Helping to swell the tobacco
fund: to send cigarets to those
boys that were efficient and able
to fight, to MAIN, ruin, and per-
haps kill those the bullets miss.
The average age of beginners
of tobacco used to be 90 years,
but since the advent of the Gig
a<et the average age of beginners
is IL years, which means that
thousands of boys are smoking
as early as seven and eight years
of age.
1t is estimated that 1900 boys
began the cigaret habit each day
last year. The speedy and almost
utter degradation of our youth Is
one of the greatest perils America
is facing today.
Three per cent of the cigare4
smokers are women and girls.
What does this mean for the con-
servatiOn of home, wives and
mothers?

Narcotics, w. G.. #. U.

Tobacco
EDITOR THE TUNES:

/ want to put a few facts be-
fore the people of Tacoma in re-
gard to conservation.
Mothers have given their sons
and are gladly and willingly saw
ing every little pinch Of meat,
sugar and flour in order that they
and our allies may be fed.
Yet while we are conserving al
most to the limit our annual to-
bacco bill is four billion five hun
dred million dollars, or SIS per
capita.
This means that 100000, 900
10-cent loaves of bread are literal
ly burned up in this country in a
year.
While we are hearing the cry
that every available foot of soil
must be used for the raising of
food products a million and a
third acres of ground is being
used to grow tobacco.
They tell us that 100000, 900
bushels of wheat is needed for
our allies, which, according to
the U. s. conservation book, is
100000 bushels more than
we can spare without great sac
rifice.
ShaH we not urge Mr.. Hoover
to raise wheat instead OF tobac-
co?
Another great cry is heard that
there will be be sufficient help
to raise and harvest the crops this
coming season. Yet 215,000
males over the age of 16 years
are employed in the production
and distribution of tobacco.
Have you heard of the great
shortage of tin in which to can
fruit, vegetables and other house,
hold necessities?
The tobacco trust still have
plenty of this metal. Their motto
is "a Tin Can in Every Man S
Pocket"
Our alleys and garbage dump
of the city will convince you OF
the waste in tin.
With the call for food coming
from the suffering ones in Eu-
rope and the shortage of ships In
which to send 1t, it is a sin in
the sight of God to allow one foot
of shipping space to tobacco.
Forty billion cigarets were
manufactured in this country last
year besides the millions that
were rolled by the smokers them
selves.
In January and February of
1917 the sales of cigarets showed
an increase of SO per cent over
the sales of the same months Of
1916.
Experts tell us that It will re-
quire 6,000,00O,000 cigarets for
our army this year.
Hundreds OF boys have been
rejected and refused service In
the army and navy for ailments
due entirely to cigaret smoking.
C-I-G-A-R-E-T spells ineffi-
cheney. Inefficiency helps Kaiser
William to win this war.
What are we doing in Tacoma
for the conservation of manhood?
What have we been doing this
last week?

Soldiers Which Go to Meet Invaders Are Met

Papa Guillemont laughs that piece of colossal
insanity until the tears roll down his purple cheeks.
The stupid sausages! To spend half century in
acquiring the feeling that they know everything in
the universe, and to miss the simplest knowledge Of
ALL the hearts of men

honor, the human soul which, since the beginning Of
creation had gladly chosen death before oppression.
France rose one man to prevent the first stop

prepared she was upset the whole German empire.
True, the first train which sent out to meet
the invaders and in which Papa Guilemont rode.
found the station of it's destination in possession Of
the Germans and before the wheels of the engine had
stopped revolving hail of lead was pouring in at
the windows of all the coaches and practically every
one of that first little army slaughtered before
he had chance to get into the fight.
Papa Guemonts eyes suddenly twinkle again.
He had played 'possum! Wounded in the shoulder,
and spatteded with blood, he piled in heap for
dead and, crawling out from amid his lifeless COM
panions, he slipped away in the darkness thru the
loosely guarded lines and limped his way toward

Papa Joins the Army of Paris and Goes
With It to Meet the Advancing Hun Hosts

In the meantime, the Army of Paris, band of
patriots who must be enrolled in history the pos
SCISSORS of more than sublime heroism, had been rush
ed out of the city by taxi automobile motor truck,
auto bus-every sort of powerdriven vehicle which
could be found, and half armed and totally unprovis
joined, had taken up the march toward the enemy.
The record of that forced march is story of acute
agony. Heavily burdened, the men staggered for
ward under the blazing hot from dawn to dark
and from dark to dawn. Hundreds dropped from ex-
hauston and crept to the roadside to die; hundreds
died they marched; but those who had life in them
staggered and on, choked with dust faint with
hunger, perishing with thirst, but with the cry of
France their dry lips
Papa Guillemont, trudging toward Paris, with his
shoulders throbbing, met this heroic band. They
were headed the other way; they setting out to
light for France Papa Gillemont's mental processes
were very simple; he turned and went with them. He

cera but he's a mighty good man nevertheless, who
demands victory, not peace!
From just across table, he looks hale and ruddy,
with dangling medals and bullying mustache and jolly
little eyes that twinkle 60
1t seems that when the great war broke on the
astolnded world, Papa GuillemOnt was one OF the
first men to jump inside his red pants; gay. The
mobilization would be over in few weeks, and then
the grand review!
1t was not then generally thought that the Ger
mans had planned for 40 years to make this little
dash into France, capture Paris, demosh every
thing which by its beauty and refinement an in
suit to German kuur, exercise the same swift ter
ribleness on covering London, then in more leisure
" fashion, cross to New York and gobble up Ameri-
ca This last would be particularly easy, since Won
Bernstorff had been for years spending millions IN
buying up the llar-chasng American people, so
that at the first Haunting of the German flag they
would turn on their own government and shred it to
tatters.
III In the meantime, Canada india Australia, Egypt,
and all the other colonial possessions Of Great Brit
ain would naturally desert the mother country, and
So being alone and friendless these would fall easy
prey, also, until the German empire, spreading and
Spreading around the world, would meet at the edges
and lap over; and the kaisers birthday would be a
national holiday wherever the sun shone.

voice aroused him. 1t was an officer.
Papa Guillemont raised to his feet and saluted.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-02-25
"Have you finished?" asked the officer.

"Have you finished?" asked the officer
IT have finished" returned Papa Guillemont
huskily, and, saluting again, prepared to slide
down in his corner and die.
"No," said the officer. "But wait here. IF the
Germans come, you may die, fighting. It is for
France'
Eyes, my officer" agreed Papa Guillemont,
and into him came at that moment something
stronger than the strength of life ITSELF the thing
which has made the army of this land the mar
vel of the world. It was the spirit of France!
The light of it is in his face to this day, and long
as there is piece of him it will remain.
He did stay alive, tho his head dropped and his
knees bent stayed alive and in that spot until the
Germans came. He can't tell much of what happened
after they arrived, but when the stretcherbeare
picked up Papa Guillemont from among the dead
Huns which surrounded him. he was plumb full Of
bayonets, tho he had spirit enough to smile ecstati
cally, and voice enough to whisper "VIVE La
The dead Huns were in front of him, in front, minG
you, for he lay nearer Paris than they!
What had happened where Papa Guillemont stood
had happened in so many places that Paris is still

still heads the beautiful Champs Ulysses.

And Thus Goes to Smash the Hohenzollern
World Itinerary for All the Centuries to Come


With panied surprise the Germans, who had not
brought along enough ammunition to kill all the
Frenchmen between the frontier and Paris, found
themselves badly worsted in some of the bloodiest
hand-tohand fighting of the war, found themselves
held in permanent check by the despised Little Army
of France found the itinerary of the Hohenzoem
tour of the world disrupted, and knocked to flinders
for centuries to come!
Papa Guillemont has been reformed three times
since them, overhauled, rebuilt and new parts sup
piled, and he is now a proud permissionaire; but if
Paris is ever again threatened he asks favor to
lead regiment of reformed poilus like himself-and
now the twinkle is once more in his jolly eye.
He'll do the thing scientifically. He'll divide his
regiment according to its incapacties: right-wooden
legged men in platoon, acknowledged men in
another, right-wooden- men in another and
left in another and so on He guard the last bitches
with that regiment, and guard them well; and when
he cries GALLONS! MARCHANT!' and they go
over the top you may be certain that body of sol
ders will dash into battle with enthusiasm fight
with fiercer vim, account for more of the enemy,
with more profound patriotism shout give la
