STATE DEFENSE COUNCIL ASKS FOR GUARD PROTECTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AND CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES RECOMMENDED AUXILIARY RELIEF COMMITTEE OF LADIES APPOINTED BY GOV. STEPHENS Recommendations of a far reaching effect, looking toward the protection of the state and the conservation of the state's resources were adopted by the California Council of Defense at a meeting held at Sacramento Wednesday, and were submitted to Gov. William D. Stephens. All of the 33 members of the council except Col. Frank W. Coe, were present at the meeting and great importance is attached to the deliberations and recommendations by the council. Among the specific recommendations made was one calling for a state defense guard, to take the place of the California national guard, which is now a part of the federal forces. In the event that the national guard should be called from beyond the borders of the state, California would be without a local protective force and the proposed defense guard is to be organized to meet the emergency growing out of this phase of the war. The size of the proposed organization is left largely to the discretion of the governor, but is not to exceed 1000 men. The governor, however, may re-ing persons in their representative capacity as auxiliary members of the relief committee of the state council of defense: Mrs. Mary Roberts Coolidge, Berkeley; Civic League of California.

To other women, one representing the Catholic Ladies Aid society, and the other the Hebrew Ladies Relief association are yet to be named. TAKE PRECAUTIONS Here is one way the California farmer can help win the war: Don't let hogs died from the preventable disease of hog cholera. Seventy million dollars a year is needlessly wasted in the United States through hog cholera. This means that a billion pounds of hog meat is needlessly wasted ever year by hog cholera. Dressed, these pigs would have yielded eight hundred million pounds of dressed pork and lard, or enough to give forty pounds of good food to every family in the United States. Hog cholera is preventable. The University of California urges that everyone who knows of a sick hog should instantly advise the county farm adviser, the county livestock in-ing Friday evening. Walker recited a poem which was part of his generously written dress on the work which was full of gave the members and important social had pledged them said: The American was not organized sick and wounded suppose, though that ant part of its world. In peaceful years consist in rendering great disasters with conditions find it the requirements. appreciate the necorganization when that at the time of disaster much suffers for the reason thatizations on the Pat few members that to send for a train supplies across the After their arrival, lar army, that had litary affairs, and ethe panic stricken out of chaos and in California national guard, which is now a part of the federal forces. In the event that the national guard should be called from beyond the borders of the state, California would be without a local protective force and the proposed defense guard is to be organized to meet the emergency growing out of this phase of the war. The size of the proposed organization is left largely to the discretion of the governor, but is not to exceed 1000 men. The governor, however, may reduce the size of the guard to whatever strength he may consider necessary to deal with the exigencies which may arise out of present war conditions. Apropos the proposed state defense guard and its purposes, the council of defense gave out the following statement: "The defense guard will be used in the repression of enemy plots and for border defense. It is specifically provided that it shall not be used in industrial disputes or strikes. The creation of such a body of men is discretionary with the governor and is intended to vest him with authority to safeguard the state in the event the national guard should be withdrawn to some point outside our border. The proposed act gives Gov. Stephens authority to create either one company, with a minimum strength of 25 men, or as many as ten companies with a maximum of 100 men, or 100 men to each company. Should he consider it unnecessary, no such force shall be organized. "The proposed act provides that only men between 30 and 50 years of age shall be members of the state defense guard, thereby preventing any conflict with enlistments in the national guard or regular army. It also is intended that the age limit shall work to secure as members of this body, only men of mature judgment and poise." Another recommendation proposes to vest in the governor authority to suspend any county sheriffs or constables who refuse to execute the laws during the period of the war. The law is intended only as a measure to be used as a last resort in removing such officers as might be lukewarm in their patriotism or who might do or permit things to be done which were prejudicial to the public safety. It was the opinion of the council of defense that the aid for dependents provision in pending federal legislation, viz., that of $15 for dependent mothers and wives of soldiers, is alto through hog cholera. This means that a billion pounds of hog meat is needlessly wasted ever year by hog cholera. Dressed, these pigs would have yielded eight hundred million pounds of dressed pork and lard, or enough to give forty pounds of good food to every family in the United States. Hog cholera is preventable. The University of California urges that everyone who knows of a sick hog should instantly advise the county farm adviser, the county livestock inspector, or the state veterinarian at Sacramento, for nine times out ten when swine die from disease it is from hog cholera. At the university farm picnic at Davis on Saturday, April 28, demonstrations will be given as to how swine may be immunized against hog cholera and how an outbreak of the disease may be suppressed. Those who cannot go to the farm picnic can obtain all the latest information on hog cholera prevention by writing to the college of agriculture at Berkeley, where the United States bureau of animal industry has stationed a veterinarian to aid the division of veterinary science in special educational hog cholera work. Every hog raiser should supply himself with the U. S. Farmer's Bulletins No. 379 on Hog Sholera, No. 590 on The Use of Anti Hog Cholera Serum, and No. 559 on Pasture and Grain Crops for Hogs in the Pacific Northwest," all obtainable by writing to the Secretary of Agriculture, division of publications, Washington,' D. C., and should obtain also two circulars published by the University of California, No. 132 on when to vaccinate against hog cholera, and No. 151 on the feeding and management of hogs, which can be obtained free by writing to the Agricultural Experiment station at Berkeley. BACK-TO-THE-FARM SANITY It is more than likely that the present high cost of foodstuffs will have one decided benefit. For many years there has been a drift of population to the cities, and were this to continue in uninterrupted sequence the desire to live in the towns would result in adding further to the burdens of the salaried man whose wages, in the main, are small and who is forced, when sickness comes, to depend on charity for himself and family. Not that there are no poor people in the country districts. Unfortunately, there are many such. But any man in this Society though aggregate be sufficient services for hospital supplies cities throughout the Red Cross soldiers er the wounded in nation or that of to our church or no distinction regality, religion or object being to relieve helpless. In many localities are being formed stables who refuse to execute the laws during the period of the war. The law is intended only as a measure to be used as a last resort in removing such officers as might be lukewarm in their patriotism or who might do or permit things to be done which were prejudicial to the public safety. It was the opinion of the council of defense that the aid for dependents provision in pending federal legislation, viz., that of $15 for dependent mothers and wives of soldiers, is altogether inadequate for their support and protection and upon the recommendation of Dr. John R. Haynes, chairman of the relief committee a resolution was adopted urging congress to increase this amount to $30 a month and to provide $10 a month additional for each dependent child. Chas. H. Bentley, chairman of the committee on manufactures, presented a report giving valuable information on the manufactures of the state. He recommended that California's representatives in Congress be urged to seek legislation limiting the export of tin plate. California is facing a shortage of tin plate, which is badly needed for the canning of food stuffs, not alone by the canneries but by the housewives throughout the state. The council also recommended that the governor appoint some representative to confer in Washington, D. C., with Secretary Lane in regard to various matters which the state must take up in connection with the federal government, including the question of whether any steps are necessary to safeguard irrigation works in the Imperial valley. Following the recommendation of the council Gov. Stephens appointed Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the state university and a member of the council, who will proceed to Washington at once. Gov. Stephens appointed the follow- Anaheim Gazette PATRIOTS FORM A RED GROSS CHAPTER Continued from page 1 ing Friday evening, and Miss Veda Walker recited a poem, "Home Again," which was particularly appropriate, and was generously applauded. Mr. West made a comprehensive address on the work of the Red Cross which was full of information, and gave the members an idea of the great and important society to which they had pledged themselves. In part he said: The American Red Cross Society was not organized exclusively to aid sick and wounded soldiers as many suppose, though that is a most important part of its work in time of war. In peaceful years its ministrations consist in rendering aid in time of great disasters wherever the local conditions find it impossible to meet the requirements. Californians should appreciate the necessities of this organization when they recall the fact that at the time of the San Francisco disaster much suffering was endured for the reason that Red Cross organizations on the Pacific coast had so few members that it was necessary to send for a train load of nurses and supplies across the Rocky Mountains. After their arrival, they like the regular army, that had taken charge of military affairs, and established order in the panic stricken city, brought order out of chaos and in rendering first aid to the helpless under their direction to hospital service under Red Cross direction. Those who contemplate a career of professional nursing will in these classes have an opportunity to learn whether they are adapted to this class of service and without great expense. In the event of a prolonged war many of the experienced graduate nurses from local hospitals may volunteer for service in Red Cross work in military hospitals as these will require but little additional training to become experts in this kind of work. There might come a time when those who can afford the expense of service at our modern hospitals may find such service difficult to obtain. Such conditions make it incumbent on the rich as well as the poor to gain the information obtainable at present in these classes and be ready to render needed assistance whenever emergencies arise. In many homes where a member of the family may not find it convenient to pay the necessary fees in these classes a fund should be raised by commercial clubs or similar organizations to loan or donate these class fees to proper people. Some of these students will prefer rendering service equivalent to the class fees to the families of the men who furnish the money in time of sickness or accident. Some of them may become professional nurses and prefer to return the fees in cash. Each locality should form a business association to handle these local matters in the manner they find best adapted to the local conditions. There are some definite requirements to follow by those who conduct any organization under the name of the American Red Cross Society which can be obtained by the officials of any chapter of the organizations. Red Cross pins or emblems of the society are not permissible to others than members of the organizations. While not a secret organization its emblems as a most industrious, frugal and peace loving people. Many of them have stated as one reason for adopting this country for their homes that they disliked the excessive military taxes in Germany and the necessity of serving so long in military training in their native land. Though lovers of peace they have never failed in loyalty or service in any hour of trial when an emergency arose in this, their adopted land. Many of us have more or less German blood in our bodies and we have never had occasion to regret this strain of blood nor have we ever hesitated to acknowledge this fact with pride. While certain events of the last two years have compelled our patient and patriotic president to declare a state of war existing between this country and the Gorman government, he made it quite clear in his famous message to the world that we have no hate in our hearts for the people of Germany. The citizens of no other great nation have been called upon for so little contribution in money or service in military preparations as those of the United States so when the call for military service is made we shall doubtless see those with German blood render grateful service to the land of their adoption as they have always done in past years, and as did most of our immigrants from England during the years of the revolution against British rule until that victory was achieved by the surrender of Yorktown. It has always been the pride of the American people that the immigrants from every land who have come to these shores have proven loyal to their adopted country. Those who are familiar with English history from the time of our Declaration of Independence to the present date recognize the fact that the masses of the people of England have for many years enjoyed far greater liberty than would have been possible that at the time of the San Francisco disaster much suffering was endured for the reason that Red Cross organizations on the Pacific coast had so few members that it was necessary to send for a train load of nurses and supplies across the Rocky Mountains. After their arrival, they like the regular army, that had taken charge of military affairs, and established order in the panic stricken city, brought order out of chaos and in rendering first aid to the helpless under their direction nearly $3,000,000 was expended to relieve the needy. These needy ones did not consist wholly of those accustomed to poverty either. Rich and poor suffered alike during the first weeks after that calamity. For checks on a bank are of little avail when it is impossible to reach the vaults. Even cash itself is of little avail when no food can be obtained. Similar conditions were found when the Red Cross directors and nurses were called to Galveston, Dayton and other flooded districts and after the tornados at Omaha and other localities which have suffered similar calamities. Let it be distinctly understood then that in the event that peace should be declared throughout the world tomorrow and war should be no more on this planet the American Red Cross Society should be maintained, and its membership on the Pacific coast should be increased many times its present enlistment in order to meet possible requirement here and to be ready on demand to reciprocate the favors extended to the residents of our sister city whenever and wherever the call shall be made. Again membership in this Society does not make it obligatory for such members to render any service in military hospitals or elsewhere. Your contributions toward this membership in this Society though small will in the aggregate be sufficient to render invaluable services for nurses, food and hospital supplies in great emergencies throughout the entire world. The Red Cross soldiers do not ask whether the wounded in battle belong to our nation or that of the enemy, whether to our church or another. They make no distinction regarding nationality, religion or class, the whole object being to relieve suffering of the helpless. In many localities training classes are being formed where instructions business association to handle these local matters in the manner they find best adapted to the local conditions. There are some definite requirements to follow by those who conduct any organization under the name of the American Red Cross Society which can be obtained by the officials of any chapter of the organizations. Red Cross pins or emblems of the society are not permissible to others than members of the organizations. While not a secret organization its emblems are considered in a similar manner as those of the fraternal organizations. Donations for Red Cross work should only be made to those who are known to be authorized to receive them and great care as to issuing receipts and keeping strict account of every dollar so expended is demanded as these books will be audited by the military department of the United States government. It is well to boast of our ancestors who rendered such heroic service at Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga and scores of other places on the way to Yorktown, but it is better to render the service required in our day and show to the world that we are worth those heroic services in the name of liberty. This is our day. More than 25 years have elapsed since my first visit to the place then designated as the "Colony of Anaheim," if I remember correctly. I rejoice with you in the great development and prosperity indicated by your homes of beauty and comfort and your substantial public buildings and modern improvements of every kind. I believe your first settlement was composed exclusively of immigrants from Germany. Most of us know something of pioneer experiences in the western half of the United States. While we are enjoying the many comforts of the present day, it is well for us to recall the privations endured by those who blazed the trails in our own land. Most of us have more or less interest in the progress of our native states or in the land of our fathers, who came to these shores from a foreign country. In California as elsewhere throughout this Republic many came as immigrants from Europe that they might enjoy greater liberty and prosperity than was possible in their native country. Here the immigrants were from Germany in which nation millions of our most desirable citizens were born. As a class they have been recognized by the surrender of Yorktown. It has always been the pride of the American people that the immigrants from every land who have come to these shores have proven loyal to their adopted country. Those who are familiar with English history from the time of our Declaration of Independence to the present date recognize the fact that the masses of the people of England have for many years enjoyed far greater liberty than would have been possible but for the beacon lights upheld in this land by the children of the mother country. Despite its monarchal form of government the people of England now enjoy more democracy in some respects than the people of the United States. It is our belief and our hope that while we are now at war with the German government that the great mass of the people in Germany will later find that we have rendered them an untold service. That when peace shall be restored in Europe that no military autocracy in any great nation will ever again be elab toledESHRDLU ever again be able to dictate the governmental policy of that nation. We only bespeak for the German people and others the same liberty as we ourselves enjoy. That trout fishing in this section will be unusually good is the opinion of local sportsmen who, during the past two weeks, have been looking over the ground. The streams they say are well supplied with fish, though they do not run very large in size. Trabuco, Silverado, Black Star and Modjeska canyon streams all abound with trout. The outlook is very good. FOR SALE—Oregon Pine Stakes, 1x 1x4, sharpened, $1.00 per hundred. Joe Carroll, West Anaheim, Phone 41-W. A high school military company has been formed at Fullerton.

The Red Cross soldiers do not ask whether the wounded in battle belong to our nation or that of the enemy, whether to our church or another. They make no distinction regarding the nationality, religion or class, the whole object being to relieve suffering of the helpless. In many localities training classes are being formed where instructions are given in first aid, home nursing and dietetics. The knowledge obtained in these classes may enable those who obtain it to save the life of a loved one in time of peace. Though in these days of telephones and automobiles the doctor frequently learns on arrival at the bedside of a patient that amputation of a limb or possibly the loss of a life might have been found unnecessary had the instructions in this class been administered at an earlier hour before the doctor arrived. In the First Aid course the lectures, ten in number, are usually given by the local physician in classes of ten or more, the total expense being $5.00 including text book, for each member of the class. The Home Nursing course consists of 15 lessons by a Red Cross graduate at a cost of $6.00 to each member of the class, including the text book. The Course in Dietetics (preparation of food for the sick) requires 15 lessons at a cost of $7.00 and is for those who wish to volunteer for service other than nursing. Only those who have taken two or more of these courses and obtain their certificates would be accepted as nurses aids should they desire to volunteer and it would also be necessary for such applicants to pass a medical examination themselves before admit- in the land of our fathers, who came to these shores from a foreign country.
