Washington.-Me Is still prob

problem as the war progresses. Ever
since Woodrow Wilson became presi-
dent of the United States he has made
every possible effort TO conciliate Car
rama. and what CarranZa represents,
with a view Of establishing peace ana
rehabilitatlng Mexico in the interests
Of all the people of that distracted
country. Every effort of this kind mas
been met with snubs, diplomatic ana
military; the Carranza government
has been antagonistic to the Wilson
government.
Now comes very serious condition.
The Tampien oil fields and supply are
one of the absolute necessities for the
allies. Ever since the appearance o.
the submarines on the Atlantic coast
there has been lurking suspicion
that the Germans have base in Mex
leo and that possibly the Carranza
government has betrayed civilization
by affording asylum to the Huns com
trary to the laws of neutrality. Win

more being sent there within the next

United States does not want. nay. will
avoid in every possible way confiict

possible that the Mexican situation
may bring about a condition Of affairs
which will necessitate intervention
that will secure the Tampico oil and

vote dto sign a fiye-year contract
to furnish surplus electric power
to the American Nitrates company
at La Grande at figure less than 1t

The rate is based on sliding

furnish a majority OF its electricity

vidual customers to make nitrates.
A minimum charge ranging from
$4,000 the frs. year to s45, 900

tract, and Commissioner Gronen

the soldiers come in they are as
signed to these rooms. In most
cases they do not see their lodg-
ing places until they go there to
retire, and the very fact that they
wish to be returned to the same
place the following week speaks
palmer than any words.
The system is so we'll arranged
that a duplication of occupants is
almost impossible.
Knowing the general congestion
of traffic conditions, the soldiers
are neither requested nor expect
ed to appear at these homes for
lodging places until they wish.
The last street car to the resi-
dence portions of our city are
crowded with our boys in khaki.

In closing let me say, to the

Saturday Rooms
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
| am very glad to reply to the
letter printed in Saturdays Times
under the heading of "Extortion, !"
and written by soldier from
Camp Lewis.
In reference to being asked to
pay 81 and S. for a room which
was anything but desirable, | wish
to state there are hundreds of
rooms, single and double, to be
had in Tacoma in the homes of
loyal citizens for SO cents each and
in some cases no charge at all;
some within easy walking distance
all the way up to Is or 80 min
utes' ride on the street cars.
Many of these places furnish
breakfast for 25 cents and boys
are invited to the Sunday dinner
absolutely free. If you prefer
you can sleep as long as you wish.
The placing of the soldiers in
these rooms is conducted by a
committee of women at the Y. M.
c. A. every Saturday p. M. and
they are donating their time and
efforts to put you soldiers in
touch with good, clean rooms,
baths, home cooked meals, music
and your church in case you care
to go.
1t is surprising to learn how
much the touch of home life ap-
peals to some Of these boys, how
they love to romp with the chill
dren of the family and play buck
ing bronchos with the tiny tots.
They come and ask to be sent to
the same home Saturday after
Saturday.
In some homes they can study
If they wish, write letters, do just
as they would were they in a
hotel.
1t isn't necessary, after spend
ing so much of your time in wait
ing for transportation to reach
Tacoma to then spend a couple of
hours looking up a room.
This has been done for you by
this group of women. They have
a list that has been carefully in
spected. No over-crowding, over
charging or disregard of sanitary
Conditions is tolerated.

Why not have such places for

large quantity of cheap surplus
power, he said.
Scrap Again.
A sharp tilt between Mayor
Fawcett and Commissioner Gron-
en- came when the mayor an
nounced that he wouldn't agree to
a five-year contract.
Il don't want anyone I osay
that I'm feathering my nest over
any such contract" said Fawcett,
looking at Gronen.
No one is saying such a thing,
SO far as i know" retorted Gro
men.
You're looking out for your
own interests, not those of the peo-
ple," charged the mayor.
81 certainly don't need you to
look after me-" said the commits
s:oner.
You bet you do" replied the
mayor. THE whole bunch of MS
have to watch you to keep you
from slipping something, over on
the city. It's men Nike you that
a community has to watch"
well, you can look after me all
you d. please, | don't care" said
Gronen. I'm better qualified to
handle a matter like this than you
and | don't care who disputes it,"
Altho the mayor voted against
the contract, the majority vote of
the council makes it mandatory
that he should sign the contract
when it Is presented to him.
