Oliver Hazard Perry, hero Of
Lake Erie, was ~ years of age
when he entered the United States
navy as a midshipman.
He was born at South Kingston,
r. l., Aug. 81, 1885. He served
in the Tripolitan war and was in
the Mediterranean in 1904, as
lieutenant.
At the beginning of the War of
1912 Perry commanded fleet of
II gunboats off Newport harbor.
firing of inactive service, he
asked to be transferred to the
lakes which the British held.
There Perry fought one of the
most brilliant battle of the war.
The American fleet consisted of
one brig, one schooner, three
sloops and three gunboats, headed
by the flagship Lawrence. In the
British fleet were six ships which
had more guns than Perry's eight.
He met the enemy off Putin
Bay, near Sandusky, o., on the
morning of Sept. 10, 1918.
At the masthead of the Law
renee waved a flag on which were
the famous commanders words,
Don't give up the ship"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-04-14

The Lawrence was the center of
fire by the enemy. 1t was badly
wrecked and nearly the whole
crew was disabled, when Commo-
dore Perry and the half dozen Of
ficers left lowered a boat. Carry
ing the commander flag. Perry
was rowed over to the Niagara,
while shots from the British ships
burst about them.
That incident made Perry the
hero of Lake Erie. 1t put more
confidence in his men and they
fought on with such vigor they
captured six prizes and won one of
the most famous victories of the
war.
After the battle, Perry wrote
Gen. Harrison, in command of the
land forces:
1--WE have met the enemy and
they are ours; two ships, two
briggs, one schooner and one
sloop."
Perry was made captain and CO.
operated with Gen. Harrison in an
invasion of Canada. In 1919 he
commanded the naval station in
the West Indies, and fell a vic
tim to yellow fever there, Aug. %,
1920.

Flowers, Too
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
We would like. to suggest that
in planting the vacant lots of the
city to vegetables the custom fol-
lowed in eastern cities of plant
ing a row of flowers along the
street side of the lots be adopted,
as It has been found by expert
ence that this custom of having a
row of flowers along with the
vegetables helps very much in
sustaining interest in the garden
work.
The flowers do not require any
different treatment or more work
than the vegetables, II the easily
grown ANNALS are planted, and
the effect on the workers is very
noticeable, while II adds mate
rally to the beauty of the city.
Among the ANNALS suitable for
this purpose may be mentioned
Shirley and California peoples,
godetian, or satin flowers. snap
dragons, bachelor buttons or corn
flowers, marigolds, calliopsis,
clarkias, larkspurs, mignonetts,
petunia, scablosa, salpiglossis,
schizanthus, verDenas and zin-
MAS.
Many OF these can be had in
the penny packages at the depart
ment stores, and 10 to rs cents
invested In this manner will go
a long ways towards helping make
Tacoma a mass of bloom and
beauty-spot this summer.
Every cottage garden in the
city should also make gay show
ing of flowers this summer to
greet the tourists.
Let's show our visitors what a
wonderful variety of flowers and
colors we can produce in addition
to the roses. Let us have flowers
from early summer until the
frosts of winter
All that is needed is a little
thought and labor-the expense
will be nominal. Make use of the
garden books In the llbrary-a
list OF them will be furnished by
the librarian on request.
The little town of Waukon, Ia,
is to have red geraniums In every
yard, more than million mas
turtiums blooming in the town,
window boxes, perfect lawns and
lovely flower beds on every street.
AS Waukon only has about 1000
Inhabitants Tacoma should have
so times as many Towering plants,
window boxes, perfect lawns,
etc, as the Iowa city, as our pop
ulation is that much larger. Let's
get the pace for beauty among the
northwestern cities.

Foolish Germans

EDITOR THE TINES:
=. o foolish Germans, who hath
bewitched you? Are ye SO foolish
that you will let your childhood
prejudices warp your reason now
when you are grown?
Know We not that the worst that
the United States will ever try to
do to Germany will be to make 1t
the best republic on earth? Verify
you should approve of this and
work for the same end.
Be it known unto you that mill
lions of Germans at home will CO.
operate with America by doing like
unto the Russians. What will we
do? The real German victory
cometh not by violence and dyna-
mite (here in America.)
mite (here in America).
persistence in violence and treach-
cry In this land will surely result
in riots and the destruction of hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of inno-
cent Germans as well as create a
hatred of Germans in America that
will last as long as time.
Therefore say unto you,
ARISE, and strangle your prejui-
dices long enough to perceive
wherein the real interests of the
German people lie, and act accord
ingly or get out of the way lest
you hinder God from blessing Ger
many and the earth through and in
spite OF the kaiser's foolishness.
Respectfully,
WILL LLEWELLYN,
Wilkeson.
