house since | have been here.
Very seldom see private automo-
bile.
The farmers haul their stuff
around with dogs, mich cows,
burros and horses. They use two
wheeled carts instead of wagons.
The wheels are six or seven feet
in diameter. II they have two
horses hitched up, one is in front
of the other and they lead the
first one. If the horse trots they
think it is running away.
There are very few young peo-
pie here. Most of the women are
wearing black. Most of the peo-
pie wear wooden shoes or leath-
eruppers and wooden soles. They
are learning to stick the soldiers
for everything we buy.
I'VE hear very little about the
war, but the French soldiers seem
very confident that the war will
be over in the coming spring
drive. I cannot tell you anything
about what we are doing, but
don't think we will be near the
front for quite a WHILE"

Il had great time in London,
but l never was SO disguised in
my life as | was when | got off
the train at Seaford, walked up
thru the mud and sorted out my
blankets and kit bags and equip
ment. All of our stuff was piled
up in one room, and the first guy
back scattered it all over. was
about an hour finding my junk.
The only thing to do now is to
wait for our final leave. They
give give us seven days before We
go to France.
They opened parliament the
last day we were there and we
saw King George and the queen.
They sure had some escort. We
went to the British museum to
take a look at it, but cop told
us it had been closed for years
now. We saw the Tower bridge
and London bridge. We crossed
the first when we went to London
Tower and the last when we came
back.
The girls in London make me
laugh. There are about four OF
five women to each man. One
girl walked up to ME, slapped me
on the back and said, Hello
Canada. Want a smoke? She
pulled out box of eigarets and
handed them to me. She was
smoking, too. That's the way
they do just to get acquainted. In.
stead of the boys hunting for 6
girl, the girls are looking for &
guy to take them out. Go into {
saloon or a pub and there are
more girls there than men ant
the bartenders are girls. In these
penny dumps and shooting gal
leries there are more women ant
girls than men. Old women 81
or 60 years old can be seen IL

amusement outfits.

way, but when saw that anybody
who failed to register in the
draft on the day set would be sent
to jail, | just got stubborn. l
was always stubborn, anyway.
When anybody told me not to
smoke, l always SMOKED"
This was part Of the story told
to Federal Judge Cushman Mon
day by Seaton Cotterell Amy, 25-
year-old Tacoma boy, when he
pleaded guilty to the charge of
failing to register in the draft.
He asked to be sent to Jail for
year, but the Judge gave him
only six months.
Others who pleaded guilty as
slackers were Joseph Carrigan
and Uleric Crawford. Carrigan
was given 80 days and Crawford
80.
Morris Solder was given six
months for transporting booze

WORTH THE
SACRIFICE.
SAYS GOV.

II predict that Washington
will have subscribed its quota in
Liberty bonds by Saturday night,
but let us give more than the
government asks" said Gov. Lis
ter, speaking at the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday night in the
interest of the third Liberty loan.
THE Stars and Stripes are
worth the price of sacrifice and we
are willing to pay that price. We
OF this country do not know what
sacrifice means. Unless We give
without stint of our material
means 1t may be that we, too, may
come to the fate of French and
Belgium.
Il used to believe that possibly
one or two large battles might
}. bring a quick peace. I've changed
my mind. | believe that to win
this war fully so per cent of our
enemy soldiers must be killed.
There is but one answer for
this country to her allies. We are
in this war until victory is ours,
whether that victory comes in six
months, a year or 10 years"

No Hot Dogs

Keith Seldom, Tacoma boy,
now in England awaiting trans
fer to the French trenches, thinks
that England is pretty GOOD
place, but there are few things
about it that make him laugh.
One of them is that no one there
seem to know what hot dog Is.
What could really be more dis
astrous to a real, live American
than to be aching hungry for a
hot dog, and then have no one
understand what he was talking
about?
But in spite of the little dis
comforts, Seldom has seen some
interesting things while in Eng
land, among them the opening OF
the British parliament, when he
saw the king and queen OF the
United Kingdom. Part of let
ter received here by his mother
and tells of the experiences:
Il was hungry one day, and
| said that | would like a hot-dog
| said this to a fellow who lived
in Vancouver before he joined
the army, and he didn't know
what a hot-dog was. Ii you TOLD
anybody here that you were MAD
they would think that you meant
you were insane. It's lots differ,
ent here since the war started
and the Canadians have mixee
with the other people.

Leave It
to the Marines

Remember the old saying,
Leave it to the Marines? Well,
it seems that this still holds good
and the marines are holding the
front rank as soldiers and making
the people of France sit up and
take notice. The last record they
have broken is the time for adjust
ing gas masks, and they have shat
tered this beyond repair. Oh! yes,
just leave 1t to the marines.
The official time limit for adj
justing gas masks is six seconds.
French and British instructors
say the marines are showing won-
derful speed in the handling of
the gas masks.
The gas masks has a series of
complicated straps that makes 1t
no small trick to adjust the head
gear within six seconds time, but
entire companies of marines have
already beaten that mark.

including loans to the allies, most
members of congress are inclined to
raise about twenty-five per cent, or
around $4,000, 100000 by taxes and
the remainder from bond issues.
Some however, favor increasing the
ratio to one-third taxes and two
thirds bonds.
Sen. Simmons explained tonight
that decision regarding immediate
legislation largely depends on Sec'y
McAdoO's showing of actual treasury
receipts in sight between now and
February. when il is assumed a new
bill begun next December would be
available. The treasury department
recently was authorized 10 issue S4,-

Congress, the senator said, will
not risk any treasury deficit and
Will make sure that ample funds are
available while il is in recess.
