TO HEAR
JORDAN

DR.. David Starr Jordan, cham
cellor of Stanford university. In
coming to Tacoma and will speak
at the Public Forum next Sunday
evening on THE War and After"
DIR. Jordan has been one of the
leading peace advocates OF the
country. Being one OF the fore
most scientists in this country, he
has always opposed war from the
biological standpoint.
A year ago he spoke before the
Forum on rs War Eternal?"
Since war was declared between
the United States and Germany
DR.. Jordan has not spoken either
against or for war. The address
at the Forum will be awaited with
great interest as 1t Is his first
declaration on the subject.
The Forum managing commit
tee has been assured by Or. Jor-
dan that he "abhors the whole
German system from It's efficiency
to its divine sanctions; that The
difference between German wrong
and American right is so vast
that decided to meet the pfac-
tical necessities of the case by
standing by America right; and
I'VE can support our country, help
to keep alive the higher instincts
of our people. and, while We fight
to overthrow the German system
think our way thru to new world
order; "for us at least the war
was a dreadful necessity forced
upon the nation by German insan-
ity. an insanity incapable of un-
derstanding anything but armed
resistance"
The Forum meets at Z o'clock
in the auditorium OF the First
Congregational church.

Broadway Mourns Coming Gloom
(Spccial TO The Times.)

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-What
will New York do with its GREAT
DIM WAY? How can the visitor
from GAINESVILLE. Oshkosh, or Ma
rion Center get along when the
big bright kitten that plays with
the ball OF electric yarn vanishes
tonight from Broadway forever?
1t simply cant be done; at least
that is the plea of the fearful
members of the Broadway associ-
alton waiting tremblingly the fatal
blow.
A special committee sent to
Washington to see this man who
threatened to turn the Big Glim-
mer into the Great Gloom, re-
turned with downcast mein. Some
hope a compromise may be
reached by which every second
bulb may be taken from the signs.
And some see no hope, and have a
melancholy vision of Broadway lit
with flaring gasoline torches, a la
circus tent.
The theatrical managers and
cafe proprietors along what may
become the Great Dark Way made
the strongest kind of plea. They
think it would be a shame to de-
prive the Edison Electric company
of the revenue from the Bulbs
That Bloom on Broadway"
Also. they see n terrible strain
on the traffic cops. Anybody who
has tried to negotiate the shell
craters, front line trenches and
trick bridges the subway con-
struction has made of Broadway
knows navigation of that street
without the electric signs Is quite
impossible, said one merchant.
Think what II will cost the city
to put up more street lamps" add
ed another.
George Cohan Is reported as oh
serving that Broadway without the
bright lights will be Forty-five
Minutes From Nowhere at All.
A. II. Woods, theatrical man.
ager, is of the opinion that the
great proposed gloom will be
equivalent to putting the street
into cold storage.
OF course everybody wants to
help win the war, but to sacrifice
the night lights of Broadway.
That is indeed much too much.

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The response of the people to
my suggestion Monday that the
time Is here for Tacomans to get
together and put this city on the
map SO 1t can never again be over
looked, has met with such unan-
imous expression and cooperation
/ am encouraged to believe our
citizens realize the opportunities
present.
1t is evident there must be or
ganization. 1t Is apparent also
that 1t must be more general and
more expressive of the spirit of
progress In our people than any
thing that has existed in the past.
Many plans have been proposed
and suggestions offered to bring
about the desired cooperation. 1t
seems to be agreed that the thing
essential is to get everybody busy
and for this purpose workers and
leaders must be enlisted in every
section. President Marks Of the
borough of Manhattan reports
great success in New York city
achieved thru community clubs or
committees. An adaptation of
the idea could be worked out
easily here. taking the thirty or
more schools as the centers and
