WINS FIRST GAME NEW LEAGUE SERIES ANAHEIM BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATS FAST BUNCH FROM ANGEL CITY FOUR TO NOTHING FAIRBANKS WILL PITCH AGAINST VALENCIA, AN ANCIENT ENEMY, NEXT SUNDAY The Anaheim baseball team played an almost errorless game Sunday, and pulled off a few sensational stunts that made the contest an interesting one from start to finish. It was a hard fought game, their opponents being the Fahey-Atterbury Fords, champions of the Los Angeles Trolley league. This team is a splendid aggregation, and made an heroic struggle, but the best they could do was to get a man as far around the circle as third base, and he got there by an accidental drive over the center fielder's head, which netted him three bags. But he died there as Krause tightened up and retired the side. Georgfe Krause was in excellent form and had the game under control at all times. There was only one or two occasions when the danger signal was flying, but at those times he buckled down and pulled safely out. He struck out eleven men and allowed but four hits. Twelve hits were made off of Mitchell, the Ford pitcher, and he retired four men by strike outs. The final score was four to Joaquin, 96, Fresno, 89; Santa Clara, 88; San Bernardino, 67; Marin, 55; Riverside, 50; Stanislaus, 47, and Monterey, 45. The aggregate for Saif Francisco and other bay counties was 1023, against 747 for Los Angeles and Orange counties together. FIREMEN MEET Falling in their attempts to get the city attorneys of the county together for a conference, the Orange County Firemen's association will send a representative to each city attorney and ask for a written opinion on the subject of liability insurance in the case of visiting fire departments. The association met Friday night at Fullerton. The ladies of the Red Cross served supper at eight o'clock. Prof. E. W. Hauck, of the Fullerton schools gave an interesting address on the subject of fire prevention, with respect to educating the public. Several of the members made good short speeches on the good of the order. At the close of the business meeting, City Clerk Hexmalhalch, of Fullerton sang three patriotic songs. The next meeting of the association will be held at Newport Beach April 19. H. S.

There was only one or two occasions when the danger signal was flying, but at those times he buckled down and pulled safely out. He struck out eleven men and allowed but four hits. Twelve hits were made off of Mitchell, the Ford pitcher, and he retired four men by strike outs. The final score was four to nothing. There was very little heavy slugging in the game, three base hits being made by Charlie Krause and Gould. Vetter, first base and Franklin, short stop, each made some phenomenal plays. Captain Vetter had three new men in the game Sunday. They were Potter, who played second, Emmet in center field and Heinrich in right field. They will probably remain with the team. Anaheim has entered the Southern California Consolidated Semi-Professional league, composed of the best amateur teams in the Southland, and this was the first game of the series. We were pitted against one of the swiftest teams in the league and came out with flying colors. A championship pennant is the prize for which they are striving, each team playing sixteen games. With proper support there is no reason why the Anaheim boys should fail to cop the championship and bring home the pennant. Next Sunday's game will be with the Nelson & Price aggregation of Los Angeles. Valencia will pitch for the visitors and Fairbanks will be on the mound for the locals, as Doug is anxious to work against his old-time opponent. The line up for Anaheim Sunday was Krause pitcher; Krause catcher; Franklin short stop; Vetter 1st base; Potter 2nd base; Fairbanks 3rd base; Evans left field; Emmett center field; and Heinrich right field. TO USE WAR MESSAGES AS TEXT President Wilson's famous war messages to Congress are to be used as texts in a course to be offered at the University of California summer session, to be held in Berkeley from June 24 to August 3. Dr. J. Loewenberg, instructor in logic at the university is to give the course, which will be entitled "Problems of Individual and National Conduct." Dr. Loewenberg, who was for some time an assistant to the late Prof. Josiah Royce at Harvard for the Orange county high school baseball league: Friday, April 5—S. A. P. H.

HIS RULING PASSION Nobody at all familiar with contemporaneous history has the slightest doubt about the kaiser's dream of world power, and that such is the real plan and purpose of the militarists of Germany, says the San Bernardino Sun. It has been veraciously reported time and again that the German emperor long since publicly professed himself as something of a twentieth century incarnation of Alexander and Julius Caesar, Napoleon and Frederick, yet for all that, to have the news brought to us here at home by a citizen of our own town that he himself heard Kaiser William make such a declaration, comes as something of a shock. The news published in The Sun earlier in the week, reporting the experience of a former ship builder who worked on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and was present at the launching at Hamburg in 1901, where he heard the emperor say: "In 1917 our fleet will have supreme power over the sea. Our future lies on the water. We will rule the sea and the land." Conformably to that policy, for 14 years Germany was building and building and building and the only thing that interfered with the consummation of the plan was the fact that Britain was likewise building and building and in 1914 when the inevitable conflict came it found Germany less supreme on the sea than she had expected to be and less effective and prepared than she was for land conflict. The statement is a remarkable key to German policy. It makes it possible to understand at once the whole motive and purpose and life of German officialdom. World power was the kaiser's dream and it became the dream of every individual over whom the army influence was exerted. To "rule the sea and the land," frightful-than two scores evaded registration.

Dr. J. Loewenberg, instructor in logic at the university is to give the course, which will be entitled "Problems of Individual and National Conduct." Dr. Loewenberg, who was for some time an assistant to the late Prof. Josiah Royce at Harvard university will also require his students to read two books by Prof. Royce "The Philosophy of Loyalty" and "The Hope of the Great Community." The course will deal directly with issues arising from the war. The fundamental problems of the present crisis will be covered and individual national rights will be outlined. Ethics and international relations will be discussed, as will the double standard of morality, individual and national. The course will touch upon the relations between the problems of international conflicts and the general problems of philosophy. ORANGE COUNTY FIFTH The monthly bulletin of the California state board of health shows that Orange county is continuing its excellent record for health conditions. The table for county birth rate and death totals shows that in November Orange county recorded 84 births and 46 deaths. In November this county stood fifth in the number of marriage licenses issued. The counties showing the highest totals for marriage licenses isssued follow: Los Angeles, 628; San Francisco, 621; Alameda, 279; San Diego, 250; Orange, 119; Sacramento, 111; San Believing that German soldiers will show more mercy to American prisoners if they are Masons, the Pomona Masons have had service letter certificates printed in German, French and Italian with which they will equip their members. The certificates are accompanied by receipts showing dues paid until the end of the war. Should any of the men happen to fall into the hands of the Germans, Masons believe that foreign members of the lodge will be bound by the ties of fraternalism and give better treatment than is usually accorded prisoners. There are 13 Pomona Masons already in service. Leo McGavoren who has been visiting his friends here, returned to camp at San Diego Monday. Miss Clara Truxaw of Fresno and Miss Helen Schidell of Iowa, were visiting last week with Dr. J. W. Truxaw and family. The statement is a remarkable key to German policy. It makes it possible to understand at once the whole motive and purpose and life of German officialdom. World power was the kaiser's dream and it became the dream of every individual over whom the army influence was exerted. To "rule the sea and the land," frightfulness was invented, the rights of humanity and the laws of nations and the rules of war discarded, and a nation became imbued with the spirit of Kaiser William's Hamburg address delivered 17 years ago, and reported to us here in San Bernardino by one who heard him speak those fateful words. Purchasers owe a slip of pearl on a stair made. Duplicated slips were placed and Mrs. Lloyd premier, conserved itss.

This great sale place during the day and its most relied on that the business store showed a previous holiday. ALIEN ENEMIES CANNOT ESCAPE REGISTRATION All Who Fail to Report Will be Informed for Duration of War Those who evaded the German enemy registration in Los Angeles—and it is believed that there are many of them—failed to take into consideration that the police are in possession of records which will make it a simple matter to round them up and bring them to justice. This task will be accomplished by checking the list of those who registered as German alien enemies against the list of those who claimed exemption because they were German allens. Thirty police patrolmen who had charge of registering the German enemies are now checking their lists with the United States Marshal Walton to eliminate all of the Germans who complied with the letter of the law. When the work is completed, perhaps within the week, the police will go out and gather in all the male German enemies who failed to register. The punishment that will be meted out to them is internment for the period of the war. There is no appeal from this, as such is the penalty announced by presidential proclamation. Police Chief Butler, chief registrar for that city, says he thinks that more than two score of German enemies evaded registration. The postoffice authorities are closely vising the alien enemy blanks filled out at the post office, with a view to ascertaining whether the information contained in these returns is correct. Under the law, all alien enemies living outside of the city, who get their mail at the city postoffice, were compelled to register at the local office, and all of these are being looked into. Much of the work in connection with the fact that people had deposited on the premises over $17,000,000 for war bonds. RAPID INCREASE IN ARMY Between April 1, 1917 and the first of the present year Uncle Sam's available fighting force on land has been increased from 214,607 to 1,539,506, according to information just furnished to the state council of defense by the war department. Mathematically this represents the creation of a land fighting force more than seven times larger than the nucleus from which it was built and the great increase was accomplished in less than nine months' time. The growth of the American army during the last nine months of 1917, as shown from official figures by the war department, is as follows: 1917 1918 Regular army ... 121,797 475,000 National guard ... 76,713 400,000 National army ... 480,000 Reserve ... 4,000 72,750 Total ... 204,607 1,539,506 While the exact figures as to the total number of men contributed by California to Uncle Sam's new land force are unavailable, it is known that up to January 1, this year, this state had given close to 20,000 to the regular army and to the National guard. This number is not inclusive of those called into the national army through the draft, or of enlistments in the navy, which have been unusually heavy. The new United States army is now one and a half times as large as the biggest force ever mobilized during the Civil war and almost six times larger than the American force of 272,000 men which took part in the Spanish American war. AUTOMATIC INSURANCE no market for it. Refiners were glad to get rid of it at almost any price or even give it away. In some instances thousands of gallons were dumped into the streams, as the storing of it was a menace to the works, and there was no future outlook for it. As much of the lighter product as possible was left in the kerosene, and the manufacturers sought uses for it in various ways. Conditions have reversed themselves. Gasoline is the most desirable product of petroleum. Instead of blending it with the lighter grades of kerosene, the latter is being cut to make more gasoline, and the gravity of the motive fluid is being reduced until it practically reaches the gravity of light kerosene. What was a waste product has become an important article of commerce and industry. A barrel of oil, which in past years lost a certain proportion in waste, is now utilized to the last pint. The barrel of crude petroleum has increased in intrinsic value because more of its component parts have been called for in the world's industrial growth, until now there is nothing lost. Petroleum illuminates and heats the homes of thousands, it cooks meals; it preserves canned foods, it enters into dozens of little household duties, which are made easier by its use; it turns wheels in great factories; it drives locomotives, speeds the automobiles, has made the airplane and submarine practical; does farm chores smooths the roads, destroys pests, is valuable in medicine, and attracts the highest scientific knowledge in its study. From the humblest of duties to the greatest, petroleum plays its part, and to this perfect utilization of all its products is due to higher prices which it commands. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS IN BRITAIN The vast sale of war savings certificates in England, especially among the working classes, is the best proof that all the elements of the nation are standing squarely behind their government, according to H. Gordon Selfridge, the American born owner of London's greatest department store. Mr. Selfridge in a recent interview in New York spoke of the great opportunity offered the people of the United States through the purchase of thrift and war savings stamps to aid the nation in winning the war. The working classes of England are not alone doing their bit at the front and behind the lines and in the munition factories, but they are also diverting much of their earnings back to the national treasury, and so doubly assisting in defeating German autoeracy, said Mr. Selfridge. Speaking of the enthusiasm with which the wage earners of England were assisting the Government by purchasing war savings certificates, the equivalent to United States war savings stamps, Mr. Selfridge told of the sale of these certificates to the employees of his own establishment. Besides buying war bonds, the 4,500 employees of Selfridge's in a few weeks' time, invested over $100,000 in war savings certificates. With America's vastly greater resources, Mr. Selfridge said, he had no doubt that the people of the United States would far outdo England's effort in purchasing war savings stamps. The sale of this great sum of war savings certificates to the employes of called into the national army through the draft, or of enlistments in the navy, which have been unusually heavy. The new United States army is now one and a half times as large as the biggest force ever mobilized during the Civil war and almost six times larger than the American force of 272,000 men which took part in the Spanish American war. AUTOMATIC INSURANCE Any American soldiers lost on the torpedoed transport were protected by United States government insurance and government compensation. Those who had not applied for insurance were covered by automatic insurance which is payable to a wife, child, or widowed mother. The automatic insurance aggregates about $4,300, netting $25 a month for 240 months. Insurance that had been applied for is payable to a much larger class of beneficiaries and can go as high as $10,000, netting $57.50 a month for 240 months. The compensation in case of death, given by the government without charge and regardless of rank or pay ranges from $20 to $75 a month, based on the number of dependents. Payments under the compensation feature of the military and naval insurance act in case of death are payable to a widow, children, or dependent widowed mother. The scale of compensation in case of death follows: (a) For a widow alone, $25. (b) For a widow and one child, $35. (c) For a widow and two children, $47.50, with $5 for each additional child up to two. (d) If there be no widow, then for one child, $20. (e) For two children, $30. (f) For three children, $40, with $5 for each additional child up to two. (g) For a widowed mother, $20. The amount payable under this subdivision shall not be greater than a sum which when added to the total amount payable to the widow and children, does not exceed $75. NO WASTE IN OIL Go back to the days when Pennsylvania crude was $3 a barrel or higher in 1877 and before, and gasoline was a waste product. There was mobilies, has made the airplane and submarine practical; does farm chores smooths the roads, destroys pests, is valuable in medicine, and attracts the highest scientific knowledge in its study. From the humblest of duties to the greatest, petroleum plays its part, and to this perfect utilization of all its products is due the higher prices which it commands. MILK RECORDS Average Production of Dairy Cows of Five Breeds Most Generally Known in United States In Farmers' Bulletin 893 of the department of agriculture, "Breeds of Dairy Cattle," the average productions of five breeds most generally known in the United States are shown. For Ayshires the average of the 2,598 cows that have completed yearly records for advanced registry is 9,555 pounds of milk testing 3.95 per cent of butter fat. The ten highest milk producers of this breed range from 25,329 to 18,745 pounds of milk and the average of these ten highest producers is 21,538.8 pounds of milk. The ten highest butter fat producers among Ayshires range from 955.56 to 744.73 pounds, with an average, for these ten, of 855.4 pounds of butter fat. In the Brown Swiss breed the average of 199 cows that have completed yearly records for the register of production is 10,868.7 pounds of milk, testing 3.995 per cent, amounting to 433.45 pounds of butter fat. The ten highest milk producers of this breed range from 19,460 to 16,496.7 pounds of milk with an average, for these ten, of 17,372.2 pounds. The ten highest butter fat producers of the Brown Swiss range from 798.16 to 647.30 pounds, with an average, for these ten, of 683.72 pounds of butter fat.

Besides buying war bonds, the 4,500 employees of Selfridge's in a few weeks' time, invested over $100,000 in war savings certificates. With America's vastly greater resources, Mr. Selfridge said, he had no doubt that the people of the United States would far outdo England's effort in purchasing war savings stamps. The sale of this great sum of war savings certificates to the employes of Selfridge's followed a most spectacular sale of war bonds to the London public, during which over $17,000,000 in war bonds were disposed of in less than a week. In connection with the sale of these bonds a sort of lottery was established which provided for three prizes for the winners and several consolation prizes. Purchasers of bonds were provided with a slip of paper containing a number. On a stated day drawings were made. Duplicates of the numbered slips were placed in a large receptacle and Mrs. Lloyd George, wife of the premier, consented to make the drawings. The holder of the lucky number was awarded a prize of 200 pounds, while the consolation prizes of 100 pounds went to the holders of the numbers immediately above and below the number drawn. A second and third prize of lesser amounts also, with consolation prizes were given. The clerical work which the sale of these bonds involved amounted to several thousand pounds, and was paid for by Selfridge's as a matter of patriotism. This great sale of war bonds took place during the Christmas holidays, and its most remarkable feature was that the business of the department store showed a vast increase over any previous holiday business, despite NO WASTE IN OIL Go back to the days when Pennsylvania crude was $3 a barrel or higher in 1877 and before, gasoline was a waste product. There was per cent, amounting to 446.01 pounds of butter fat.
