Alien Enemies
EDITOR THE TINES:

Allow me little space IN your
valuable paper to ask fair ques-
ton. Why are we SO very lax in
our punishment for the tools OF
the kaiser, such as we have here
in Tacoma? And we do have many.
but some of them have enough
sense to keep their mouths shut,
before strangers at least.
Tacoma is irregular hot-bed for
the sons of Kaiser Bill. It's
mystery to me why this pro-Ger-
man ring is not broken up here.
It's allowed to go on today just
as much as ever 1t did, and they
meet and talk over things almost
right openly and as brazen as
ever, and have hopes yet of Ger
many's licking us, and they will
even tell you so, that the crown
prince will be our next president,
etc.
It's about time we got busy and
rounded up these fellows and at
least intern them for safe keeping.
We should have done as Canada
did at the very beginning OF the
war, rounded up all German citi-
zens, and put them into an in
ternment camp. Where would
Canada have been today If shoshad
not done SO?
It's a disgrace the way we let
them at liberty in Tacoma, even
those who we have caught red
handed at their dirty. work, and
let them off with well, IL We
catch you again, we will punish
you, etc. Take the case of that
doctor, and again that barber
who was caught out at camp spy
ing and was proven to be there fol
the express purpose OF getting all
he could for the Germans, a Ger
man citizen and soldier, and was
well paid for his work by the Ger
man government for his spying
here in Tacoma. Many a trip has
he made to Seattle and Portland
in the last three years to tip off
their agents. After being found
guilty he was kept in jail for
about a month and then let out
on parole, and is now back in
barber business where he can
again come in contact with our
boys and all that is going on at
camp and here In town.
He will bear watching and very
closely, too. There is just one
place where that kind of people IL
safe and that Is locked up under
guard all the time.
We know perfectly we'll what
would have happened to any
American citizen had he been
caught in Germany doing just one

SHOEMAKER RESIGNS

City Controller Fred Shoemaker
filed his resignation with City
Clerk Nickeus at noon Monday.
The resignation will be placed
before the city council Tuesday
morning and the council will prob
ably name a temporary controller
at the same session, to fill the
vacancy.
Shoemaker said Monday that he
would file his nomination petit
lions Tuesday morning for couu-
Gilman. He had about 40 signed
petitions on his desk Monday for
filing, but declared that large
number Of friends had taken out
petitions for him, and had asked
him not to file until they had all
been returned.
John M. Roberts, chief deputy
In Shoemaker's office, will proba-
bly, be named controller by the
council to fill the vacancy until
the successful aspirant at the
April elections takes office. j..

BATHHOUSE
NOW GOES

Members OF the Tacoma park
board found themselves in posses
sion of the Mercedes baths, at PIT.
Defiance, when they met for the
bi-monthly session Monday.
j. B. Howard, the concession
aire who was allowed to build
the bathhouse in 1906 on a r.
year agreement, notified the park
board Monday that he didn't
want to continue operation any
longer. The concession was to
expire in June.
Repairs amounting to $4,000
must be made before the bath
house can be reopened. Park
commissioners are undecided
whether they will open the tank
this year, because of the expense.
