ton to maintain the traditions

Like many other good things
that came to Tacoma in the
early days. the chief contribu-
tors were the eastern men who
were building the Northern Pa
cific railroad. They had a line
down the Columbia river to
Portland and reached Tacoma,
the Puget Sound terminus. by
a line running in a northerly
direction but doing a good deal
of winding in and about among

IN the case of the original st.
Luke's church, the chief bene-
factor was c. B. Wright, prin-
cipal stakeholder and head Of
the railroad corporation. There
were several new churches in
Tacoma and when he heard
about the Episcopalians wanting
to build a church in New Ia
coma he asked his personal
representative, Theodore Hos
mer, if he thought the church
was necessary and would be
adequately supported if a suit
able building were erected.
Hosmer replied that the Epis-
copalians were without a church
here and were meeting on the
second floor of a store building
on Pacific avenue. He said they
seemed to be very much in ear
nest and the congregation rep
resented some of the business
leaders who had come out here
to grow up with the Northern
Pacific terminus.
That was all c. B. Wright
needed. He built the church as
memorial to his daughter and

II the German armies can hurl
back Englands Anzacs and reg
ulars and transform Sslonika
into another Dunkerque. the for
tunes of the Allied powers-and
that means the u. S. will
slump. 1t will be the second
time within a year that the Ger
mans will have thrown British
forces off the continent of Eu-
rope, which der fuehrer claims
to control. The moral effect of
such a smashing blow by Hitler
on Russia and Turkey, Wey-
gand in Africa. and also on the
u. S.-would be incalculable.
The big point, in the minds of
our military and diplomatic
sharps. is that we now are wit
Messing the key campaign of the
war. They may be wrong. but
their judgment has been uncan-
nily. correct in the past Here
is their inside theory about the
present clash between the axis
and allied forces in the Balkans
which they face but do not pub
licize:
II Germany wins an all = out
Victory in Greece-if she forces
the British to resort to another
miracle" to evacuate the REM
nants of shattered army TO
Egypt or Africs-the Germans
will virtually have won the war.
Hitler then can sit back as the
conqueror of the continent. and
defy his enemies TO come and
get him" That would be diff
cult, even with the active aid of
the u. s. Der fuehrer would not
have to vanquish the island of
Britain. General Hunger can be
left to finish the rout.
A serious reverse for the Nazis
in the Balkans might be the be-
ginning of their end. Two things
can destroy them. The first is a
terrific shortage Of food. and
there is no sign of that now.
The second is a real military
setback in major campaign.
That is why Washington and
London are gluing their diplo-
matte eyes on this phase of the
war.

LIQUOR
BONDAGE"

Editor, The Tacoma Times: At
Eastertide attention is drawn to
the latter days of Jesus. who
suffered the cruelty of the cross,
laid down his life. and rose tri-
umphant over death to save his
people from their sins.
Perhaps no finer example of
his deity can be found than his
attitude toward little children.
He loved them. took them in his
arms and blessed them. and set
them in the midst of the crowd
exalting them.
Today. with a little more than
half of our grownups visiting
the saloons. tap rooms, clubs.
caoarets, state liquor stores and
other places of public debauch-
cry, may every citizen of our
country feel a deep response
bility toward the childhood of
today May they be guided by
the sober minded reasoning that
Christ's love for children does
not grow dim as the years ad-
vance.
May they resolve deep down
in their hearts that the care
free. pleasure seeking children
Of today never be permitted to
live amid surroundings such as
endanger the lives and souls of
their less fortunate elders.
May they be determined to
free our people from the bond
age of beer and liquors which
Is sending so many souls to the
ignominy Of drunksrds grave.
and the unremitting and unend-
ing punishment of a drunkard's
hell.
