Probably nearly every regular feller,
 aud regular girl as we'll, has longed
 n ore or less for adventures with pi-
 r7ifes of some sort. We used to read
 ot taking the canvass off Long Tom,
 as the big gun of the merchant ship
 Was called and bringing it to bear on
 the mnrderous pirate of whatever na-
 tionali:y the author happened to de-
 pict And we thrilled with the thought
 of what that smashing rouad cannon
 t;ll would do to the staunch wooden
 ship. In the light of recent develop
 nents all that was indeed only childs
 play. For tittilation of the nerves
 rone of those writers of pirate stories ever devised anything half so effec- tive as is happening every day in
 the zone invested by German subma- ines. The pirate ship was visible The
 fighting took place a: close quarters even Long Tom was good for only a
 small fraction of a mile. Now when the underwater fighter draws near u ere may be only a little ripple on II water. Many ripples are proba- bly imagined for every one that is real and indicates an enemy. Then there is the snuspense as to whether the powerful torpedo will strike the ship. There is the rythmc throb of engines and the moment of exultation because tie torpedoe's onrush has been in vein. The undersea monster comes 70 the surface and the small rhed cannon crash out their salute. One, two, three g, cts and the deadly shells splash the water close to the enemy ship glist- ening from it's immersion. Then one shot goes home and the doomed vessel shows that it is hurt. Another shell crushes to her Vitals and perhaps an other The doomed thing loses head way falters on it's course, settles deeper II, the water and soon tips up and sinks.

FOG CAUSES
3 SMASH-UPS

Three minor automobile acct
dents occurred Friday morning
because of the heavy fog that
blanketed Tacoma.
At 1880 o'clock the rent auto
of Peter Marino collided with the
car of j. Dwight Elder. The ac-
cident occurred at North 9th and
| streets and both cars were badly
smashed. The two men called at
police headquarters and asked that
a policeman be sent out to act as
judge over the responsibility for
the collision. Officer Edwards
decided that the accident was UNI
avoidable.
DIR. w. S. Pascoe's touring car
collided with the Ford of f. L.
Drake at goth and Tacoma ave.
about $3.50 a. M. Both cars were
wrecked so badly that extensive
repairs are necessary. Neither
man was hurt.
Frank Martin, chauffeur of a
delivery auto for the North End
Market, was taken to the Tacoma
General hospital as the result of
collision with another auto. He
was badly cut by glass.

Appetite Too Good

A hunger strike threatened by
Miss Nellie Lindsey, alleged boot
logger in the city jail, who COM

Nellie forgot all about her threats
and ate her mush, meat and po-
tatoes, with evident relish.

woman, his client, could not have

ant. Prison rules forbid it. Nell

New Bunke rs Cut
Cost of Work

With new gravel bunkers estab-

and new auto truck for the
street department due Monday,
Commissioner Atkins announced
Friday that the department
would be able to handle gravel
for street repair work at one
eighth the former cost.
The bunkers will be operated
by gravity, and are established on
a city street, thus costing nothing
for the gravel. Trucks can be
loaded for 7 to 10 cents yard,
as compared to the present cost
of As cents, Atkins said.
Repair work will begin as
soon as the newly purchased
truck arrives.

Russia Now Will
Take Bigger Part
In Pushing War

connection with the distribution of
the food supply of the country.
Some members of the government
were suspected of pro-Germanism.
1t was not considered possible
for a moment that Russia would
betray her allies, but it was realiz-
ed that the then prime minister,
Sturmer, might put his influence
forward for a premature confer
ence of the belligerents.
Backed BY People.
On all these grounds the duma
demanded definitely responsible
government. This demand was
supported by the upper house.
And behind the duma were
these public organizations in
which all classes we're represented
land owners, peasants, members
of the liberal professions, manu-
facturers and workmen-in fact
the Russian people.
A few days after the duma had
issued its ultimatum the ministers
of war and of the navy addressed
the duma, reporting upon the
work of their departments, prais-
ing the public organizations that
were working for the support Of
the army and stating that there
must be cooperation between the
duma and the government.
A few days later the prime min
lister resigned.
Tries But Fails.
The new prime minister at
tempted honestly to work with the
duma. He tried to rid himself OF
colleagues in whom neither he nor
the duma had confidence. He
failed, however, and was in turn
dismissed, and frankly reaction
ary minister was appointed.
When the duma convened fin
ally on February 81 it declared
that the new government did not
represent responsible government.
In the meantime the food situation
in the large urban centers had be-
come a real crisis. Then came the
edict dissolving the duma. After
trying moral persuasion to no pur-
pose the duma had to resort TO
revolutionary methods.
The revolution is purely po-
litical revolution, with the single
aim of establishing responsible
government. The duma leaders
will be able to hold the confidence
of the people.
Helped by Army
The duma is supported by the
army, for the army would have
starved but for the work of the
public organizations, the presi-
dents OF which are among the
duma leaders.
The revolution is political but
not anti-dynastic. Every effort
was made to convince the emperor
that he could safely trust the peo-
Pile, that the people were really
loyal to him and whole heartedly
back of the war, but II seemed inn
possible to gain his ear.
Finally the aim of the move
ment and its justification is to Sc
cure conditions which will make
it possible for Russia to put for
ward all her strength for the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war.
Last summer leaders of the
duma said to me:
Perhaps we will have to have
O revolution before we can win
the war"
These same leaders saw then
and admitted the danger of such a
move,
