VOLUME XXXXV KAISER'S CALL GETS LOCAL RECRUITS TWENTY ANAHEIMERS PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR THE FIRING LINE IN EUROPE EVERY AVAILABLE MAN SUBJECT TO DUTY WILL ANSWER THE SUMMONS Five thousand miles distant from the stupendous conflict raging in Europe it was believed that Anaheim could have no interest in the war save that of the general hope that the slaughter would speedily end, but the recent proclamation of the Kaiser calling out the last reserves has caused a score of young men to begin making hasty preparations to leave for Europe and enlist in the ranks of the defenders of the Fatherland. Some weeks ago when the second call for reservists was issued, twenty young men from Anaheim and its vicinity promptly re-ported to the German consul at Los Angeles. They had all served in the German army and held themselves in readiness to return to their old com- MR. AND MRS. MOORE RETURN FROM EAST Boston Climate Unsuitable to Their Wardrobe, they State Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Moore, who left here five months ago for Boston, have returned. They arrived in Los Angeles Saturday and came down to Anaheim Sunday on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Biliger. Mr. Moore was formerly a valued employee of this office, but having been offered a position on a Boston daily he and his wife concluded to move to the hub of the universe. On their journey east they traveled through the Southern states making stops at Washington, New York and other points. After spending a few months in Boston Mr. and Mrs. Moore discovered than an extended residence under the genial sun of California unfitted a person for sojourn elsewhere, so they concluded to return. At the beginning of winter they discovered that it would require one hundred dollars worth of extra clothing to keep them comfortable during the season, so they decided to return to California where their wardrobes would fit the climate. Mr. Moore states that the cost of living in Boston is at least 50 per cent higher than in California and that business is in hideplorable condition.

Some weeks ago when the second call for reservists was issued, twenty young men from Anaheim and its vicinity promptly reported to the German consul at Los Angeles. They had all served in the German army and held themselves in readiness to return to their old comrades and share with their former comrades the hardships of war. They were told however, by the consul, that the call did not include them, that their services were not needed, but that they should be prepared to go in case there should be a call that would include them. He further informed the boys that they need not worry as they would be transported without cost to themselves also that the German government would transport them safely through to the firing line. The proclamation issued Saturday by his Majesty calling the last reserves into action includes those men and everyone is making hasty preparations to respond. 'The Kaiser's call is as follows: "We William, by God’s grace German Kaiser and King of Prussia, command the following changes in conscript: "That all those members of the landsturm who were not called out by command of August 15 are now called up, every one of them. "All the men in the country are called to report themselves not later than December 20, and those Germans who are in foreign countries must either by writing or orally report themselves to the nearest representative of the German government." This is the last call for Germany's regular reserves. After them come the extra reserves of the classes of 1914 and 1915, and then the volunteers. The landwehr are the first reserves; they were all called out at the beginning of the war. The first class of the landsturm, called out on August 15, were all men between 39 and 45 who had served in the army or navy a certain time. The second class, now called out, comprise all between 18 and 45 who have not been in the army, but have been passed as physically fit. Living six thousand miles distant from the capital where this order was issued, and under a neutral flag, it was not necessary for these men to leave their peaceful homes and their profitable employment, but their inborn love for the Fatherland and their sense of obliquity to the colors to genial sun of California unitted a person for sojourn elsewhere, so they concluded to return. At the beginning of winter they discovered that it would require one hundred dollars worth of extra clothing to keep them comfortable during the season, so they decided to return to California where their wardrobes would fit the climate. Mr. Moore states that the cost of living in Boston is at least 50 per cent higher than in California and that business is in hideplorable condition. Hundreds of Easterners, he says, are preparing to move to California within the near future. THIMBLE CLUB HAS PLEASANT SESSION Motors Over to Santa Ana and Meets With Mrs. Bruns An automobile outing party was given by the members of the East Side Thimble club at the home of Mrs. Gus Bruns on Walnut avenue, Santa Ana on Wednesday afternoon.

Bruns and Miss Gussle Bruns of Santa Ana. The guests of the afternoon were Mrs. McMasters of Long Beach, Mrs. Hilton, Mrs. Evans and Miss Zimmerman of Santa Ana and Mrs. Megreedy of Clapham, Ill. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess at the close of a very enjoyable afternoon, and at 4:30 start for home was made. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Anna Lee on Placentia avenue, January. A. NAGEL SELLS HARDWARE STORE Retires From the Business After Twenty Years In Harness After conducting his business 20 years in Anaheim, A. Nagel has disposed of his hardware store to O. N.

Living six thousand miles distant from the capital where this order was issued, and under a neutral flag, it was not necessary for these men to leave their peaceful homes and their profitable employment, but their in-born love for the Fatherland and their sense of obligation to the colors to which they once swore allegiance impels them to return and offer their lives in defense of their native land. The names of the reservists and the commands to which they belong were not available yesterday but will be recorded as they leave for Europe. LIBRARY NEWS The book committee expect to purchase new books for the library soon. The committee will appreciate it very much if anyone desiring any special book will leave the title and author with the librarian during the next two weeks. The library board wishes to thank publicly the Christian Science association of Anaheim for the beautiful copy of the Holy Bible donated November 9, 1914, also for several volumes by Mary Baker Eddy. At the meeting of the board December 4th it was moved and carried that the rooms downstairs in the library be kept locked and no one except the Board of Trade and the Merchants' Association be allowed to use them without receiving permission from the board and notifying the librarian when the room is to be used so the janitor may be instructed to have it ready. Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Mullinix and Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Skinner went up to Los Angeles Wednesday night to attend the theatre. Retires From the Business After Twenty Years In Harness After conducting his business 20 years in Anaheim, A. Nagel has disposed of his hardware store to O. N. Schleusener of Los Angeles. Mr. Nagel began the business in 1894 in partnership with L. E. Miller. Two years later the stock was divided, and each conducted a separate establishment. During the score of years since its establishment Mr. Nagel's business has expanded until it is now one of the largest hardware stores in the county. The new proprietor, Mr. Schlensener is an experienced hardware man, having conducted a large establishment in Minnesota for a number of years. Mr. Nagel expects to devote his time to his other interests in Anaheim. Letters of administration have been petitioned for by Louise Schmidt of this city upon the estate of Fred Schmidt. The estate, valued at $2500 goes to the widow and three children. J. C. Burke of Santa Ana is attorney for the petitioner. The Knights of Pythias lodge elected new officers for the coming year Wednesday night. They are C. W. Hedges, C. C.; Frank Davls, V. C.; Henry Armbrust, Prelate; Frank Goodrich, Master of Work; O. B. Baxter, Master at Arms; Clinton Idlor, Keeper of Records and Seals; B. T. Beale, Master of Finance; Alexander Henry, Master of Exchequer; Rudolph Fossek, Inside Guard; W. L. Amstuts, Outside Guard; C. W. Thomas, musician; H. F. Keallher and C. E. Robinson, trustees. Visitors were present at the meeting from Los Angeles and Long Beach. L. F.

Judging from the many people who throng the streets and the stores the universal admonition to "do your Christmas shopping early," is having its effect. Much has been written in late years on the folly of Christmas giving but it has had little influence on the people who look upon Christmas as a time for exchanging tokens of good will, and regard the custom as a time-honored and sacred obligation. The spirit of Christmas is enthroned in the hearts of all people wherever Christianity exists, and it can never be dethroned. The beautiful customs of the season have been handed down to us from with strangers who have no earthly use for you except to make a profit out of you, that you gained nothing either as to quality of goods or price by so doing, and that you loat by not spending that money in your own town thereby helping it to prosper. Glance at the advertising columns of the Gazette this week and see what your neighbors, your home merchants, have to offer. If they haven't got what you want they can secure it for you at the same price you would pay if you purchased it from the shelves of a city store, and at perhaps a less figure. The postoffice authorities, are already seeing evidences of the spirit of Christmas and confidently predict that this will be a record-breaking year. The parcel post is partly responsible for this, but it is anticipated that the packages going east from this region will be the heaviest ever known. DAMON AND PYTHIAS AT MASON TONIGHT Spectacular Drama Presented by K. P. Lodge With Local Talent The last rehearsal of the cast for the presentation of Damon and Pythias at the Mason theatre was held yesterday afternoon. The characters are all well drilled and perfected in their parts, and the spectacular drama is one of the finest ever presented to an MANY GHANGES IN BUSINESS LOCATIONS NUMEROUS FIRMS PREPARING TO MOVE INTO NEW AND MORE COMMODIOUS QUARTERS SEVERAL BUILDINGS NEARING COMPLETION AND OTHERS SOON TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION Numerous removals are contemplated among the business institutions of Anaheim within the near future, some by reason of the erection of new buildings and others because they deem a change of location advantageous. The new Fisher block will be under construction within the next few days, it is reported, and will be rushed to completion as speedily as possible. It will contain three store rooms on the ground floor. One will be occupied by A. E. Hiles, whose dry goods store now occupies a room in the Anaheim opera house, another room is taken by Chef Kasper, who will move his reside is having its effect. Much has been written in late years on the folly of Christmas giving but it has had little influence on the people who look upon Christmas as a time for changing tokens of good will, and regard the custom as a time-honored and sacred obligation. The spirit of Christmas is enthroned in the hearts of all people wherever Christianity exists, and it can never be dethroned. The beautiful customs of the season have been handed down to us from past ages and will be passed on unchanged to future generations. The holly, the mistletoe, the feasting and the spirit of Santa Claus are heritages from our ancestors which we hold sacred, and the man who advocates their abolition should be sternly suppressed. He who disbelieves in Santa Claus is an enemy of the children and should be banished to some heathen land. The wise buyers, according to the Anaheim merchants, are already buying heavily, but the majority of the Christmas shoppers are generally unable to make up their minds what to purchase until the last minute, consequently the last week before Christmas will witness a congestion in the market place and buyers will be forced to make selections fro ma dwindling stock. It is just as easy to decide what you want a month before as it is the day before Christmas, and if you are wise you will make your purchases before somebody else has carried away what you want. It is remarked also, that Christmas shoppers are showing a wise disposition to buy at home this year. A very small percentage of the holiday goods will come from the city. Perhaps a few perverse individuals still believe that an article is better or cheaper if they buy it in Los Angeles but a large majority of the shoppers know that the idea is false and that they can make the same purchases here they can in the city and at equal prices. Anaheim merchants can duplicate anything sold in Los Angeles, and sell it at the same price. All the Anaheim merchants have made preparations for a big trade this season, and all are prepared to furnish their customers anything they ask for. If you should chance to want some article that is not carried in stock your home merchant can get it for you just as soon as you can get it yourself, and at the same price, or perhaps less than the city merchant.

EBELL SOCIETY ENTERTAINS CHILDREN Dalightful Program Rendered by That Body Saturday Afternoon Last Saturday the Ebell Society held its annual children's day celebration. There was a short business session. It was decided that the domestic science section should meet at Mrs.C.F.Grim's on Friday, Dec.17. The music section will meet at Mrs.Don Parkin's on Wednesday, Dec.9. Then followed the program of the day. Miss Heckson gave two fine selections on the piano. Miss Ruth Chamberlain spoke "The White Rat" by Mrs.Henry Dyer. Miss Katherine Stewart gave a piano solo. Miss Dorothy Swope, accompanied on the piano change of location advantageous. The new Fisher block will be under construction within the next few days, it is reported, and will be rushed to completion as speedily as possible. It will contain three store rooms on the ground floor. One will be occupied by A.E.Hiles, whose dry goods store now occupies a room in the Anaheim opera house, another room is taken by Chef Kasper, who will move his restaurant therein, and the name of the third tenant is not yet made public. F.A.Yungbluth's new building at the corner of Lemon and Center, is nearing completion and the two ground floor rooms will soon be ready for occupancy. J.F.Louterbach, whose shoe store is now conducted in temporary quarters on North Los Angeles street, will move into one of the rooms. The new Hartfield block is also being pushed as rapidly as possible and will shortly be ready for its occupants. It is divided into two rooms. The east room, adjoining the Dreyfus building, will contain one of the departments of the S.Q.R.Rstore, that establishment finding it necessary to step over, the Dreyfus building being too small for their expanding business. It will be ready for them within a week. Mr.Hartfield will move his big jewelry establishment into the west room, and the place he now occupies has been leased by Richard Fischle of the Mission candy store. Mr.Fischle's present quarters have grown too narrow for him, and he is moving westward where there is more room to expand. Schmidt & Knirsch on Tuesday moved their piano and musical establishment to the Spoerl and Muckenthal building on East Center street, and their old quarters in the Kroeger block is to be occupied by a new drug store. W.Hazel of Los Angeles, is the proprietor. There are other new buildings spoken of as possibilities of the future, notably two splendid blocks on West Center street, but plans have not yet been completed. MEXICAN INJURED BY AUTO COLLISION Run Down on Buena Park Road Sunday Night and Seriously Injured Epignition Barba appeared on the street Monday morning looking like a All the Anaheim merchants have made preparations for a big trade this season, and all are prepared to furnish their customers anything they ask for. If you should chance to want some article that is not carried in stock your home merchant can get it for you just as soon as you can get it yourself, and at the same price, or perhaps less than the city merchant asks for it. If you want costly furs, silks, satins or laces you can get them of or through your dry goods merchant. If you want clothing the merchant, tailors of Anaheim can duplicate anything you can find anywhere on earth both as to quality and fit and duplicate or lower the price of the city merchant. If you want a $500 diamond you can get it of your Anaheim jeweler, and if you want a jewel running into the thousands he can furnish it at the same price you would pay for it elsewhere. Jewels are standardized and the same price prevails everywhere, except in Anaheim where the jewelers are selling this season at a heavy reduction. If you want something in the hardware line you will find the stores of Anaheim equal to any in California and their prices just as low. If you want toys for the children you will find the same stock on the counters here that you would find in Los Angeles. Everything that ever came out of Nuremberg is displayed here and the prices are the lowest in the world. So far as meats, poultry and other foodstuffs are concerned it is a fact too well known to be worth mentioning that our own dealers carry a better and a fresher stock and give better prices than the city dealer can offer. Therefore don't go away from home to do your Christmas shopping. If you don't you will not have occasion to reflect hereafter that you spent money. There was a short business session. It was decided that the domestic science section should meet at Mrs. C. F. Grim's on Friday, Dec. 17. The music section will meet at Mrs. Don Parkin's on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Then followed the program of the day. Miss Heckson gave two fine selections on the piano. Miss Ruth Chamberlain spoke "The White Rat" by Mrs. Henry Dyer. Miss Katherine Stewart gave a piano solo. Miss Dorothy Swope, accompanied on the piano by Miss Sidnam, danced the Highland Fling. Miss Margaret Hackson gave a beautiful toe dance. The rest of the afternoon was given up to games and story telling. Miss Maddox, our efficient kindergarten teacher led the games for the children, and told them a beautiful story about a little boy's visit to Santa Claus's house by way of dreamland. Miss Inex Elliot played the accompaniments for the games. As a pretty little surprise, little Miss Heckson sang for the children. Each of the children was made happy by receiving a fine box of candy. From the expressions on the children's faces it was evident that they enjoyed the afternoon to the full and so did everyone else. Clark Chamberlain, captain of the basket ball team, entertained the members of that body and a number of their lady friends at his home on Broadway Saturday night. With the exception of the excellent luncheon that was served later, those present were Misses Bernice Col, Edna Mills, Callye Calloway, Millie Frazer, Marie Dickenson and Bess Cox and Messrs Clevenger, Mogede, Cos Wellman, Frank Schacht, Harold Douglass, Clarence and Ashley Chamberlain, and Coach Ben Millikan and his wife. Miss Esther Schnitger entertained a number of her friends on Tuesday evening of last week. The evening was spent in conversations and fancy work. At the close of a very enjoyable evening refreshments were served by the hostess. The invited guests were the Misses Hartman, Hilker, Neff, Houdyshel, Palm, Deering, Maas, Johnson, Gibbs, Sidnam, Look and Hurbertus. MEXICAN INJURED BY AUTO GULLISION Run Down on Buena Park Road Sunday Night and Seriously Injured Epignino Barba appeared on the street Monday morning looking like a Mexican patriot who had been striving to save his native land by fighting with one of the numerous factions now disturbing the peace of that unhappy country. His head was swathed in bandages, his face was dotted with white patches and his broken right arm was carried in a sling. Barba had been rundown on the Buena Park road the previous evening by an auto. He and his family were jogging along the road in a buggy, he said, when an auto came up behind and smashed into them. The buggy was demolished but Espignino was the only occupant seriously hurt. The auto passed on but the injured man was able to take down the number. Investigation revealed that the car belonged to Carl Pressel of this city. Mr. Truxaw. Whole not dangerous they are sufficiently serious to cause him to take an enforced rest for some weeks. He claimed that the tall light was burning at the time of the accident. Miss Esther Schnitger entertained a number of her friends on Tuesday evening of last week.

BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY AT ST. JOSEPH'S Exquisite Embroidered Goods Placed On Sale by the Sisters One of the most beautiful stocks of goods offered for sale at this holiday season is a small one when compared with the heavy stocks handled by the merchants. There are little more than one hundred pieces in the display, but each piece is worth many times the price affixed to it by the sales-ladies. It can be seen on exhibition at St. Joseph's Academy, and is the work of the sisters in charge of that institution, who have employed their leisure time in fashioning beautiful articles in embroidery and drawn work. There are more than one hundred pieces, consisting of doffles, stand covers, napkins, handkerchiefs, and various articles. All show exquisite workmanship. The chief article on display is a beautiful table cloth brought from China by Father Dubbel on his return from the Orient a few months ago. It exhibits the highest type of Chinese embroidery and is valued at $150, but the workmanship on it is not more beautiful than that of the sisters on their smaller articles. Father Dubbel also brought with him a dozen napkins executed in the same design in the table cover. DOG BITE CAUSES GEO. SNURR'S DEATH SUFFERING FROM HYDROPHOBIA OLIVE MAN DIES AT SANITARIUM MONDAY NIGHT WAS BITTEN TWO MONTHS AGO BY PET CANINE WHICH AFTERWARD DIED Death in its most terrible form was the fate of George Snurr of Olive, a man well known to many of the people of Anaheim. Suffering from a well-defined case of hydrophobia he was brought to this city Monday afternoon and taken to the sanitarium for treatment. No hope was entertained for his recovery owing to the fact that the disease had developed before medical treatment was given him, and at 9:30 o'clock in the evening he died after passing through several convulsions. The unfortunate man was a bachelor and lived alone at Olive. He owned a small dog which he called a pup.

Wm. MacCormack, D. D. Dean of St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, (Episcopal), Los Angeles, will deliver his lecture "Sunshine and Shadows of Life", at the Fremont school, under the auspices of the Vostry of St. Michael's Episcopal church of this city. The Dean is well known for his wit and humor and this assures a jolly lecture on such a subject. For the man, the subject, and the pleasant evening, the price of 25c for admission is all too small, yet this small amount brings this treat within reach of all. Tickets on sale at a number of down town stores. The date, Thursday, Dec. 17, the place, Fremont school. MEN'S CLUB TO MEET The December meeting of the St. Michael's Men's club will be held on Wednesday evening, December 16th at the Parish house, and a good time is assured. The entertainment is to be in the nature of a Christmas tree treat. Everyman bring a Josh present for someone else which Santa Claus will distribute during the evening. The club now numbers 70 members and they are planning great things for the future. At this meeting a re- workmanship. The chief article on display is a beautiful table cloth brought from China by Father Dubbel on his return from the Orient a few months ago. It exhibits the highest type of Chinese embroidery and is valued at $150, but the workmanship on it is not more beautiful than that of the sisters on their smaller articles. Father Dubbel also brought with him a dozen napkins executed in the same design as the table cover. These goods are on sale at the academy and the sale will continue throughout the week if the stock holds out until Saturday. The proceeds of the sale will be used for the benefit of the school. The sisters will be glad to welcome all who wish to view some of the finest work ever turned out. In purchasing from them you will not only be helping a good cause but will get more than your money's worth. After seeing the work you will agree that there are some high-class artists at St. Joseph's. Very well, Doctor," said Snurr. "Don't let me suffer is all I ask." It was apparent then that the virus had reached the brain and all the medical skill on earth could not save the man's life. He suffered from frequent convulsions and grew rapidly worse. Monday afternoon it was deemed advisable to bring him to the sanitarium. Nothing could be done for the unfortunate man except to relieve his sufferings. It was necessary to put him in a straight jacket in order to restrain him during his violent struggles and his cries could be heard for a block or more. He died at half past nine o'clock. Mr. Snurr had no relatives in this neighborhood. He lived alone at Olive, being the owner of a small place there. He was about sixty years of age, and made his living by working at odd jobs. A brother living in Nebraska was notified by wire and is on his way here to take charge of the body. Many people in Anaheim were acquainted with Mr. Snurr who was a quiet, inoffensive, industrious man. His death in such a horrible manner is a shock to all who know him. The bite of a rabid dog, according to an Anaheim physician, is not as serious as it once was owing to advanced methods of treatment. Under the Pasteur system, if the patient is treated before the disease develops, only one-half of one per cent die— The December meeting of the St. Michael's Men's club will be held on Wednesday evening, December 16th at the Parish house, and a good time is assured. The entertainment is to be in the nature of a Christmas tree treat. Everyman bring a Josh present for someone else which Santa Claus will distribute during the evening. The club now numbers 70 members and they are planning great things for the future. At this meeting a report will be made by the club's house building committee. To top off the evening a fine hot lunch will be served by the club's chef of national fame. All members are expected to be present. GASOLINE FROM NATURAL GAS The extraction of gasoline from casing head gas (natural gas from oil wells) has become one of the important adjuncts of the natural gas industry in the United States. The production is increasing rapidly, the quantity produced in 1913 having almost doubled that of 1912, owing to the installation of a greater number of plants and to the advance in the price of gasoline. The uses of natural gas gasoline are many and varied. It is principally used for raising the standard of naphtha or low grade distillates consumed in motors; it is also used for lighting; and it can be used like regular gasoline in all the arts. There is an ever increasing demand for this gas to be used in automobiles. B. Hartfield is the first property owner on the south side of West Center street to comply with the recently formulated plans to slice off eight feet of the frontage in order to give that thoroughfare a 16-foot sidewalk. The front of Mr. Hartfield's new building is now completed and it sits back eight feet from the present line. Others will follow suit, and it is believed that before many moons the entire frontage will line up with Mr. Hartfields. Two or three new buildings are being spoken of, the owners all being favorable to the plan. NO TAX ON HUNTERS County Clerk Williams has received instructions from Ernest Schaeffle, executive secretary of the State Fish and Game Commission, to the effect that internal revenue stamps will not be required upon hunters' and anglers' licenses. The letter follows: Dear Sir: The question having been raised as to whether or not war tax stamps will be needed for hunting, angling and commercial fishing licenses, the commission has laid the matter before the Hon. Jos. J. Scott, collector of internal revenue for the First District of California. Mr. Scott advises the commission that the tax in his opinion will not be imposed upon such licenses. As there seems to be considerable doubt on this subject and particularly as we have been informed that certain issues of licensees are notifying the public that the war tax must be added to the cost of the licenses, we would ask that the opinion of the collector of internal revenue be given due publicity.
