One year ago we asked the peo-
pie to support a bond issue for
100000 to purchase 10000
acres of prairie land for the great
est army post in the United States.
At that time this was the greatest
thing that had ever been offered
the city or county.
Since this project was carried
thru and was established we have
landed some of the larges ship
building plants in the nation and
still other projects entailing pos
sibly even greater benefits than
any we have yet guaranteed our
selves are knocking at our doors.
To open the doors will require
united people. BY getting togeth-
er and concerted. consistent and
continual pulling together we can
bring to Tacoma projects that will
fix our destiny and settle for AL
time the question as to which city
Is to become the metropolis of the
Pacific coast.

Armour Predicts 8 Big Potato
Waste" If your paper prints an

Do you, or Mr.. Armour, know
that it costs at the very least $40
a ton to grow and place ton Of
potatoes on the market?
With help conditions the way
they are this year, 1t will prob
ably cost considerable more than
that.
Many of the farmers wives
helped to harvest the crop and are
now helping to sort out of the cell
lars. A potato digger alone costs
upwards of 5000, and we have to
store our crop with lumber high,
making the expenses enormous.

between the fishing boats Defend

Glitch took the stand Monday
to describe the accident. When
he saw the Superior bearing down

Then the Defenders bow hit
him.
"Take-a dat" he testified Ba-

Defends Italians
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDllOh lf1E IlMES
In Fridays issue of your paper
the Italian army was slandered in
the lowest manner, not by a gen.
eral who might be competent to
pass a judgment, nor a colonel or
a captain, but merely by a non
commissioned officer.
For Sergeant Mirat to set up
and express his thought as tho he
was competent to Judge is too alb
surd, egotictic and is sheer mis-
representation.
It takes man of better qualifi-
cations to understand and appre-
ciate the valor of an army which
has been victorious for two years
and one-half. No one so far has
been able to understand what
caused this sudden reverse, except
what Sergeant Mirat says, that
they threw up their hands"
Where he got this information is
beyond anyone's understanding.
up to this time 80 far as the re-
ports show, and no one has any
reason to doubt them, 1t was that
the Germans and Austrians were
four to one against the Italians.
On the other hand l may express
my individual opinion by saying
that IL the Italian soldiers were
downhearted 1t was because a few
men of Sergeant Mirat's type have
caused the Italian people to mis-
trust the French.
They were told by Croats and
Bulgarians which were among
them, who by the way spoke per-
fleet Italian so no one suspected
them, that Italy was in a rcvolu-
ton and that the French and Eng.
lish soldiers were slaughtering
their people in order to put them
down. This coupled with the mis-
trust which the Italian people
have for the French was sufficient
to downhearten the Italian army.
On the other hand Sergeant Mirat
must not forget that If France is
not over-run by Germans and that
Germany is not victorious in the
war, it is because of Italy's en-
trance in the war.
This judge of military tactics
would make us believe that to
fight the Germans now is nothing
but child's play, of course we
would like to think that, but II
the Germans are SD beaten as Ser
geant Mirat represents them to be,
why should Uncle Sam be Obliged
to furnish an army in order to lick
them. They themselves ought to
be able to take care of them.
Let Sergeant Mirat not be de-
ceived as to Germany's power and
let him not be so free to judge
other peoples actions when he IL
not confNetent to do so.
Very truly yours,

PEACE FACTION STARTS
AFICHT IN A. F. OF L,

A nationwide pro-American
propaganda campaign to offset
the secret pro-German propaganda
in the ranks of American workers
is being planned by the American
Federation of Labor, it was
learned today.
The quiet preparation of this
campaign, which has been going
on for week, is looked upon by
President Gompers as one of the
most important developments of
the federation's convention.
The outward and visible signs
of this propaganda will be speech
making by labor leaders, who will
make carefully mapped tours
among the different classes of Ia
Dor, explaining the federation s
pro-government attitude, warning
labor against the influence of
German sympathizers and i'm
pressing upon it the urgent war
need of full and uninterrupted
production.
The first speaker in this list
will start his work within a few
days If the convention ends here
Saturday. He is John Hill, fra
ternal delegate to the convention
from the British trades union
congress. He will make speeches
before the shfpyard labor groups
on both coasts.
In addition to this, there will
be an army of secret labor agents.
President Gompers feels that
practically all local labor troubles
since America entered the war
are traceable to German agents
and that the governments atti-
tude is broad and fair enough to
permit speedy and satisfactory
settlement Of all disputes II SIMS
ter influences can be kept from
befogging the atmosphere.

is now. The people should at once
organize and be ready to take part
In the forward movement. We
should have a club in every school
house community, with no cost for
membership and extended hane
for the cooperation of every man,
woman and child in the commun-
ity. / wish tn L the word might
60 out that Tacoma is a city COM
pletely organized with every re-
spectacle person in 1t, whether he
represents millions or not a dol
lar in the wealth of the city, shall
be busy In great movement for
100000 increase in population in
1918.
We can get them IL we go after
them right now. Then let us get
busy, get up our clubs, get to-
gether, get acquainted, get each
others viewpoints, find out what
our communities need and what
our city needs and then be in posi-
ton to go after those needs in a
way that wins.
The ways are opening up for
Tacoma. A united and deter
mined people here can work a
municipal miracle. The iron is
hot, let us strike and shape a
destiny for our city that will at
tract the attention of the world.
Don't wait for somebody else,

to take up the various subjects
that are now alive with interest
and meaning for Tacoma.
