Sammies On Heartbreaking
March Are FrOSt-Bitten

Valley Forge had nothing on
Somewhere in France, New Years
eve, 1917" said a young Chica-
goan, drawing his coat collar
closer around his head as a pro-
lection against the icy, wind
driven snow. my feet are swol-
len so darn big with the cold
that I'm afraid to take off my
those couldn't get 'em on
again"
After a supper of scorching hot
soup and stew, the Americans
crawled into barns and into the
ancient houses fully clothed, their
heads incased in knitted helmets.
Others burrowed into straw
piles. Others made their beds
under the flapping canvas covers
of motor trucks.
The mems New Years eve to-
night will be a mighty contrast to
the parties, the dances, the bright
lights and the fun Of one year
ago.
For 1918 the soldiers will
awake to salute the Stars and
Stripes. They will hike gingerly
along the bank of a canal and
wash their faces thru a hole in
the thick fee.
Altho the marchers of the GER
tain unit here described are men,
bers of picked division, dozens
dropped from the ranks, suffering
with swollen, frost-bitten feet on
their hike. A flotilla of flivver
ambulance forged thru the snow
banked roads to pick up the strag-
glers and carried them to hos
pitfalls.
A dozen wood-chopping camps
in the American zone are work
ing in long shifts supplying fuel
to hundreds of billets in which a
chill hangs in the air despite red
hot fires in the little drum-like
stoves.

watch Them

Pierce county dairymen announced few days
ago that they would raise milk prices the first of
the year because of the continued high price of
dairy feed"
Today comes an announcement of voluntary
reduction in feed prices by the Northwest milers.
Now what will our milkmen do when they meet
next Saturday night?
Their patrons will be watching to see if they are
out-and- out profteers or whether they are on the
side of Uncle Sam.
The price they decide on will speak the answer
right out loud.

ALLIES AGREE TO
FURNISH u. S. GUNS

Switching to the criticism OF
the ordnance department for its
failure to provide machine guns.
particularly Lewis guns, Cen.
Crozier declared the Lewis gun
never proved satisfactory In teGts
until May II this year.
When war was declared upon
Germany, Crozler said, all but
81, 100000 of $12,000,O00 pre-
viously appropriated for machine
guns had been expended thru
contracts for machine guns and
automatic rifles.
On April IL, on Crozier's rec
ommendation, the $1,500,000 was
invested In Lewis guns, which
Crozier said had been greatly Inn
proved since its earlier reflections.
There Is no record that Col.
Lewis, inventor of this gun, ever
offered his gun to this govern
ment free or at any price," de-
clared Crozier.

l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 81.
Great Britain and France have
agreed to supply artillery for all
the American troops sent to
France in 1918. They are pre-
pared to furnish 1t even longer II
necessary.
They must furnish 1t, because
America has neither the guns TO
send nor the ships to transport
them in.
This was the testimony today Of
Major General William c. Crozier,
chief OF ordnance, before the sem
ate military affairs committee.
Gen. Crozier put responsibility
for this condition upon the coun-
try as a whole for failure to pre-
pare.
las long ago as 1915, I and
other officers persistently urged
larger appropriations for field ar
tillery, medium heavy and heavy
artillery" said Gen. Crozier. THE
responsibility for our failure to
get it must rest upon the people
as whole"
Gen. CrOzier was recalled by
the committee to answer charges
of inefficiency and lack OF fore
sight made by previous witnesses.
He decanded that he be permitted
to make his explanation under
oath.
Reading from a carefully pre-
pared statement, he told how he
had arranged last summer with
Andre Tardieu, head OF the
French mission, for manufacture
| in French factories enough French
lis and 1856 millimeter howitzers
TO supply all American forces sent
to France to March /, 1918.
Emphatically denying the
american forces were taking from
France and England artillery
which France and England could
i not afford to give, General Crozier
read from a cablegram sent the
war department from France by
General Bliss, chief of staff, on
Dec. 8.
To save tonnage needed for
other things, the French and
English promised to provide this
artillery and ammunition for 1t.
Delivery of artillery to Gen.
Pershing's forces is now exceed
ing the promises Of manufacture
ers. Pershing has been getting
rs and 155-millimeter howitzers
in considerable quantities since
September.

WATER FREE
OF TYPHOID
DANGER NOW

CITY water is once more free
of typhoid danger, according to
announcement by the city water
department Monday, but Taco
mans are urged to boil their wa
ter a few days longer because of
the great amount Of impurities in
Il.
Supt. Kunigk of the water de-
partment said that all bursted
sewers in logging camps on the
banks of the Green river had
been repaired.
Heavy rainfall in the mountains
is causing great banks of clay
soil on the river bed to crumble
into the water constantly, caus-
ing 1t to remain muddy.
Half of the Mcmillan reser-
voir of the city system was
drained dry Sunday, for cleans
ing purposes, and city workmen
found 5000 cubic yards of heavy
black mud in the bottom of the
basin, according to Kunigk. This
will be sluiced out Monday, and
a supply of fresh water poured in.
Water department officials re-
ceived a scare Monday morning
when reports were received at
the city hall that flood waters
were undermining the big pipe
line on the Collins road, south of
Falkland. Investigation proved
that only a culvert was washing
out, and temporary repairs pre-
vented any damage. :.

TO ANSWER
FOR MURDER
OF CRIPPLE

Joe Harris, an alleged "yegg-
man." wanted in Tacoma in con-
nection with the murder two
years ago of Vernon Lindsey, a
cripple, was brought here from
Great Falls, Mont, Monday by
Detective Milone.
Harris denies any knowledge OF
the crime, but another "yegg.'
named johnson, who was SEN
fenced to Walla Walla for COM
plicity in 1t, has named Harris in
his confession, the police say.
Lindsey was killed in small
shack at 21st and Jefferson dur
ing a scuffle. The shack was &C.

HIT BY
TRAIN!

Pat Joyce, an aged flag
man at the 25th and Hood
street railroad crossing, was
almost instantly killed, and a
young boy miraculousIy es-
capped death Monday morning
when speeding Milwaukee
passenger train crashed into
wood truck driven by l..
NJ. Erdahl, 814 So. 25th st.
The wooden body of the truck
was knocked off by the impact.
1t struck the aged flagman
in the head. He died five min
utes later.
Erhdahl and his young son,
Clifton, age IL, who was
sitting in the drivers seat
with him, were thrown clear.
Both were stunned, but not badly
hurt. When Erdahl came to he
found his son pinned under body
of truck practically uninjured.
According to the story told by
Erdahl, he was driving the big
truck down the steep 25th
StTeeL NIL from JelleTSOH ave. AS
he neared the railroad crossing,
he said, the flagman failed to give
any signal or warning that a
train was approaching, and he
started to drive across.
1t was not until he had nearly
reached the center of the track
that he saw the Milwaukee train
coming.
Then he tried to speed up and
get his truck across, but it was
too late. The locomotive struck
the truck squarely in the center,
hurting the body of 1t thru the
air.
A corner of the body of the
truck struck Joyce in the center of
the forehead, splitting his head
open.
Police officials and thecoroners
office were unable to learn any
hing about Joyce up to late
hour. He was about 70 years.

INTERURBAN
IS PLANNED

A short-line interurban between
Tacoma and Seattle may be con-
structed during the coming year.
G. E. Muckler, who obtained a
franchise for the Seattle-Tacoma
Short Line several years ago, OBJ
tanned a years extension to the
franchise from the city council
Monday. The franchise was to
have expired Dec. 81.
The promoter told city council
men that his company had already
spent 100000 on the project
and that he believed the line
would be built during the coming
year.
The new interurban project
crosses the tideflsts by way of
Lincoln ave-, goes over the east
side hill at Northeast Tacoma,
and proceeds in a straight line to
Seattle. Trains could make the
trip In less than As minutes,
Muckler says.
