Letter From Grandson
Of Civil War Man

Today when we came to work
the girl in the office downstairs
stopped us and said, Il have
something for you, letter.
Fine" says we.
Yesterday" continued the
pretty blonde, "a man came in
here with a blue suit all covered
with war medals to subscribe for
the paper to be sent to his grand
son In France.
He told us all about what
fine boy he was, and then sud-
denly asked, 4 suppose that you
have heard of the Andersonville
prison? Well, I'm a survivor of
that, and leaving a letter which
he had received from the boy,
the old veteran walked out"
Folks, ] am offering all that
explanation so that you will ex-
cuse me for not having the name
Of the proud grandfather and
Civil war hero, but l will tell you

Buy Service Pins;
Help the Red Cross

The service pin-the badge of
honor-this means so much to the
mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters
and sweethearts of the men in the
service. Every one who has some
one serving his country should
wear one.
Mrs. w. c. Meacham, whose
phone number is Main 9447, is
selling the service pin of the Unit
ed Service Pin Co. Mrs. Meacham
has offered all the money which
she gets from the sale of these
pins to the Tacoma Red Cross.
The pins are very beautiful and
of good quality, worthy of the
cause which they represent.
Get one to honor your boy, and
when you have made up your
mind to purchase one, phone Mrs.
Meacham and make arrangements
with her. Give your money to
the Red Cross and do double tri-
butte to your Sammy of whom you
are so proud.

Free Navigation School

With the correspondence sys-
tenn and personal instruction now
in full swing, the Washington
state free navigation school in Ia
coma is equipping scores of young
men in Tacoma and along the Pa
cific coast to become officers in
the merchant marine of the u. S.
shipping board.
Enrolment in the local school,
situated in the federal building, is
maintaining its former average.
Hundreds of inquiries relative
to the correspondence method of
teaching navigation are pouring
into the Tacoma school from ma
riners along the Pacific coast and
in Alaska, according to Prof.
James Gould, local instructor.
Prof. Gould announces that no
matter where a person is, he can
be instructed in navigation and
qualify to become an officer by
correspondence.
AS a step in the campaign to
recruit more navigable students,
Prof. Gould this week received
the following statement from Hen
ny Howard, director of recruiting
for the U. s. shipping board:
"The seas call to our country's
youth today Is strong and clear.
At no other period in our national
life has need been greater than
now for fearless men to carry our
flag thru stress of war and storm
to foreign ports. The American
merchant mariner of today takes
rank in the war besides his BROTH
ers of the army and navy. In the
mariners hands we trust our
trade and our honor. Neither shall
perish so long as our mariner's
sail the seas.
''The great response of these
mariners, from shore to shore of a
mighty land, makes possible the
new, great things America is do
ing on the sea to end the war.
On a thousand new ships now
taking shape upon our shores
American merchant sailors will go
forth without fear. Sea veterans
will have trained the new corners
to the fleets-and so will be
wrought a strong, close-knit, all
American personnel for our reborn
merchant marine"

There once was time said
Damn the Marines!
They never do nuthin' toward

But .drillin' around in nice khaki
suit
An linin' up straight when we
come to salute,
They're nuthin' but battleship flat
ties" / said,
Just battleship flatties that's
kept here an fed,
But don't lift a hand when we
scrubs or we cleans"
Yes, onct on time l said Damn
the Marines!"
But that was in days when l
thought ] was wise,
Just one of of those cocky an
know-it-all guys,
Before I'd been up against things
as they are,
An, take it from me, / was due
for jar!
I got 1t. A bunch of us jaekies
ashore
Was jumped on by niggers, a
thousand or more,
An there in the jungle We dropped
to our knees
An fought for our lives in the
brush an the trees.
They had us surrounded-a lot of
us drops;
The outlook was bad when them
battleships cops
Comes slidin' up sudden from no
one knows where,
An just takes a hand in our little
affair.
We seen their old khaki, an say,
in that muss,
1t looks like the garments of an
gels to us,
The niggers they left that particu-
lar scene,
An mel was kissin' q U. S.
Marine.
An that's how learned-as I
should have known. then
That U. S. Marines is some Regu-
lar Men,
The first ones ashore, an the last
to come back,
When trouble is started with white
men or black;
Yes, call 'em ships flatties." an
"leathernecks,' too,
But when things is started they
sees 'em clear thru;
They're first-class he-fighters, who
uses their beans,
An'-only fool would say Damn
the Marines!"

Keep Your Eyes On the Stars!

Ii, as you pass along the streets in the resi-
dence districts, you count the blue stars gleam-
ing from the windows, perhaps there will dawn
on you some idea of the wars full meaning to
Tacoma and its homes
Are you manufacturer, a real estate man, an
office clerk, mechanic or common aborer?
In your daily routine do you fume and fuss
over the success Of your business OF the amount
OF your wages?
Has worry or dugery lined your face or dis
gruntled your spirit?
Look at those stars!
Consder-Is the sum total of all the minutes
OF your scur1ying hither and thither your bust
ness deals, your ambitious labOr-is it big
enough to equal one of these five-pointed blue
emblcms!
If you find it is not, there is still hope for you

There Is a Logical
Reason Why Times
Is The NeWSieSt

Battlefront dispatches say the west front lid is
likely to blow off any day now.
Hndenburg is quoted as saying he will spend
MILLION LIVES to smash the allies line-OUR
LINE. Todays news of the repulse of a strong Ger
man attack indicates the drive is soon to be on.
Some of the most sensational news of human his
tory is about to break.
On the shifting chaotic east front anything may
happen any hour.
The Times is prepared, as other paper in South
west Washington is prepared, to gather, transmit,
publish and interpret the news of these portentous
events.
That is not the idle boast of buffing editorial
staff 1t is a DEMONSTRATED NEWSPAPER
FACT.
In PetrOgrad today, for example, there just two
American war correspondents left. One is a New
York World man and the other is own Joseph
Shaplen.
The Times is served, not only by the United Press,
the speedest, most human, most interesting leased
wire Geographic and cable service in the world, but
also
The Times is served by the Newspaper Enterprise
Association, whose long reach into every hamlet
Of North America and into every corner of the
after the features, pictures maps and personal
adventure side of the mighty panorama.
Thus we have our own staff members with Per-
shiny at London in Russia and wherever else the big
events transpirng.
Thus we have Victor Morgan tell Tacomans how
matters fare with Germans behind their iron line;
thus we have George Randolph Chester write for you
the wonderful present-moment story of France as
she ndauntedly awaits Hindenburgs mghtiest,
final plunge toward the goal of world dominion.
No other Tacoma paper can, no other Tacoma pa
per has the resources to attempt, to the
war as we, with world wide organization are
ering it.
That is why, to obtain the fastest, most graphic,
most complete, most understanding account of what
is about to to pass in this amazing world crisis
YOU MUST READ THE TIMES.

LOANS REQUESTED WOULD INCREASE
 WARREN GREATLY
Men Asking for Funds to Build Homes in Residential Suburb Would Use Total of $33O,OOO

The number of applications for loans of miners in the Warren District, who desire to build homes, has far exceed cd the expectations of the companies responsible for the plan. the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps-DOdge corporation and the Calumet & AriZO- ma Mining company. Two hundred and twenty-three applications were made. involving a total expenditure of over S330,O00 Inasmuch as the town of Warren, the residential sec tion of the Warren District. now con tains only about 500 houses. the ad- dition of almost 50 per cent will make a remarkable difference.
 From the number of requests for loans, it Is evident that the offer Of the companies of money at 6 per cent was eagerly grasped. Within a short time Warren will have the record of having more people live in their own homes than in any other community in the west, and every effort is 70 be made 10 make it a garden city.
 The layout of the new tOwnsite pro- vides for lots C5 feet wide. allowing for amp'e room for gardens and shade trees. An effort, is to be made to pro vide cheap mine water for irrigation purposes. Warren will be the scene of intense building activity for some time to come.

TANKS CLEAR WOOD

WITH THE AMERICA NARMY ON THE AISNE FRONT. Sept. '. (By the Associated Press. )-The attempt of the Germans to retain their fOothOld on the south side of the Aisne canal in a wood to the west of Nillers-En- Prayerers was nullified by a small. but brilliant operation early this morning. The dense little wood hav been packed with machine guns, un- der cover of the German guns.
 The only break in the American line along the canal was at that place The task of clearing out began at 4 o'clock a. m. and was completed before 10. There was no opportunity to take prisoners but the toll of German dead was great as compared with the mag nitude of the engagement.
 Along the line to the .,InctiOE with the French, heavy resistance con tinues and indications are increasing that the Germans do not propose to be hurried in their retreat in this dis trict northwest of Rheims. The aTtil- lery on both sides was in violent ac- tion. but with the exception of patroll- ing there was no effort at infantry work.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Smiles were written all over the faces of the vic torious Red Sox when they boarded the train tonight for Boston to en. gage the Cubs in the fourth game of the series Monday
 The small number of persons mak- ing the trip was in direct contrast to the worlds series trips of former years. when special trains carried the rival clubs and hundreds of fans. The war has eliminated the specials this season. Instead. additional cars were attached to a regular Michigan Cen tral train. The Boston plyaers and Harry Frazee. president of the club and his parry occupied two cars, the Chicago club one. the newspaper writers another and members Of the national baseball commission and their friends the fifth car.
 The players. occupied upper and lower berths, and no more space was reserved than was absolutely neces- sary in order to comply with the gov ernment orders restricting travel The train is scheduled to arrive in Boston at 10:50 o'clock tomorrow night
