Two U.0F W.MEN
and TELEGRAPH
/ Man IN THE LISTS

At least three Seattle men, two of whom
| are University of Washington men, were on
board the torpedoed Tuscania, according to
the listing of official reports.
The two university men are: Corporal
Ralph Dreitzler, of Co. F, Sixth battalion,
10th engineers, and A. Bracket, member of
another company in the foresters' detach-
|ment.
Arthur w. Root, former bookkeeper for
w Western Union, was also member of
lode Of the units on board.
Anxious relatives of the men are attempt
ing to ascertain their fate.
- CORPORAL Dreitzler, whose mother lives
e 1917 Taft st., enlisted here last December
with Bracket. Both men are members OF
the university engineering fraternity, and
were in the forestry school.

Companies D, E and F, of the 10th engineers,
a. on board the Tuscania. This, it is be-
lieved, would include the three Seattle men,
unless by some chance they were ordered to
other duty before the vessel left America.
Mrs. William Dreitzler, mother of Cor
poral Dreitzler, heard from her son a short
time ago and he remarked that he expected
to leave for lover there" soon, and was
eager to get across.
Dreitzler was a junior at the university.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. AT least two
Bldiers from Tacoma were aboard the
troopship Tuscania when she was sunk off
the Irish coast, it was believed today. There
is also possibility that many other men
from Camp Lewis were passengers on the
Inflated transport.
n. C.. Root. son of Rev. L. T. Root of
Tacoma, is a member of one of the units
reported aboard the Tuscania. Root is a
member of the Tooth aero squadron. Ed
ward B. Gibson, former Tacoman, is also
believed to have been on the troopship.
George S. Long, Jr., son of George S.
Long of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., was
1t first thought to be aboard the vessel. A
telegram from Long to his father today,
however. stated his company did not sail

At Camp Lewis it was said today that a
number of men from the 166th depot
brigade had been sent to fill out the 10th

bought has earned nothing to re-
pay the debt. That is consump-

discourage. On the other hand,
here's a business man who bor-
rows to buy better equipment or
enlarge his plant, or farmer who
buys an extra horse or a piece Of
labor-saving machinery or inn
proved seed or more livestock
and when he comes to settling
time, the thing he bought has
been producing something to pay
the debt. 1t has more than earned
something for paying off tho
principal. That is productive
credit--a sort we ought to- en-

chants and bankers have learned
to discourage consumptive credit
and encourage productive credit.
The South must learn to do tho
same thing"
Now the same principle here IL

of taxation. What we must do
is to reduce the consnmptive
rather than productive taxation.

WHERE TAXES SHOULD BE
DECREASED-AND WHERE
INCREASED.

One hears everywhere the argu-
ment that taxes are already too
high and ought to be reduced.
There is no doubt about it, that
taxes for certain purposes ought
to be reduced, but in attempting
the reduction Of taxes. let us be
sure that we make our cuts in
such a way that the people will
be better off and not worse off
for our economies" In affairs
of government as well as IN
private affairs we need to remem-
Der: "There is that scattereth
yet increaseth and there is that
withhOldeth more than is meet,
but it tendeth to poverty"
Let us illustrate. A very
thoughtful student of National af-
fairs said to us this week: "Tha
curse Of our country is consump-
tive credit. l buy on credit u

or piano or pleasure car, and

fatalistic in it's character. 1t is
found reduced to single sentence
current in the language: "Don t
worry about what you can help. :"
If we could only compose our
minds always to the ideas en-
bodied in the quotation above,
which has been called the "Litany
Of the Trenches" we would save
ourselves from much needless
anxiety.
There is an old saying: cit is
worry. not work. that kills. And
worry has it's foundation and
cause in the mind. 1t is the APP
prehension of the blow that hurts
far more than the blow itself.

SOME WAR BORN PHILOSO-
PLY.

In the fierce heat Of war, the
French soldiers have developed d
wartime philosophy. Here it is
reduced to epigrammatic form:
"You have two alternatives.
Either you are modified or you
are not. If not, you have nothing
to worry about.
eff you are, you have two al
ternatives: Either you are in camp
or at the front. If you are in
camp you have nothing to worry
about.
eff you are at the front you
have two alternatives Either You
are in reserve or you are on the
fighting line. If you are in re-
serve. you have nothing to worry
about.
eff you are on the fighting
line, you have two alternatives :
Either you scrap or you don't If
you don't you have nothing to
worry about.
eff you do, you have two al
ternatives: Either you get hurt
or you don't. If you don't, you
have nothing to worry about.
If you do you have two alter
natives: Either you get slightly
hurt or you get badly hurt. If
slightly, you have nothing to
worry about.
IF badly. you have two al
ternatives: Either you recover or
you don't. If You recover, you
have nothing to worry about. II
you don't and have followed my
advice clear through, you have
done with worry forever.

1t makes no difference who the

if bending over a washboard were

against her right to be happy
would be enough to condemn it.
Hand-washing can never be any

can never be happy. Necessary

the drudgery Of the dashboard is
unnecessary. No man worth his

WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT Of GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotte
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back Of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, 1t would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-even As beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation Uts traditions Of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact of defeat could
inhict.
1t would mean that the man who has
risked all In his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph. Thus. the moral tone Of the In
dividual, as well ~ Of tho nation,
would inevitably b lowered.
This country has never embarked In
q war Of conquest. From ITS to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed
for some sterling principle Of right.
From childhood We have been taught
to believe that the high unselflshness
Of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
Of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany IL
now battling. Should we fail in this,
our nightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is q
justified.
