WIND AND WATER MAKE SOLDIERS HOMESICK HOWARD GATES WRITES OF THE DISCOMFORTS OF CAMP LIFE AT NOGALES BAND WEARING ITSELF OUT PLAYING "I LOVE YOU, CALIFORNIA" Nogales, Ariz., July 29, 1916 Editor, Gazette:—Last Wednesday evening we had a very interesting time that we were not looking for. We had our usual shower in the afternoon and thought that was all that was coming to us. Just after we had washed our mess wits and given the customary growl about the supper, a great gust of wind came with a loud clap of thunder. Our tents heaved and strained at the ropes, the rain came down in sheets, and a great many of our hospital tent pegs came out. Then we had to get out and save our tentage by repegging to the accompaniment of terrific thunder and lightning. We did it and did not lose a tent though whole rows of pegs went out at a jerk. A great many of the tents and especially the cook tents belonging to the companies were flat. The creek running through camp was dry at the beginning. In three quarters of an hour it was within two feet of the top and the channel is ten sion on or before August 5, 1916. August 26, Inspector, Motor Vehicle department. The entrance salary ranges from $150 to $200 a month. Candidates must be familiar with the motor vehicle act, be experienced in the operation of automobiles of various makes, and have had experience in investigating and detecting violations of laws and ordinances. Candidates will be given a written examination and a practical test. August 26, Deputy Clerk of the District court of appeal. The position pays $2000 a year. Candidates must be familiar with the duties of the office and with procedure at law so far as it affects the office of the clerk. Candidates for any of the above examinations must be American citizens residing in California and must be between the ages of 21 and 60 on the dates announced for the respective examinations. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the state civil service commission, Forum building, Sacramento. Completed applications must be filed at least seven days prior to the date of the examination, except as provided above. POLITICAL NOTES Senator LaFollette, in the course of the debate on the naval bill, assailed the measure as one of extravagant and unreasonable surrender to an organized propaganda promoted by the manufacturers of munitions. In this we disagree with the senator. But when he said, discussing the manner in which the money will be raised to pay for the increase in the national defense, that "this democratic administration has given no good reason for doubling the taxes of the country," we are in hearty accord with him. If the for military service ed that 400,000 of He opposed inc then he demanded the world.

BIG BARGAINS THE Then we had to get out and save our tentage by repegging to the accompaniment of terrific thunder and lightning. We did it and did not lose a tent though whole rows of pegs went out at a jerk. A great many of the tents and especially the cook tents belonging to the companies were flat. The creek running through camp was dry at the beginning. In three quarters of an hour it was within two feet of the top and the channel is ten feet deep. There was not a man in camp who would have dared to swim it. One man was struck by lightning but not seriously hurt though his poncho was torn clear off of him. Several others were shocked from touching the wet canvas. The hospital of the Fifth California Infantry across the creek and a little lower down was first blown down and then flooded by overflow from the creek. After the creek began to subside our band got out in the sprinkle and played "I Love You California" to the accompaniment of more cheers and yells than I ever heard the "Silent Seventh" give. They followed this by "There Will be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" with a good many more cheers. You can't down this bunch. We are seeing the effects of the unpreparedness policy of this country down here. We are all supposed to have two new uniforms issued to us and now after a month hardly anyone has more than one uniform. Only part of the ordinance equipment has been issued and no horses, to any of the militia troops. Although some of the "Rookies" have been kicking about the food, there is plenty of it and it is cooked very well considering that many of the cooks are not accustomed to field equipment. One thing that is curious is that many of the Mexican soldiers are coming over to this side and earning a dollar and a half a day of Uncle Sam's good money in unloading cars of supplies for our troops. A great many of the men have been suffering from dysentery, which it is said every newcomer gets for a short time soon after he arrives. Otherwise the health of the camp is very good. The men who were physically disqualified have been discharged and sent back the past week. A good many men are needed to take their places. All indications still point to going over the line some day. In a letter to a progressive editor in Pennsylvania the president declares his desire to have the support of progressives and adds that he has always tried to deserve it. He neglects, however, to file a bill of particulars. It will be readily admitted that, whenever the law has looked to the appointment of a republican to office, the president has almost invariably named a progressive for the place—but this is not because he has loved progressives, but because he has disliked republicans. Aside from this it is difficult to remember where the president has shown any considerable regard for progressives, either personally or as concerns the principles which they have espoused. "The sovereignty of thoughtfulness" is the president's latest contribution to mouth-filling phrases which do not satisfy. We do not pretend to know what he means by it. We doubt if he could himself reduce it to words of one syllable. But we can foresee where the thoughtfulness of the voters of this country is to assert its sovereignty on election day. Col. William H. Phelps of Missouri says there were 1,600 progressives in his county in 1912, "and" he adds, plaintively, "I find that the progressives who are going to vote the democratic ticket this fall were democrats in the first place."

GATES, Interesting facts and figures are disclosed in the compilation of statistics of exports of motor cars during May last and the 11 months ending May, 1916, with comparative figures for the corresponding periods of last year. The statistics were prepared by the department of commerce and show, among other things, that during May last 1,717 commercial cars, valued at $4,357,238; 6,275 passenger cars, valued at $4,069,690; and parts, not including engines and tires, were exported to various countries. During the 11 months ended May last the exports were as follows: Commercial cars, 19,849, valued at $53,254,400; passenger cars, 51,326, valued at $38,340,066; parts, not including engines and tires, $20,649,739. AUGUST CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS The California state civil service commission announces the following examinations for the month of August. Vegetable Gardener, Head and Assistant, positions as head vegetable gardener pays $60 a month and board; those as assistant from $35 to $45 a month and board. Candidates must be experienced in the raising of vegetables in California. Applications must be filed with the civil service commis- what he means by it. We doubt if he could himself reduce it to words of one syllable. But we can foresee where the thoughtfulness of the voters of this country is to assert its sovereignty on election day. Col. William H. Phelps of Missouri says there were 1,600 progressives in his county in 1912, "and" he adds, plaintively, "I find that the progressives who are going to vote the democratic ticket this fall were democrats in the first place." On February 11, 1915, the American steamship Wilhelmina was seized by the British and put into prize court. The vessel was subsequently released and now—after seventeen months—a British judge has ordered that the owners of the cargo be reimbursed for their property. We suppose this will be hailed in some quarters as another "great diplomatic victory." Hughes, Harmony and Home Defense is another slogan of the republicans this year. It has been decided that Carranza must do as we want him to unless he makes up his mind not to. Mr. Hughes stands not only for "undiluted Americanism," but also for industrial America first, in the way of protection from foreign competition. WILSON FLUCTUATIONS Writing to the Indianapolis Star, L.W. Merriss, a former progressive, gives a number of reasons why Americans should vote for Hughes and Fairbanks. The reasons all illustrate the proposition that President Wilson has not made good. In a series of staccato sentences, Mr. Merriss recounts as follows some of the president's fluctuations: He favored the Garrison continental plan; he fired Garrison and jumped that. He opposed young men being trained ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916 for military service; then he demanded that 400,000 of them be trained. He opposed increasing the navy; then he demanded the largest navy in the world. He opposed intervention in Mexico, and then sent an army to intervene. He demanded that all the Mexican claimants get together and establish a facto government and threatened non-recognition of any one who refused. Then he recognized Carranza, the only one who did not and would not join the conference. He favored free Panama tolls; then he forced the democratic majority to repeal the free tolls law. He opposed preparedness last year and favors it this year. The assertion that the president has kept the country out of war with Europe provokes the Star's correspondent to terse comment: This country has never been in danger with any European nation. Hungry men don't shoot the cook—at least before breakfast—and European nations realized that a break with this country, meant an embargo on foodstuffs; and that, above everything else on earth, they could not have sustained while at war at home. Can anyone assert that there is a word in all the above that is untrue? The floundering in Mexico has been a serious business, and before the end is reached it may become more so. At this stage who is there that can see the end?

WICKERSHEIM IMPLEMENT CO. Fullerton, Calif. JAPS FIGHTING FOR ORIENTAL COMMERCE Seaman's Act Assisted Them in Getting Control of Shipping "The Japanese are fighting for absolute commercial control of the Orient," declared Rev. J. L. McLaughlin, pioneer missionary in the Philippines and principal representative in the Philippines of the American Bible Society. According to Rev. McLaughlin, the Japanese have secured a grip on the commercial life of the Philippines. "The European war and the seaman's act together have put the transportation facilities into the hands of the Japanese," said he, "and they have taken advantage of the situation to raise the freight rates from San Francisco to Manila from $13 a ton to $90. Japanese shippers have first choice of space in the boats. If there is room left, American good will be taken. A few weeks ago when I was in Seattle there were 100,000 tons of American freight on the wharves awaiting shipment to the Orient. A friend writes to me that conditions are even worse now." "The Japanese have a Monroe doctrine for the Orient, and they are working it. There is no question in my mind but that they do not want the Americans to gain any foothold there commercially." Rev. McLaughlin said that many Americans who were in government service and who have been let out of their jobs through the operation of the new plan of Philippinizing the islands Romelo Ramerez who was charged with child stealing, received a ten year sentence to San Quentin in superior court Thursday. He was charged with stealing Bernarda Cruz, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Thomas Cruz of this city. He and the girl were found at Colton after they had been missing from Anaheim for almost a month. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. THE VERDICT ON THE HUDSON SUPER SIX THE VERDICT ON THE HUDSON SUPER-SIX The Hudson Super-Six at this writing—June 30th—has been on the market six months. Over 10,000 of the cars are now running. The resultant demand exceeds anything known among high grade cars. All advertising on the Super-Six has been stopped for months, because of the over-demand. For months the Hudson factory has run in three shifts, twenty-four hours per day. New factory additions have been steadily building. Scores of big machines to equip them have been brought in by express. The company is now equipped to turn out 4,000 cars per month. Preparations were made in advance for a doubled demand, but the call for the Hudson has quadrupled. And every day increases it as new cars go into service. Still the demand for the Super-Six is only beginning. It will be a year before men in general realize its supremacy. That always has been true and ever will be true, of every great advance. But the man who reads this and who buys a fine car, would do himself a vast injustice if he failed to get the Super-Six. A lesser car will mean years of regret. It will mean a car which is far out-classed in performance and endurance. It will mean less pride of ownership. We urge you, for your own sake, to consider these things and to prove them.

The republican tariff plank begins: The Underwood tariff act is a complete failure in every respect. Under its administration imports have enormously increased in spite of the fact that intercourse with foreign countries has been largely cut off by reason of war, while revenues of which we stand in such dire need have been greatly reduced." The democratic plank reads: "We reaffirm our belief in the doctrine of a tariff for the purpose of providing sufficient revenue for the operation of the government economically administered, and unreservedly endorse the Underwood tariff law as exemplifying that doctrine." Since the Underwood tariff law went into effect the Wilson administration has had to piece out its revenues with an income tax, with the socalled war tax, and now it is pushing another revenue bill that increases the tax on incomes, taxes on inheritances already taxed by states and adds a tax on mu-nitions. It is going to take a lot of explaining to convince the voters of the country that the Underwood tariff exemplifies the doctrine of a tariff for the purpose of providing sufficient revenue.

Cooper of Los Nietos and drove to Santa Ana where the couple were married. After the ceremony they left for San Diego where the honeymoon will be spent.
