ALIEN DRAFT D0DGER
may LOSE BIG FARM
TANNER SUES YELM FARMER TO
ESCHEAT 2OO.ACRE DAIRY
RANCH TO STATE.

Jacob Rychen, Swiss dairyman Of
the Yelm neighborhood. who recently
cancelled his declaration of intention
to become an American citizen in or
der to escape military service under
the draft. is made defendant in suit
filed in the local superior court this
week by Attorney General w. v. Tan
ner to escheat Rychen's 200-acre farm
to the state school fund.
When making out his questionnaire
Rychen renounced his first citizen
ship papers and claimed exemption
as an alien. Under the state consti-
tuition aliens cannot own real property
in this state, and it is on this provi-
sion the attorney generals suit is
based.
c. Zurschmeide. who is said to be
Rychen's partner, and wife are made
parties to the suit. on the ground
that they have not in good faith taken
out their first citizenship papers.
Both Rychen and Zurschmeide are
we'll known in the Yelm neighbor-
hood and a rereported to be expert
dairymen.
The suit is similar to a number
brought in various parts Of the state
by the attorney general. but this is
the first to which publicity has been
given. Tanner announces that he
proposes to file similar suits to es-
cheat tt land of every alien who re-
nounces citizenship to evade the
draft, providing he can obtain sufii-
cient evidence against them. He
asks persons who have any informa-
ton of aliens owning property who
have given up their citizenship to
escape the draft. to supply his ONCE
with all the facts they can.
Several suits of this kind have
already been decided in favor of the

C0uNTYS WHEAT CROP
LESS THROUGH DROUGHT
Larger Acreage Planted but Yield Is
Much Lower Than Last Year
Reports Show.

Thurston county farmers threshed
22,295 bushels of wheat from 1871
acres this year, according to reports
received by County Agriculturist c.
H. Bergstrom up to November 1.
While the acreage was much larger
than last year the yield per acre was
considerably less, these reports show,
due to the severe drought during the
early growing season.
The county also produced 42.1OS
bushels of oats, 1,051 bushels of bar
ley and 4,190 bushels of rye. Later
and more complete reports will in
crease all these totals.

Seems Certain British and French

The German drive menacing the cham

great efforts to check tho foe. This
menace is so serious that TO stop the
Germans is the most TO be expected for
some time, and it is certain there will be
no major Allied countcr-uffcusiNc for
the present
American and foreign army men here
today agreed on these points following

tant Mont KENNEL The Allies particu-
larly warned that the outcome Of the
present offensive will not be determnant,
but that the struggle will 90 on for
many. many months until the Allied
strength is grcatcg through rc-cntorcc-
ments.
These re-enrorccmcuts must come
mainly from America, and it is q mill
tary axiom that the last fresh man wins
the battle. Hence, as army men saw IL
today, 1t is up TO America to become
ultimately the decisive factor

men think.
Foch's strategy thoroughly approved
by American OfIicials-is to wear down
the German as much as possible,
Allies Can On Reserves
There can be no mistakinE that the
Allied reserve has been heavily tapped
for forces simply to hold the Germans
thus far. And this tapping quite
evidently has been so serious that fresh
forces must be hurried in before the
Allies can even think Of making a telling
counter-stroke.
American forces are going over there
in constantly increasing numbers. ftal-
ian re-endorcements are being pushed to
the westward, and British reserves are
pouring across the channel.
So when Won Hindenburg has exhaust
ed his main strength and slaughtered
an incomparably large force Of his own
men, Foch will have the fresh men who
win battles. These men viii be, con
ceivably, Americans. mostly. And strong
