lated him upon the card-index to
her active mentality.

Nope" returned the recent toast
of' Paris, Idaho, monosyllabically
direct.
For one mad magenta moment,
to Dottye's gaze, the unnumbered
lights along the lonely lane grew
dim, gyrating unpleasantly. She
had honestly meant to earn fame,
self-respect and every woman's
right to love by a mingIing of hon.
est labor and equally honest graft
as worked along upper Broadway.
These things might be hers, but the
game was difficult at best. The
odds were long.
"WanIa go along with me?"
Where to-" asked Miss Winton,
with a magnificent disregard for
rhetorical rules of which she had
never heard.
"Oh, TOTO dinner" returned the
stranger lightly.
Dottye quickly entered her recent
resolutions against an empty future,
pocketbook and stomach. The lat

Not knowing the brand of this

"Maltbie," he vouchsafed affably.
He saw that the game was his.

gazing fondly down upon her.
The young and unsophisticated
Under-Secretary to the High Gods
once again opened his loose-leaf
ledger of Life and Death to the dra-
matte section. His brow remained
troubled. He bit the end of his
newly filed stylographic pen and
gazed with undue professionalism
at Dottye's as yet quite simple and
fairly creditable account, then away
between the swaying planets to
where she stood beside the man, on
Forty-second street. Being young
and inexperienced, he told himself
there was still a chance for her.
He watched, waiting pen in hand,
as the time machine toiled on in an
eternity where the centuries were
but seconds, where an hour marked
the rise and fall of man.

since he had reached the years Of
indiscretion. His clothes and man

latest make Of fountain pen. His
entire personality reeked of dia-
monds, dinners and dissipation.
Plump as the purse Of a plumber,
he was as we'll groOmed as the head
barber in 25-cent tOnsorill

grey eyes looked upon life with the
diagnostic detachment, the cynical
amusement of the Goddess of Lib

about the same ground. He was a

Increasing the draft age from 81
to 40 or IS years is one OF the
probabilities of the future" &C
cording to Provost Marshal Gener-
al Crowder In his comprehensive
report to the secretary Of war.
The draft of the older men
should be mainly for skilled war
labor, but also to distribute the
burdens of the war.
There are plenty of young men
for the first line fighting, Crowder
has shown, but he also points out
there Is danger of 'injuring the
coming generation" by taking
away too many OF the "aggres-
sively patriotic young men"
Million and Third Available
Out of the 10,6S3,249 men be-
tween the ages OF 81 and As,
Crowder estimates 3,525,472 are
unmarried and that 80 per cent of
Che latter figure or 1885,
S88 would be accepted for service
nnder the present regulations.
Advocating this, Crowder said:

deemed to make the soundest and
most pliable military material.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-01-04

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. A.
Members of the House mission
believe the U. s. and the allies,
in 1918, can lay a firm foundation
for victory. But they hold out
no hope-so far as the military
situation now appears-that the
war will actually end in less than
two years.
Political or psychological ele-
ments may bring quicker col
lapse, they say, but experts de-
clare the nations at war must pro-
coed with two or three-year fight
in mind and lay their plans for
even longer struggle to be on
the safe side.
While some of the missions i'm
pressions were gathered under
pessimistic circumstances, the
general tone OF their deductions
as to the future Is hopeful.
Much thought is being given
to ways and means for increas-
ing Americas fighting conting-
ents. All this depends on ships.
One of the first plans consid-
cred was to stow some troops on
every ship-tramp, tanker or
whatnot, crossing the war zone.
While the addition would not be
enormous-perhaps 1000 month
it would help some, authorities
say. The war department, how
ever, rejected this plan.

TWO YEARS MORE OF 1T,
PREDICTS HOUSE MISSION

Now there is talk of getting ad-
ditional allied shipping thru pool
ing arrangements, tho it is doubt
full that such help can come from
this source until U-boat losses de-
crease and ship production in
creases.
Secretary Baker said today
training of troops is proceeding as
speedily as possible. And, he
pointed out, this speeding up proc
ess has been strengthened by APP
pointment of General Morrison as
military training director and by
giving all division commanders an
opportunity to see foreign train
ing and fighting for themselves.
Meantime Senator Chamber
lain proposes passage of bill
creating the secretaryship of mu-
nitions. The administration sees
no need for such post.
The congressional probe, plus
the house mission enda-
tons, have gone far toward put
ting a punch and purpose into
war work. Less Tagging is in
prospect. authorities agree.
This Is we'll, they add, for 1913
is destined to see some Of the
bloodiest fighting Of the whole
struggle.
President Wilson. as we'll as
military men, say the vital decfs-
ions appear likely to come in that
period, altho probable the knock
out cannot be delivered until later
