while and l finally got enough
courage to ask If l could see some

A girl took me in an adjoining
room that was the saddest place
that | have ever been.
Along the wall on both sides of

they slept.

girls who had been in the first
room came in.

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
What do you think about
this?
Two hundred soldiers have
spent the afternoon and evening
in Tacoma, leaving their money
with Tacoma merchants and
amusement place owners
It is midnight, cold and rain
ing. Reveille will sound the be-
ginning of a work day for those
men at 6:3O a. m. They are
standing in long line at the
Commerce and Ninth ave. bus
station. Some of them have been
in line one hour, others two, and
some of them three hours, and
perhaps a half dozen a dozen
automobiles have taken passen-
gers from the station during that
time.
Where are the other buses?
Are their drivers sleeping or
have they gone to dinner?
/ They are down on Pacific ave.,
double-crossing Camp Lewis sol
diers and Tacoma citizens.
They know that they can in
duce soldiers, sleepy and cold
and anxious to get home, to pay
them double the regular price of
35 cents.
This is forbidden as long as
they operate as buses, so they
hide the sign under the seat-and
forthwith become taxis and traf-
fic pirates.
Now, what do you think of
this?
If there are not enough buses,
wouldn't it be good business and
patriotic business for some of Ia
coma's merchants, or some of the
members of her Automobile club,
to arrange some way to provide
soldiers who come to Tacoma
Wednesday and Saturday nights
with vehicles? SOLDIER.

American citizens to produce the
coal needed for carrying on this war,

With the creation Of a committee on

last evening by a vote of Isl to 1O1'
the suffragists plan to press the suf-
frage amendment to a vote early in

The vote on the suffrage commit

the needed two-thirds for the submis-
sion OF their amendment.
Interest is aroused in the House
over the personnel NJ the new COM

aspirant She is a Republican, and

be chosen. The Ways and Means Com

Bands All Ready.

Two bands are all tuned up and
waiting for the distinction OF sere-
nading the newcomers. One is the
Tenth New York, the other the 3l4th
Regiment Band, National Army. Maj.
Gen. Joseph z. Kuhn will try to get
down to the Disney Station to well
come the Maryland and District men,
although the headquarters il two
miles from the station and General
Kuhn is a very busy man.
Maryland and District men will be
quartered near the middle OF the
camp, not far from the high tower
from which flies the flag indicating
the location OF division headquarters.
The new men who are coming Will
be like men entering a race after
hot pace has been set. Pennsylvania
has produced from big and little
towns men OF all kinds, but they are
all alike in their eaEerness to learn
the war game. They are putting in
their nvs hours a day drilling to good
purpose. There IL intense Ameri-
canism about the men, even when
they seem to un-AmsricAn in their
contempt for the English language.

No one has ever heard OF adults in
Maryland, natives OF the soil. who
have grown up without learning the
language OF their land. From the
remote parts OF Pennsylvanla have
come Pennsylvania Dutch who stood
like mutes while General Hatch was
asking them questions. Through an
Interpreter they made IL clear that
they are for the stars and stripes
and against the Kaiser. That's the
main thing now, but the general eX-

Enfield and is adapted to the use Of
the United States standard ammuni-
tion cnliber 80. The body and bolt
are OF 3a per cent nickel steel and
are somewhat larger than the United
States Springfield. heretofore the
Government arm. The barrel Is two
inches longer than the Springfield and
the bayOnet is 1.125 inches longer.
Altogether, counting other enlarge
ments, the rifle 10 4l2O inches longer.
What impresses one of the mRrksmen
here Is the location OF the rear sight
on the top rear end OF the body, in
