CLASS ONE WILL PROVIDE THE FIGHTERS MARRIED MEN, OR THOSE WITH DEPENDENTS, WILL BE EXEMPTED FROM NEXT ARMY ALL WHO HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF 21 SINCE JUNE 5 MUST REGISTER All men for the war armies still to be raised by the United States will come from class one under the new selective service plan. That means the nation's fighting is to be done by young men without families dependent upon their labor for support and unskilled in necessary industrial or agricultural work. Provost Marshal General Crowder announced the new policy in a report on the operation of the selective draft law submitted to Secretary of War Baker and sent to congress. He says class one should provide men for all military needs of the country and to accomplish that object he urges amendment of the draft law so as to provide that all men who have reached their 21st birthday since June 5, 1917, shall be required to register for classification. Also, in the interest of fair distribution of the militia within draft age evaded registration. A rough figure of 8.2 per cent is given as the number of registrants who failed to appear when called by their local boards for examination, but Gen. Crowder hastens to explain that most of these men already are in Europe in the American, British and French armies. They did not await the draft processes in their eagerness to get into action. "The final data will undoubtedly show," Gen. Crowder adds, "that the number of those who willfully failed to appear for examination when called is insignificant." Of the total registration of 9,586,508, the number called and examined was 3,082,949 and of these 1,057,363 were certified by the boards for military service. Since the first call was for only 687,000 men, there now remain 370,363 men awaiting summons to the mobilization camps. Of all men examined, 730,756, or 23.7 per cent, were rejected for physical reasons. That, it is pointed out, shows an encouraging improvement in the physical condition of the young men of the nation since Civil war days, for at that time the draft authorities rejected 32 per cent of all men called on physical grounds. About one half of all men called, or 1,560,570 claimed exemption. The claims of 78 per cent of these were grafted, showing, in the opinion of officials, that few fraudulent claims were filed. Of those exempted, 74 per cent were released because of dependent relatives; 20 per cent because they claimed alien birth and nationality, and only 6 per cent on vocation grounds. Less than 1 per cent of the exemptions were granted to religious objectives or to those morally unfit.

R. tr announced the new policy in a report on the operation of the selective draft law submitted to Secretary of War Baker and sent to congress. He says class one should provide men for all military needs of the country and to accomplish that object he urges amendment of the draft law so as to provide that all men who have reached their 21st birthday since June 5, 1917, shall be required to register for classification. Also, in the interest of fair distribution of the military burden, he proposes that the quotas of states or districts be determined hereafter on the basis of the number of men in class one and not upon the population. Available figures indicate the report says, that there are 1,000,000 qualified men under the present registration who will be found in class one when all the questionnaires have been returned and the classification period ends February 15. To this the extension of registration to men turning 21 since June 5 of last year and thereafter will add 700,000 men a year. Class one comprises: Single men without dependent relatives, married men who have habitually failed to support their families, who are dependent upon wives for support or not usefully engaged, and whose families are supported by income independent of their labor; unskilled farm laborers, unskilled industrial laborers, registrants by or in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made, registrants who fail to submit a questionnaire, and in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made, and all registrants not included in any other division of the schedule. The plan places upon unattached single men and married men with independent incomes most of the weight of military duty, for the number of men in the other divisions of class one is small. Gen. Crowder finds that the first draft surpassed the highest expectations and pays high tribute to the thousands of civilians whose service made the plan a success. "At the president's call," he says, "all ranks of the nation, reluctantly entering the war, nevertheless instantly responded to the first call of the nation with a vigorous and unselfish cooperation that submerged all individual interest in a single endeavor toward the consummation of the national task. I take it that no great national project was ever attained." About one half of all men called, or 1,560,570 claimed exemption. The claims of 78 per cent of these were granted, showing, in the opinion of officials, that few fraudulent claims were filed. Of those exempted, 74 per cent were released because of dependent relatives; 20 per cent because they claimed alien birth and nationality, and only 6 per cent on vocation grounds. Less than 1 per cent of the exemptions were granted to religious objectors or to those morally unfit. The figures are 3887 exempted because of claims on ground of religious belief, their exemption extending only to release from participating in actual combat, and 2001 rejected for moral unfitness. The majority of the latter were convicts now in prison. The total cost of the first draft, exclusive of the cost of the Provost Marshal General's office at Washington, was $5,211,965. This amount has been refunded to the states by the Federal government. It represents an average cost of $4.93 per man accepted for military service, and with the Provost Marshal General's expenses included, $5 per man, against a cost of $24.48 per voluntary recruit in 1914; $19.14 in 1915 and $28.95 in the first nine months of 1917. Prior to the draft act during the Civil war, the cost per man was about $34 and after the draft was enforced about $9.84. In discussing the future of the draft Gen. Crowder says the first duty is to provide an adequate army. Economic considerations must be regarded in selecting the men, he says, but not at the expense of an efficient fighting force. Viewed beside the efforts Germany and Austria have put forth to place man power in the field, he adds, it little becomes us to emphasize above a whisper as a substantial national problem anything we have yet been called upon to do. Tables accompanying the report show many striking results of the draft. Taking the total of 1,243,801 aliens registered, it is shown that of 457,713 called for examination 76,545 were certified for military service, having voluntarily waived their right to exemption as allens and in effect volunteered for the battle for democracy. Even of the 381,168 exempted, 40 per cent went out on other grounds than their alien status. There was evident some variations of practice among the states on the question of exempting married men. A total of 163,115 married men have been certified for service. In Mississippi the boards hold 38 per cent of all men called on physical grounds. About one half of all men called, or 1,560,570 claimed exemption. The claims of 78 per cent of these were grafted, showing, in the opinion of officials, that few fraudulent claims were filed.

I take it that no great national project was ever attempted with so complete a reliance upon the voluntary cooperation of citizens for its execution. Certainly no such burdensome and sacrificial statute had ever been executed without a great hierarchy of officials. This law has been administered by civilians whose official relations lie only in necessary powers with which they are vested by the president's designation of them to perform the duties that are laid upon them. They have accomplished the task. They have made some mistakes. The system offers room for improvement. But the great thing they were called upon to do they have done. The vaunted efficiency of absolutism of which the German empire stands as the avatar can offer nothing to compare with it. It remains the ultimate test and proof of the intrinsic political idea upon which American institutions of democracy and self government have been based." Analyzing the first draft, General Crowder shows that 9,586,508 men between the ages of 21 and 31 years registered. Up to late in December, only 5870 arrests had been made of those who sought to evade registration and of that number 2263 were released after having registered, and there remains only 2095 cases to be prosecuted. The report says that in the final analysis of the records it will be shown that only .00026 per cent of the were certified for military service, having voluntarily waived their right to exemption as allens and in effect volunteered for the battle for democracy. Even of the 381,168 exempted, 40 per cent went out on other grounds than their alien status. There was evident some variations of practice among the states on the question of exempting married men. A total of 163,115 married men have been certified for service. In Mississippi the boards held 38 per cent of all married men called for service, in Wisconsin and North Dakota only 8 per cent were held. It is expected efforts will be made to unify the practice of boards more closely in this regard. Montana led among the states in the number of men called who filed no claim for exemption. Figures for that state show that 80 per cent of men called up were ready to go to the front. Kentucky had the greatest number of exemption claims, 52 per cent of all men called filing affidavits. The average number of claims was 46 per cent. NEW MANAGER Otto L. Little has become resident manager of the amusement department at Seal Beach, succeeding Bert St. John, who is out with the Klaw & Erlanger "Pollyanna" company. Announcement of Mr. Little's promotion was made by Frank Burt, the general manager. Since the inauguration of the amusement department at Seal Beach Mr. Little has been the superintendent of concessions and he has earned his promotion by efficient and faithful service. He will have charge of planning and giving special events for the entertainment of those who come to Seal Beach and his previous experience in this line especially fits him for the position.

For no direct statement is to be found on the subject: Manifestly, whatever his own opinion may be, President Wilson considers this no time for the agitation of the question, and its somewhat unreasoning supporters might take a tip from his refusal to discuss it. If there is a hint of the executive's notion on the subject, it seems to us to distinctly discourage the idea of government ownership: He points out explicitly that it is an emergency move, and not only indicates that it is for the present, but certainly hints at the ultimate return of the properties to their owners in the future when the emergency is passed. While the present authority of the executive suffices for all purposes of administration and while, of course, all private interests must for the present give way to the public necessity, it is, I assure you will agree with me, right and necessary that the owners and creditors of the railways, and the holders of their stocks and bonds should receive from the government an unqualified guarantee that their properties will be maintained throughout the period of federal control in as good repair and as complete equipment as at present and that the several roads will receive under federal management such compensation as is equitable and just alike to their owners and to the general public. The emphasis is ours—not the president's, but it seems to us to indicate that he, by his wording, looks forward to the time when the railroads will Report of the Treasurer and Superintendent were each in turn received and filed.

Mr. Jones of Yorba Linda requested that he be allowed to place a drain under the fill on Lot 9, block 22, Yorba Linda. On motion duly seconded this was referred to the superintendent for investigation. A petition was received from the property owners-on No. Garden Grove road agreeing to pay part of the cost of replacing the present open ditch with a pipe line. On motion duly seconded this was referred to the ditch committee with power to act. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to get prices on a 500 pound pile driver and equipment.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE ROADS It may be that interest in President Wilson's message was not such as to crowd the galleries at Washington, but it can be doubted if any of his messages have been waited with greater interest in the country, says the San Bernardino Sun. For the people have been anxious to know, first of all, his own reasons for the radical step which places all the railroads of the land under government control, and second, whether it is a step in the direction of government ownership. The one succinct and all-comprehensive reason for the action was put by the president in a very few words. The following letter has been sent out by the Federal Fuel Administration: Speed up the transportation and unloading of freight cars suitable for coal carrying. Put a war punch into car movements Personal effort with railroads, shippers and consignees is urged that they may exert extraordinary efforts for the quick handling and unloading of cars It is designed to make it unpopular for any one to delay car movement Consignees are asked to get their cars unloaded even if they have to work night, Sundays and holidays; anything to empty and move coal cars promptly. We must help out the eastern seabird throughout the period of federal control in as good repair and as complete equipment as at present and that the several roads will receive under federal management such compensation as is equitable and just alike to their owners and to the general public. The emphasis is ours—not the president's, but it seems to us to indicate that he, by his wording, looks forward to the time when the railroads will be returned to their owners, and the government be done with managing them. Following this, Mr.Wilson suggests that the average earnings for the three year period ending June 30, 1917, is a fair measure of what income should be returned to the owners of railroad stocks, and the holders of them will hardly object to this, for at least two of those years were the most prosperous in many, so much so that the roads have not been able to handle the business, and because of their inability to do so government operation is reckoned a necessity. Champions of outright government ownership will have to use magnifying glasses of considerable power to find much comfort in the message, and the Hearst journals are compelled to resort to the statement that there is a growing "feeling" in the halls of congress that federal control is but the first step toward permanent government operation and ownership May be, but this might be an instance of where the wish is father to the thought.

Following this, Mr.Wilson suggests that the average earnings for the three year period ending June 30, 1917, is a fair measure of what income should be returned to the owners of railroad stocks, and the holders of them will hardly object to this, for at least two of those years were the most prosperous in many, so much so that the roads have not been able to handle the business, and because of their inability to do so government operation is reckened a necessity. Champions of outright government ownership will have to use magnifying glasses of considerable power to find much comfort in the message, and the Hearst journals are compelled to resort to the statement that there is a growing "feeling" in the halls of Congress that federal control is but the first step toward permanent government operation and ownership May be, but this might be an instance of where the wish is father to the thought. ABSISTANCE ASKED IN FUEL CONSERVATION Fuel Administration Wants Everybody To Do His Bit The following letter has been sent out by the Federal Fuel Administration: Speed up the transportation and unloading of freight cars suitable for coal carrying Put a war punch into car movements Personal effort with railroads, shippers and consignees is urged that they may exert extraordinary efforts for the quick handling and unloading of cars It is designed to make it unpopular for any one to delay car movement Consignees are asked to get their cars unloaded even if they have to work night, Sundays and holidays; anything to empty and move coal cars promptly.

Water Company Anaheim, California, January 9, 1918 TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO: Please take notice that the regular annual meeting of stockholders and election for Directors of the ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY will be held at the office of the Company, 401 East Center Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, on Saturday, the twenty-sixth day of January, 1918, at the hour of 10 o'clock a.m., for the purpose of electing Directors of said corporation for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY, is figured that there will be a gain of ten per cent in car handling for the entire nation. DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES Both Gov. Stephens and the state council of defense in a resolution passed recently by the California women committee of the council of National and State defense, are requested to place before the committee on resources and food supply and before the proper authorities in Washington, California's ability to supply millions of pounds of dehydrated vegetables and to urge their use for army and navy purposes. According to the resolution, the British, French and even the German armies are using enormous quantities of dehydrated or dried vegetables for both their armies and navies with satisfactory results. A Canadian firm is reported by the United States department of agriculture to be supplying 2,000,000 pounds monthly of dried vegetables to the French and British train drafted men in the following: Infantry drill. Telegraphic and radio signal training. Forge shop work and machine shop. Cooking. Carpentry and wood work. Drawing draughting and mathematics. The classes in Sacramento are conducted from seven to nine o'clock every evening. They are in conformity with the government's urging that every drafted man equip himself for some special line of service.

The scouts only want outlawed postage stamps—stamps that have served the purpose for which they were made and have been thrown into the discard. A cancelled postage stamp has hitherto been considered one of the most worthless things in the world, but in these days of thrift it has been discovered that it has an actual money value. The stamps are being collected for the relief of Belgian orphans, and it is officially announced that one thousand stamps will feed an infant a month. That must not be understood to mea nthat the stamps are to be fed to the child as fodder, but the printers' ink or dye on them is to be removed from the paper, sold on the market and the money converted into suitable food for the infants. Miss Turner of the Anaheim high school is the chief collector here and she has numerous young assistants gathering up the stamps. Everybody, no doubt, has an accumulation of old letters on hand. Help the cause by cutting off the stamps and either sending them to Moiss Turner or giving them to some scout. Don't dispise the one-center. It is worth just as much for this purpose as the popular three-center, and color is of no consequence. Don't try to peel the stamps off the envelope or don't wet them. Cut out a piece of the envelope or wrapper to which the stamp adheres. If one thousand stamps will furnish rations for a child for one month, one million will feed a thousand for thirty days. There should be a sufficient quantity found in Anaheim to support quite a colony of Belgian orphans. GRATEFUL TO GAZETTE This office received Monday the following from W. S. Kingsbury, state surveyor general: Sacramento, January 5, 1918. Editor Gazette: I am in receipt of a clipping from the Gazette of Dec. 20, 1917, covering the leasing of school lands.
