RARE TREAT FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT WILL DELIVER THREE ADDRESSES AT BERKELEY ENROLLMENT FOR PRESENT TERM WILL EXCEED MORE THAN 10,000 MEN AND WOMEN (Correspondence Anaheim Gazette.) Berkeley, Aug. 17.—To hear an ex-President of the United States discuss the powers and duties of the great office he has held is the unique opportunity to be offered the people of California in the Greek theatre at Berkeley. Williams H. Taft, former president of the United States, has accepted the invitation of the university and the Pacific Theological Seminary to give three lectures in the Greek Theatre of the university, at four o'clock on the afternoons of Monday, August 30; Wednesday, September 1; and Friday, September 3. President Taft's subject will be—The Presidency, Its Powers, Duties, Limitations and Responsibilities. Himself a university professor—he now holds the Kent Professorship of Law at Yale, and lectures there on constitutional law — President Taft comes most appropriately to address a university audience. He is uniquely fitted to discuss the great constitutional and historical matters of his subject, for to long years on the federal bench he added the administra- Merchants or engineers who learn Chinese or Japanese cease to be at the mercy of untrustworthy or unscrupulous interpreters. To read native newspapers and be able to talk with natives directly is a tremendous asset for the business man in the Orient. There is need, also, of men of unusual intellectual gifts and training to teach Oriental languages in the universities of the world and to serve as assistants, curators, and librarians for cataloging and arranging Oriental collections and manuscripts. A reading knowledge of several Oriental languages is usually expected of an expert in such fields. Private generosity has provided in the University unique opportunity for mastering Oriental languages, for the late Edward Tompkins gave to the university an endowment, now of a hundred thousand dollars, for teaching of Chinese and Japanese. This Agassiz professorship is now held by one of the most distinguished of the world's scholars in this field—Dr. Alfred Forke, formerly professor of Chinese in the University of Berlin, for many years a resident of China, fluent in its spoken languages, and eminent for his explorations in China and Siberia and his writing on Chinese literature, folklore, philosophy, and art. To help women to the greatest possible success as homemakers is the object of the new correspondence courses in Home Economics just arranged by the University of California Extension division in cooperation with the Santa Barbara Normal school of manual arts and home economics. There will be courses in selection, preparation, and care and preservation of food, on feeding the family; on feeding infants, on planning, arranging and furnishing the house, on household management and on the selection and maintenance of clothing. These courses will not count for credit toward a university degree but there From August to ports of cartridge other explosives, plates and shells,$67,902,270.

Himself a university professor—he now holds the Kent Professorship of Law at Yale, and lectures there on constitutional law — President Taft comes most appropriately to address a university audience. He is uniquely fitted to discuss the great constitutional and historical matters of his subject, for to long years on the federal bench he added the administrative experience of service as the first governor of the Phillippines, from 1909 to 1904; as Secretary of War, from 1904 to 1908; and as president from 1909 to 1913. So great is the seating capacity of the Greek theatre that it has been possible to issue a general invitation to the whole community to attend this memorable series of lectures by one of the most distinguished of living American citizens. Ten thousand strong—such will be the enrollment for the new year of the University, beginning with the registration of the freshmen on Friday and Saturday, August 13, and 14, with the registration of upper classmen on Monday, August 16, and with the full tide of regular classes on Tuesday. Because the war has drained most European universities of the vast majority of their students, it is probable not one of the famous Old World universities, such as Paris or Berlin, which in the past have exceeded the University in attendance, will this year equal it in enrollment. Probably only Columbia university in New York alone of all the world's universities, will exceed its enrollment. More than six thousand students are expected to gather on the Berkeley campus this autumn for full regular courses. The medical school, the school of jurisprudence, the Hastings College of Law, and the dental and pharmacy departments all expect large enrollments besides. At the University farm at Davis, a throng of farmers and their wives are expected, for the practical Short Courses in animal husbandry, farm management, farm mechanics, field andorage crops, irrigation, and veterinary science, which will continue from October 4 to November 12. The University is becoming a Mecca for young men who want to make a career in the Orient in business, engineering, the professors, the consular or Chinese customs service, medicine law or missionary work. ranged by the University of California Extension division in cooperation with the Santa Barbara Normal school of manual arts and home economics. There will be courses in selection, preparation, and care and preservation of food, on feeding the family; on feeding infants, on planning, arranging and furnishing the house, on household management and on the selection and maintenance of clothing. These courses will not count for credit toward a university degree, but there will be also a course of college grade, entitled a General Survey of Home Economics. These new extension correspondence courses in home economics will all be prepared and given by the Santa Barbara Normal school faculty, under the direction of its president, Miss Edna A. Rich. Additional courses will be offered on any home economics subject for which sufficient students apply, and lectures and demonstrations will be made available for groups of students, women's clubs or parent-teachers' associations. ENORMOUS LOSSES IN EUROPEAN WAR French Estimate Place Number of Killed in Contending Armies at 5,290,000 up to June 1 We do not necessarily have to accept the report of the French war office as to the casualties sustained by all the belligerents as conclusive, any more than we did the proposed Red Cross report, made public some time ago at Denver. But it is safe to assume that France did not exaggerate its own losses. Its report as to the other allies may also be approximately correct, although there is a possibility that in order to impress the people of France that they are not bearing all the burden of the war the losses of the allies are magnified. But the indisputable, although almost inconceivable fact is that 460,000 soldiers of France had been killed prior to June 1, while 660,000 were wounded and 180,000 taken prisoners. This covered nine months of the war. The figures are beyond reach of the mind. It is only by comparison that they can be comprehended. The Union killed in all the battles of the civil war amounted to but 67,048. Deaths from wounds, disease and other causes such as accidents, murder, prisons, etc., brought the total up to 349,944.

The University is becoming a Mecca for young men who want to make a career in the Orient in business, engineering, the professors, the consular or Chinese customs service, medicine, law or missionary work. The reason is that in only one other American university besides this can the student learn how to read and speak Chinese and Japanese. In addition, the university offers instruction also in Arabic, Russian, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Syrian and all the chief European languages. Young men are awakening to the great opportunities study of Chinese or Japanese unlocks to ambitious Americans. The United States consular service has afforded a highly successful career to a number of men who studied Oriental languages at the university. One of these, Julian Arnold, recently achieved the distinction of appointment as commercial attache of the United States for China and Japan. Knowledge of an Oriental tongue means a great advantage in the special examinations for admission to the consular service or for appointment as student interpreter in China, Japan or the Ottoman empire. Study of Chinese opens the way for admission to the Martime customs service of the Republic of China. Those proficient in Chinese win rapid promotion toward the well-paid and coveted post of Commissioner of Customs. Those who want to be missionaries or teachers in foreign native schools in the Orient must learn a native tongue to be successful. WAR MUNITIONS EXPORTS LARGE Increase of More Than 400 Per Cent During First Eleven Months of European War WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The tremendous extent to which American manufacturers of munitions of war profited during the first eleven months of the European war is shown by fig- ures obtained by the department of commerce. From August to June, inclusive, exports of cartridges, gunpowder and other explosives, firearms and brass plates and shells, reached a value of $67,902,270. The total value of such shipments in the preceding fiscal year was $12,885,584, showing that the American manufacture of munitions increased his business $55,051,686 or more than 400 per cent. Classified under the headings used by the Department of Commerce, in keeping records of these exports, the comparative figures for the full fiscal year 1914 and 11 months of the fiscal year are as follows: 12 Months 11 Months 1913-14 1914-15 Cartridges ... $3,521,533 $17,402,410 Gunpowder ... 247,200 5,088,754 Other explosives. 916,280 17,705,580 Firearms ... 3,442,297 9,157,963 Brass Plates ... 791,639 6,177,160 Brass articles ... 3,996,665 12,330,403 Totals ... $12,885,584 $64,902,270 MORE INEFFICIENCY AT WASHINGTON As business managers the democrats have been a conspicuous failure. It has already been shown that the three laws the last congress enacted to raise money, namely the tariff, income tax, and war tax laws, each failed to produce the amount needed. A study of the record of laws enacted to spend money shows that careless methods of appropriation insured wasteful expenditure. Examine the history of appropriation bills during the time the democratic house has handled them, and you find that fifteen regular appropriation bills have failed to pass before the necessary date, and that fifteen times a resolution extending the appropriation of the previous year had to... A study of the record of laws enacted to spend money shows that careless methods of appropriation insured wasteful expenditure. Examine the history of appropriation bills during the time the democratic house has handled them, and you find that fifteen regular appropriation bills have failed to pass before the necessary date, and that fifteen times a resolution extending the appropriation of the previous year had to be passed. This method of appropriation is an admission of incompetency and inefficiency in itself. It causes a tremendous financial loss in the work of every department of government. It complicates accounts, hinders the making of plans in advance, prevents the execution of contracts for necessary work, and prevents allotting funds equitably for the different seasons of the year. A member of the present cabinet, Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield, severely criticised congress for this kind of extravagance in his last annual report. Finally, money loss arises from failure to make appropriations in time to keep the work of the government moving. The serious results of these latter losses are probably not appreciated. They undoubtedly amount to more than some of the economies thought to be effected by clipping estimates, the secretary is quoted as saying. In this connection it should not be overlooked that during the sixteen years of Republican control preceding the present administration, the appropriation bills were invariably passed before they were needed, and an extension resolution was never resorted to. Two of this year's great supply bills, one appropriating funds for the post office department and the other for the Indian bureau, failed of passage last March. All the work of preparing estimates, planning new projects, and the intelligent continuation of former works has been absolutely wasted by the failure of these bills. The affairs of those two branches of government must now be conducted under plans nearly two years old which are absolutely foreign to conditions at the present time. A tremendous waste of time and money is inevitable, and the service that should be rendered to the public will be seriously impaired.

CONSTABLE HELD ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT Eugene Davis of Huntington Beach Bound Over to Superior Court By Judge Howard Held to answer, Constable Eugene Davis of Huntington Beach must appear in the superior court for using his revolver as a club upon the head of Ernest Rentz. The preliminary examination, held before Justice Howard of Anaheim, Friday, resulted in an order that the constable be held on a bond of $1000, which was given. On the witness stand, Davis for the first time in court told the story of the affair. When Rentz was on trial on a charge of disturbing the peace, several witnesses recited incidents of the arrest. At that time Davis did not testify, it appearing that he would likely be prosecuted for his part in the inflicting of wounds upon Rentz. Davis was put upon the stand by his attorney, H. C. Head. Davis said he arrested Rentz for intoxication and disturbing the peace. Rentz rushed at Davis, and Davis struck him to stop him. A second time Rentz rushed at the officer, and again the officer says he used his revolver as a club. A third rush was met in the same way. Then Rentz was led across the street. He sat down on a vacant lot. He got up and again rushed at Davis, saying he would kill him. Davis then struck him a fourth time. Davis denied using the revolver except as Rentz was attacking him, and only for purpose of stopping him. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel put on witnesses whose stories of the use of the officer's gun differed widely from the story told by the officer himself. Dan Ross said that Rentz was sitting on the running board of an automobile, evidently intoxicated, when Davis told him to get up. When Rentz failed to obey, Davis hit him over the head with his revolver. Ross told of other blows struck without any more provocation than failure to obey. Frank Catchings' mother testified that she saw Davis strike Rentz a heavy blow. Then as Rentz leaned up against an automobile in a dazed manner Davis hit him again. She heard her son say, "Don't hit him again. He is all in." Just as she was turning away from the sickening California Wine Co. Finest Brands of Wines and Liquors Always In Stock.
