startling fact.
While the cost Of living has
been climbing up, the cost Of
electric service has been drop
ping down! That's true no mat
ter what year you set as "sea
level"-5 S, 10 or Is years ago.
Actually, in the last Is years,
the cost of electricity has come
down so far that the average
American family gets about
twice as much for its money
today as it did then. Perhaps
you haven't noticed the reduc-
ton in your own bills because
you've been adding appliances

and using more electricity. But
the saving is there.
In the light Of other wartime
costs and taxes, electricity has
become just about the biggest
bargain in your budget! The
reasons are as many as the men
and women who work for your
local electric company-under
careful business management
keeping service good, price low.

this picture will be available to
organizations DESTROYS of showing
it, contact can be arranged
through Col. r. l.. Lamb, Army

Plans are now underway to
secure the film for the consump-
ton of Seattle citizens, and the
place and date of the showing
will be announced via this paper
next week.
Over and above all that, 1t is
imperative that you see this pic
ture whenever it is convenient.
Inform your white friends of It,
for a certainty they will too CLEAN
much from the true story of the
Negro Soldier, as told for the
first time from the most reliable
source, the War Department Or

that our hearts were filled with
gratitude and pride at the con-
clusion of the picture.
A half-hour chat with Colonel
Lamb, Captain j. e. Parr, adju-
tant, and Captain Powers, a lady
officer of the Wacs, brought to
light the desire of the govern
ment to bring more Negro wo-
men into the service as Wacs.
The visitors informed the Off
GERS that any reluctance on the
part of Negro women to volun-
teer for service in the Army was
because of the widespread prac-
tice of discrimination against Ne
groes by the Army, and that the
matter is largely up to Uncle Sam
to stop discrimination and Ne
groes will gladly do their share.
Colonel Lamb informed the Wis
itors chat the war situation has
become most acute and women
are not being asked to take the
places of men but to take their
own places beside the men," This
little thing, Negro women have
always been willing to do, but
they are sensitive to i'll treatment
even from Uncle Sam.
AS one put it. "Uncle Sam
is perfectly lovely in his high
hat, but he doesn't click with me
on his high horse"
Colonel Lamb explained that
the choice of 239 jobs in the
Wacs are available for women
between the ages of 20 and 40
and the visitors pledged them
selves to cooperate to the end
that we win this war and get it
over with as quickly as possible

Attorney c. M. Stokes
Opens New Offices

Charles M. Stokes, attorney at
law, recently opened his office.
Room 527 in the Peoples Bank
building at End and Pike streets.
A graduate of Kansas Univer-
sity Law School, Lawrence, Kan
sis, Attorney Stokes has enjoyed
much success in his field
He begun his practice in the
law office of T. w. Bell, noted
authority on Habeas Corpus at
Leavenworth, Kansas; S h ortl "
after this association with T. w.
Bell, Stokes opened his own
office in the same city, practic-
ing until Governor Payen Rather
appointed him assistant attorney
in the Commission of Revenue
and Taxation. He resigned that
office to come to the state OF
Washington.
One highlight of his legal car
Ger that deserves particular men
ton is the fact that in 1888 he
was elected first colored vice
chairman of the National Young
Republican Federation and is re-
sponsible for the clause in their
present constitution stating that
oe vice chairman thereof will
always be a member of the Negro
Race.

the Hon. Wendell Willkie and
Eric Johnston. Thor Tollefsoh,
Pierce County prosecutor, was
named first as temporary chair
man and later on as permanent
chairman of the convention. His
mastery handling of the chair
contributed to the harmony pre-
vailing at the meeting. Mrs. Thos

Committee chairmen who re-
ported were: State Senator John
T. McCutcheon, credentials; Hon.
Harvey Scofield, rules of order;
Hon. A. b. Comfort, platform
and resolutions. Richard Hodge
read the official call to cOnven-

outstanding advocate of public
power and old age assistance and
has taken a prominent part in
activities of the Grange for sew

Other prominent persons gave
outstanding assistance in building
the convention, amog them Ar
thur L. Hayes, who served on

mittee. Mr.. Hayes was seen bus
lily engaged with the committee
tasks and taking time out once
in a while to greet some Of the
delegates and guests. Mr.. Hayes
is highly respected in the City
of Tacoma for his time and pa

other welfare endeayor. 1t is
the knowledge of this writer that
mir. Hayes performs many kindly

handled tickets for all OF the
big meetings given lately and Mr..
George French is an expert sound

potentate of the Imperial Shrine,
All in all the many others whom

ago as one of Hitler's newly-appointed
Lieutenant Colonels.
4. Heinrich Himmler, himself, Minister Of
the Interior, Gestapo Chief and mass mur-
derer 1t was Himmler who inspired the train
ing schools for future Fuehrers, and as the
patron saint of these chosen Nazi youths,
he is the logical man to start them on the
new path leading to the underground. Fur
thermore, the whole job of co oo-ordinating the
underground movement is his.
wInviaeibleH - They Hspo
As THE day of defeat nears, the old radical
Nazi Party organizations. like the Storm
Troops which helped bring Hitler to power
but then lost much of their influence, are
again being significantly revived. "You must
march and sing again." Himmler has said,
ito reawaken the old spirit of invincibility."
The Nazi blueprint for defeat, and the
mechanism being built to carry it out, must
be recognized for what they are: new con-
spiracy to keep alive the spirit of revenge and
a step toward bringing about World War III.
Said Hitler in his speech last New Years
Eve: IF millions of people no longer possess
anything to lose, they can only gain some
thing" The Nazi underground - unless
the Allies ferret it out and smash it -
will try to see to it that the Germans
have nothing to lose worth remaining at
peace to keep.
A story now making the rounds in Germany
shows that some Germans, at least, under
stand all too well what is going on:
An optimist and a pessimist are discussing
Germanys future. Says the optimist: IF we
lose the war, at least we'll have lost the Na1
Party" To which the pessimist replies: But
suppose we lose the war and KEEP the party!"
That is the aim of the Nazi blueprint for
defeat. and the meaning of the new slogan
of the Nazi inner circle: Even if Germany
loses the war, the Nazi Party will not capitu-,
late"
If it is not forced to capitulate, if it is not
thoroughly rooted out of the underground
which it is now preparing for itself and COM
pletely eradicated, another generation after
this will have to fight and die. l hope the
present generation of Allied soldiers will think
of that if they begin to get tired, too soon,
of policing defeated Germany.

plans for the violence and terror that is to
start as soon as the German armies have fired
the last shot - even if the planners aren't
there to supervise it themselves. The Swedish
newspaper Ny Dag recently disclosed that
two secret divisions of picked SIS. men (the
black-shirted Elite guards) have been formed,
and are being trained in the latest guerrilla
tactics. Their principal job will be to create

am convinced that Hitler and other leaders,
especially Himmler. are today preparing the
underground, in case of the worst, even if they
are still hoping for compromise peace"
As matter Of fact, selected Nazi groups
are now being drilled in the ideologies of the
former political parties, In courses open only
to the most trustworthy, the doctrines of the
Social Democrats, Catholics, Communists
and other opposition parties are being taught.
Disguised Naxis are being insinuated into
these groups and when q new regime is
formed, these Nazis will be politically
active - unrecognized, they hope, but
ready to work from the inside.
Similarly, numbers of loyal Nazis have in
the past few months been sent to concentra-
ton camps as alleged political enemies of the
regime. This strategy is based on the belief
that after the war the Allies will place par
ticular faith in those now in the concentra-
ton and prison camps. Party members are
also being mfiltrated into the present anti
Nazi underground movement
The Nazis have ready-made training
ground for their underground of tomorrow -
THE political education Schools" which for
10 years have been turning out prospective
young Gauleiters, Gestapo chiefs and Fueh-
rers. Only now the curriculum has been
completely changed. The aim now is to edu-
cate future underground leaders
Fuehxexs Of To,noerow
ABoUT 10000 hand-picked boys enter this
monstrosity of an educational system each
year, by way of the 80 Adolf Hitler schools
The most promising graduates are picked each
year for the next higher schools, called O1dens-
bn1een. There are three of these. and they
constitute kind of mystic order, where the
elite few are initiated into Nazi brotherhood.
Gaping the whole structure - the uni
versity and grand lodge of this Young Nazi
fellowship - is the Fneh1er Schnle in Chem
see in Bavaria. Here youths reckoned as
Fuehrer material - about a thousand each
year - learn the finer points of being super
men. But the emphasis now is on how super
men can operate under cover. They are being
taught how to operate an underground press
how to start rumors, how to make subtle
attacks on prevailing institutions.
