DARE TO
ADVANCE

Shall we have ADEQUATE STREETCAR
SERVICE? That, boiled down to essentials, is
the proposition the people will decide April 2.
If you want such service vote Eyes, on the
question of acquiring the street railway system
for the city. If you are satisfied to drift along
with the present haphazard makeshift trans
portation turn it down.
1t is perfectly plain issue, whether Tacoma
has the nerve, the good Judgment, the business
sense to put thru this big constructive program,
Just as year ago Pierce county put thru the
big, constructive army post program, or
whether she is going to return to the timorous,
moss back attitude of an unamented past
Everybody knows that in recent years we
have had bad service and that it is getting
worse. Cars run infrequenty. There are not
nearly enough of them. The employees only a
few months ago had to conduct two weeks
strike to obtain decent working hours and Il
halfway decent wage. The company refuses to
build much needed extensions. 1t simply won't
progress. And there is no hope for improve
ment under the existing regime. Instead the
corporation is going to the supreme court and
the state public service commission with re-
quest that it be RELIEVED OF ALL IT'S
FRANCHISE OBLIGATIONS AND BE AL
LOWED TO CHARGE A SIX-CENT FARE.
1t probably will win these concessions.
s-s If we ever hope to obtain smooth, efficient,
we cannot become an important industrial city,
we must own and run the cars as municipal
utility. We must have them operated under
the direction Of competent, highly trained
technical man RESPONSIBLE TO US.
A few citizens constitutionally opposed to
public ownership have remarked to us that they
were afraid to hand over such an important job
to any individual Yet they apparently are
perfectly content to have this identical job
handed over to Messrs. Stone & Webster, who
are in Boston, 5000 miles away, and over whom
we have no control!
The weakest, most foolish type of fear-self
fear!
The thing for us to do is to decide that we are
a community with enterprise, with determine
ton, with ability to run our own business and
then run it.
Let the old weak spirited, disunited, timorous
Tacoma be forgotten thing of the past. Let
the Tacoma that dares, the Tacoma that does
continue it's advance Vote for good transporta-
ton. Vote for industrial strength. Vote for
city Car system.

TIME FOR ACTION.

It isn't up to us to tell the Department of Justice that which is or should be proper to do with spies and we are not; but we wish to eX- press our opinion that if speedy if not summary action were taken against sueh peoples as that man Ritter at Camp Lewis, that woman Guisorlf recently arrested in California; that man Schul- eaberg held at San Francisco and that man who tried to wreck the steamer Spokane it would possibly help some. A spy is no earthly good except to cause trouble If every one caught vas to be sunlmarily and publicly executed, so that other persons inclined to engage in like ac tivtities could plainly see that we have no patti ence for spies. many American lives could be saved. Why should We hesitate to take the life of a spy? He does not stop at taking life, or hundreds if by doing 90 he gains his point. Sometimes it really appears as though our gov ernment was too long on patence-especially when it effects others whose sole ambition is to cause trouble

MOBILIZATION OF
 GERMAN FLEET

So completely has public attention been drawn to the terrific fighting on the western front that the public has lost sight of the contending navies.upon which the success or failure of the whole war depends. If the German high seas fleet were to steam forth and crush the allied fleets, or even the British fleet alone, she could deal in a single day that fatal blow against the British empire which she has failed to get home with her army in the four years of war. The battleship fleet at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, the second in power in the world, remains year after year hopelessly shut up at its bases. No greater demonstration of the value of the command of the sea has ever been witnessed than this.-Scientific American.

 Referring to the British troops, Mar shal Foch turned again to the map, pointed out the recent gains of Field Marshal Haig's men and said:

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 23.-Skilled workers in the ship building industry of the country have presented friendly demands" to the labor adjustment board of the shipping board for in crease in wages to $1 an hour, double time for all overtime.

 Nothing But Realities Count

Asked concerning prospects for the future. the marshal said:
 Realities are far better than any sort of promise. It is useless to make promises that may give rise to exag gerated hopes. Nothing but realities count"
 Reminded of a previous occasion when he said that the German wave had been broken, Marshal Foch re- piled: Well, now it is retiring; see for yourselves" Walking to a map on the wall he pointed out the progress made by the allies since the offensive began in July. One correspondent hay ing referred to the French soldiers, the marshal said: You may say anything you like about them. Whatever you say will never be too much. They are going on without respite, without re- lief and without rest. We can ask any thing of them; they are always ready to go on.'

 The German officer told the freight es captain he allowed him to go be- cause he was engaged in carrying foodstuffs for his own country. The captain was warned he was likely to be sunk if he continued in the Amer ican trade.
 You would not sink us without warning, would you?" one of the of ficers of the Swedish ship asked. Don't be tso sure about that-best not to take any chances" was the reply.
