NEW GRAND THEATRE, A “THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE” OR PREPAREDNESS, will be shown the most noteworthy achievement in the history of motion pictures. But “THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE” is more than a motion picture. It is a great national propaganda dealing with the most important problem that has confronted this nation since the Civil War—the problem of America’s unpreparedness. If you have a drop of red blood in your veins, you will experience in witnessing this production a thrill such as you have never known before. You will see the enemy approaching, the powerlessness of New York, the weakness of its forts and defenses. You will see the havoc wrought by the enemy’s howitzers, submarines, airships, by its shells, shrapnels, and bombs. You will see the most beautiful sky line in the world in flames, the metropolis of the western hemisphere devastated. You will see New York fall, the desecration that follows. “The Battle Cry of Peace” is a call to arms against war. Scores of prominent Americans in the army and navy and administrative circles have contributed to its preparation. Mr. Charles Richman, the distinguished actor, heads a cast of eminent Vitigraph stars—a cast containing twenty-five thousand National Guardsmen, five thousand horses, eight thousand supernumeraries.

But it is pointed out by men keeping in close touch with political affairs that Orange county will undoubtedly be made a senatorial district by itself after the federal censor to sever their allegiance to Los Angeles and either organize a new county or annex themselves to Orange may be defeated, as there is a potent influence at work in the city against it. This is the Title Abstract and Trust company, one of the most powerful corporations in the state, which objects to a division of the county for business reasons. A gentleman prominent in the political circle of Los Angeles was in Anaheim this week and stated that that corporation together with the Southern Pacific railroad defeated the proposition to consolidate the city and county eight years ago, the first because it curtailed its abstract business, and the other because it might interfere with freight rates under long and short haul acts.

Such American trooper death at the hands “Peace, Prosperity” PROBLEM Continued from Page 1 possible two senatorial districts, with four assemblymen. But it is pointed out by men keeping in close touch with political affairs that Orange county will undoubtedly be made a senatorial district by itself after the federal census to be taken four years hence, as its population is now 60,000, and it will probably poll 25,000 votes at this year's election. This will be sufficient to give us a senator of our own, as well as two assemblymen. There will also come a new alignment of congressional districts after 1920, and the increase in population of the Southern counties has been so large, that the south will gain two and perhaps three new congressmen. The subject is one of entrancing political interest, and while there are two sides to the question of including Whittier, still the matter is being very earnestly discussed in this county, and is at the present time the most important political subject now before the people. Representative citizens of Whittier met with the associated chambers of commerce at Brea Wednesday evening, and on invitation of that body several of them addressed the meeting and gave cogent reasons why the people of that city and the surrounding section were agitating the question of seceding from Los Angeles and asking admission to Orange county. Previous to the meeting at Brea one of the leading citizens of the town, who was in this county gave a brief statement of the reasons for the movement. "If the city of Los Angeles tries to force us into annexation as was done with San Pedro," he said, "we will flatly refuse to go into the corporation, and will petition the legislature to put us in Orange county. We prefer to remain in Los Angeles county, but we do not want to lose our identity by becoming a part of the city. We will also fight against being made a portion of any proposed new county, should attempts be made to form them. We would not submit for a moment to being made the tall end of a new county, where we would receive little or no benefit." There is a possibility that the city of Los Angeles would consent to the session of that strip below the San Ga- main in Los Angeles county, but we do not want to lose our identity by becoming a part of the city. We will also fight against being made a portion of any proposed new county, should attempts be made to form them. We would not submit for a moment to being made the tail end of a new county, where we would receive little or no benefit." There is a possibility that the city of Los Angeles would consent to the cession of that strip below the San Gabriel river to Orange county in the event that the plan to make the city limits co-extensive with the boundary lines of the county, be consummated. It will be necessary to furnish city water to the annexed territory. Both the old and new channels of the San Gabriel river would have to be crossed by the mains, and it will then be necessary to force the water to a higher elevation at Whittier. It would require an endless system of pipes, besides they would be in constant danger of destruction from the floods that periodically rage down the streams and inundate the adjacent lands. It is understood, also, that Long Beach objects to being swallowed up by the city of Los Angeles and is ripe for secession. The Long Beach people will probably advocate the formation of a new county and, falling that, may join with Whittier and ask to be admitted to Orange. This proposition would meet with considerable opposition in this county, as the admission of a strip sufficiently large to take in Long Beach would give the new territory a dominating influence in the county, and the county seat might possibly be moved to Long Beach. It is not probable that the people of this county will consent to the annexation of Long Beach. However, the proposition of Whittier and the other sections of the dis- Whether they will be annexed to Orange, incorporated in the city of Los Angeles, or be embodied in a new county remains to be determined. In the meantime the people of the Quaker city are in a serious dilemma. They object to being swallowed up by the big city, they object to being the tail end of a new county with Pomona as its capital, and they refuse to be incorporated in a county dominated by Long Beach. It is evident they cannot long remain as an independent corporation in Long Angeles county, and their preference is annexation to Orange. The enormous bonded indebtedness of Los Angeles is the reason why that city is endeavoring to extend its corporate limits. The annexed territory would pay its pro rata of the interest on nearly forty million dollars of indebtedness. In addition to objecting to losing its individuality as an independent municipality Whittier also desires to escape this heavy tax burden. As the matter now stands the case may be stated thus: Shall Whittier be annexed to Orange county, in event it is powerful enough to extricate itself from either one of these proposed new counties; or, in the event of sequestration will Los Angeles seek to throw Long Beach and Whittier into Orange county with the possible removal of the county seat at some time in the future to Long Beach, or will Whittier be compelled by Los Angeles to cast its lot with either Long Beach or San Antonio county? The people of Orange county have shown themselves in past years to be able to take care of themselves quite well, despite the wishes of Los Angeles county, and this county may yet see its way clear to taking a hand in this far reaching political contest. Orange county would probably welcome Whittier and its adjacent ter- But what have we done in the meantime?

AMERICAN MUNITIONS IN MEXICO Shot with ammunition Made in America. Such was the fate of the American troopers who met their death at the hands of the Carranzistas. "Peace, Prosperity and Preparedness" democratic party has permitted Mexico to have plenty of ammunition to plug American soldiers. A few months from now, President Wilson can visit Arlington National cemetery, where a number of plain white headstones will bear silent testimony to the accuracy of American rifles and ammunition in the hands of a Mexican banditry, which received his official recognition and his active support.

Such was the fate of the American troopers who met their death at the hands of the Carranzistas. "Peace, Prosperity and Preparedness" is the campaign slogan of the democratic party. And "fair-eyed peace" was killed at Carrizal. It was the logical outcome of the most cowardly and vacillating policy recorded in the annals of American history. Carranza dared because Wilson dared not. Prosperity? It is soaked in the blood of millions of Europe's slain, and Mexico upon whom now war has added her mite to it. Four billion dollars worth of exports have been sent to Europe during the 20 months of war, and 31 classes of those exports, indispensable in modern warfare, made up over 50 per cent of the total. That is democratic prosperity. Preparedness? For three years this country has been on the verge of war with Mexico; for two years Europe has been running mad. The administration, when taxed with its lethargy in regard to preparedness, replied through its chief spokesman, Woodrow Wilson. The country has been misinformed. We have not been negligent of national defense. Yet, today we have no aeroplanes for scout duty in Mexico, and aeroplanes were invented in the United States. We have not sufficient horses for our cavalry, and America is the greatest horse-raising country in the world. Our machine guns are pitifully few in number, and the machine gun is an American invention. And on these three factors must we rely most heavily in a war with Mexico. We are also told that there is a dearth of Ammunition for our troops. But what have we done for Mexico in the meantime? On March 14, 1912, President Taft placed an ambargo on ammunition and guns going into Mexico from the United States. On February 3, 1914, this embargo was taken off by President Wilson. On April 21, 1914, at the time of the Vera Cruz occupation, Mr. Wilson restored the embargo, and on September 9, 1914, he changed his mind and again lifted it. On October 21, 1915, when the A.B.C. conference was in session, or soon SEVENTH REGIMENT GOES TO THE BORDER Col. Schreiber Thinks He has the Best Troops in the Service Speeding away in the darkness, guarded alike by the curtain of night and that which the Federal censor has thrown about them, the thirteen companies of the Seventh California Infantry left Sacramento Monday night for the trouble zone, somewhere along the Mexican frontier. They entrained at the same station as that from which the Second left Sacramento and the men were doubly happy—they were on their way to the border and they were likely to pass through their home county. Their movements are guarded with as much secrecy by the war department as though they were so much gold bullion. The way they were switched from route to route savored more of burlesque than of tactics. To illustrate, the baggage of the Fifth Infantry was first placed in Western Pacific cars; later it was removed and placed in Southern Pacific cars, while that of the Seventh Infantry was consigned to the Western Pacific. There was another switch of troops just before sunset and the Seventh Infantry was finally entrained on the Southern Pacific. Heartily tired were the enlisted men of the Seventh Infantry before they were finally entrained. Their equipment was practically all packed the previous night and the men slept either under their pup tents or in the open. They were called in the morning at 4 o'clock and were ready to train at 7:30. Then came the wearying counter marching from depot to depot and the final entrainment a little past 5 o'clock in the afternoon. "Seven days has made a marked change in the regiment," said Col. Schreiber just before departure. "There are just enough ex-regulars in the ranks to give the new men their cue and they are catching it rapidly. No, I would not willingly exchange my command for any other in the brigade. If they will give us a month's time in training camp we will be ready for active service anywhere and against any enemy. Southern California must not expect its men to perform miracles. Half of them are still soldiers in the Uncle Sam will throw open to settlement this summer approximately 350,000 acres of land in eastern Washington. The draft of the proclamation for the opening of the south half of the Colville Indian reservation has been issued by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, and one of the nations last great land drawings will take place July 27. From July 5 to July 22 registration of those desiring 160-acre farms will be held at Spokane, Wenatchee, Wilbur, Republic, Omak and Colville, in the state of Washington, according to information received in Spokane. The Colville reservation is less than 50 miles from Spokane. It extends from the Columbia river on the east and south to the Okanogan river on the west. It is about 70 miles east and west, and 40 miles north and south. The elevation varies from 1,000 to 6,000 feet. The San Poll river bisects the reservation. Toward the north end of the San Poll valley there are large areas of bench lands. The next valley westward is the Nespelem, which is without timber and supports a luxurant growth of bunch grass. The upper portions are irrigated and raise much timothy. Stock raising, according to Spokane men who have studied the conditions there is destined to be practiced extensively on the lands to be thrown open to settlement. The Okanogan valley lies to the west of the Nespelem. The bottom land is volcanic ash, covered with sage brush and bunch grass. The bench lands on either side are a black loam soil. The land is classified as timber, grazing, agricultural and mineral. Too Many Wives: Kenneth Page, formerly of Fullerton, is being held at Keyes, Cal., on a charge of bigamy as a result of his carelessness in matrimony adventure. Page is possessed of two wives. On April 30th, 1915, he applied for a decree of divorce from his wife on the grounds of desertion. This decree was denied by the Orange county court. Shortly afterward Page moved north and in the course of time met and married Miss Goldie Garlock at Keyes. All went happily until wife No. 2 found out that there was a wife No. 1, and that she was still living. Page fled the country and his father-in-law No. 2 filed suit for the annulment of the second marriage, which was But what have we done for Mexico in the meantime? On March 14, 1912, President Taft placed an embargo on ammunition and guns going into Mexico from the United States. On February 3, 1914, this embargo was taken off by President Wilson. On April 21, 1914, at the time of the Vera Cruz occupation, Mr. Wilson restored the embargo, and on September 9, 1914, he changed his mind and again lifted it. On October 21, 1915, when the A. B. C. conference was in session, or soon thereafter, he again restored the embargo on ammunition and guns consigned to everyone in Mexico but Carranza and his followers. This was done to everyone in Mexico but Carranza and his followers. This was done to aid the irreconcilable Carranza against Wilson's old ally, Villa. During the fiscal year 1914, Mexico purchased of us $750,000 worth of cartridges, 5,560,000 pounds of dynamite, 129,000 pounds of gunpowder, $488,000 forth of firearms, and $69,000 worth of other explosives. During the fiscal year 1915, the Mexicans were supplied with $3,000,000 forth of American cartridges, 2,400,000 pounds of dynamite, 36,000 pounds of gunpowder, $1-280,000 worth of firearms, and $116-250 worth of other explosives. On April 11, at a time when the Mexican situation was most acute, 338,000 rounds of ammunition left Laredo, Texas, consigned to Carranza, and on April 14, a despatch from Douglas, Arizona stated: "The state department has issued a permit to the de facto government of Mexico to pass 1,000,000 rounds of small arm ammunition across the line of Agua Prieta, during the next few days. The ammunition is now en route to the border." These are two instances which were reported by the press, and there is no telling how many more escaped notice. In the matter of preparedness, the Schreiber just before departure. "There are just enough ex-regulars in the ranks to give the new men their cue and they are catching it rapidly. No, I would not willingly exchange my command for any other in the brigade. If they will give us a month's time in training camp we will be ready for active service anywhere and against any enemy. Southern California must not expect its men to perform miracles. Half of them are still soldiers in the rough, but she has a right to expect them to do their duty, and in that she need fear no disappointment. "I have already learned that the war department is watching expectantly the California brigade. The regular army officers have figured, and justly, that the California infantry will be especially valuable because the men are accustomed to country and climate similar to that along the border, because many of them understand the Mexicans, because the medical reports show that they are the peer physically of any brigade in the National Guard, and because they are just Californians." This was an unusually long speech for Col. Schrieber, who is habitually as silent as his infantrymen. Its movement, like his regiment, was in detachments; it was spoken where the enlisted men could not hear and it was his final greeting to Southern California before leaving with her regiment for the front. The Seventh Regiment was entrained in three section. It comprises fifty-six officers and 1036 men. The Fifth Regiment entrained also in three sections. It is commanded by Col. E. G. Hunt and consists of fifty-four officers and 1001 men. The worst torture of the encampment for the Seventh Infantry came late in the afternoon when they were compelled to remain in position for April 30th, 1915, he applied for a decree of divorce from his wife on the grounds of desertion. This decree was denied by the Orange county court. Shortly afterward Page moved north and in the course of time met and married Miss Goldie Garlock at Keyes. All went happily until wife No. 2 found out that there was a wife No. 1, and that she was still living. Page fled the country and his father-in-law No. 2 filed suit for the annulment of the second marriage, which was granted. He also secured the arrest of Page, who was located in Nevada and brought back to this state for trial on the bigamy charge. Mr. Garlock happens to be a friend of Mrs. Esmay, of Fullgron, whom he has asked to secure information there concerning Page's case which will be uesd against him. An attempt will also be made to secure information from Mrs. Page No. 1, who is in Kingman, Arizona. More Salt Lake Purchases: Two more deeds to parts of the supposed Salt Lake right of way through Santa Ana have been recorded. As in the case of the 21 deeds the property is transferred to Warren F. McGrath, a Los Angeles real estate man. One of the deeds was from Emma L. French for a strip two blocks long between First and Pine streets directly south of lots lying between First and Fourth streets, Santa Ana that were deeded to McGrath earlier in the week. Mrs. French also gives a deed to a lot on the north side of Chestnut avenue. Another deed is that from Mary C. Champlain to McGrath for part of four lots at the northwest corner of Brown and Poinsettia streets in that city. A marriage license has been issued to Handon Goodman of Placentia and Elinor R.

Each alleges that Luther gave a $5 check in payment for produce, and they say that each check was turned down at the La Habra Valley Four Accidents Sunday: Out of the hundreds of machines which passed through this county Sunday enroute to San Diego, four met with accidents before reaching Capistrano. Only the occupants of one car were injured. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Simons, 136 Avenue Twenty-four, South, and Mr. and Mrs. James Miller, 130 East Avenue Forty, Los Angeles, were severely injured when their Ford touring car turned turtle on the state highway about one mile south of Irvine station. They were taken to the Santa Ana hospital by the El Toro Blue Line jitney, driven by Clifford McCulloch. The accident happened about 8:30 in the morning. All of the injured were either unconscious or so dazed they could not tell how it was caused. It is presumed that Miller, who was driving the car, turned too far off the boulevard in passing a machine coming in the opposite direction, and the soft dirt caused the car to turn over. Assistance was rendered by occupants of cars on the road at the time. The injured parties were able to ride in the jitney without assistance. Wild rumors reached Santa Ana just after the accident, stating that five persons were killed. Coroner Winbigler was notified and told to bring his dead wagon. City Marshal Jernigan also received the same report. Dr. J. M. Burlew was called and he made a hurried drive to the scene, but found that the injured had been brought to Santa Ana. Coroner Winbigler answered the summons also. California has declared war on the English sparrow. Throughout the U.S., this bird has proved to be a pest and many Eastern cities have waged war against it for many years past. Here as elsewhere, the English sparrow is not only filthy in its habits and destructive to crops, but in addition drives out the native insectivorous and song birds.

County Clerk Williams has mailed 4200 notices to property owners in the two proposed protection districts, petitions for which have been set for hearing on July 19 at 1:30 o'clock. Mailing costs the county $500. One of these petitions is for what is known as the Fullerton-Orangethorpe district and the other is for the United district, comprising the Anaheim and Garden Grove sections. When a petition for a protection district is presented to the Board of Supervisors, the law requires that the matter be set for hearing and that notice of the hearing be sent by registered letter to every property owner in the proposed district. That requirement of the state law sends the mailing cost into the hundreds of dollars. The requirement is not one fixed by county officials.
