SCHOOL CHILDREN QUIET WHEN
FIRE CALL SOUNDS
Central Ward Kids Showed Their
Mettle at Fire Drill When
Sure Enough Alarm Came
Came in Last Tuesday.

The advantage of fire drill In the
public schools came to good account
Tuesday forenoon, when sure
enough fire alarm was turned In
from the Central Ward building be-
tween Beech and Cedar on Sixth av-
enue, for the children, several hun
dred of them. took their teachers
fire drill orders as though nothing
were wrong. and marched out Of the
building in as orderly fashion as n
brigade Of infantry on dress parade.
Fortunately. the fire didn't amount
to anything. or may have been ii
false alarm: 1t doesn't matter. for
the point is the behavior OF the chill
dren in the case of what was beliey-
ed to be real fire.
In most fires in public buildings.
where the fatalities have ben large,
the big trouble has been panic, and
humans have as little judgment as
animals when they are panic-strick
en-. The school children are drilled
eoftn in fire drill ard have definite
and certain orders from their teach
ers for emptying the buildings. In
most cases the practice signal comes
without warning to the pupils. who
are thereby taught self-control un-
der unusual circumstances.

SEES UNITY OF AMERICAN LABOR
AS INSPIRATION TO THE WORLD

dom and refused to follow politicians
who seek to lead them into dis
honorable peace. Political leaders
of workers in France are more reck-
less in their desire for conferences
with Germans, and it is in that dir
ection that the chief danger lies.
Once away from political leaders
and this hectic flush dies out in a
solid, common, fearless, almost
tranquil population living a work-a-
day life intent upon wringing from
the soil and machinery the last
ounce of productivity.
With American troops pouring in
to France and with more publicity
being given to their arrival and their
splendid conduct in France, the peo-
pie of France and Britain are being
heartened and frightened. The Trade
Union Mission has taken to the peo-
Piles of the Allies an encouraging
message of American Labor's firm
determination and high resolve; but
above this is its effect upon a people
outworn by long and terrific strug-
gle-the tidings, the sight of fight
ing men in khaki from the great
Republic across the big sea.
The Mission will bring home to
the people of America a message
of grim necessity, a story of un-
precedented sacrifice and toll over
here, and lastly, the soul-stirring
echo of the constantly expressed
love and admiration of the French
and British people for the people
of the United States and their great
President.

KAISER CARLTON

Had any union man defied the

President Carlton of the Western
Union, hue and cry would have
been raised throughout the country
against him as an enemy of the
country. He would have been branded
pro-German, pro-Kaiser, and worse
than an l. w. w.
Cartons position must not save
him. His prominence in fact in
densifies his unfriendliness to the war
board. He must not be spared.
Kaiser Carlton he is to the employees
Of the Western Union, 200 of whom
have been thrown out of work in
Seattle for no other reason than. that

II he can get away with his de-
fiance of the United States govern
nent in its war predicament, he is
marking out a path over which this
country will meet with tremendous
difficulty in its effort to win the

Of the nation by his present atti-
tude. He is far more menacing
than any alien spy.

SMALL ATTENDANCE
AT MASS MEETING

At the mass meeting Tuesday night
in the City Park to hear speaking
on the Port District proposition and
initiative measures Nos. 81, 32 and
33, there was small attendance.
A cool westerly wind made it un-
comfortable in the open air and the
speakers shortened their remarks on
this account.
Mr.. G. j. France, attorney for
the Seattle Port Commission, ex-
planned clearly the working of port
districts, and showed the advantages
to the public enjoyed from the pub
lie ownership of docks, warehouses,
cold storage plants and terminal fa-
cilities. He said that beginning in
1911 with an export and import bus
mess of $1O0,000,000 it had grown
to $500, 100000 in the Seattle Port
District. The public ownership of
city water frontage is of inestima-
BILE value to the people.
Mr.. France was followed by Vice
President VIM. j. Coates who address
sed the meeting on Initiative Meas
ure No. 81, making plain to his
hearers the advantages of this mar
keting measure.
Secretary Taylor then gave gen.
eral outline of Initiatives Nos. 80
and 33 and warmed the audience with
a fervent and patriotic peroration.
At the close of the meeting the
audience was given and accepted
an invitation to sign the Initiative
petitions.

pointed general organizer of the

Joined the U. S. navy and has re-

cup Of happiness is full to overflow
