Send Your Boys Name
to University Girls

Seattle girls, or rather the girl
students of the University of
Washington, are collecting the
names of all of the men from that
university who have gone into the
service. This list will be used
for benefit work for the men, such
as sending them candy and letters
and tobacco. If you have some
one, such as brother, sweetheart
or son, who used to go to Wash
bngton, help them by sending the
. name and address of your soldier.

Our Flag

Symbol of our sovereignty - OF
the dignity, power and independ-
ence of the nation.
Symbol of the lofty ideals of
national honor and personal
liberty for which our forefathers
fought at the birth of the nation.
Symbol of the loyalty of greas
people firmly and forever fused by
the fires of the Civil War.
In brief, a symbol OF the high
est degree of liberty, of justice,
and of popular rule which civili-
cation has so far developed.
Our flag is the standard which
we fling to the breeze in time of
peace to express our patriotism,
and the glory of our citizenship.
The standard around which we
rally in time of national danger
and which we must, like our fore
fathers, be ready and glad to fol-
low into battle when our country
calls.

PEACE, NEVER,
SAYS TROTSKY

PETROGRAD, Jan. 29.--'We

the message to the pan-Sowet con-
gress, delivered today by Foreign

The congress was also advised
by an official statement from

| that the only unfair thing would
be NOT to establish the eight-hour
day.
$50 far as l am advised, no
other lumber producing district Is
situated as is the Pacific North
west in its surrounding circum-
stances" says Wilson. Nearly
all the large industries of the
coast are being operated on an
|eight-hour work day with time and
one-half for overtime.
THE wage rate for all classes
of labor Is high as compared with
the pre-war period. These indus
tries are absorbing large numbers
of men.
"They will not go into the
lumber business on 10
hour basis when they can Sc
cure an eight-hour work day
In the immediate vicinity with
rs high or higher wages and
more comfortable housing
conditions and social sur
rOundings.
las result, the lumber indus
try in the Pacific Northwest is
short of labor. The spruce pro-
duction is not more than SO per
cent of the needs of the govern
ment, and / am advised by Mr..
Hurley that the shipping board is
unable to get the fir it needs for
shipbuilding purposes.
Under these circumstances, i
believe it is imperative that the
Pacific Northwest lumbermen
should accede to a basic eight
hour work day, with time and
one-half for overtime"

Our DUTY

Our country is now at war with
a powerful foe which has destroy
ed the lives and property of our
people and dishonored our sover-
eighty.
This enemy is now kept from
our doors not by our own pre-
paredness to defend our nation,
but because other countries are
holding him at bay.
These friendly countries are
fighting for all that which our flag
|symbolizes.
Victory is still in the distance.
Until it is won our country is in
grave danger.
We must give service and
money, and life itself, If neces-
sary.
We must cease dreaming. Each
of us must face the facts and act,
that our national honor, rights and
self-respect shall be maintained,
and that democracy may live and
prevail over autocracy and the
militarism which sustains it.

Wife Tries to Nurse Poverty-Stricken Man Back to
Health After Reconciliation in Squalid Home

Lying on the floor of rude little
shanty on the outskirts of Penbrook,
George Hawk was found dead this
morning. Hawk was suffering from
a mplication- of diseases and went
to his little shanty to die, and there,
his wife found him this morning,
lying on the floor, covered with sew
eral ragged old coats.
Hawk and his wife quarreled sew
eral years ago, and lived apart until
few days ago. When his wife
learned of his illness, she came to
the little hut and nursed him. In
the crudely-built shack, she stayed
with him yesterday, when he seemed
to be on the road to recovery, she
fell asleep after long nights of weary
vigil by his bedside. When she
awoke, he was dead.

Government Plans May Be Changed So That Middetown

u. S. Widens Scope of
Operations on West Front;
Hold Famous Battle Line
By Associated Prcss

Washington, Feb. 1S.-As the time
for military operations on the west
ern front approaches, the American
eXpeditionary force is widening it's
sphere of activity along the front
lines. Not only do American soldiers
hold a sector of the front east of st.
Mihiel, but American artillery is
helping the French in Champagne
and infantrymen in company with
French units are holding the front
lines in one of the most famous bat
tie fronts in the world.
1t is not disclosed where this front
is, but it is described as being a
place where ruined villages and de-
vastated country tell of hard-fought
battles in which the Germans push
ed forward only to be driven back
later by the French. The Americans
are we'll equipped to deal with the
enemy and their officers with diff
flculty restrain them from attacking
the Germans at every opportunity.
Ruses Unsuccessful
On the American sector. especial
ly, the Germans have tried various
ruses in an endeavor to outwit the
newcomers in the battle line, but in
vain. Raids have had no effect. The
enemy has tapped and destroyed
telephone lines; he has sent up false
signals, and has charged his wire
entanglements with electricity, but
he has been out maneuvered each
time.
Except for a few small raids only
the artillery has been active at var
iouJ points on the British, French
and American fronts. British air.

Mifflin, Pa, Feb. 1S.-One of
the most destructive fires in the his
tory of the borough early to-day
destroyed three large buildings at a
loss of ,s125,oOO, and for a time
threatened to spread throughout
the entire business district.
Smoke was discovered pouring
out of the McMeen department store
soon after midnight and before an
alarm could be sounded had spread
until it was out of control. Fire
fighters from the borough and from
Miflintown and the Pennsylvania
Railroad, however, We're able to
save the adjoining buildings.
The largest department store in
Mifffin, hardware store adjoining
it equally as large, and q restaurant
with an apartment overhead, were
completely destroyed by the blaze,
which started of unknown origin
about o'clock this morning. At 10
O'Clock flames were still burning in
the embers of the ruined buildings.
For an hour, while firemen vainly
struggled with frozen hreplugs,
Pennsylvan Railroad firemen
fought the flames with the railroad
chemicals and tanks. The railroad
fireplugs were not frozen, and for a
while. the only water available for
fighting the fire was from these
plugs. At $50 the fire was at its
height, with all three of the build
ings in flames, and the dwelling near
the doomed buildings in immediate
danger of the flames. Firemen de-
voted their efforts to the prevention
of the spread of the flames. For
an hour it was thought that large
part of the town was doomed, but
the PENNSYLVANIA firemen and citi-
zens of the town united their efforts
and prevented it's spread.
