The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter NEW ERA OF AMERICANISM Sounding a warning against what he termed the "American Bolsheviki" and advocating changes in the naturalization laws, President Harry B. Hutchins, of the University of Michigan, on Saturday made the Charter Day address at the Semi-centennial celebration which was in progress at the University of California during last week. President Hutchins took for his subject "The World War and Some of Its By-Products," in which he recounted the reasons for the participations of the United States in the great tragedy and presented his conclusions as to the problems which would confront the nation after the declaration of peace. He said in part: But while we join in celebrating victory and in honoring those who have made victory possible, let us not forget that all the sacrifices of the great struggle have been made for lasting peace and not for the glories of war. That there may be a menace in a great military establishment, such as we shall have when the hostilities are over, and in the fact that the establishment has been the result of the exercise of centralized authority such as the country has never before known, is a conclusion warranted by the lessons of history. Conditions will surely offer opportunities for unscrupulous and ambitious leadership, leadership that will be ready to sacrifice democratic initiative and control, and urge as a reason that governsation obligations, has been a mistake fraught with serious consequences. We have neglected to find out and seemingly to care about, the general intentions and the citizen intentions of those who have come. Excepting for taxation, if they accumulate property, and that they are subject to the laws of the land, they are free from public burden or obligation of any kind. They have all the opportunities and all the protection that the country affords. And yet when danger threatens and our young men are summoned to the colors, their alienage protects. Is there justice in all this, justice to our own? Is there equality in it? Do the principles of democracy that we profess require or sanction it? Not, certainly, if democracy means the fair adjustment of opportunity and burden. That the time is ripe for the inauguration of a new and vigorous policy that will effectively exclude the unfit and prescribe the character of, and, except upon special privilege granted, limit the period of alien residence, must now be apparent. Remembering recent disclosures in regard to the number and attitude and length of residence of alien enemies in public places of strategic importance, we cannot fail to realize the necessity of prompt and comprehensive legislation that will go to the root of the difficulty. The public declaration of our militant and heroic ex-president upon this subject, that when made seemed startling and radical, no longer shocks. It has in it the true ring and contains the essence of a sound and wise policy. It was in substance this: "That every alien coming to this country should come under bond, conditioned that within a specified time after his arrival, he shall learn the English language and take steps toward becoming a citizen, the penalty for failure in either particular being deportation." Let us hope that out of the various alien bills proposed a vigorous, wise, consistent, equitable and safe policy, covering the whole subject, may be evolved. But the Americanism that the war is developing demands more. It calls also for a new, definite and comprehensive conception of citizenship, particularly as applied to the naturalized alien; a conception so definite and comprehensive that it precludes forever the notion of dual allegiance. This will mean the change of natural-erately add to those omit to mention several A recent German as follows: "In December, 1914 forces lost 119 aerobic baloons, total 11 air battles amounted to 2 captive ballots.

That there may be a menace in a great military establishment, such as we shall have when the hostilities are over, and in the fact that the establishment has been the result of the exercise of centralized authority such as the country has never before known, is a conclusion warranted by the lessons of history. Conditions will surely offer opportunities for unscrupulous and ambitious leadership, leadership that will be ready to sacrifice democratic initiative and control, and urge as a reason that governmental efficiency and preparedness, as indicated by our victories, require a permanent centralization of authority and the greater subordination of the individual to the demands of the state. While there is here a menace and a possible danger and while we shall in the future, if we are wise, insist upon a degree of centralized authority and preparedness that afford adequate protection, the good sense of the Americans will, I believe, save us from the peril of extreme changes. They will recognize, I am sure, the possible danger suggested and guard against it. They will never consent to anything savoring of arbitrary or military domination. Hundreds of thousand of our loyal young men have been called to the defense of the country and hundreds of thousands more must follow. Not infrequently their places have been filled by allens and others who are both ignorant and hostile to the established order. That this will to a considerable extent continue to be the practice, we cannot doubt. In dealing with such people we are not dealing with American workmen, but with muscle and brawn to which American jobs have been given. Our railroads and our strategic industries are largely manned by the foreign contingent. This was the case before the declaration of war, but it is increasingly so now and it may be expected to continue. Doubtless some are friendly and will become loyal citizens, but of the attitude of the great majority we know nothing and can know nothing under present methods, until acts of lawlessness reveal it. That large numbers are hostile to our institutions, either through ignorance or evil leadership, and who for the safety of the country should be interned, is doubtless true. From such as these the American Bolsheviks are recruited, but not from these alone, for unfortunately in the ranks of the agitators are many who in name, at least are American citizens. Under various appellations and with different avowed purposes, they are all really working for a common object, which, if attained, means the destruction of responsible government, the disrupting of settled order and the paralyzing of the industrial life of the nation. These are people who pose efforts for defense and cooperation in the present crisis who are ready when ordered by irresponsible and designing leaders to clog he wheel of business and industry whatever may be the result. It is from this source largely that come the SITUATION IN FRANCE The Anaheim board of trade has received the following bulletin issued by the chamber of commerce of Paris, France in February, 1918. The information given in this is authentic: Submarine Warfare: the truth concerning its results: Germany, who in February, 1917, inaugurated ruthless submarine warfare with her "sink at sight" methods, has endeavored to intensify it, by extending the zones prohibited to neutral vessels, and by increasing the number of her submarines. In spite of these efforts, and the damage done to Allied and neutral navies by German piracy, the traffic in the harbors suffices to prove that the Allies are not in want of either foodstuffs, raw or war materials. Besides this the military assistance given by the United States reaches the Allies uninterruptedly and in continually increasing proportions. Notwithstanding these facts, the German admiralty persistently publishes imposing statistics, whose gross inaccuracy, in all fairness to ourselves, should be called attention to. For instance, in February, 1917 Germany states 780,000 tons were destroyed whereas in reality the Allies losses were only 540,000 tons. In March, April and May, the figures announced in the German official reports were respectively 880,000, 1,000,000 and 870,000 tons; but the actual losses incurred by the Allies were only 570,000, 850,000 and 500,000 tons. Then according to the German admiralty's reports the losses of the Allies during the first half year in 1917 were said to be 40 per cent, and for the second, 60 per cent of the total tonnage. Facts go to prove, on the contrary, that the losses caused by submarine warfare are on the do- FINAL CLASS A large list of finally classified bert trict boards, tha ing been returned board on Saturday lows: F.

Under various appellations and with different avowed purposes, they are all really working for a common object, which, if attained, means the destruction of responsible government, the disrupting of settled order and the paralyzing of the industrial life of the nation. These are people who oppose efforts for defense and cooperation in the present crisis who are ready when ordered by irresponsible and designing leaders to clog the wheel of business and industry whatever may be the result. It is from this source largely that come the cries for peace when there can be no peace but the peace of submission. If the signs of the times indicate one thing more clearly than another, it would seem to be that we are facing as one of the by products of the great struggle the danger of a social and industrial and political upheaval such as the world has never known. Unless immediate and vigorous and continuous steps are taken to prevent it, democracy run mad will surely be the peril of the not distant future. That it may be diverted by timely awakening and vigorous action is a consumption devoutly to be wished. I firmly believe that we are entering upon a new era of Americanism which will prove to be a mose important by product of the world conflict. Because of that conflict, we are, if I am not mistaken, awakening to the fact that the policy of the open door to alliens with practically no restrictions and safeguards is radically wrong. Coming in large numbers and with many among them, probably a majority, who are neither fitted for citizenship nor interested in taking necessary steps to secure it, they are an element that may become dangerous even in times of peace. In times of a great national crisis they are a menace of grave proportions. While we recognize that no small degree of our prosperity and of what we are as a nation have been due to the fact that our population has from time to time been largely increased from foreign sources, we are beginning to see that our liberality in giving to all that come the opportunities of the country without exacting compo- ports were respectively 880,000, 1,000,000 and 870,000 tons; but the actual losses incurred by the Allies were only 570,000, 850,000 and 500,000 tons. Then according to the German admiralty's reports the losses of the Allies during the first half year in 1917 were said to be 40 per cent, and for the second, 60 per cent of the total tonnage. Facts go to prove, on the contrary, that the losses caused by submarine warfare are on the decrease, for the 42 weeks of the "sinking at sight" piracy show an irregular but continual decline in results. This is shown by the following table, drawn up from official figures, in which the time taken into account is divided into six periods of seven weeks each: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th At'kd ...405 528 415 289 289 200 Sunk ...292 347 243 184 189 139 The statistics of the traffic in allied ports (entrances and clearances) show, too, that the deficiency caused by destruction is partly made up for by increased activity in navigation, and in ship building yards. According to the New York World 58 vessels of wood and steel are, at present, in course of construction in the United States, making 207,000 tons; and 345 steel ships, making 2,665,400 tons. With boats that have been purchased or commandeered, giving 2,250,000 tons, a total of more than 5 million tons will be available for 1918. Aerial Warfare: The losses incurred by the belligerents: In their official reports of the respective losses of the belligerents in aerial warfare, the Germans have just as little regard for facts, and accuracy. With a view to concealing the real number of their machines which have been brought down they delib- ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The outlook for future development work in the Brea-Whittier-Montebello field from the standpoint of getting materials to work with never looked better than at the present time. During the past year chances for getting the required amount of casing and drilling equipment for carrying on the large amount of work laid out were rather slim. For this reason a great deal of active work had to be curtailed and in some instances stopped. That serious situation that confronted the oil operators now no longer exists. The supplies are coming. In reviewing the field for the week the writer found no drilling wells shut down for want of pipe and casing or other drilling supplies. Large shipments of casing are now moving from the eastern mills to the coast, and local oil well supply houses are able in a measure not heretofore enjoyed to supply their customers with pipe and casing. While the supply is not as big and no extra storage room will be necessary to handle the incoming shipments, yet the trade will be taken care of comfortably. For a number of months wildcatting and planning of outside development work extensively could not be considered on account of the scarcity and inability to get the necessary materials to do the work. This condition of affairs is being changed fast, and the operators will not be compelled to stick so close to the already proven fields of the state. As a number of the big operators kept busy getting enough casing to operate wells started early last year the production of the great Southern field could not be very materially increased. There is a feeling in the local field this long stratum of oil sand and when finished the well will go on the beam and put the production of the Brea Co. up into the big figures. At No. 29 the sidetracking of lost pipe is still continuing with good success. Senator Courier whose well at the mouth of Pomona valley has been attracting considerable attention for a number of months will be put on the beam by the most exhaustive manner possible. The well is being tubed to a depth of 3000 feet. The well was started drilling several years ago but on account of formation and water troubles the progress of the well was slow. At one time the well showed rather strong and hopes of getting something are now entertained. It is the intention of the owner of the property to drill another well should this one fail to produce. The Columbia Oil Co. has met with a reversal of luck that would discourage the novice in the oil game on its well in the Olinda field. No. 28 at a depth of 3000 feet developed a fishing job a couple of weeks ago that is still delaying drilling progress. No. 29 is drilling at 3350 and good headway is being made. The Columbia's No. 7 is being tested out for water after standing cemented for a couple of weeks. The cementing at 2250 has proven a success and drilling will be resumed this week. No. 8 on the same property is drilling with the rotary at 825 and the formation is some of the hardest ever encountered in the Brea field and progress is very slow on that account. The Fullerton Oil Co. appeared in the oil lime light rather conspicuously a few weeks ago with five strings of tools in three wells. However this is no fault of the management as the company's property is regarded as the most difficult to drill in the entire Brea field and the manner in which the Ful A large list of registrants has been finally classified by the local and district boards, the questionnaires having been returned from the district board on Saturday.

There is a feeling in the local field that the government has taken hold of the casing situation and is seeing to it that the oil operators are supplied with pipe as oil is one of the great factors that will win the war. With this feeling that the government is behind the men who are digging the wells as well as the men who are digging the trenches a great development campaign and an unparalleled activity is looked for throut out the entire fields of the state. At present there are over 100 wells drilling in the local field and the correspondent in gathering the information for this report found a large number of newly located wells and rigs going up on the new locations. That feeling of uncertainty and restraint seems to have left the field and development work in every department of the oil industry is going ahead at top speed. Accompanied with the great activity now on the production of the field now a little better than 55,000 bbls are being increased correspondingly, and with the maintaining of the large amount of development work and work that will be started soon it is safe to say that the daily average will be increased to 60,000 bbls before the end of the year. The Amalgamated Oil Co.'s drilling at Huntington are down 3350. While the well is getting a little deep the indications are very encouraging for an oil well. At 3350 the formation is a brown shale and oil colorings and showings that are good. Quite an appreciable gas pressure and this coupled with the showing are indicative of the fact that the pay dirt is not far off. At 3500 the writer predicts a good well. Drilling on the Durfee property east of Montebello is going good. The tools are rotating at 1560 and at this depth the formation is allowing rapid progress to be made. At a depth of 3300 the Amalgamated Oil Co.'s drilling with the rotary at 825 and the formation is some of the hardest ever encountered in the Brea field and progress is very slow on that account. The Fullerton Oil Co.'s appeared in the oil lime light rather conspicuously a few weeks ago with five strings of tools in three wells. However this is no fault of the management as the company's property is regarded as the most difficult to drill in the entire Brea field, and the manner in which the Fullerton Oil company is recovering is indeed remarkable. Sidetracking pipe at No. 10 is making good headway. At No. 11 redrilling has advanced to 2945 and it will not be very long until new hole will be made. Nos. 13 and 14 are rigged up ready for drilling. The General Pertoleum Co.'s have rigged up two wells on its property and will commence on one of them this week. The commencement work of this company marks the General's first development work in the Southern field for a number of years. The Standard Oil Co.'s Murphy property continues to be the home of big wells in the Whittier field. This week finished No. 33 at a depth of 4110 and the well is now flowing at the rate of 2000 bbls. The oil is high grade and coming from the well practically clean. Some of the biggest wells in this district have been brought in on the Murphy property and the late addition to the property will greatly increase the production. On the same property No. 31 is drilling at 4007. No. 34 is drilling at 4000 No. 35 is testing for water at 3344.No 36 is also testing for water at 3640.No 38 is testing for water at 3540.No 39 has been cemented at 3646.No 40 is standing cemented at 3296.No 41 is drilling at 2186.No 42 is cemented at 3178.No 43 is drilling at 2931. At Whittier the Standard is putting down wells and putting them on the week. No. 8 on the same property is drilling with the rotary at 825 and the formation is some of the hardest ever encountered in the Brea field and progress is very slow on that account.

asks for donations of material to make them. The finished bags must be 18 by 24 inches which will give an indication of the quantity of material necessary. Any bright colored material heavier than lawn will do, cretonne being better than anything. These bags are used in hospitals to hold the clothing of the wounded soldiers.

Over ten per cent. now or soon will be en proportion of these Bell neers and technically the ranks not easily filled. proved his loyalty in the who will not give unreliance wherever the path. One of our great preadjust our organization forces, and at the same increase in telephone service as possible. The Birch Co. have stopped drilling on No. 14 long enough to put in a string of 6¼ casing. The depth is 3500 feet and as soon as the casing is in the hole the drilling will go ahead. It is the intention of the management to drill to a depth of 4000 feet. Supt. Royer says that the producing wells on the Birch are keeping up very nicely and that the old standby, the famous No. 5 is still making 150 bbls. daily. The Brea Canyon Oil Co. drilling on No. 14 are now at a depth of 2640. At this depth a high grade of oil sand over 200 feet in thickness continues and the well is looking very good. The management figure on drilling thru beam. No. 53 has been cemented at 2082. At this depth 10 inch casing is being cemented. No. 54 is drilling at 1621. A fishing job at No. 55 is delaying the drilling progress of the well. No. 56 is drilling at 1583, and making excellent progress. No. 57 is making hole at 1745. At Brea the Standard is continuing the testing out of Coyote 2-9 at a depth of 4254. At this depth the well has been cemented and will be pumped for a test. On the Baldwin tract near Montebello the Standard is rushing development work as fast as possible. No. 4 is being finished up at a depth of 3350. The casing is being perforated preparatory to putting the well on the beam. The well has been showing up exceptionally good and a big find is expected when the well is opened up. Not one of the Standard's Baldwin wells have fallen below expectations and No. 4 will not be an exception. Baldwin No. 5 is drilling at 1770. No. 5 is down 2149 and drilling. No. 9 and 10 have been cemented at 2135 and 2771 respectively. No. 12 is drilling by pipe at 1941. No. 13 is drilling at 1610. New locations on the Baldwin property are 14, 15 and 16. On the Kraemer property near Brea the Standard has completed the erection of a rig and will commence drilling as soon as the rigging work is done. The Kraemer property is a recent addition to the large acreage owned by the Standard in the Brea field and is regarded as a very promising piece of oil land. The Tri State Oil company has completed the putting in of a string of 2 inch casing 5474 feet in length. This will be cemented on bottom, allowed to stand until the cement has set when the drilling will continue.

The Union Oil company has spent a large sum of money and years of time endeavoring to develop oil in paying quantities on this property and are entitled to a producer to off set the great development expense. Employees of Amalgamated to Donate 1% of Monthly Salary What is regarded as one of the most patriotic moves made by any body of men has been made by the employees of the Amalgamated Oil Co. in the Brea and Olinda fields. The large number of employees have unanimously agreed to donate one percent of their salaries received from the company each month. The money will go to a common fund to be used for war purposes. This method places the giving of money to worthy organ- The Tri State Oil company has completed the putting in of a string of 2 inch casing 5474 feet in length. This will be cemented on bottom, allowed to stand until the cement has set when the drilling will continue. It is understood that this well showed up pretty well at 5474 and the continued drilling will develop something good. The Union Oil Co. announces the completion of La Merced No. 3 at a depth of 2833. The well is flowing nicely and quietly and making a production of 800 bbls. a day. Soon after the well was put on the beam it made a spurt flow at the rate of 8000 bbls. and for a while resembled the Lakeview gusher. It soon quieted down to the 800 bbls. rate. La Merced No. 2 is drilling in brown shale at 2300. No. 4 is now in the oil sand and drilling at 2400. No. 6 is drilling at 2730. At Bixby the Union is still on a very difficult fishing job. A number of points of pipe were lost in the hole and these are being taken out in sections. While the job is going slow progress is being made. The Chapman well, perhaps the most famous well in the state for the amount of conglomerate found in one place at one time is drilling at a depth of 1948. The conglomerate formation has softened up some allowing some 10 to 12 feet of hole to be made. The drilling is being made with fish tails. The Union has cemented Bastanchury No. 6 at a depth of 3720 where a very good showing of oil was noted. It is believed that the shutting off of the water will produce an oil well when the test is made. This well has made the best showing of any well drilled on the Bastanchury property 1% of Monthly Salary What is regarded as one of the most patriotic moves made by any body of men has been made by the employees of the Amalgamated Oil Co. in the Brea and Olinda fields. The large number of employees have unanimously agreed to donate one per cent of their salaries received from the company each month. The money will go to a common fund to be used for war purposes. This method places the giving of money to worthy organizations assisting with the winning of the war on an equal basis, and will prevent the man who is liberal from giving more than he can afford and allowing the other fellow getting the bigger salary to give his bit. The plan that the employees of this company have instituted does away with persons soliciting funds from the men in the field in person. All solicitors will be referred to Wm. Kammerer, the general superintendent who has been made treasurer and distributor of the moneys given by the men. Mr. Kammerer will consider the need and work of the organization seeking assistance and will apportion the fund as he sees fit. This plan will give organizations a sum of over $100 a month and will proportion the giving so systematically and evenly that no man will feel that his contribution and will not get a sum far above any other method of raising money for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. or other organizatins. The method is indeed a unique one, was instituted by the employees and met with instant favor with every man on the company's big pay roll. The metohd is meeting with such great success that it will be doubtless instituted by employees of other companies in the Brea field, and in this way a gigantic war fund will be created and maintained in which the rostabout and the superintendent will share an equal burden. Men will give according to their earning and thus do away with the appealing to sympathy and the ollowing of men to give more than they really can afford. Bell Telephone Volunteers More than 7000 employees of the Bell System are now enrolld in actual military service, including fourteen battalions of Naval Corps reserves. Many Bell employees are members of the Specialized National Guard or of the Naval Coast Defense Reserve. Over ten per cent. of the male employees of the company are or soon will be engaged in active military service. A large portion of these Bell System volunteers are telephone enginists and technically trained men. They leave gaps in the Bell system not easily filled. There is not a man of them who has not used his loyalty in the service of the public, and not a man who will not give unreservedly the same large measure of devowherever the path of duty leads. One of our great problems, incident to the war, has been to must our organization and meet this heavy loss to our workforces, and at the same time to take care of the tremendous case in telephone traffic with as little impairment to the service as possible.
