SELFRIDGE TELLS OF BUSINESS IN ENGLAND Stores, At First Staggered by Enormity of Conflict, Were Rapidly Put on War Basis War savings and business are going hand in hand in England, according to H. G. Selfridge, the American-born owner of London's largest department store. Mr. Selfridge, who recently returned to London after a hurried visit to this country, spoke of the English campaign just before he sailed. He said: "At the beginning of the war, it looked very much to many of us as if the end of the world had come. We saw ourselves transformed in almost an hour from a peaceable, happy, easy going nation, into a nation of soldiers with a very strong opponent. "We saw things happening which we had come to think impossible; which we thought weer impossible from a financial standpoint. The timid people of the community were staggered, but the stronger ones put their teeth together and said: 'We don't know what is going to happen, but we are going to see this thing through, cost what it will.'" "The first week business decreased enormously, but very soon the government began to buy stuff from many retail houses, for England, as you know, was as utterly unprepared for this war as was the United States. The newspapers began to preach economy at once and they have kept on preaching it and are still preaching it." "A few men in business began to dismiss their employees. A few began to cancel orders from manufacturers. But finally cooler heads prevailed. Business was overhauled and brought back to a going basis; a war basis. "The failures in Great Britain during..." know, was as utterly unprepared for this war as was the United States. The newspapers began to preach economy at once and they have kept on preaching it and are still preaching it. "A few men in business began to dismiss their employees. A few began to cancel orders from manufacturers. But finally cooler heads prevailed. Business was overhauled and brought back to a going basis; a war basis. "The failures in Great Britain during the war have been materially reduced in volume and in number as compared with any year before the war and, except in the actual luxury trade, profits have increased rather than diminished. "One of the many causes which led to this happy result was the war-savings certificates which the government put out. The department stores and in fact all business organizations, got behind these certificates as a unit. The stores gave space to advertising to help the sale of certificates and they set aside spaces in their establishments to boost them. "Our business last year increased so you see that the sale of bonds and war savings certificates did not interfere with business in England; in fact, business as a whole was aided by the government expenditure and by the rise in wages. The same thing will take place here for the same reason. "With all the resources of your great country, with the hundred millions of people whom you can call upon, you should do even greater things than we were able to do, and I return to England confident that when the final push comes, it will find the business men in America as one in the van." HARVESTING A MOST UNUSUAL CROP One of the most peculiar harvests in the world takes place in the foothills of Nevada and Placer counties during February and March. At that time the state of California, through its insectary department, harvests from 60,000,000,000 to 75,000,000,000 lady bugs. These bugs are gathered in cases, each holding about a quart or 33,000, and sent to Sacramento where they are stored until the summer season, when they are sent into the different sections of the state to feed on the aphis, which attacks the cantaloupes, beans and various other vegetables. A representative of the Pathe Weekly photographed the process of collecting the know, was as utterly unprepared for this war as was the United States. The newspapers began to preach economy at once and they have kept on preaching it and are still preaching it. "A few men in business began to dismiss their employees. A few began to cancel orders from manufacturers. But finally cooler heads prevailed. Business was overhauled and brought back to a going basis; a war basis.

Military experts have estimated that should the war be prolonged and it become necessary for the United States to assume the burden of carrying on the conflict an army of 5,000,000,000 men would not be improbable. The immense and sudden expansion of the army has not been without criticism, but, at is declared, this was expected in the conversion into a fighting force of a nation traditionally welded to the pursuits of peace. The expansion of the naval forces has been characterized in Congress by many as pralesworthy. The exact detail, here too, are shrouded in secrecy as a military measure, but it is well known that an emergency war building program is well on the way to a place second only to Great Britain as a naval force, and that in destroyers alone—most proved and deadly weapon of the submarine—the navy by next year will have the greatest fleet on the seven seas. Since the United States went to war, the navy has placed contracts for practically a thousand vessels, and beside that took charge of repairing the seized German and Austrian ships damaged by their crews at the orders of the German government. The case of the great liner Vaterland, now the United States ship Leviathan, is a fair example of the efficiency and speed with which the naval engineers conducted that work. When the Germans finished their work of destruction, the Vaterland's commander remarked he had numerous encounters with the Germans. Official statements from British and German army headquarters have shown that certain American fighting forces were thrown into the battle brought on by the great German offensive this spring, the British war office first reporting them as fighting shoulder to shoulder with the British and the French troops in the vicinity of Roye. By referring to the combined forces of the regular army and national guard a year ago, and comparing the strength of the regular army now, the national guard mustered into Federal service, and the men of the first draft in cannonments, it is apparent that the total number of ready fighting men has been increased from a meager 200,000 to something like 1,500,000, with about 10,000,000 men registered under the draft still available for calls to the colors.

LICENSES DECREASED Justice of the Peace Cox and some of the parsons may view with alarm some figures herewith produced from the marriage license records at the court house. The number of marriage licenses is falling off. Probably it is because the young men are scarcer than they were last year. The war bride situation may also have had some effect. The young soldier who was inclined to be married at once has been married, and that source of license has been gradually depleted. January of this year more than held its own with January of 1917, but the total for first three months of 1918 is 58 short of the total for the first three months of 1917. Here are the figures: 1917 1918 January ..... 114 118 February ..... 104 67 March ..... 115 90 Total ..... 333 275 The case of the great liner Vaterland, now the United States ship Leviathan, is a fair example of the efficiency and speed with which the naval engineers conducted that work. When the Germans finished their work of destruction, the Vaterland's commander remarked he would take his hat off to the Americans who could put the ship in shape in time to be of any service. Within six months from the time his words were spoken the Vaterland was in running order and since, the navy has announced, has carried numbers of American troops and great quantities of supplies to the fighting lines in France. By taking the ships and men of the coast guard into its fleets, by the merging of naval volunteers and the naval militia, and with the growth of the Marine corps, the navy has expanded its forces practically five times since the country went to war. In its immense task of convoying troops there have been some losses, notably the Tuscania and the Antilles, but the losses of life have been fortunately small in comparison with the numbers of troops transported. At the same time the American destroyers, working with the British in the submarine zone, have made themselves a terror to the undersea boats. How many of these craft they have accounted for remains a military secret. The treasury, concerned with financing the war, has raised from Liberty Bonds and War Savings stamp sales more than $8,000,000,000, and on this the anniversary of the declaration of war on Germany, is a thousand vessels, and beside that took charge of repairing the seized German and Austrian ships damaged by their crews at the orders of the German government.

The American farmer especially loves peace. Since the dawn of history, the farmer has been the man who suffered most from war. All that he possesses lies out of doors in plain sight and is spoil of war—his house, his grain, his livestock. The flames that light the skies in the rear of every invading army are consuming the things that yesterday represented his life work, and the life labors of past generations of farmers. Everywhere the farmer is a warrior when war is the only thing which will make and keep him free. He cannot rally to the colors as quickly as can the dwellers in the cities, because it takes longer to send to the farms the call to arms. It takes longer to call the farmers from the fields than the city dwellers from the shops. Many do not hear the first blast of the trumpet. Others do not at first understand its meaning because they have not had the time to talk the matter over with their acquaintances. Instead of reading half a dozen extras a day, the farmer may read weekly papers only. He must have more time in a sudden emergency to make up his mind. It is impossible to set the farmers of the United States on fire by means of any sudden spark of rumor. But when they do ignite, they burn with a slow, hot fire which nothing can put out. They are sometimes the last to heat up; but they stay hot. In a long fight they are always found sturdily carrying the battle across No-Man's Land in the last grim struggle. The American farmer will give all that he has and all that he is to win this great war against war. This war was at first hard to underown land, haul grain or drive stock to town, it would have done only a little more than it accomplished by its interdict against the freedom of the sea. What was the order against which we rebelled when we went into this war? Look at the condition of the American farmer in the latter part of 1914 and the first half of 1915 and see. When the war broke out, through surprise and panic we partially gave up for a while the use of the sea as a highway. And the farmers of America faced ruin. I know an Iowa farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 25,000 bushels of wheat for seventy cents a bushel. Farmers in the south sold their cotton for half the cost of producing it. All this time those portions of the world whose ports were open were ready to pay almost any price for our products. When finally we set our ships in motion once more, prosperity returned to the farms. But it never returned for the farmers of those nations which remained cut off from ocean traffic. Take the case of Australia. There three crops have remained unsold on the farms. No ships could be spared to make the long voyage to Australia. So in spite of the efforts of the Government to save the farmers from ruin, grain has rotted in the open. Millions of tons have been lost for lack of a market. Such conditions spell irretrievable disaster. Such conditions would have prevailed in this country from the outbreak of the war until now if our Government had not first resisted with every diplomatic weapon, and finally drawn the sword. Why did we draw the sword? To keep up the price of wheat and cotton? Besides the work of the executive departments of the government, the year has seen tremendous strides in the mobilization of labor, industry, science and invention, with the sole aim of winning the war. Hundreds of business and professional men have given up private interests to serve the government at nominal pay. Business and manufacture has given the best of its secrets. Whatever criticism has been made of the lack of coordination of all these tremendous resources and power, none ever has charged that private interest has withheld them. What is expected to be one of the mightiest weapons toward winning the war is the War Trade Board, created for the purpose of cutting off supplies to Germany through the adjacent neutrals. As the war goes on, officials say, the work of this organization cannot be underestimated. A year of war, all officials concede, finds shortcomings and defects, but it is contended no more than might have been expected from a peaceful nation suddenly reorganized to a war basis. President Wilson in a recent declaration pronounced the present year the vital one in the winning of the war. As the resources of America now being gathered, get to the battle fronts with a mighty rush, they are fully expected to carry the Allies on to victory. ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Started on Long Hike:— Feeble in mind and body, E. R. Atkinson, aged 60, of 216 Pacific avenue, Long Beach, wandered away from his home last Monday evening. Tuesday morning he was found wandering about at Garden Grove. Jack Jentges of Garden Grove saw the old man, and thinking he was lost questioned him. "Am I on the right road to Rockford, Illinois?" asked the man. Jentges took the man to Sheriff Jackson's office, where it was learned that the man's wife was somewhere in Long Beach. The police of Long Beach were notified and Mrs. Atkinson was located. She came over in an automobile and returned home with her husband that afternoon. Two Men Re-Sentenced:— Two men brought back to this county from San Quentin were sentenced. Day has attracted the attention of the government and a committee has been detailed to attend the meet and observe the motorcycles in attempts to scale the 72 per cent grade. All kinds of devices will be resorted to in "hitching up" the pop motors for the trial. The government thinks that possibly something that might be of service to the war may be developed by some of the experts who will enter bikes for the event. Factories are manifesting a deep interest and will have some of their expert riders in attendance and among the entrants. It is said that men will be sent from the east direct to the event. Those in charge of the arrangements are predicting an attendance of from 12,000 to 15,000 people. The fame of the annual climb has spread from year to year, and each year has seen an increased attendance. COX DENIES ELKS OFFERED TO ASSIST Says Turck Must Serve His Jail Sentence for Speeding "Nonsense" is the direct manner in which Judge Cox expressed himself when he read a news story in the Los Angeles Examiner. "I saw nothing of Turck, nothing of any of the ten mind. It is impossible to set the farmers of the United States on fire by means of any sudden spark of rumor.

In a long fight they are always found sturdily carrying the battle across No-Man's Land in the last grim struggle. The American farmer will give all that he has and all that he is to win this great war against war. This war was at first hard to understand. No armed foe had invaded the United States. The night skies were not reddened by burning ricks and farm houses. No raiding parties robbed us of our cattle or horses. No saber-rattlers insulted our women. It seemed to many of us that we were not at war—the thing was so far off. We did not realize what a giant war had become—a monster with a thousand arms that could reach across the seas and take from us three-fourths of everything we grew. But finally we saw that it was so. If the Imperial German government had made and enforced an order that no American farmer should leave his (This is the first of three articles.) The second to be published next week.* John A.

Koepsel deputies in the district attorney's office, did not use the word nonsense, but what they said was in keeping with Cox's expression. Turck, sentenced to ten days for speeding 58 miles an hour, has taken an appeal to the superior court, which has not "refused to intervene." Mention has been trying to get Turck's attorney down here so that the appeal can be set. Formal notice will be given at once, and if Turck does not appear an officer will go after him. Turck's attempt to get Governor Stephens to pardon him seems to have failed. APPROVES THE PROJECT FOR NEWPORT HARBOR Col. Heuer Thinks We Will Have no Trouble in Getting Government Aid "If you men go ahead and develop the harbor along the plans you have outlined, you will have little or no trouble in getting assistance from the government in time." This in brief is the statement of Col. Heuer, government engineer in charge of the office in San Francisco. Two Men Re-Sentenced: Two men brought back to this county from San Quentin were sentenced. Rufus Acosta found guilty seven months ago of murder in the second degree, was sentenced to San Quentin for ten years. Jim Davis, also known as Jim Gomez, five months ago found guilty of felony in relation to a minor girl, was sentenced to six and a half years in San Quentin. These men were sentenced after the new indeterminate law went into effect. The crimes for which they were tried were committed before the law went into effect. They were sentenced under the new law. The supreme court recently held that a sentence must be in accordance with the law in effect at the time the crime was committed. These two men have been brought back from San Quentin and were sentenced. Others are to follow. Acosta was originally given an indeterminate sentence of from one to ten year. He will be credited with the seven months he has served. Davis, who is the son of Constable W. J. Davis of Compton, was originally sentenced to from one to fifty years. He will be given credit on his new sentence for the five months he has served. SAN JUAN HILL CLIMB The San Juan Hill Climb for Sun- COX DENIES ELKS OFFERED TO ASSIST Says Turck Must Serve His Jail Sentence for Speeding "Nonsense" is the direct manner in which Judge Cox expressed himself when he read a news story in the Los Angeles Examiner. "I saw nothing of Turck, nothing of any of the ten Elks, and heard nothing about any such offer, which is ridiculous on the face of it." Here is the article appearing in the Los Angeles paper. "Ten Damons are more than are usually allowed in a single Pythias story, but Washington I. Turck, president of the California Fish company, who is adjusting his business affairs to permit a ten day sojourn in the Orange county jail, will do his 'time' happy in the knowledge that ten brother Elks offered to serve instead. Turck was nabbed for speeding at San Juan Capistrano recently, when returning to this city on a hurried business trip. Justice Cox heard his plea of guilty and gave him ten days. Turck appealed, but the superior court refused to intervene. Knowing Turck's business affairs needed his personal attention, ten of his friends visited Justice Cox and each offered to serve one day of his sentence. The matter was taken under advisement, but yesterday the justice ordered Turck behind the bars. Turck, no wout on bail, will surrender himself at the Orange county jail in a few days. The ten Elks who wanted to take a day each in durance vile are: Fred Ussler, Herbert H. Rose, Charles D. Little, Bat Santee, Thomas E. Kimberly, "If you men go ahead and develop the harbor along the plans you have outlined, you will have little or no trouble in getting assistance from the government in time." This in brief is the statement of Col. Heuer, government engineer in charge of the office in San Francisco. Heuer will make the report to the government on the Newport harbor instead of Capt. Leeds of the Los Angeles office. It was Capt. Leeds who made a survey of the harbor under employment of the county harbor commission before he wa-sreappointed engineer for this district, and because of this fact it was deemed best to have an outside engineer make the report. Information gathered at the hearing held here some time ago by Leeds will be turned over to Col. Heuer. The latter was here recently and went over the bay at Newport for the purpose of acquainting himself with the condition. He was highly pleased with the fine body of water and the opportunity it offers for making fine land locked harbor at little cost as compared with what has been spent at other places in developing harbors. He was accompanied by Capt. Leeds and the two gentlemen were taken over the bay in a launch by Lew Wallace and others. They went out over the bar and close to the jetty on the ocean side and the San Francisco man expressed the greatest surprise at the results that had been accomplished by the building of the jetty.

EVERY WOMAN CAN HELP NEXT More than 70,000 acres of land in this country has been planted with castor bean plants to produce oil for aircraft. During 12 months the Army hospitals increased from 7 to 63 in number and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added. The air personnel in the first year of war increased from 65 officers and 1,120 men to one hundred times that number. Eleven kinds of schools have been installed.

A. S. BALDWIN (Chairman Woman’s Liberty Loan Committee, Twelfth Federal Reserve District) Now that we are actively in the war and our men are in the front line trenches; are being killed; are being gassed; are being malmed for life, it would seem that every woman in the land should be in the front ranks of the civilian workers to help the men win the war. Each of us has her part to play, however small it may be, and whether it be great or small it is of importance that each shall perform her part to the utmost of her ability. Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some can influence others to buy. Perhaps some can only help by conserving the use of food and clothing and by economizing in household expenditures, thus liberating and augmenting the essentials which must be sent "over there" for the use of our army and for the destitute civilian population of our allies. In whatever way each woman of this Twelfth Federal Reserve District can help, let her do her utmost that we who are farthest from the front may sustain our part of the struggle, and keep for ourselves and our children the blessings and privileges we have inherited, and thus make it possible to win like blessings for the millions who are now in actual bondage. We should not only save to help, but the great lesson to be learned also is to do now without non-essentials and to make sacrifices so that the labor which produces what we consider to be even essentials may be used to aircraft. During 12 months the Army hospitals increased from 7 to 63 in number and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added. The air personnel in the first year of war increased from 65 officers and 1,120 men to one hundred times that number. Eleven kinds of schools have been installed. Several hundred submarine chasers, built since the war, have been delivered to the Navy, by 31 private concerns and 6 navy yards; many of the boats have crossed at Atlantic, some in severe weather. Through a card catalog system 109,487 men have been transferred out of army divisions into technical units to function according to individual educational, occupational, and military qualifications. During the first year of the war the army paid 60 million dollars for horse drawn vehicles and harness; more than 50 million for horses, mules and harness. Expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, for fuel and forage are estimated at more than 500 million dollars. To February 20, the director general of military railways had placed orders for railway supplies valued at 142 million dollars and with an aggregate weight of 754,000 long tons; the general engineer depot, to Feb. 1, issued 9,500 orders for material valued at 202 million dollars. Among the purchases of the quartermaster’s department are 61 million pounds of prunes and dried beans, 273 million cans of tomatoes, condensed milk, and baked beans; 40 million yards of mosquito bar; 75 million yards of olive drab; 20 million woolen blankets; 31 million pairs of woolen drawers; 50 million pairs of heavy stockings; 11 million wool coats. The ordnance program includes the purchase of 23 million hand grenades, 725,000 automatic pistols, 250,000 revolvers, 23 million projectiles for heavy artillery; 427 million pounds of explosives, 240,000 machine guns, and 2½ million rifles.

The aim of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee is to form an organization which shall make the woman in every home in the land realize these conditions and her responsibility, that the message shall not reach her only from one direction, but from many, so that she shall be brought to a full realization of her responsibility. WAR NOTES The annual pay of the army now exceeds $500,000,000. The navy ration in 1917 cost $0.438, as against $0.37684 in 1916. Our 14-inch guns weigh nearly 95 tons and are over 58 feet long, costing $118,000. Our 35,000 ton cruiser, capable of 35 knots, will be the fastest in the world. About 60,000 officers and men are engaged in coast patrol work of the navy. American troops permanently took over a part of the firing line as an American sector in January, 1918. The navy now has in its possession a stock of supplies sufficient for average requirements for one year. Congress has authorized $2,034,000, 000, of which sum $1,135,000,000 has been appropriated, for the United States Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet corporation; on March 1, $353,247,955 of this sum had been expended. The fleet corporation had requisitioned March 1, 425 steel vessels and contracted for 720 steel ships, making a total of 1,145 steel ships, of an aggregate dead weight tonnage of 8,164,508 tons; it had let contracts for 490 wooden vessels, aggregating approximately 1,715,000 dead weight tons it had repaired and put in operation 788,000 dead weight tonnage seized from Germany and Austria. On March 5 the building program of the Emergency fleet corporation was being carried on in 151 plants.
