ing when n horse driven by Mr.. Mar

entirely too fast for the congested
condition of the street on that even
ing, Mr.. Martin was notified by Chief
Cocklin that he must slow down. He
continued and the wheel of the
buggy caught another standing along

store and continuing across Market
street on the sidewalk crashed into
the large plate glass window of the
recently-opcr co store of ]. b. Port,
and q few doors further caught on

Criticism

EDITOR THE TINES:
As / read the news from Wash
ington, II appears to me that there
is too much preparedness looking
to perfecting a gigantic war ma
chine for five years hence, and
too little preparedness for an i'm
mediate war with Germany.
A nitrate plant to make nitrates
from the air for powder manufac-
ture, so that we shall be independ-
ent of the Chilean natural deposits
is well and good as a future pre-
caution. But there is no immedi-
ate necessity for II. What we need
today Is to get the existing pow
der mills up to their absolute max
imum production for the needs of
the allies and ourselves, using the
imported nitrates.
A government-owned armor
plant we must have eventually,
but let us not fuss about II too
much at present. Let us instead
speed the private owned plants up
to the top notch of production.
They are actually turning out the
product we need; government
owned plant could not begin such
production for many months.
Let us hasten our preparations
for combating the submarine. Let
us turn out a thousand, yes, sew
eral thousand, small wooden YES
sells, to insure the feeding OF Eng
land and France. Let us get some
OF our soldiers across the water.
Let's not worry about a future
perfect theoretical preparedness
until these first-at-hand matters
are attended to.

cipally for your eyes alone, Mr..

HOME GUARD .
WILL; DRILL

A home guard of city employees,
with drills of at least 600 men on
the pavements near the city hall,
Will begin some time this week,
according to plans made Monday.
Mayor Fawcett discussed the
home guard idea with other city
officials and with city employees.
Everyone was unanimously in ia.
vor of the plan.
Fawcett outlined the idea to.
Col. Inglis, commander of the
Washington troops, Monday, and
was promised that guns would be-
furnished IL the state soldiery
could supply the demand.
The home guard will be drilled
for wartime service, SO that the
city employees will be prepared
either to enter active service under
the colors, or guard duty in pro-
tecting city property.
II do not believe there is much
chance that the city employees will
be called out for actual war SER
vice." said Mayor Fawcett, but
everyone Is agreed that we should
be prepared against any emer-
gency."
Members of the city council and
other prominent city officials Will
join the guard. Drills will be
held two or three times each week.
after the regular working day n
ended.
