but he would have no objection to
having specific provisions written in
to the bill
Regarding exemption Of married
men, Secretary Baker was closely ex-
amined by committee members. Rep
resentative Tilson, of Connecticut,
suggested that many men are being
married to evade the new draft and
that the bill should provide that those
married after the new bill was intro
duced should not be exempt. Mr..
Baker said such a rigid provision OF
the law was unnecessary. that the de-
partment could disregard all mar
riages deemed made to evade the new
law.
Eighty American divisions Of $4,000
men each, General March told the

the number the war department plans
to have in France by next June Goth.

MARINE INSURANCE..
BLOCKS y-bOATs s.
Plan OF GERMAN S.

Washington, Aug 1s-Only nine
ships operated by the shipping board
have been sunk by submarines, and
their loss with that Of all others due
to ordinary marine perils is but frac-
ton of the total premiums paid for
marine and war risk insurance
Estimated losses of all kinds suffer-
ed by the emergency fleet corporation,
which conducts the insurance bureau,
amounts to about s13, 900, while APP
proximately $30,00o,0 900 in premiums
had been set aside up to July 20, last.
Four German vessels, valued at &c.
100000. and five ships, worth $3.50, 900
fell by the sting of the German sea
wasp.
For slightly more than a half-cent
for every dollar value Of ships, the
shipping board insures its vessels
against marine losses between Atlantic
and European ports. An additional
four or five cents for every dollar
covers war losses such as submarine
sinkings damage done by floating
mines and attacks by enemy vessels.
The boards insurance committee is
composed Of Hendon Chubb and H. F.
Eggert, both of New York, and w. r.
The insurance plan is regarded by
the board as great aid in defeating
the objects of the sub-sea warfare.
Property loss is protected, and men
are willing to risk their lives with
their only protection their own watch
fulness and that of the allied navy
Strange events have marked the
submarine warfare and the marine in
surance that helps block it's aims The
Orleans braved the submarine zone a
short time after the Germans had de-
clared ruthless warfare against all
vessels entering the so-called barred
zones. The vessel was unmarked by
the ridiculous striped effect Germany
ordered American vessels to wear
This vessel and another freighter, the
Rochester, were the first to show the
Germans, with whom the United
States was not then at war, that the
American merchant marine would con-
tinue to sail under the American flag
in the face of threats to sink without
warning.
For year both vessels successfully
evaded submarine attacks, although
both were pursued several times With
in the last six months the enemy got
both, but due to war risk and marine
insurance their owners were enabled
for year to operate without risk Of
financial loss

noticeable, and apparently within u
short time they probably will ba fore

ment on a scale that will entirely blot
out the lines. The Lys salient is fast
fading away under the new gains of
the British around Roye, and those OF
the French from Lassigny to the Disc

Germans are in a bad predicament.
Their positions are dominated by al

MEAT INSPECTION
Meeting THURSDAY

After spending all of Wednes-
day morning in executive session
with federal meat inspectors and
representatives of the U. S: Pub
lie health service, Mayor Fawcett
announced an open meeting for
butchers, meat dealers and farm
ers Thursday afternoon to dis
cuss the new federal meat in
spection edict.
The meeting will be held at 2
o'clock in the city council cham
bers, and every butcher and meat
producer in Tacoma and vicinity
is urged to attend.
Federal inspectors insist that
all meat sold in Tacoma be in
spected by federal representatives
before and after slaughtering. The
government has made arrange
ments to have the slaughtering
done at the Carstens Packing
plant.
Because of the strike in effect
at the Carstens plant, and also on
account of the extra expense
caused the farmers by forcing
them to bring live animals into
the city for slaughtering, a loud
protest has been heard at the city
hall over the new order.

There was much confusion in
the court of Judge Card Wednes-
day morning when DIR. Wing Lee,
Chinese doctor, brought suit for
doctor bill against Max Petro-
visch, an Austrian.
The attorneys are G. B. Aid
rich, colored, a son-in-law of DR..
Wing, and Grosscup and Morrow
for the defendant.
AS neither of the parties in the
suit spoke English with any
degree of fluency it was neces-
sary to employ two interpreters.
Mrs. Aldrich, DIR. Wings daughter,
acted for him, and an Austrian
who speaks English represented
Petrovisch.
DIR. Wing testified that the
Chinese doctors make no charge
without cure being effected.
When asked what kind of medi-
cine he gave the patient, he said
that it was something that could
not be said in American.

A German who fought in the
Civil war and wears the uniform
and emblem of a G. A. r. veteran
was one of those who appeared
at police headquarters Tuesday
afternoon to register as alien
German.
The old man explained he had
never taken out naturalization
papers, altho he had fought in
the war and had always consid-
cred himself a citizen. Because OF
his age, he was not forced to
register.
Another German, who has lived
in America so years and has vot-
ed most of that time, was one OF
those who registered. Registra-
ton officers have registered a
large number of aliens who have
been voting illegally under the
impression thgt they were citi-
Zens.
One American citizen was reg
istered Tuesday as German
alien. This man came to America
with his parents when he was a
year old. Later in life, when

ASK WORKERS
TO REGISTER

All skilled workmen in the Ia
coma district who would be able
to work in shipyards If called
upon. will be asked by Mayor
Fawcett to register in the U. s.
Shipyard Volunteers of the Public
Service League.
Fawcett received a letter We'd
nesday from e. n. Hurley of the
U. S. shipping commission, ask
ing him to assist in the registra-
ton of men available for ship
building work. 1t is hoped to
enlist 100000 volunteers.
Hurley explained in his letter
that the fuel orders in the east
and the general shortening of. la
Dor have been directly due to the
nations inability to build ships
fast enough. He said that there
was no use to rush war prepara-
ti0ns unless there were ships
enough to send materials and Inen
across the Atlantic.
