WITHOUT CEASING
Editor The Times: According
to plans and predictions by "our
friends the enemy" our beauti-
full state Of Washington, has
been doomed to destruction. But
the enemy does not understand,
that throughout the State, we
have a host of Christian people,
who have implicit faith in the
powerful help of Almighty God.
the God of the Universe. who is
saying to His followers now:
BE not afraid. neither be dis
mayed, the battle Ia not yours
but Gods" And this is an SOS
call to every Christian man,
woman and child in our State,
to pray, pray and pray. for Dr.
vine protection. and for wisdom
and understanding TO deal with
this insidious enemy, that is
threatening our State, our Ma
ton and our World.
This plea comes from one of
the least of Washingtons citi-
zens. who believes without a
doubt. that the united. continu-
Gus fervent prayers of Gods peo-
pie, will build a protecting wall
Of defense. that no power on
earth can penetrate or destroy.
Let us begin now. this very
minute, praying without ceasing.

a grip that says: I will not let

will answer him, l will be with
him in trouble. I will deliver
him and honor him"
Gods promises never fail.

THE NAoHEs' PASS
ROAD IN 1855

Editor The Times: The Ryrd's
Mill road was cut through IN
1882. and in 1888 its extension,
the Citizens road, was pushed
on to Naches pass. That same
year the first immigrant train
Of SO wagons and las people
came through. So far as we
know, most OF the road was q
widening of an old Indian trail.
Possibly Chief Leschi was the
original surveyor Of the route,
for his mother was 4 member
OF the Kittitss tribe from be-
yond the mountains.
In 1883 the road played an
important part in the ending
of the Indian war. Binns de-
scribes in his book, The Mighty
Mountain" how the Indians,
under Leschi, lost battle after
battle and at last were bottled
up in the swamps between the
White river and Puysllup. II
was in the dead Of winter. They
were hungry and freezing and
discouraged. but one night Les
chi led his followers through the
enemy line. into the hills. over
the Citizens road and through
Naches pass. then buried under
20 feet Of snow, into the Yski-
ma valley. Years later. when
he came hack to Nisoually, the
white men hung him on q gal
lows beside the Mil road be-
tween Fern Hill and Stella
COON.
II is nearly q hundred years
since that tragedy here on the
banks OF Puget Sound. At that
time the whites drove the red
man from his native land. but
the Nsehes pass road saved him
from humiliation Little brown

NJ the Associated pYess.

~ the Associated Press.
Naval observers here expressed
the opinion today that Admiral
Thomas c. Hart's success In bring
ing the entire Asiatic Fleet, with it,
war and supply ships intact, to COM
paratively secure waters was q su-
perb feat Of seamanship.
The story Of the Asiatic Fleets
removal from the Philippine area to
q position from which 1t would be
able to wage . better tight against
the japanese was revealed yester-
day and may some day rank as one
Of the notable naval episodes Of the
war.
The Nays sole comment has been
the laconic communique, issued i'm
mediately after the fan Of Manila,
that all ships and naval personnel
were removed from the Manila
Cavite area prior to enemey occupa-
tion," along with all records, equip
ment and stores, and that industrial
facilities were destroyed.
Where the fleet Is now located, OF
whether 1t has found a new base
are questions which the Navy does
not answer.
That it probably is in the Neither
lands Indies area was indicated by
the recent arrival Of Admiral Hart,
oficially confirmed, somewhere In
that archipelago. A Navy spokes-
man previously had said it would be
assumed" that the Asiati Fleet was
cooperating with Dutch and British
units in Far Eastern waters.

~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Prsss.
Senator George, Democrat, oa
Georgia said today he had passed
on to the Treasury, without recon-
mendations, . proposal for . new
type Of manufacturers tax which
might raise a considerable portion
Of the 5000 900 900 in new levies
requested by President Roosevelt.
Senator George, who is chairman
Of the Senate Finance Committee
said the proposal called for Q low
percentage tax on manufactured
articles after deductions had been
made for the cost OF production
The primary profits on these arti.
cles thus would become subject tc
tax, II the proposal were adopted.
Senator George said that Of the
many revenue-raising proposals
which had been submitted to him
this was one of few he considered
worth further study. He said the
plan might have the value o1
reaching some firms which now take
such large allowances for depletion
payment of interest and other fac
tors that they are subjected to very
little tax"
Senator George said he had re-
ceived no indications when the
Treasury would be ready to present
further tax suggestions to congress
nor whether such suggestions woulc
take the form Of q concrete program
or would merely involve the compu-
tation of how much certain forms
Of taxation would raise.
There were reports, however, that
the Treasury might not be ready
with its suggestions for another week

Each Woman Can Find
Role in Civil Defense,
Says Mrs. Roosevelt
Volunteer Participation
Gives People Strength.
Club Group Is Told

Volunteer civilian defense work
is open to every woman in almost
any field, Mrs. Roosevelt yesterday
told the members Of the Womens
Congressional Club.
Mrs Roosevelt's appearance to talk
on Defense" replaced this year the
clubs annual party for her.
The Presidents wife. after outlin-
ing the civilian defense program.
told the members Of the club that
the various forms Of volunteer work
we're of particular interest to women.
Women, she said, are especially con-
cerned with their children and 1t is
the children who will inherit the
result of whatever is done now.
Civilian defense work. she pointed
out, can build toward that time
when, after the war, we must win
the peace, when our young people
must have something better than
Naziism or Fascism to take their
place.
Right now, Mrs. Roosevelt said,
one of the things that gives people
strength is . sense of participation
In defense. Therefore, everybody
in q community must be included
in the plans.
She urged her listeners not to
forget, however. that work not I'm
mediatelly involved in defense is not
necessarily unimportant because Of
war.
If one is needed at home. Mrs.
Roosevelt said, that Is the first need.
And II one has a job. 1t should be
done better now than ever before.
After these things. she pointed out,
II time can be budgeted. one should
engage in some volunteer defense
activity.
