FARM FREE
FOR ASKING
A farm for nothing!

n Aoi toi hOtbihSs
That is an offer The Times was
authorized to make today.
A farmer who owns several
properties came to the office this
morning. He said one of his
places consists of 100 acres of
land on the Tacoma Eastern rail-
way, all of it cleared or in pas
ture.
1t has house, barn and out
buildings; an orchard; a good
we'll; pillow and other equipment;
is all fenced. 1t is handy to good
schools.
He wants to turn It over to
some couple, rent-free, for one or
two years.. He even will pay the
taxes, provided he is assured in
advance that his tenants are the
right sort, who will keep up the
land.
. The farm is capable of MAIN
tanning 80 head of cattle. All any
prospective occupant would re-
quire, he says, would be cattle,
small tools and their household
effects.
The man is devoting his own
time and attention, he explains, to
other property and wants to dis
pose for the present of this farm
so that his mind will be free Of
worry regarding It.
He will be at The Times edi-
torial rooms at 4 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon to meet anybody inter-
ested in his novel offer.

we can get the skilled labor to

SeabOrn Alert.
1t was announced at the Sea-
born shipyards that the capacity
of the plant will be increased as
soon as it is known definitely how
many vessels the government will
require. The company now has

Shipbuilders say they are un.
able to learn whether the govern
ment intends to deal directly in
ships or to cooperate with private
interests.

From the impregnable position
below the village the German in
fantry waited confidently the ex-

Two columns OF French infan-
try suddenly began an encircling
movement from the right and
from the left. Every movement
of these forces was visible to the
naked eye. The soldiers advanced
at almost a strolling pace along
the summit of two converging
ridges. Their bodies were clearly
silhouetted against the sky.

they were too late. The French
converging columns met behind

The Germans did not relish
an attempt TO cut their way

turned to the prot lection OF
the rock caves. And the
French columns, ignoring
their existence and leaving
their ultimate disposition to
other troops, swept on tn the
east from the village, pene-
trating at every step deeper

An effort will be made to get
men who are directly in touch
with the affairs of the institution
to explain the situation and tell
what the public can do to remedy
it.
The Times has already received
statements and communications
from a number of Y. M. C. A.

determination to stand back of
every effort to put the association

cause of the fact that before his
appointment test vote in COM
mittee recorded the sentiment as
eight to nine against the conscrip-
tion method and in favor of the
volunteer system.
Administrator leaders now be-
heve they can get the conscrip-
ton measure through the upper
body very shortly. The moral eff
feet thus created, 1t is argued,
would make pressure on the house
strong enough to push it through
there soon after.
In anticipation Of speedy action
by congress on the draft bill, the
war department this afternoon
had nearly completed plans to
have the first levy of 500, 200 men
in training camps by August 1.
The first levy would be selected
by lot.
The great $1,000, 900, 900 bond
issue bill is now virtually a law.
The senate, having unanimously
passed it with minor amendments
last night, the president was ex-
pected to sign it by this afternoon.
War Plans Hampered
The senate military committee
was to report today the admins
tratiOn bill for volunteers to fill
present open gaps. in the regular
army and national guard, this to
be followed by selective draft.
AS in times past, White House
pressure now promises to crumple
congress opposition.
If opposition still menaces the
bill, the administration will not
hesitate to take the names and
cases of the revolving straight to
the public.
That administration authorities
are tired of house delays is put
ting it mildly. In fact, military
men say that the success of
America in the war is daily jeop-
ardized by such procrastination.
Once tile army measure is dis
posed of, government espionage
and other similar war measures
will be taken up.
