Decks German Carp With Flag.

Sioux City, Ia.-When the patriotism
of Chris Roumeliote, a Greek restau-
rateur here, was questioned because
of his window display of German carp.
Chris, who is a veteran of Balkan
wars, wrapped small American flag
around each fish. The apparent adver-
tising value of his window display was
immediately doubled.

AMERICANS May BE
DECIDING FACTOR

France and the fast-arriving
American achievements, there
would be nothing to prevent Hin
denburg from throwing at least
a quarter of a million more men
into the western combat at this
critical moment.
Americas part in the war on a
major scale, therefore, has al
ready begun to be played, tho in
silence and without any large
activity.
Hindenburg cannot push much
farther forward to decision
against France and England with
out risking the capture of the
Rhine this summer by the Ameri-
can armies. That is the princi-
pal reason why heavy German re-
inforeemen are no longer being
hurled against the British and
French fronts.
The initiative in the combat is
now passing to Gen. Haig. His re-
port today of captures of Ger
man prisoners and guns Ii the
most satisfactory news that has
come from the allies since the
battle began one week ago.
1t may be too early yet to look
for an allied counter-attack in
France, but the way is being pre-
pared for it by the new local Of
fensives which the British are de-
IelOning.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-By
restraining further movement OF
Germany's first reserve troops
across France, Americas in
creasing military strength along
the Alsace-Lorraine border is ex-
erting what may prove to be a
decisive influence upon the prog
ress of Hindenburg's attack
against the Anglo-French lines.
The key to the situation now
confronting Hindenburg, Haig
and Petain is the question of re-
serves. Both sides must depend
for a renewal of activity upon
fresh achievements.
II Hindenburg were able 20
bring up still more shock troops
and to slaughter them in large
numbers as a further sacrifice to
the Hohenzollerns, the situation
along the west front would
cause much anxiety. There are
German reserves ready for such a
purpose, concentrated at Metz and
southern Alsace.
1t would be fatal, however, for
Hindenburg to draw on them. If
they were to vanish, the road to
the Rhine would be made into
an easy passage for General
Pershing. Were it not for the
American armies now in eastern

TO
BUILD IT

A labor temple for Tacoma five
stories high, with dozens of Of
fices for union headquarters, 20
or more rooms in which labor
meetings can be held, and at least
one great auditorium for general
meetings, is expected to material
!ze within a few months.
Delegates to the Central Labor
Council Wednesday night voted
unanimously in favor of acquir-
ing a labor temple. The ques-
ton was passed back to all unions
for referendum vote. 1t is pro-
posed that every one of the 5000
members of organized labor in Ia
coma will contribute one days
wages towards the cost.
A downtown building is said to
have already been selected as suit
able. Tacoma unions declare that
If it is purchased and remodelled
to suit the union needs, it will be
the largest and finest labor tenn
pie on the coast.
At present the headquarters Of
organized labor are scattered all
over the city. Twenty local
unions meet every night in the
week. They are paying an aver
age Of $500 month rent for Of
flee space and rooms for meetings.
II the referendum carries, 70
ganized labor will be occupying It's
own temple within three months,
according to plans.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
2S.-Maximum prices on coal ut
the mines In Washington. Okla
homa and Arkansas we're fixed
by the fuel administration today.
Prices are made effective at 7
a. m, March 20.
Operators who have compiled
with the Washington wage agree
ment are allowed to ask As cents
ton additional to cover wage in
creases.
Prices for Washington follow:
Screened coal, bituminous, Kit
titas country, run of mine, 1856;
prepared sizes lump and egg,
$685.; special storm and gas,
$3.25; slack, $3.50; sub-bitumin-
GUS, Lewis and Thurston coun-
ties run of mine $2.75; prepared
sizes. $685.; lump, nut 1925:

slack, $3.50.
Sub-bituminous, King county.
prepared sizes. lump, Sc; pea,

slack, $1.25.
The fuel Administrations order
today means an increas in price OF
various grades of prepared coal In
Pierce and other counties, accord
ing to f. c. Brewer, administrator
here.
Heretofore the administration
has had one price-S4.S5-for all
prepared coal at the mines. The
new order segregates prepared
sizes, advancing the price of such
grades as lump nut and mixed
steam.
The administrations action is
believed to have followed the
findings of a commission which
made investigations in Tacoma
last November. David Whitcomb,
state fuel administrator, Is now in
the east, and his recommendation
may have had much to do with
the price fixing.
