CITY STARTS WORK
OF CLEANING UP
SPECIAL COMMITTEE COOPER
ATING WITH FEDERAL OFF.
- GALS IN INSPECTIONS.

7 Systematic efforts toward the
cleaning up of Olympia to conform
with strict sanitary regulations are
now in progress, with a special COM
mittee of local men and women work
ing in cooperation with the United
States public health authorities.
Inspection of local business estab-
lishments is being done by the army
officers, who make reports on each
firm to the general committee, the
members of which then keep in
touch with conditions and see that
the desired improvements are made.
Business men generally are cooper
ating in the work and in only one or
two instances has any serious condi-
ton been found or difficulty encoun-
tered. the committee says.
State Librarian J. M. Hit. who
was elected chairman of the special
sanitary committee at the mass meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce last
Friday evening and authorized to
select the other members, appointed
Rev. r. Franklin Hart, secretary of
the County Council of Defense, as
vice chairman, and Mrs. P. M. Troy
Mrs. w. F.. Lea, DR.. w. L. Bridgford,
Otto Braeger, James Martin, J. G.
Bourus and c. A. Rose as the other
members. The committee Is holding
frequent meetings.
AS soon as the work in the busi-
i. ness section of the city is gotten we'll
IN hand, the committe proposes to
.s;arry it throughout the residence
,sectiOn, with essential attention to
back yards, alleys and vacant lots.
much of the difficulty would be
removed If people learned to burn up
the perishable garbage" Chairman
Hit said yesterday. "The city was
compelled by the military authorities
to close the garbage dump on the
waterfront because perishable ar
ticles were mixed up with the other.
making disagreable condition as
they rotted."
Continued inspections by Mrs. w.
H. Coffin, deputy state hotel and res
taurant inspector, resulted in the
closing of a Chinese restaurant, the
Eagle Cafe, and the assessment of q
fine of $500 and costs against the
proprietor, All Sing, for having
spoiled meat and adulterated flour
for sale for human consumption.
Sing was ordered to close the res
taurant, renovate it thoroughly and
not to reopen it until it had been
passed by the inspectors.
Mrs. Coffin also brought charge
against the Olympia Cafe of having
adulterated -four for use and testi-
fed that. except for the -four, the
restaurant was otherwise in excellent
shape. She said she thought the
flour had been placed too close to
the stove. The proprietor testified
the -four had not been used, as all
pastry and bread were bought else
where. He was given the minimum
!. fine of $25.
I. At a hearing before Justice Cros-
'by Friday morning, Mrs. Coffin and
two of the federal inspectors testi-
fed that Cranes restaurant was in
excellent shape except the floor of
the ice chest. The minimum fine of
$25 was assessed.

misrepresented by our own people and
the enemy as sign of an eagerness
and to quit will have no effect. The
president knows in his heart tina. no
harm can come from preaching JUS
tice, and he probably will continue to
do so while he is the virtual spokes-
man of a cause that has justice for it's
slogan. Peace some day is coming.
Preliminaries to peace must lake
months. Already much ground has
been cleared in the last three years.
The Independent socialists in Germany
didn't dare raise thei' voice three
years ago when England was pro-
nouncing war aims which meant the
of Germany, Austria
and Turkey. 1t was easy for the,
militarist Turkey to rally all classes
on the ground that Germany was
a defensive war, a struggle
for existance. Little by little. the
principle originally proclaimed by Mr..
Asquith and Viscount Grey, and epito-
mized by Mr.. Wilson, ito make the
world safe for democracy" came to
be the central aim Of the ali~I cause.
Little by little, the socialists i Ger
many are beginning to understand
that there is something in the en-
emy's cry for democracy. Mr.. Wilson
is insistent that the prese It war shall
not be in vain. Those who think he
would accept peace at any price sim
ply do not know the man. Before the
final settlement s made there i5 go
ing to be much friction. much criti-
,ism, much dissen ON, but the out
cry will come from those who think
Mr.. Wilson Is too anxious to make
peace, not from those who know of
he presidents insistence on an un-
selfish and equitable peace.
