money unquestionably has financed
the organization behind the railway
strike in Argentina, which is becom-
ing increasingly grave. The propa-
gandists' opportunities have been
heightened by the miserable wages Of
the railway workers. The entire
western railway, penetrating the
grain belt; the Northern federal rail
way and the Rosario Port Works, are
paralyzed. The Southern railway is
also threatened by the strike.

Reservoir Dams In Tunis.

Already the French are looking for
ward to the rapid development Of the
province of Tunis in Africa. Accord
ing to civil engineer who has been
investigating the matter there are
about 35 localities in that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reservoir capacities ranging from g.
600, 900 to 4OO,OOOOOO cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 30 to 5000
horse power of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated to
be small in comparison with those of
dams already built In Europe and the
United States, and the utilization of
the water for irrigation, electrical
power, and in one case canal naviga-
ton is estimated to furnish good
margin of profit. The numerous ruins
Of Roman dams found in Tunls show
by what methods the country became
''the granary of Rome" under the EN-
pire and the ruins Of large cities, with
coliseulns, bath and temples Of great
size standing in what are now barred
plains, are evidence Of the success OF
the organized methods Of irrigation OF
those ancient times.

IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA
How Women Of France Arc Doing
Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels
of Industry Moving.

An interesting narration Of opera
don under unique and difficult condi-
lions Of an iron foundry in the war
area Is given by the correspondent OF
British paper writing from the nr1ng
line in France. He relates: One does
not see much foundry work out here,
but few weeks ago was billeted IN
a town near by, and actually saw a
cupola in full blast. at once got per-
mission to have a look around, and
was greatly surprised at what l saw.
The foundry was very primitive af'
fair-just little jobbing shop-and
was mostly run by French women and
girls, superinte8aed by few men.
These women were making work up to
three or four hundred pounds In
weight, and in little side shop some
half dozen women were making COM
ponent parts of machinery by the
simple method of bedding-in. I after
ward saw some Of the finished work,
and It would put to shame the work
done by many Of our so-called molders
at home. The women work In ordi-
nary dress. and work very clean and
exact in both iron and brass, and also
under shell fire and air raids. In the
shop was great hole where a Ger
man had dropped bomb the night be-
fore, but the women still worked on

Made Brave Rescue.

Once terror to mariners, Minots
light, which stands on a reef off Bos-
ton harbor, has another thrilling story
added to its history, says the Popular
Mechanics. magazine. Three days be-
fore Christmas, Captain Octavius
Reamey, the keeper. approached the
tower In his motorboat which was
loaded with provisions and fuel OBJ
tanned on the mainland. AS the craft
drew up, it was overturned by the
waves that were breaking over the base
of the structure, leaving the captain
battling alone in tossing maelstrom
Of icy water. The assistant keeper was
lowered on a rope from the door fifty
feet above. He managed to seize the
drowning man before 1t was too late,
and both men were pulled from the
water by their companions to the door
way high in the tower.

WHEN he MADE RECORD JUMP
Younester Was Trying 70 Escape De
= He Thought Was Mad, 90 There
Was Abundant Reason.

Commander G. B. Fry, who has TEN
porarily relinquished athleticism In or
der to train boys for the navy, do.
scrlbed to me the other day how he
first came to discover his ability %
q Jumper.
''When quite youngster," he said.
~ was one day strolling along close to
our house, when there came bounding
along the road in my direction an ez.
ceedingly wicked-looking terrier I HAD
recently become possessed Of.
"The animal was foaming at the
mouth and showed other unmistakable
signs Of excitement and distress. Hy'
drophobia was rife in the district ae
the time. A horrid fear gripped me.
Turning swiftly aside, took the ditch
and hedge bordering the road In one
wild leap, landed safely in an or
chard on the other side, and was up q
plum tree few seconds later.
1.-THE dog, however, followed through
q gap In the hedge and sat ut the bot
tom Of the tree, but he brought toad
in his mouth, and perceived he was
not mad beyond the degree of trying to
eat the toad. So I came down, and
went to have a look at the hedge
had jumped over.
1T was much higher than my head,
not to mention the ditch. 1t was many
years before I jumped as high again."

Great AppIe Industry.

The apple industry in the United
States today represents stupendous
commercial achievement. 1t had
grown to 6O,OOO,OOO barrels in 1918 ;
it dropped to 2s,OoO,OOO in 1911, and
went up again to 100000 barrels in
1912, From this date forward there u
a continual increase in the production,
for the great cities Of the world are
crying for apples, and people every.
where are Just beginning to apprehend
the actual value Of this delicate fruit.
We are turning backward to our heri-
taRe, for in the days Of our great.

"For q quarter Of century farm
ers of North Dakota have been work
ing for mills and elevators. People
have wanted them but why have they
not gotten them? Because there has
been too much haste to put things
over before demands were crystalixed.
Youthink you nave a farmers organ
ization. You have only an organisa-
ton of votes. The organization is
in the hands of Townley. I'm moro in
favor of one great industry in our
state-the farming industry. They
must organize their brains-not their
votes alone.
"The overshadowing thing just now
is winning the war. Our citizens
generally are patriotic. Who ever
questioned the loyalty of the farm
ers? We have had spectacle Of a
political boss going up and down the
state saying that the farmers are 10y
al. OF course, they are loyal"
M. P. johnson, state railway com
missioner, gave an interesting ad-
dress. Mr.. Johnson is the first man
who signed his name as a member of
the nonpartisan league, and he says he
is still member. He said the farm
ers need an organization but he de-
plores the attempt being made by the
nonpartisan leaders to get the mem-
bers to hear and to read but one side
of the question. He said it is on
tirely safe to turn North Dakota over
to the farmers, and let them go ahead
with dictation from Socialist leaders.
81 believe the nonpartisan league
will be of benefit to US farmers yet,
but not if it is directed from an office
in st. Paul. l wonder how the old
Equity men justify the action Of the
governor in wiping out the terminal
elevator bill which we worked so hard
to get and which was enacted by the
nonpartisan legislators. No man has
yet attempted to discuss it with me.
We wiped it out because we wanted
to- they will say. l challenge any
body to debate that question with me. /"

fallen the heaviest burden. Be-
cause he can speak Italian his Of
flee has generally about 20 stand
ing in line. They come from all
parts of the state. l dropped into
his office Christmas eve at 8
o'clock. He was still working
making out questionnares. He
had been steadily at it since early
morning. There we're still five or
SIX waiting their turn, and he had
not yet had his supper. 1t has
been almost as bad as this every
day since the work began, and yet
l have not once heard him COM
plain.
Another point OF view. Nine
tenths of the steady stream that
have been sent to me by the local
boards claim exemption from serv-
ice because they are aliens. They
do not want to fight for this coun-
try, nor for their own. The only
crouch / have is that l have to do
nate my services to such men.
l am sorry you began the new
year with knock" There is yet
time for you to turn over a new
leaf. Why don't you hunt up some
of the good things that are being
done in this burg and praise
them? 1t might make people rub
their eyes to read The Times but
they would soon get used to it,
and the result would make this a
better city to live In.
1t has been your custom to ex-
plot us as parasites" and "shys-
ters," and I have no doubt you
have felt glow of self-righteous-
ness in SO doing, but when you
call us ''slackers" you cannot get
away with 1t. What cards have
you? Put them face up on the
table!

The time is not far distant in
Tacoma when the prospective trav-
oler must tell why he wants to
make q trip before he can get a
ticket, in teh opinion of at least
one Tacoma railway official, now
working for Uncle Sam.
And II the prospective traveller
says ITS none of your business"
he won't get a ticket; and IL he
intends to go on pleasure trip he
wont get ticket, either.
II believe the time is coming
soon when the only passengers al
lowed to ride on the trains will
be those who are travelling on ur-
gent private business or on gov
ernment business" said this Of
fetal.
Opinions Differ
There was some difference OF
opinions Wednesday on the ques-
tion whether the decrease of the
number Of trains from Tacoma to
Portland will remain permanent
Three trains are being operated
now instead of nine.
William Carruthers of the o.
w. r. & N. gave the opinion that
the change will be permanent
while Judge Rein, assistant to the
vice-president of the N. p. declar-
cd 1t will not necessarily be so.

HOMEBREWING
CAUSE OF ROW

Too much homemade beer in
a New Years day celebration al
most ended tragically in the
family Of r. F. Lyons, q colored
man living in Opera court.
Policeman Anderson saw
Lyons running down the court at
midnight Tuesday. He started in
pursuit, and found that the col
ored man was being pursued by a
colored woman armed with a
huge AS automatic revolver. An
derson arrested Lyons and his
wife and took them to Jail. A
family row, heightened by the
indulgence in homemade beer,
caused the trouble. A large tub
of beer, not yet thru the process
of brewing, was found in the Lyon
home.

Oh, tut, tut, Mr.. Johnston!
The information that about 80
per cent of Tacoma's lawyers
have been Sinking their draft
board work was furnished me
by q committee Of Tacoma
lawyers, including men whose
practice ranks among the
largest in the city.
They are proposing to call
q meeting of the bar assOcia-
ton to ai,t the situation, so
you no doubt will receive fur
Their information from your
fellow attorneys shortly.
AS lawyers frequently do
in the trial of case, you i'm
restating what The Times
said editorially give only q
partial, and therefore an un-
true. summary.
We did not say 80 per cent
of the lawyers were slackers;
we said 80 per cent of them
were slackers or careless and
asked the public to give them
the benefit of the doubt and
presume them to be careless.
Mr.. Gagliardi, ! have no
doubt, is one of the p" Uer
cent; knowing him for .

You doubtless are in the same
category.
But you tell how exce&-
ingly busy with QUESTIONABLE
work You and he have been.
Has 1t occurred to you that IL
all the 1OO-odd attorneys in
Tacoma were doing their part,
as yOu two are doing yours,
that the burden would not fall
SO heavily on the few?
And as to the subject Of

EDITOR THE TINES:

see you have taken another
crack" at the lawyers. When
ever you are short on local news
you generally do. Either you
think 1t adds to the popularity Of
your paper or you are afflicted
with what is sometimes described
as "lawyerphobia."
This time you accuse the profess
sion of being slackers in making
out the questionnares-at least
you say 80 per cent of them are,
without mentioning any names-a
form of back-biting quite popular
with those who shirk the respon-
sibility for their own accusation.
Now, Mr.. Editor. If there are any
lslackers among the profession let's
have their names.
So far as my observation goes
the lawyers of this city have been
doing practically nothing else but
make out answers to the questions
since the drive began. And they
have been doing it cheerfully. All
other lines of industry working
for the government have been de-
handing and are getting higher
wages than ever before in their
lives. The lawyers are working for
nothing. Our expenses go on Just
the same. The landlord drops in
the first Of the month with the
same fetching smile. The fact
that we are giving our services to
the government does not pay bills.
/ have not heard a lawyer OBJ
ject to doing this work, and
have heard of none turned away.
The lawyers in my building have
been practically doing nothing
else for the past two weeks. On

MAY Have to Tell Why
to Get Ride on Train

THE taking off of the trains
was purely an emergency measure,
because of the flood conditions"
said Judge Reid. The Point Def
ance line was blocked at Tenino,
throwing 20 passenger trains a
day over the old prairie line Of
the N. p. This was an impossible
situation, as it would have pre-
vented the moving of freight, in
Guiding supplies for the govern
ment.
'The night train was taken off
because of the danger from slides.
Certainly this train will be put on
again as soon as the flood damage
is repaired"
Cut Out Station
More changes in schedules and
service are expected to follow a
meeting of representatives of the
various lines in Seattle Wednes-
day.
One of the latest changes now in
force is the taking off of ALI ex-

An express trai INTO carry all ex-
