That the local oil shortage will soon

its chances Of getting more will be

in fact it is the principal factor up
on which the national life of a
nation exists. Many of US. when
we refer to patriotism, do not
really comprehend the meaning of
the word. The dictionary. if l
remember correctly, gives us for a
meaning: Love of country; loyal" :"
1t is all of this and a great deal
more. And it has seemed to me,
as [ have pondered on this subject
that another word could have been
inserted there and one that would
have been appropriate and that
word is sacrifice''--in time of need.
When we speak of patriotism,
we usually mean it in connection
with the country of which we be-
long and that is the way | am 60
ing to use it here this afternoon.
History has taught US that the
American people are a patriotic
people and their patriotism had
made them a triumphant people
because they were united in their
patriotism for one cause: to keep
the lights of independence burn
ing. Most of us are acquainted
with the struggles the Revolution
ary Fathers had with the hard
ships and deprivations they had to
undergo. But they finally won
out and the one dominant factor
that has stood out above all the
rest, was their patriotism to their
colonies.
When we pause to consider how
much patriotism we owe to this
country, it would be we'll for us to
think how much the Stars and
Stripes-the emblem of the COnsti-
tution-means to US. Now what
more worthy cause could there be
to inspire patriotism in the breasts
of men and women than the Stars
and Stripes and the Goddess of
Liberty. Your friends NAV tell
you all about the great and illus
trious land of Canada; others may
tell you of their ideal lands across
the sea, but l notice that these
same people hover mighty close to
the greatest land that Gods bright
sun has ever shown on-the United
States of North America. To-day
as we read the numerous reports
that are broadcast that America
is open to foreign invasion we
cannot but feel that unless they all
come over together there would be
but one result: defeat and election
of the enemy.
But we should give serious con-
sideration to problems that are
pointed out to US in the different
periodicals. Personally l do not
believe that the American nation
could ever be subdued, but when
our leading army and naval ex-
perts show us by their theories and
demonstrate to us that these are
facts, we should do something to
remedy them.
Many Of our eminent writer's
tell US that our patriotism is on the
decrease; again l disagree with
them. To some people we should
have to carry a gun on our
shoulders at all times in order to
convince them that we were
patriotic.
When the Spanish-American
War broke out l was only boy,
but l can remember, very we'll
how after school, we would 60
down near the recruiting station
and watch with envious eyes the
boys flocking in to join their
colors. Why, they had to turn
them away! And 1 wish to call
your attention to the fact that
statistics show that about one-half
of the men who enlisted never
were called on for duty, something
that no other nation in the world
can boast of. And I do not think

got mixed up with this internal
European life and death struggle
1t seems that the editor of this
paper has run his limit on the
most rabid inflammatory war agi-
tatfon any person could be guilty

very much regret the fact that
the editor will not only cause a
great injury to this papers circu-
lation but at the same time will
kill true American patriotism.
Will the editor please note the
fact that the masses of this nation
can not be stampeded into a crazy
European war. Especially such
responsible pro-English agitation
as this editor attempts to force
upon its readers. The editorial of
March 28 has no doubt dealt the
solar plexus of many Times read
ers.
Every agitator of war must
show his true meaning by enlist
ing and going to the front in the
highest of flying hail of lead. That
will soon bring him to his senses,
and influence him to talk peace

A Farmers View

EDITOR THE TIMES:
/ do not believe that your asser-
ton that a large majority of the
people are in favor of war with
Germany or any other country is
true.
l know 1t is not among the
farmers and others of the labor
Ing class who are expected to fill
the ranks In such an event. My
father was a soldier in the Civil
war, and what he told me of the
conditions both on the battlefields,
In the camps and in the hospital
Is enough to warn me and my boys
from seeking a like experience.
Hence / am glad Senator Jones
is opposed to the presidents plans,
and l have never been a support
er Of the senator. The times de-
mand men like Senator LaFol-
lette, who will stand firm and fill
buster If need be against militar-
ism. One thing ! feel sure, the
advocates Of war will have to do

Officers From

LONDON, April 2.-Uncle Sam
can have plenty of experienced
officers from the Canadian-Amer-
lean legion-if England will let
them transfer their fighting activ-
tiles to their home flag. And the
best information here today was
that England would be willing to
make such a transfer.
Capt. John Manning of Florida,
q former captain in the Philip
pine constabulary, and now COM
manding company in the Cana
dian-American legion, training in
England, today wrote the secre-
tary of war, formally offering his
services in the event of war.
"If there are hostilities," Capt.
Manning told the United Press to-
Gay, Capt. Burr of Columbus, o.,
Major Guthrie of Massachusetts,,
Capt. Goodwin of Galveston (he's
an ex-quartermaster of the Ameri-
can army transport Ruford)
Lieut.. Robb of Vermont, Major
Pittman, a member of a promi-
nent Kansas City family, and a
former Missouri militia officer;
Major Hart of Brooklyn, N. Y,
formerly disciplinarian at Elmira
reformatory; Major Rasmussen

lean legion will offer their SER

The manager couldn't UNDER

persisted his wife. So up to the

found, not one go-cart, but two!
The carts were as good as new.
They had been shipped there to
have a part in some vaudeville
act. and had been left behind when
the actors left.

1t was time for Mrs. Myers to
be elated. So Manager Myers
called up The Times, and The
Times called up the matron at
the county hospital. and today the,
go-carts are on the way to Mary.
But that isn't all. A few min
yates later Ethan Allen, of the

Olof Bull
TO THE PEOPLE OF TACOMA

TO THE PEOPLE OF TACOMA:
For over a quarter of a CEN
fury Mr.. Olof Bull has been the
nucleus around which has devel-
oped the musical sentiment of this
section. To him largely belongs
the credit for making Tacoma the
musical center of the northwest.
He had already achieved dis
tinetion when in 1890 he came to
take charge of the Tacoma thea
ter orchestra. In the years that
followed the music of his violin
there and elsewhere-for he al
ways gave his services freely
inspired hundreds of thousands,
his pupils today cover the world
and his capability and Willingness
to aid others has made him an in
despensable factor in the history
of constructive musical work in
Tacoma. Ii an Orpheum club, a
Swedish singing society, ladies'
musical club, st. Cecilia society,
IL any organization of musicians
was to be effected, the assistance
of Olof Bull was always freely
given. He has been leader, teach
er, counsellor, friends to every
one, old and young, whoever felt
the divine touch of art within his
soul in all the northwest.
II is therefore fitting that the
musical genius he has been so
prominent in helping to develop,
now, as he Is confined in hospi-
tai by injuries that remove him
for the time from the field of
active musical endeavor, should
be moved to an appreciation of
his long and painstaking service
such as is contemplated in. the
great complimentary musical fes-
tival to be given for him here
about the middle of April.
| know Olof Bull. know of
his unselfish life and service for
others and | am glad he is to be
shown this mark of appreciation.
And nothing could show 1t SO ap-
propriately as for the musicians
of the northwest to unite in a
great concert complimentary to
him.
When this splendid musical
event arrives l hope our people
Will show an appreciation that
will in some measure at least give
recognition to the debt Of graft
tude all Tacoma owes to Olof Bull.
Yours very truly,
A. V. FAWCETT,
Mayor of Tacoma.

WARRANT IS
NOT NEEDED

Actual possession of a criminal
warrant in making arrests Is not
necessary, SO long as the arresting
officer explains that a warrant has
been issued for the prisoner. This
was Justice Linck's ruling Monday
in the trial Of Mrs. Adeline Sher-
man, Tony and Clarence Cortz,
charged with resisting Officer
Shafer when he was arresting
Tony.
Mrs. Sherman maintained that
she tried to prevent Shafer from
arresting Tony, her son, because
no warrant was produced. The
trio were fined $40 each.

FIREMAN IS
LEFT WITHOUT
HIS PENSION

After summoning +. A. Nor
gan, pensioned fireman, all the
way from Prosser, Wash, for a
hearing on the merits of his PEN
sion, the firemen's pension board
peremptorily cut off the fireman S
allowance Monday and left him
without an income. Morgan was
injured in fire three years ago
and has been unable to work
since.
Because the pension fund is
overdawn, and shows signs of 60
ing further into debt each month,
the board decided 1t would have
to cut out several pensions. Nor
gan was the first to suffer. There
was no evidence that he was able
to return to. work. In fact, Nor
gan was not even allowed to tes-
tify before the board as to his
condition. He already has 1929
due him In back pensions.
II am supporting my family on
this pension, and cannot work."
explained Morgan afterwards. II
was hurt in the service of the
city. II seems unfair that ]
should be made to suffer, simply
because the pension fund is ex-
hausted."
Morgan announced that he
would sue the city for his PEN
sion, unless the board reinstated
him. .t

that far enough, and the rest OF

same; that there wouldn't be any
war because all war is for IL

DRILLING
AT CAMP

Water-logged but still in good
spirits, Washington national
suardsmen were busy Monday put
ting the finishing touches on the
End regiment camp at American
lake which were made impossible
by the heavy rain storm Sunday.
The kitchens are being complet-
ed, the tents are being put in Or
der, and the men are trying hard
to dry out themselves and their
equipment.
When the sun came out for 10
minutes Monday morning, there
was swift scramble to spread ev-
erything out in an attempt to
evaporate some Of the water that
had soaked in.
With the prospect of some clear
weather Monday afternoon, the Of
ficers were hoping to have every
thing in tip-top shape in a few
hours.

Lieut.. Col. Darlington, but we ex-
pect to have the camp running

Meanwhile, Capt. Coburn, the U

mastering in the regiment, is pre-
pairing the papers for transferring
the troops into the federal service
By the end of the week It is ex-
pected all the men will have been

A big tent is being prepared for
the examination of the men, with
q blazing fire to keep the chilled
soldiers warm when they strip for
the test.
Active drilling probably will be-
gin Tuesday morning. The old
timers will go through the drills
apart from the rockies" who will
receive their first instructions in
the art of war from separate Of
ficers.
In spite of the rain that fell ali
day, many visitors spent Sunday al
Camp Cosgrove. Nearly every sol.
dier's tent shielded some friend,
and women could be seen bravina
the storm wearing army overcoats
and hats.
