WAS AT KENNEL HILL

The officials OF the Lee county fair
have secured as speaker for Loyalty

ger, nicknamed Lucky Kid" because
he lodged death so many times on the
battlefields of France and Belgium
He is one of six sons, all of whom en-
listed at the commencement OF the
war Richard got into the scrap as
member Of the Canadian expedition
airy army. He was at KENNEL hill,
Zonnebeeke, Chapelle, Ypres, Neauve,
Festenbert, Gimechy and the major
battles on the Flanders front. Sergeant
Bulger fought through these bitterly
contested engagements with only
minor flesh wounds, but in the charge
following the blowing up of the Mes
sines Ridge, he went down with a ma
chine gun bullet through his left shout
der and another through his right
arm. While being carried to dress
ing camp both stretcher bearers were
instantly killed and he received ad-
didonal wounds that confined him to
a hospital for more than year. His
long and varied experience on the
western front gave him an intimate
knowledge Of army life as 1t really
exists. He knows the camp; the hos
pital, the march, the trench, the
charge and the retreat. Indeed he
tells us, with true Irish wit that his
only reason for not knowing the hos
pitality of the German prison camps
was his ability on one occasion to
retreat at top sreed. While every inch
soldier, he has personality so cor
dial that he is the center of admiring
groups wherever he appears. AS a
speaker he is considered one of the
best and he describes the ever shift
ing phases Of army life in the war
zones of Belgium and France with a
vividness and patriotic fervor Bhnt
enlists all who hear him in the sup
port of the boys at the front.

DABROE
HOME IS
RAIDED!

Following raid by the police
dry squad on the Queen hotel,
18th and Pacific av., Wednesday
night, a second raid was conduct
ed on the home of Peter M. Ba-
broe, superintendent of city water
mains, 917 No. X ST., and Dabroe
was taken to Jail on bootleg
ging charge.
His son, A. M. Dabroe. former
city lineman but now proprietor
of the Queen hotel, had been ar
rested earlier in the evening on a
bootlegging charge.
A trunk containing 81 quarters
OF bonded whisky was found in
the garage of Dabroe's home by
the dry squad.
Tries to Raise Bail
Young Dabroe was kept in an
Isolated cell Wednesday night and
Thursday.
His father because of his posi-
ton with the city, was allowed
the freedom Of police headquar-
ters.
He did not go to bed, but re-
NAMED in the front offices of the
station all night and all Thurs
day morning, while friends and
attorneys tried to raise 5000 bail
money for his release.
Police Capt. Falconer, under
whom the dry squad operates,
would not divulge the nature of
all evidence against the city Of
fetal Thursday.
He said police officers had suf-
ficient reason to believe the elder
Dabroe was directly connected
with a bootlegging business.
May Lose Position.
Commissioner of Light and
Water Gronen announced that he
would promptly discharge Dabroe
If the charges of the police were
substantiated.
Gronen made no effort to OBJ
tain DaAroe's release.
The police charge young Da-
broe has been conducting the
Queen hotel for five months, and
frequent reports have been re-
ceived that booze was being sold
from the establishment.
Dabroe's father denied all
knowledge of the liquor in his
garage, saying that the trunk had
been left there by his son six
months ago when he returned
from Montana.
Bottled Last Fall.
Dry squad officers said u. s.
bond labels on the whisky showed
it had been bottled in the fall of
1917.
Debroe has been connected with
the city water department almost
continuously for 20 years. He
has a personal knowledge of every
detail of the water main system,
and according to Commissioner
Gronen, has been a valuable man
to the department.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-01-10

The accomplishments, he said,
are such as to depress German
morale, "when the Germans rea-
lie that the American democracy
has neither blundered nor hesi-
tated. but has actually brought
the fullpower of its men and re-
sources into completely organized
strength against their military
machine.
Health in camps Is rapidly
improving; the clothing short
age is practically past; the
death rate Is lower than In
civil life; further increments
of the army ''can be AIDE
quateIy equipped and trained
as rapidly as those already I'm
training can be transported"
he declared.
All this, he added, had been
accomplished without serious
industrial dislocation; the
spirit of the army is high; II
is we'll fed; all kinds Of guns
are available ''fOr every SOL
der who can be gotten to
France in the year 1915"
and great programs OF new
instruments of war have been
formulated"
Mr.. Baker did not answer criti-
cisms in detail in his preliminary
abatement. AS for the ordnance
department he pointed to lack OF
experts available and to the tre-
mendous expansion required at
the start of the war.
The war council, he announced,
will add army officers and men
from civil life from time to time.
Baker asked the cooperation
and advice Of the military prob
ers, but without apology for short
comings. He said, in conclusion:
1--WE can now see the entire SIT
uation. The international rush
needs are substantially supplied.
The technical corps have been ex-
banded and reorganized on indus
trial and efficient lines. The CO.
ordination Of all international
needs with our purchases has been
effected. An agency exists to pre-
vent conflicts and to adjust those
which cannot be prevented.
Surpasses Expectations.

terests and all people in the coun-
try, the nation is now organized
and set to its task with unanimity
