U-BOAT
ATTACK
FOR FEB.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %.
Peace by the sword" will be
Germany's next effort in answer
to the growing unrest among the
peoples of the central empires.
Official information reaching
this government, led Secretary OF
War Baker in his weekly review
to state unqualifiedly that Ger
many is about to launch a great
attack, both by land and sea,
against her enemies.
Feb. 1.-The first anniversary
of Germanys Inauguration of the
ruthless submarine warfare--may
be the date set for her next U-boat
exploits. Baker classifies the Ger
man plans as -heralding the most
powerful submarine offensive yet
undertaken.
His statement confirms United
Press information sent out last
week that Germany's recall of her
U-boats forecast a great drive
against the allied naval forces
guarding American troops and
supply ships going to Europe.
Baker declares Germany Is de-
termined to break the steady
stream of these vessels. 1t is be-
lieved that she has enlarged the
guns on her U-boats in order to
give battle, even with destroyers.

starts have been made" Baker de-
clared. THE impression has

Chase Builds
Six Cottages

Roger E. Chase of Tacoma has
hit on a novel scheme for adding
to the city's housing facilities.
On IL lots DIN the Oakland adj
dition at South 30th and Durango
streets, he is building for sale six
frame cottages of two rooms each.
The first of these Is now under
construction.
There Is nothing elaborate about
the small dwellings, but they are
built to furnish comfortable homes
for couples. Each cottage is to
be placed toward the rear of two
large lots, allowing room to build
a larger home On the front Of the
lots when conditions for building
are better. There is also room for
q large war garden.
The cottages are being supplied
with city water and are close TO
cars and school. Chase's office is
at 1913 A street.

CHANGES
in FOOD
RULINGS
Especial TO The Times)

SPOKANE, Jan. 2S.--"Wheat-
! less Monday" is added to Wheat
less Wednesday" and to Pork
less Tuesday and Saturday" in ad-
ditional directions to the first
home card issued by Herbert Hoo
yer through the state food ad-
ministrator to the people Of Wash
J ington today.
The appeal also asks that in ad-
dition to porkless and wheatless
days and meals that every day be
made fat saving day; that every
day be made sugar saving day;
that fruits, vegetables and pota-
toes be used abundantly; and that
milk be used wisely.
Situation Graver
1.-THE food situation in Europe
is far graver than when the pre-
liminary survey OF the food supply
of the world for this year was
made" is Mr.. Hoover's statement
contained in the supplemental
home card, and he adds:
I'VE have an abundance for our
selves, and it is the firm policy of
the food administration, by the
prevention of exports, to retain
for our own people an ample sup
ply of every essential foodstuff.
The harvests of our allies have
proved less than we had contem-
plated, and the great curtailment
of shipping by the submarine dur
ing the last few months has fur
Their prevented them from access
to more remote markets.
Neutrals in Need
Beyond the demands of the al
lies there is call upon us by the
friendly neutrals for food supplies
and IL we cannot, at least in part,
respond to these neutral calls.
starvation on an unparalleled
scale must ensue."
The issuance of the supplement
tai home card will not revoke the
meatless holidays" recently in
stituted in Washington, according
to Charles Hebberd, state food
administrator.
Cards Coming Out
"Porkless Tuesday and porkless
meals will take the place of Meat
less Tuesday and meatless meals,
as named in the card, until March
49," said Mr.. Hebberd, after
which time all the proSisions of
the supplemental card issued by
Mr.. Hoover will become effec-
tive"
The instructions of the admin
istration are to be distributed to
the home members of the u. s.
Food Administration who signed
the food pledge card last summer
and fall. They will be printed
and distributed soon. 1t is the
desire OF the administration, ac-
cording to the announcement, that
these cards be in every home in
the state.

Mrs. Lois Taft will recover from
the assault which came as the

To find out all about it is the most interesting
thing to any patriotic American today, because

The world is full of cOmplainers. Some complain of i'll health, many of i'll fortune and most of all of III luck.
 A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. It is not a perfect world. Who Is well every day throughout the year without an ache, pain or a cough7

 It is a world of foibles, fads and fanatics. If we were all perfect the preachers would be needless. Heaven would be on earth.
 There is comfort in the thought that the striking differences we find among men and women make the world at- tractive. If all were alike the mo- notOny would he unbearable.

About the Pullman.

After the long night of sleeping and pumping, you get up and hasten to the washroom for the hurry-up cleanup, only to find that the man who talks loud in the smoker has beaten you to 1t. He has evidently talked all night so as to be back on the job before any one else.
 He has received a travelling case as a present from an admiring friend or wife, and he is busily using it. His bag is deposited on seat, his coat and vest are on a hook, his collar and tie on another one. His travelling case takes up the space of one of the birds tub basins, and with feet outspread, and much splashing he is worrying the bristles off while the train rounds cor ners, and the engineer applies brakes with no apparent reason.
 You are lucky if only one man has a case generally there are two-and by the time the train has reached it's desti- nation and the porter announces that there will be five minutes allowed to clear the coach, you have been able to worm yourself between the shavers and their outfits and apply sufficient water to relieve the strain until you are able to get to your own blessed sanctum-and can spread out over things yourself.-Detroit Free Press.

The Effective Blockade.

Down in the Ozark mountains in Missouri a good old Baptist of the hardshell type was called to preach at a church where the young men of the place were prone to get up and leave if the preacher said anything they didn't like. After the opening prayer, the old preacher looked his congrega- tion over and said:
 ''Now, after get to preachin' don't want Rag, Tag and Bobtail to be a jumpin' up an runnin' out" About halfway in the sermon, young man got up and made for the door. Paus- ing in his sermon the old preacher pointed his finger at the retreating fig ure: "Yonder goes Rag" he said in a loud voice. After he had preached a few minutes another youth left the room. "Yonder goes Tag" cried the preacher. Needless to say, no more of the congregation cared to leave un- til duly dismissed.-Oregon Journal.

IS THE "NEW YORK" OF EGYPT
Alexandria's Port Harbor Ships Bear. ing the Flags of Every Nation
 in the World.

There are few cities that can look back to past like that of Alexandria, and fewer still with such a past that can contrive to keep up with the times and look forward to the future. The relics of 25 dead centuries of Alex andrian history have to be looked for in the guide books. In the city itself they are covered up by the latest mod ern improvements. A few erudite Al. exandrians may argue about the real nationality of Cleopatra, but most of them are talking about cotton prices and the latest project for dredging the harbOr.
 Cairo has been called the Washing ton of Egypt. It is the seat of gov ernment, the city where diplomacy and politics abound. If Cairo is Washing ton, Alexandria is New York. It is the great port of entry for all Egypt. Every flag in the world floats on the ships behind the breakwater. Every tongue in the world is heard on the crowded streets. The past may have been glorious, but the present is con siderably closer and more vital. There fore, let us see about floating an is- sue of paving bonds and get that string of street lamps up.
 This is the attitude of the typical modern Alexandrian. If he belongs to the educated classes he has an en- tirely adequate acquaintance with the history of his city; but neither he nor his city is interested in history. They are both primarily commercial. Yet to the visitor the past must outweigh the present. Alexandria today is, af- ter all, no more than a weak imita- andria in the past was the heart and the turning point of events that de- termined the histery of the world.
 From the lighthouse on the Pharos -lineal descendant of the first light house in the world-up the harbor and through to the Nile, Alexandria and the country around about are full of memories of the cOnqueror who found ed the city, of the Romans who con- quered it, of the Pharaohs who lent 1t their patronage, of Cleopatra the queen, who lost it, of the victorious Mohammedans who swept through it and destroyed the greatest library the world has ever seen. Alexandria's present, with it's paving and it's street lamps, fades into insignificance. It is nothing but a commercial sideshow. Once it was the center of the world Stopo

Tricks of the Trade.

"If one knows the few basic secrets 1t is not difficult to write poetry" con- fessed Tennyson J. Draft. Having secured your primal plot, select your rhymes. And it is a curious fact that similarity in the terminal syllables of certain words tends to suggest concep- tions that harmonize both in consOn- ance and in sentiment. For example, a friend is seriously indispOsed. You wish to cheer the poor invalid with an original poem. His condition provides the motif, and the words ill., 'pill' and 'bill' not only rhyme beautifully, but tell the whole story with admirable conciseness." ."-Kansas City Star.
