares the formula peace without
annexations, recently adopted by
the Russian and German social
lists, calls for an amendment
where Bulgaria is concerned.
After so many revolutions and
wars we cannot admit that the
unification of the Bulgarian ma
ton is equal to an annexation.
April 27 last Kambana COM
mented on this: "The formula
peace without annexation natur-
ally applies only to the incorpora-
tion of alien nationalities by-fOrce
and against their will. IL one
speaks of a remuneration of all an
nexation on the part Of the cen
trail powers that does not mean
that anyone thinks of leaving
Macedonia, the Debrudja and the
Morava."
The Narodni Prava, organi OF
Prime Minister Radeslavoff, puts
forward the same idea. This
would mean Bulgaria's annexation
of two-thirds of Serbia, a consid-
cradle part of Rumania and the
Kavala district of rGeece, making
in all a country with nearly half
the area of Germany and with
lose to $1,000, 900 people.

DEFENSE
COUNCIL
MEETING

The critical need of the govern
ment for northwest spruce for
airplane construction and the
failure Of Washington lumbermen
to supply the government all it
needs, as promised, was one Of
the biggest questions which faced
the state council of defense when
1t met in the Commercial club
rooms Monday.
Equally important was the
settlement of the eight-hour day
question which today has Grip
pied coast shipbuilding.
These questions were to be
taken up by the council at its aft
ernoon session.
Meet With Scherer.
The council, headed by DIR.
Henry Suzzallo, metz with DIR.
James Scherer, chief of the sec
ton on cooperation of states of
the national council of defense.
He was here to get suggestions
for use in other states and to
make suggestions to aid the work
of the council in Washington.
Plans for the permanent Or
ganization OF every precinct in the
state to push Food Dictator Hoo
ver's food conservation drive, the
Liberty loan bond campaign in
October. and the Red Cross cam
paign, was the chief subjects of
discussion at the morning ses-
sion.
Organize Women.
The active organization of
"minutemen" thruout the state
to aid the government was report
ed by Mrs. ]. S, Mckee of Ho-
quiam, in charge of the women's
work for the council.
Thru this organization a direct
line of communication from aid
ministration officials at the ma
tional capital and the home is to
be established.
The plan of organization out
lined is to have the woman coun-
cillor on each county council Of
defense appoint ward captains.
These captains will in turn name
precinct lieutenants, who will
have staffs of precinct commit
teemen to get in touch with every
woman in the neighborhood.
All Will Help.
II am confident the organiza-
ton will work." said Mrs. Mckee.
"As soon as we realize what this
war really means, and begin to
feel some of its sorrows, am
sure the women and mothers of
the state will be eager to do
something, no matter how small
it may be, for the government"
Thru our organization we in
tend to give every woman some
thing definite to do to help win
the war"
Campaign Opens Oct. Fl.
The campaign to get enlistment
pedges for the food administra-
ton will begin Oct. 81. During
all of October the Liberty loan
campaign will be carried on.
A. l.. Rogers, in charge Of
farm labor, reported that the
crops of the state are safe; that
many of them have been harvest
ed, and that there have been
lenty of farm hands.

WRITES OF JOYS OF PICNIC
One Man Seems to Have the Right
Idea Of What Outdoor Entertain
ment Should Be.

am partial to picncs-the spread,
side n stream-although l am not avid
for sandwiches unless hunger press
me, writes Charles S. Brooks in the
Yale Review. Rather, let there be q
skillet in the company and let q fire
be started. Nor need a picnic con-
sumo the day. In summer it requires
but the late afternoon, with such bor-
rowing of the night as is necessary
for the journey home. You leave the
street car, clanking with your bundles
like an itinerant tinman. You follow
a stream which on these lower
stretches, it is sad to say, is already
infected with the vices of the city.
Like many a countryman who has
come to town, it has fallen to dissi-
patton. 1t shows the marks of the
bottle. Farther Up, its course is clean
er. You cross it in the mud Was IL
not Christian who fell into the bog be-
cause of the burden on his back? Then
you climb a villainously long hill and
pop out upon an open platform above
the city.
The height commands a prospect to
the west. Below is the smoke Of q
thousand suppers. Up from the city
there comes the hum of life, now some
what fallen with the traffic of the day
as though nature already practiced
the tune for sending later her crea-
lures off 10 sleep. You light n fire.
The baskets disgOrge their secrets.
Ants and other leviathans think
eventually that n circus has come or
that bears are in the town. The chops
and bacon achieve their appointed des-
tiny. You throw the last bone across
your shoulder. 1t slips and rattles to
the river. The sun sets. Night like an

1T COSTS TO BE EXCLUSIVE
Carnegie and Other MiIlionaires Pay
High for Adjacent Property in Or
der to Protect Their Homes.

Possessing a mansion in the me-
tropolis apparently is not without its
troubles, observes the New York
Globe. Recently Andrew Carnegie
paid $1,75O,OOO for the privilege of
deciding who shall be his neighbors
to the south. A few years ago Mr..
Carnegie similarly protected himself
to the north, where a select colony of
homes has since been established.
In the case Of Mr.. Carnegie these
seemingly wasted millions work a
double purpose. In addition to pre-
venting undesirable construction
they become very profitable invest
ments, as the land is turned over
piece by piece to persons who will
pay handsomely for the privilege of
joining a millionaire's home colony.
Commodore Arthur Curtiss James
conducted a similar protective buy
ing movement on Park avenue. He
bought up all available lands ada
