Pidd Describes How
Escape Was Planned

1--WE had planned to go to Mex
leo and stay there about a year
and then go to some civilized
country and start all over again. /"
Whether he knew anything of
the whereabouts of the fugitives
Pidd would not say.
There is somewhat of a mystery
connected with the key to the
main entrance to the Jail. When
the night matron phoned to the
police the key was lying on the
big registration book.
It is now believed the escaped
prisoners we're in hiding and walt
ed until she had finished phoning,
as when the police arrived there
was no key to be found and 1t has
been necessary to have a new lock
made.
1t also came to light Saturday
that the rest OF the prisoners for
the most part we're willing and
anxious to go, but that French
locked the main entrance as he
left, fearing that some OF the trus-

George Pidd told Jailer Leak
Friday the story of how the as
sault of Night Jailer McCabe and
the escape of Tom French and
three other prisoners Friday night

days ago." said Pidd, land told
me of his plan to escape.
You see French and / figured
that we had nothing to lose as he
was going to the pen and / was
sentenced for life. Besides,
French had sworn never to go
back to Walla Walla, as he had
been there before and knew what
it was like. He said that he would
rather die than go back.
"Well, French was allowed
more freedom than l was, and he
spent a lot of time looking for
something that could be used to
knock out McCabe.

able to find for a time was crib

RE-STATES AIMS


LONDON, Jan. 5.-Britain's
answer to Count Czernin's terms
OF peace for the central powers
was emphatically announced to the
world today by Premier Lloyd
George in speech at the British
laborite 'man-power" conference.
The British premier laid down
three cardinal principles on which
Britain-and the allies-would be
willing to talk of peace.
Before permanent peace can
come" the prime minister de-
clared impressively, three condi-
tons must be fulfilled.
"First-The sanctity of the
treaty must he re-established.
'Second-There must be
territorial settlements based
on the consent of those gov
erned.
"Third-There must be
created some international
organization to limit the bur-
den of ornaments and d.
minish the probability of
war;"
The British premier went into
detail to outline forcefully, point
eddy and clearly every one of the
aspirations of the forces of
democracy.
Not for This.
He held britain and her allies
are fighting.
Not for the destruction or dis
ruption of Germany.
Not to destroy ia-Hungary
or Turkey.
Not merely to alter or destroy
the imperial Constitution Of Ger
many.
Not to take Turkeys lands that
are predominantly Turkish from
them.
But for these principles:
But for This.
1. Complete restoration Of Bel
GUM.
2. Reparation as far as possible
for devastated towns and cities.
8. Naturalization and interna-
tionalization of the Dardanelles.

TWO CHANGES MADE

aims showed two concessions:
First was in his use of the
word Reconsideration" in
connection with the future
status of Alsace-Lorraine The
flat demand for restora lion
of the lost provinces" has
heretofore been prominent in
allied peace aims.
Second was the declara-
ton that altho the Darda-
nelles and the Bosphorus
must be "neutralized and in
ternationalized" there is no
intention on the part of the
allies to deprive Turkey of
her capital"
Previous allied war aims
have insisted that the Turk
must be driven out of Europe.

THE One Way
WE Can GET
REAL SERVICE

Government work, especially shipbuildng,
has been grievously hampered in New York
and Brooklyn, just as it has been in Tacoma, by
slipshOd, one-lung transportation.
The trolley service there has failed utterly
to handle the workers in decent manner, and
the ferryboat owners have been playing Ber-
linf.game by charging exorbitant rates.
So what has been done? Did the authorities
conduct some pour parleurs with the trolley
and ferry owners, and let it go at that? Did
they beseech the women of the city to save the
day by shopping early, and quit there?
Not so you could notice it! They went to
the heart of the trouble, which was the failure
Of private ownership to meet an abnormal sit
uation.

trouble.
Today, according to Washington dispatches,
the shipping board officials announce that
they will take over the trolleys and ferries un-
less the situation clears itself at once
Tacoma, if it is going to advance industrially
by the mighty strides now possible, must do
likewise.
If we are going to do our full part in build
ing ships and mobilizing and training soldiers,
we must have first class transportation.
To get it, we must ask the government,
preferably thru the director general of rail
roads, to run our now helpless street railways

PLAY APRONS FOR KIDDIEs
Can Be Made From Either UnbIeached
Muslin or oiIcloth, Cut to Form a
Huge Kitty or Puppy.

Riddles will love one of these kitty
or puppy aprons, to be made from un-
bleached muslin or oilcloth for real
strenuous play, such as soap bubbles,
mud pies, etc. The way to make one
is to cut a pattern of a huge kitten,
very roughly, of course, painting in or
appliqueing eyes and embroidering a
mouth and whiskers on the front. The
outstanding ears of the kitty can run
lp to the shoulder as bretelles for
the bib, which will be formed by the
head.
Both kitty and puppy could be i'm
agined as standing on their hind legs,
and the front paws could then be de-
lineated by pockets. The whole apron
should be bound with a bright tape,
and tape should be attached to the
tips Of the ears and at the sides of
.he neck for tying the apron into
place. If the tie-strings are made long
enough to go all around the waist they
will carry out the illusion of a neck

SHORT WRAP WORN
Apparently ShapeIess Garment
One of Novelties Of Season.
Is as Warm as q Fur Coat but Docs
Not Hide Beauty Of Smart Dress
That May Be Worn Under II.

One Of the most picturesque and
popular novelties of the season is the
apparently shapeless, little short wrap,
which Is warm as fur coat, but which
permits smart dress to be seen In
all Its glory, writes Idalia de Villiers,
u Paris correspondent.
For example, such u short wrap as
that shown in the illustration. This
was copied from an exclusive and very
expensive Paris model, which was spe-
cially created for the young queen of
Spain. The original model was com
posed of ermlne and sable, with an
exquisite lining of brocaded satin,
which showed pastel pink flowers on II
silver-gray ground.
But the wrap shown In the sketch
was made Of pale-gray oursne, with Il
large collar of musquash and the same
soft fur on the ends of the loose sash.
There was a lining Of bright printed
silk, which exploited Chinese designs
in three different shades of blue, and
the sleeves were wide and rather
short.
This was quite an inexpensive gar
ment and eminently attractive. Me
lusine, oursine or supple ratine might
be used for such a wrap as this, and
any fur could be added on the collar
and sash ends; this model would afford

But really no exception should be
taken to the word Yankee, which ia
an honorable title, says the London
Chronicle. When the New England
colonies were first settled, the inhabi-
tants were obliged to fight their way
against many nations of Indians. They
found but little difficulty in subduing
them oil except one tribe, who were
known by the name of YankoOs-
which signifies invincible After the
waste of much blood and treasure, the
Yankoos were at last subdued by the
New England men. The remains of
this nation agreeable to the Indian
r"stom) transferred their name to
'aeir conquerors. For a while they
were called Yankoos; but from a cor
ruption, common to names in all lam
guages, they got the name of Yankee.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND

The men on the firing line represent

Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for a long life. DIR. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily before meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
II we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
IS the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times q day
for q month. 1t sells for 60c.

inventor of Combined Harvester.

Samuel Davis of McWinnville, Ore,
was the inventor Of the combined har-
vester, according to the Denver Field
and Farm. The original machine,
which has since revolutionized farm
ing operations, was built on his farm
in 1862, and he operated it there for
several seasons. California has claim
ed the invention of the combined har-
vester, but 1t is simply the Davis ma
chine to which the Californians gave
popularity. The first machine was
not so primitive as one might imag-
inc, for it did the work we'll and sat
isfactorily, and it was not an unusual
thing for the Davis machine to cut
and thrash from 1900 to 1900 BUSH
els a day with three men and ten
horses. Il
