5000 SOLDIERS
CUTTING SPRUCE
FOR AIRPLANES

The Ais Squadron, Aviation Sec
tion, U. S. Marine Corps, have gone
to Clallam County to work in the
Puget Sound Mills & Timber Com
pany's logging camps.
Col. Brice Disque, in charge of the
"spruce production division of the
United States army" says three
thousand soldiers will be cutting
spruce in Northwest camps by the
end of this week.
"The men were nearly all recruited
in Wisconsin, and have had expert
ence in the woods"
Now, just for minute permit a
civilian to criticise Col Disque's faulty
judgment in the selection of loggers
from the Michigan and Wisconsin
woods. 1t is true that these men
"have had experience in the woods"
but it would seem that Camp Lewis
soldiers would have been the proper
forces from which to select loggers
familiar with the woods of the
Northwest. Loggers from the pine
woods of Michigan and Wisconsin
have lot to learn when they get
into the tall timber of the Pacific
Northwest.
Then, too, these Marines did not
quit their jobs as civilians to work
on tougher ones as soldiers. These
Marines joined the service because
they thought there was to be some
fighting in it; whereas, there are
some soldiers at Camp Lewis who
would prefer the woods to the trench.

The following telegram was clip
ped from Wednesday evenings star;
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Jan. What is the
fate of the seven missing American
soldiers of the y taken prisoner by
the Germans in their trench raid of
November 30
Thousands of Sammies over the
American zone were left to draw
their conclusions today on whether
the Boches had murdered the seven
helpless captives. The matter was
called to every soldiers attention
in an official division bulletin cir
cuIated today. The article sets
forth these facts:
In the November raid the Boches
took II prisoners.
Later an illustrated German paper
printed photographs of the first
American prisoners, surrounded by
a taunting crowd in Berlin-AND
1 he I NJ lOGhA1 II Sf1OW ED
ONLY FIVE PRISONERS.
The bulletin makes no suggestions
as to the fate of the missing seven,
but few officials are hopeful that
they are yet alive.
A certain famous major general,
commenting on the German atroci-
ties, declared: The Huns mistreat-
ment Of prisoners is one of the most
frightful chapters Of the war. The
Sammies must be warned and must
be prepared to sell their lives at the
highest price, to fight to death, even
in the face of overwhelming num-
bers"
The traditional good humor of the
Americans was transformed into bit
ter rage when the Sammies today
read bulletins announcing the Ger
man plans to treat future American
prisoners as persons of no intelli-
gence,' and to place them under un-
usual hardships

KAISER GETS LUMBER
WITH BAYONET POINT

That Germany is obtaining her
airplane material with forced labor
in invaded Russian forests, the
prisoners being driven from dawn
until dark at the bayonet's point, is
the assertion of Col Brice Disque,
commanding the spruce production
division of the army signal corps,
in letter to the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen urging
them to lend their whole support to
production of spruce for aeroplane
stock.
Say, Colonel, why not use the
bayonet on the Lazy, Loafing Loyal
Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen.
Their patriotism will not spur them
on to speed up production. Maybe
bayonets behind the beastly brag-
ging, bulldozing bosses might help
some.

WASHINGTON'S
NEW INDUSTRY
IN BEET SUGAR

The phenomenal growth of sugar
beets in the Yakima Valley this year
marks the beginning of another i'm
portant industry in this state.
Although of recent beginning the
beet sugar factory at Yakima will
this year crush from 100000 to 1,000,-
900 tons of beets, and yield twelve
million pounds of sugar The pro-
ductiveness and high percentage of
beets in this valley surpass the
worlds record. The beets this year
averaged 16 per cent in sugar, and
some specimens ran as high as 27
per cent. Individual beets weigh
often as high as "a pounds. The
beet tops bring 81 ton from dairy
and sheep farmers, and the pulp
remaining after the sugar is eX-
tracted constitutes the most nutri
tious cattle food in the world. Two
additional sugar factories have been
contracted for in the valley and
next year the Yakima district will
produce 5O,OOO,OOO pounds of sugar,
enough to feed the state without any
importation from the outside, on the
basis of three pounds of sugar to
each person, month, which is the
basis of consumption recommended
by Mr.. Hoover. Beet sugar will some
day be tried out in Western Wash
ington, the speaker prophesied.

THIS is THE WAY 1T
is DONE IN ITALY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. - Every
acre of tillable land in Italy has
been requisitioned and will be redis-
tributed equally among all the peo-
pie, according to official Rome ca
bles.
Cost of purchasing seed, fertilizer
and implements will be borne by the
government, it was stated, and all
expenses of persons cultivating the
soil will be paid until the crops are
harvested next summer.
Scientific instruction will be given
the farmers, and highly specialized
and intensified farming will be in
sisted upon.
The distribution of land is gratu-
tous. No charge ever will be col
lected for the land, it is said here,
but the government will see that
products are diverted so they will
be of the greatest possible value to
Italians at war.

r. c. COFFY WILL
LEAVE EVERETT

R. C. Coffy, who has been man
ager of the Everett Gas Company
for the last three years, will in a
few days leave for Sapulpa, Okla
homa, to take charge of the electric
plant in that city for the Byllesby Co.
During his residence in Everett
Mr.. Coffy has by fair dealing and
his sunny disposition made friends
of all men with whom he came in
contact.
More men like Coffy to shed the
warm rays of optimism over the
community is what Everett needs.
He is public spirited to a degree
which makes the promoters of good
square propositions seek his aid, and
let it here be said that they kept
him busy Let us indulge the hope
that Mr.. Coffy will return to us
ere long, for we need him and more
men like him.
Mr.. w. w. Flanders, superintend-
ent of the local plant, also well
known and highly respected in this
city will succeed Mr.. Coffy as man
ager.
Mrs. r. C. Coffy, who has also
taken an active part in civic af-
fairs, will leave behind host of
warm friends. She was Treasurer
of the State Parent Teachers Asso-
citation, active in Red Cross and
Service League work and a leader in
City Beautiful activities.
The people of Everett regret to
lose the Coffys and wish that their
surroundings may be pleasant in
their new Oklahoma home
