TRIES TO DIE
in THE LAKE

Believed by the police to have
become insane over the war. an
unidentified man In the clothing
of q laborer waded into the pond
at Wright park Monday morning
until he was knee deep, and then
dove head first.
The blow on his head stunned
him into unconsciousness, float
ing half submerged toward the
center of the lake. A coast artil-
leryman and another man in civil
ian clothes, who were walking
through the park, swan out to the
body and towed It ashore.
Although regaining conscious
ness, the would-be suicide refused
to talk when police officers took
him to the central station. He was
placed in cell. still In his drip
ping clothes, and became violent.
There was nothing on the mans
clothing to indicate his identity.
He was apparently foreigner.

nth ST.
BRIDGE

Special squads of guards, Sc
lected from the Tacoma Rifle
club, and armed with loaded
rifles, were detailed by Commits
sioner Atkins Monday to protect
the 18th street bridge and the
Puyallup river lift bridge near the
Milwaukee shops.
The men are not uniformed,
but wear police badges promi-
nently displayed on their coats.
They have orders to shoot to
kill' If any person refuses to
obey command to halt.
Guards have been placed on the
roadways of the bridge, and about
the foundation piers. They will
be on duty day and night. Com
missioner Atkins expects a detail
of uniformed soldiers to protect
the bridges in a few days.

All One

And now that war has been de-
olared
My duty can see:
There's no more time for argu-
But fight for liberty.
The kaiser did this awful thing,
And he must pay the cost.
His military rage must cease,
His blood-stained crown be lost.
His crimes upon the deep blue sea
Have stung our very soul;
We can't forget the wrongs he's
done
To helpless young and old.
We will avenge these crimes of his
And stop such ruthless rage;
Our boys will have their names
inscribed
On history's honor page.
We've fought before for liberty,
We know the game quite well;
We've dealt with devils in the past
And we can give them hell.
The Blue and Gray have blended
now
And Khaki is the hue,
The party lines have passed away,
All to the stars are true.
Our noble aim in this war game
Is not to gather spoils.
We fight that we may feel secure
While at our daily tolls.
We will not stop since we've begun
Until his name goes down;
He should not only meet defeat,
But also lose his crown.

BEGIN WORK
OF SURVEYING

With the preliminary work COM
pleted, the job of surveying the
10000 acres included in the Amer
lean lake army cantonmnet was
started Monday by U. S. engineer
ing companies e and F. The work
is to be rushed.
Reports we're in circulation that
regiments from other states were
expected to arrive at the American
lake camp soon.
Although two of the three bat
talions of the Second infantry are
away from camp doing guard duty
somewhere in the state, those re-
naming are being kept busy.
The men went out for range
work Monday, having spent some
time Sunday cleaning their rifles
for practice.
Hundreds of visitors were at
the camp Sunday.

Why Not?
To Our Fellow Citizens.

~ our fellOW Clt1ZenS.
1t seems to us that the present
Is splendid opportunity for a dis
play of THE New Tacoma Spirit. F"
Why should we let the war or any
thing else hinder the march of
progress in our city?
Our attractions and advantages
or climate, scenery, ETC., and our
commercial and industrial ad-
vantages and opportunities will
be here during and after the war,
SO why should we not 20 ahead
with our plans as best we can and
not halt or stop for anything?
What Tacoma has needed in
the past and needs now is a pub
licity campaign both at home and
abroad. The Commercial club
upon whom practically all the bur-
dens of the civic work of the city
are CASTS hampered by lack of
funds and other handicaps. Why
cannot we all get into the public
ity game-the business men and
property owners, the associated
banks, the printers, the real estate
association, etc, etc.
A few hundred dollars spent
now for publicity work would go
long ways to show that Tacoma
is not afraid of war or anything
else, but has supreme confidence
in herself and her destiny. Why
not print a few thousand circulars
bearing optimistic messages in re-
gard to Tacoma's climate, snow
clad mountains, fir-clad hills,
Natchless lakes and inland sea,
and enclose them in every letter
that goes out from Tacoma in the
next three or six months, carrying
to our own people as we'll as the
stranger a spirit of faith, courage
and confidence in the future?
This association has no funds,
but IL the money or these circu-
lars are furnished us we will see
that every business house in the
city is furnished with a supply and
asked to enclose one in every let
ter sent out for the next few
months.
Let's out-Kansas Kansas and
Iout-California California along
publicity lines during these trou-
blous times when there is a ten
dency to get scared and imagine
thtt everything is going to destruc-
ton, letting the world know that
there is at least one city which re-
J fuses to be stamneded BY war OF

DRIVE Is
STARTED

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
AFlELD, April 9.-The fourth
summer of fighting today was in
augurated with a drive of such
concerted force, Of such co-ordi-
mated activity as to overthrow
even the great Somme drNe of a
year ago.
In the air vast droves of Brit
ish airmen lowered, like seagulls
while below the tanks" were
again called into action ahead OF
struggling infantrymen. Again
the tanks spread CONSERVATION
among the enemy.
The British began their terrific
offensive at dawn this morning,
in high wind and driving sleet
storm. The movement started all
along the wide front from Lens to
Cambria.
The first stage of the fighting
had been crowned with success
by O'clock. At that time the
initial detectives had been fully
attained.
Throughout all Easter Sunday
the British artillery kept up a con-
tinual pounding of the Germans,
swelling now and then to a roar,
and again diminishing at night
to comparative silence.
The titanic tattoo would swell
up on the exact instant all along
the line.
At the same time the infantry,
with the Canadians taking part,
began the assault all along the
line.

struggled on six years to support
herself and bedridden mother by
the needle; this young woman be-
fore sacrificing her virtue sold the
last blanket from her mothers
bed, also her own last dress.
Who will deny that these are
startling considerations? And
what is true of New York, Chicago,
st. Louis, and San Francisco is
also true of other cities such as
Tacoma and Seattle.
Young girls can always get
money in our large cities by bar
tering their virtue, so why should
1T be thought strange that a fe-
male, pressed by pale want, should
do that with which a male will
do in the absence of this necessity
land without a scruple? And why
Especially should 1t excite wonder,
while black heartened seducers
and PROGRESSES, knowing this
want, swarm thick around ever
ready to take advantage of their
distressed condition? There is a
few other causes that publicity
will not allow me to touch upon
so l want to say to the writer
May and others that think the
same as this woman, they all be-
lieve that man ia the direct cause
of women's going wrong. Moth
ing can be farther from the truth
then this. To one who has trav-
eled and has had the opportunity
to study the causes and conditions
of such women, It is sickening
to reflect that in a Christian coun-
try there exists a class of women
who for sum of money varying
from 20 cents to 500 will sell
themselves in sin to men for whom
they entertain no sentiment of
love, no sense of physical attrac-
ton, and toward whom they, in
many cases, feel an aversion, II
not disgust.
It is also humiliation to all who
are working for, and have faith
in, the ultimate moral and physi-
cal regeneration of the human
race, that the passions of man can
be SO morbid as to lead them for
one moment to value an indulg-
ence of this nature which can be
purchased like a package of cigar
cites or a glass Of rum; but look
whichever way you will, and you
are confronted by masculine de-

Certainly I will print vOur

Oer1aihiy Will print your
letter. Furthermore, 1 will
express the hope that no
other Times readers SO mis-.
understood the spirit of the
rule you refer to as you ap.
pear to have misunderstood
Il. :.
What i said was that The
Times, now that war Is on,
would print no letters of
"censorious criticism" of the
national administration or
the national policy.
"Censorious," according 90
my dictionary, means fault
finding, hypercritical, cap
tious, severe, carping, etc.
Such letters, in my opinion,
would necessarily be treason
able and malicious; and The
Times will give them no pub
licity.
But this Is the United
States, not Prussia; a repub-
lie, not n divine right, war;
kultur domain. Patriotic, con-
structive, sane criticism is
proper and right.
Never fear. Mr.. Peterson,
that The Times either will re-
frain from making such criti-
cism on its own behalf when
II sees the need for II or that
IL Will try to muzzle any OF
Its readers who feel impelled
to speak a word of warming.
The only test we shall ap-
ply to letters discussing the
war situation Is the test of
true Observation-Disclosures.
