Tacoma Fighter Now Is
Reported Wounded Again

The first time he was hit by a
German bullet he refused to leave
the front, but stuck to his post.
Now Lieut.. John Moring of the
Canadian troops, whose home was
in Tacoma until the war began,
has been seriously wounded again,
according to word received here
today.
Mrs. Moring, at Toronto, has re-
ceived the short official message
informing her that her husband
was wounded in action April 8.
The Mornings lived in Tacoma
eight years. Their home was at
American lake. Moring was en-
ployed with the n. P. railway.
When the war broke out he imme-
diately left for Toronto, where he
signed up with the rank of SER
geant-major.
In order to get to the fighting
line at the earliest possible mo-
ment, he got transferred to regi-
ment about to leave, reverting to
the rank of sergeant, a rank he
had throughout the war in South
Africa. Apparently he was pro-
NOTED to a lieutenancy on the field

German Officers the
Brutes, SayCanadians

"The Canadian soldiers tell me
the steel helmets are the greatest
blessings they have on the war
front. They use them as kettles
to cook their meals in, as dishes
to eat and drink out of, as basins
to wash their hands and feet in;
and then they stick them on their
heads as they go to battle against
the Huns"
Earl P. Rouse, Tacoma engi-
mere, back from Toronto today,
brought with him many stories Of
trench life, of the heroism of the
Canadian fighters in the terrific
slaughter on the western front,
gained first hand from wounded
veterans with whom he talked.
Canadians Bitter.
1.-THE Canadians everywhere are
bitter, determined. There is
hardly family that has not lost
a son or a father. Everywhere
you go you see veterans, back
from the front, with arms and
legs gone, or with faces married
and shattered. Some of them
have been driven out Of their
minds by the terrible scenes of
carnage and suffering on the bat
tie line.
1.-The Canadian veterans gener-
ally deny most of the reports of
cruelty and barbarism on the
part of German soldiers which
reach US. They do confirm the
reports of firing on the Red Cross
workers and of bayoneting the
wounded, but they place most OF
i the blame on the officers.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA.
Final plans for sending an
American fighting force to France
we're discussed at two-hour con-
ference between Marshal Joffre,
members of his staff and Secre-
tary of War Baker and Major Gen.

At the conclusion, Secretary of
Baker authorized the following
statement:
The visit of Marshal Joffre and
his staff was for a general sum-
ming up of conferences going on

Joffre shows the racking effort
of continuous travel. He appeared

German officers, say the Ca

officers chained men to the ma

bullets of the advancing allies.
Canadians everywhere have
the highest praise for America,

who are fighting with the allies.

Justice to Mountain

EDITOR THE TINES:

question of the name of the noun
tain will never be settled right
while it leaves behind II a sense
of injustice, a spirit of antagon-

as has been the case in the past

the Cornfield lesson. They did not
need any book to learn about the

that gun is very terrible thing and
that it is better to go without corn
than to run any risk of falling to the
ground from one of the shots sent into
the air.
s'They learned that Men and Boys
were apt to guard the Cornield, and
one Cornf1eld they had left entirely
alone because they thought there was
always a Man standing with a gun
waiting. In reality it was a Scarce

a man and scare the Crows away.

With that dreamer's part of her that
she had inherited from her dead and
gone father, she was quietly worship

was working, too-the practical brain
that she had got from her mothers
side.
"What about your washing?" she in

maid, twenty-five cents week, she'll

things to ribbons. And I'll mend

you're really rather wonderful, Miss
Page. Here am I, lodged, fed, washed,
ironed and mended for seven dollars
and seventy-five cents a week!'
II hope" said Sidney severely, shat
you'll put what you save in the bank"
He was still somewhat dazed when
he went up the narrow staircase to
his swept and garnished room. Never,
in all Of a life that had been active
until recently-had he been SO con-
scious of friendliness and kindly inter-
est. He expanded under it. Some of
the tired lines left his face.
"New underwear for yours tOmOr-
row, K. LIE Moyne," he said to himself,
as he unknotted his cravat. "New I'M
derwear, and something besides Z. for
a first name"
He pondered over that for time,
taking soff his shoes slowly and think
ing hard. Kenneth, King, Kerr"
None of them appealed to him. And,
after all, what did 1t matter? The
old heaviness came over him.
Sidney did not sleep much that night.
She lay awake, gazing into the scented
darkness, her arms under Ter head.
Love had come into her life at tast. A
man-only Joe, of course, but 1t was
not the boy himself, but what he stood
for, that thrilled her-had asked her
to be his wife.
The desire to be loved! There was
coming to Sidney a time when love
would mean, not receiving but giving
the divine fire instead of the pale dame
of youth. At last she slept.
A night breeze came through the win
dows and spread GOODNESS through the
little house. The ailanthus tree
waved in the moonlight and sent
sprawling shadows over the wall Of

SELDOM ENDED BY NEUTRALS
Great Majority of Big Wars Of the
Past Have Been Fought to-a
Complete Finish.

Just how much ice does neutral cut
with the belligerents az war? Open
your history and see.
Only one great war in recent times
was ended by neutral. No neutral
ever ended one of Frederick the
Greats conflicts.
The Napoleonic wars ran over a
period of 20 years. No campaign had
a period inserted after it by neutral
power.
We fought the American Revolution
to a conclusion, as the seven years
war and the accompanying struggle be-
tween France and England had been
fought to finish never needing the
word of neutral.
Bismarck engineered three impor-
tant wars against Denmark, Austria,
and France. He won all, and stopped
when he was ready, but not when q
neutral suggested it.
Neutrals talked and suggested an
end of the Civil war long before Lee
and Johnston surrendered their armies,
but Lincoln's idea was that a peace
that left the real issue unsettled meant
that tens of thousands Of soldiers
would have died in vain.
The Crimean war ended when the
belligerents got good and ready. So
did the Boer war end when one com-

CHAPTER l..

The Street stretched away north
and south in two lines of ancient
houses that seemed to meet in the dis
lance, 1t had the well-wOrn look of an
old coat, shabby but comfortable. 1t
was an impression of home, really,
that it gave. There was house across
and a little way down the Street, with
a card in the window that said: Meals,
TWENTY-FIVE cents.' The Nottingham
curtains were pinned back, and just in
eide the window throaty baritone was
singing:
Home is the hunter, home from the hill;
And the sailor, home from the sea.
For perhaps an hour Joe Drummond
had been wandering down the Street.
His slender shoulders, squared and
resolute at eight, by nine had taken on
a disconsolate droop. Prayer meet
ing at the corner church was over; the
Street emptied. The boy wiped the
warm band Of his hat and slapped it
on his head again. All!
Across the Street, under an old allan
thus tree, was the house he watched, a
small brick, with shallow wooden steps
and-curious architecture of the Mid
die West siXties-a wooden cellar door
beside the steps. In some curious way
IT preserved an air of distinction among
it's newer and more pretentious neigh
bors. The taller houses had an appear
ance of protection rather than of pat
ronage. It was matter of self-respect,
perhaps. No windows on the Street
were so spotlessly curtained, no door
mat so accurately placed, no yard" in
the rear so tidy with morning-glory
vines over the whitewashed fence.
The June moon had risen. When the
girl came out at last, she stepped out
into a world of soft lights and waver-
ing shadows, fragrant with tree bios
SONS hushed of it's daylight sounds.
The house had been warm. Her brown
hair lay moist on her forehead, her thin
white dress was turned in at the
throat. She stood on the steps and
threw out her arms in swift gesture
to the cool air. From across the Street
the boy watched her with adoring,
humble eyes. All his courage was for
those hours when he was not with her.
"Hello, Joe''
'Hello, Sidney"
He crossed over, emerging out of the
shadows into her enveloping radiance!
His ardent young eyes worshiped her
as he stood on the pavement.
"Pm late. / was taking out hastings
Cor mother"
ooh, that's all right"
Sidney sat down on the doorstep, and
the boy dropped at her feet. She set
tied herself more comfortably and
drew a long breath.
SLOW tired am OH haven't told
you. We've taken a roomer !" She
was half apologize. The Street did
not approve of roomers. "It will help
with the rent. It's my doing, really.
Mother is Scandalized."
Joe was sitting bolt upright now, a
little white.
'Is he young?
"He's a good bit older than you, but
shafts not saying he's old"
Joe was twenty-one, and sensitive Of
his youth.
Hell be crazy about you in two
days."
She broke into delightful laughter.

The boy fell into the ecstasy of content
that always came with Sidney's pres
ence. Els inarticulate young soul was
swelling with thoughts that he did not
know low to put into words. 1t was
easy enough to plan conversations with
Sidney when he was away from her.
But, at her feet, with her soft skirts
touching him as she moved, her eager
S4ce turned to him. he was miseTably
