SAYS GERMANY MUST QUIT BY SPRING

fore it becomes mutual and the United
States is alienated, perhaps for all
time.
"They know that after the war there
is only one country in the world where
they can get the money they will need,
America. and they are worrying a-plen-
ty nowadays.
"They, and all Germany, want in
creasingly peace that shall specify,
among other things, the right to pur-
chase raw as well as finished materials
anywhere in the world on the same
terms as any other nation.
Every indication points to probable
confscation Of property and repudia-
ton of perhaps half the war loans af-
ter the war. Even the percentage Of
talked of, and it seems probable that
the government will take 20 per cent
of everything.
To NuIlify War Loans.
"On the other hand, it seems prob
able from all hear that an even half
of all outstanding war loans will be
nullified. Fifty per cent will be repaid,
and the other so per cent will either
be Cancelled or will merely continue to
pay interest-will be sort Of perpet-
ual investment, the capital for which
cannot be realized.
GAS surely as anything can be pre-
dicted there will be in the central pow
ers a series of laws forbidding emigra-
ton, and in anticipation of them count
less Germans today are talking about
ways and means of getting away af-
ter the war. The first German ship
that lands in America after hOstilitieS
will leave 20 per cent of its crew be-
hind.
"It is becoming clearer and clearer
to Germans every day that all the
talk that has gone the rounds about a
Central Europe after the model of
Professor Naumann and others will be
out of the question.
Contrary to the belief that seems
to be almost universal outside of Ger
many, I really believe that pan-Ger-
manism is on the decrease among the
masses of the people, and this despite
the increased noise about it every
where in Germany and the intensive
way in which it is being encouraged.
The reason for this is that more and
more the German people are coming
to realize what a catastrophe it will
be for them after the war is over if
they are hated in all the world. Pan
Germanism, they are coming to feel,
is likely to intensity the feeling against
them, and thereby make their. econ
omic struggle in the future more diff
cult"

War Stamps on Sale.


The sale of war savings stamps
and certificates, Americas newest
plan for raising war funds and encour-
aging thrift, began on Monday, and
was taken up by the entire country
with an enthusiasm that presages its
complete success. The campaign VIII
continue for one year, and 1t is be-
lieved the maximum sum authorized
$4,000 OO,0O0-will be obtained with
out trouble.
The interstate commerce commission
having recommended the nationallza-
ton Of the railroads during the contin-
uation Of the war, the president and
his aids took up the matter last week,
and Mr.. Wilson was expected soon TO
send to congress a special message on
the subject. The administration con-
coded that the roads must be given
liberal financial aid and plan may be
evolved for their operation under
government director of transportation.
The most terrible Of the many dis
asters incident to the war befell HaH-
fax, n. S., on Thursday, when the
French munition ship Mont Blanc ex-
ploded in the harbor after being ram
med by a Belgian relief vessel. Some
5000 persons were killed, many thou'
sands injured and a considerable pars
Of the city and it's suburbs wrecked
by the awful blast.

sible and supplying them with NUM-
tons and food. To release as much
tonnage as may be for the purpose
of carrying the American soldiers an
international organization was created
that will coordinate the utilization of
transport facilities, somewhat restrict
ing the imports Of the various nations.
1t may be that a considerable part of
the supplies for the American army
will be obtained from England and
France in order to save time.
The allies intend to bring out their
full man power, and the troops of the
United States are to be taken to the
front as quickly as 1t can be done.
There is no doubt that this is the plan
of the government, despite the opinion
of Won Hindenburg and Won Luden-
dOrff that America was raising a great
army only to protect itself against ia
pan and would not be so foolish" as
to send it to Europe. If those gen.
tlemen read the presidents message
some glimmer of truth as to the real
determination of the United States
may penetrate their skulls.
China May Send an Army.
Before very long yet another ma
tional army may be Sighting beside the
allies in France against Germany. 1t
is reported that a large force from
China is to be brought to the west
ern front, probably under the COM
mand of General Yeng-Chang, chief
general adjutant to the Chinese presi-
dent. For long time many thou
sands of Chinese have been working
behind the lines in France, and doubt
less the well-trained and equipped
armed forces of the Oriental republic
also will be welcome there.
From Palestine General Allenby sent
word that he was in a position to en-
ter Jerusalem at any time he saw fit,
but was continuing an envelOping
City.
Equally satisfactory is the news
from East Africa, the British COM
mander there reporting that the last
Germans had been cleared from that
vast region. All who were not killed
or captured had fed to Portuguese
territory, where they would soon be
attended to, he said. Thus Germany
has been stripped of the last Of her
colonies.
InteraIIied Naval Council.
An important decision of the coun-
Gil in Paris was to create an inter-
allied naval council in order to close
contact and complete cooperation be-
tween the navies of the allies. The
council will be composed of the min
listers of marine and admiralty chiefs
of the nations represented. The war
fare on the submarines Is proceeding
satisfactorily, but the last British adj
miralty report shows the toll OF the
U-Boats is still high, 16 British YES
sells Of more than 1000 tons and five
others having been sunk in the week:
Among the boats torpedoed was the
steamer Apapa, so passengers and the
crew perishing. The submarine she'll
ed the vessels open boats that were
filed with women and children.
Early Thursday morning q fleet OF
big German airplanes made raid on
England and several of them succeed
ed in reaching London. Their bombs
killed seven persons. At least two CT
the raiding machines were brought
down by gun fire and their crews cap
tured.

AS to Mattresses
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
l am sorry that a misunder-
standing has arisen over an inter-
view with me in your paper Of last
Thursday, when Miss Abbott
talked with me about the case of
Miss Alice Ward, who ended her
life in my rooming house.
The published interview seemed
to imply that l considered wait
resses in lower repute than girls
of other employment. 1t quoted
me as saying: II don't think she
was a waitress. She looked so
refined"
l did not say it in this way, in
fact l did not refer to her being a
waitress, so far as / can remember.
| did remark that / believed the
girl was of good education and
that she had the appearance of be-
ing a stenographer or office girl.
l have known many working
girls of all occupations and have
had many living at my house. AS
long as she is a good girl, / do
not consider that the nature of any
young woman's employment makes
any difference as to her standing
in the community. Many persons
took wrong understanding of the
interview, and l hope to correct
that impression. Whether a girl
is a waitress or employed at any
other work, If she is good morally
she can hold her head up among
the best. Yours truly,
MRS. R. LEE.

CITY TO FIGHT
Library PLAN

Tacoma's city council launched
a fight Wednesday against an at
tempt to pass through the leglsla-
ture bill allowing city Libraries
a large increase in funds over the
present amount.
Mayor Fawcett was authorized
by the commissioners to ask Judge
Smell, head of the state taxpayers
league, to take up the matter i'm
mediately and attempt to head off
the bill.
A memorial was ordered drawn
to the legislature asking that, II a
larger levy were allowed Libraries
by the lawmakers, this money
should not come from the 15-mill
levy allowed to cities. The coun-
ell maintains that 1t cannot give
the library more money under ex-
isting conditions without serious
up gripping some other depart
ment.
What we ought to have is a
state law placing city libraries d.
rectly under the city govern
ment," said Mayor Favor Fawcett,
with a library superintendent,
appointed by the council, to man.

mess system in the library work. F"

PROTEST TWO
PENDING BILLS

Official protest to the legisla-
ture over two bills pending before
that body, was made by the city
council Wednesday.
The commissioners passed a
resolution asking that senate bill
No. 81, allowing cities of the third
class to sell municipal water and
power outside of their boundaries,
be amended to permit all cities
the same right. Unless the bill
is changed, Tacoma will be unable
to supply light and water and
power to the manufacturing area
on the flats.
The Tacoma council united with
the Seattle, Bellingham, Spokane
and Everett councils, in protest
ing against house bill No. 8, which
gives the public service commits
sion unlimited power to say
whether a city should enlarge its
bonded Indebtedness by municipal
ownership of utilities.
The bill assumes that the cities
have no competence or ability in
handling their own affairs &C
cording to the resolution.
Instead of giving the public
service commission more power,
the city councils of the five cities
recommend that the commissions
power over first-class cities be re-
moved entirely.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did It ever occur to you that
every moveie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, many are
leading ladies just because of their
attractive locks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty of
their hair by careful shampooing,
not with any soap or makeshift,
but with simple mixture by put
ting a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which they get from the drug
gist) in cup of hot water and APP
plying this instead of soap. This
full cup of shampoo liquid is
enough so 1t is easy to apply 1t to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head. After its use, the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear.
The hair is so fluffy that 1t looks
much heavier than It is, while its
lustre and softness is delightful.

Propose Shakeup

EDITOR THE TIMES:
While Mr.. Bellingham and Mr..
O'Farrell are making the much
needed political house-cleaning II
might be well for them to cast
their eyes toward Mountain View
sanatorium, the tuberculosis hos
pital.
Conditions there for long
time have been going from bad to
worse.
Prisoners sent there to work out
their time and thus save the coun-
ty expense, have been allowed lib
critics which no inmate or the help
would have been allowed.
One prisoner, a favorite OF the
matron's, was allowed by her to
leave the hospital and visit his
sister in an adjoining city.
He was allowed to smoke In the
dining room and kitchen, when
the doctor was not around.
He was given a tent set up In
the remote part of the grounds,
came and went all hours of the
night as he saw fit.
He insulted the girls in the
kitchen, for which there was no
redress; Dragged about being the
boss of the dishwasher and also

about driving another woman from
the institution.
Now, l want to call your atten-
ton to the nurses.
Mayor Jones of Steilacoom is a
carpenter by trade. He worked on
the new home for nurses when
this building was being built.
After 1t was built he graduated
to sweeping the floors In the hos
pital. Again he has graduated to
trained nurse and pulling down
$50 month and found everything.
Don't you think 1t about time
this place was cleaned out2
Let Mrs. Fletcher fall into line
or fire her out. Investigate her
manner of handling her position.
She is good nurse but she lets
her sense of favoritism blind her
sense of duty.
Mr.. Bellingham and Mr.. Oar
rell, this is housekeeping time.
You will find enough rottenness at
this institution to keep you busy
for one while.
