The kaiser has at the present time between 240 and 250 divisions, of which about 200 are on the western front. Since the beginning of the March offensive he has used 140 divisions. Some of these, after being withdrawn, have been thrown into the fight a second time, which makes the aggregate number of divisions used in the offensive about 186. Of the remaining 60 divisions 10 are of inferior quality and there remain only 50 fresh divisions for another assault. It is estimated that the enemy losses on the western battle front since March 21 are conservatively 400,000 men. Estimates of the kaisers' losses run much higher than these figures, but it is safe to say his losses may be safely placed at this number. In advanced depots behind the line he has 200,000 men, and in other depots and cantonments 450,000. These men are not formed into divisions, but are maintained to replace wastage in divisions at the front. Added to these men are 450,000 boys of the class of 1920, who cannot possibly get into Barbara county has fully lived up to her very estimable record of both the first and second loans and Orange county has made a record that she may well be proud of. The city of Hollywood has earned the distinction of obtaining the largest over subscription of their quota, of any community with a population of over 10,000. Their over subscription is nearly four hundred per cent. San Gabriel is foremost of any community with nearly seven hundred per cent over subscription with five hundred subscribers out of a total population of 1,200 people. The wonderful success attained in the city of Los Angeles is attributed to the untiring work of the different organizations and finally to the patriotic services and the co-operation rendered to every branch of the work by the banks of Los Angeles city and by their employees. The people of Los Angeles will probably never fully realize the great indebtedness which they owe to the banks of this community. WALKING ELLIOTT'S BULLET PROVES FATAL TO YOUNG La Habra Blacksmith Passes Away at His Home Sunday The body of Eugene Young, who died at his home in La Habra Sunday afternoon, was brought to Backs & Terry's parlors where an inquest was held Monday morning by Coroner Winbigler. A jury composed of L. E. Miller, J. H. Whitaker, J. L. Swope, F. A. Dyckman, L. R. Wilson and H. L. Wilkins, was empaneled, and after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict to the effect that Eugene Young came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted on April 10, 1918, by a 32-callibre automatic pistol in the hands of Benjamin W. Elliott. Repairs: Repair Cypress Ave. (17 sks cmt) ... Rapair Placentia A. (7 sks cmt) ... Work on division g Same on Main cann Same, Sec. 2 ... Clean ditches ... Truck driver and I Water pumper ...

Estimates of the kaisers' losses run much higher than these figures, but it is safe to say his losses may be safely placed at this number. In advanced depots behind the line he has 200,000 men, and in other depots and cantonments 450,000. These men are not formed into divisions, but are maintained to replace wastage in divisions at the front. Added to these men are 450,000 boys of the class of 1920, who cannot possibly get into the fighting for at least six months. If we subtract the enemy losses from the 650,000 men in reserve, we find he has 250,000 men in reserve to replace wastage in divisions in a second defensive. To this must be added probably 150,000 men out of the 400,000 casualties, who will probably later on again see service. Thus the kaiser will have a total of 400,000 men for his offensive this summer. If he should lose as many men as he has since March 21 his reserves will be entirely exterminated, and he will face inevitable defeat. Washington advises are to the effect that the American army in France now numbers more than 700,000. In another month we shall have nearly a million Americans in France, and by October a half million more. The kaiser may engage in one more major offensive action, but if his losses equal those in the past six weeks of fighting his will be inevitably pierced, and he must fact inevitable defeat. RECORD TO BE PROUD OF The results, as shown by the tabulations of the Third Liberty loan demonstrate without question that Southern California as a whole is thoroughly alive to the fact that this nation is at war. We have been criticised severely in the past for not knowing this fact or at least for not giving the heartiest support to the various war activities and war issues generally. On he first and second Liberty Loan campaigns it was the general feeling throughout the entire country that the rural districts were less alive to the real conditions than were the metropolitan communities, as shown primarily by the returns of the bond issues. It was generally felt that the farmer had not realized his full duty in subscribing to bonds and a considerable lot of adverse criticism resulted. It is a very interesting point of fact afternoon, was brought to Backs & Terry's parlors where an inquest was held Monday morning by Coroner Winbigler. A jury composed of L. E. Miller, J. H. Whitaker, J. L. Swope, F. A. Dyckman, L. R. Wilson and H. L. Wilkins, was empaneled, and after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict to the effect that Eugene Young came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted on April 10, 1918, by a 32-calibre automatic pistol in the hands of Benjamin W. Elliott, with intent to kill. Young was shot during a patriotic demonstration at La Habra on April 10, by "Walking" Elliott while attempting to compel him to kiss the flag after Elliott had refused to purchase a bond and had made seditious remarks. He was brought to the Anaheim sanitarium where, after an examination, the physicians pronounced his wound a fatal one. He was afterward removed to his home, but lingered until Sunday. Elliott resisted arrest after the shooting and was himself shot twice by Constable Harry Ashley, but not seriously injured. He was removed to jail after his recovery at the county hospital. His examination will be held Tuesday, May 14. The body of Young was moved to his home after the inquest, the funeral being held at St. Mary's church Fullerton Tuesday. A military service was also held at the home following the church service, at which representatives of various patriotic societies were present. ANAHEIM INDUSTRY INCREASING CAPACITY Popularity of White Ribbon Compels Improvements at Brewery Under the new management the Union Brewing Company is no longer merely a brewery, but a manufacturing plant comprising many new departments. Changed conditions in the brewing business have brought about these improvements and betterments. The closing of the saloons in Los Angeles created a largely increased demand for Anaheim White Ribbon Beer, the only real beer with the alcohol taken out that is manufactured in California, so this department is now running two shifts per day and unable to promptly fill orders and larger machinery is being constructed. To take care of the alcohol taken from the White Ribbon a still was put in and a new department created for Available cash May Expenditures: Snow Mfg. Co. Petroleum Co. Cal. Port, Cement Co.

It was generally felt that the farmer had not realized his full duty in subscribing to bonds and a considerable lot of adverse criticism resulted. It is a very interesting point of fact on the Third Liberty loan that the rural communities, from one end of the country to the other, were the first to subscribe their quotas, and indications now are that the percentage of oversubscriptions by the rural districts will be much greater than the over subscription of the country as a whole. Among the foremost of the country communities will be Southern California counties, which will show very close to one hundred per cent oversubscription as a whole of the quota allotted to them and at the same time make a most enviable record in regard to the number of subscribers. Ventura county is at the top of the list in Southern California with about two hundred and seventy five per cent subscription, obtained in less than three days after the opening of their campaign. San Diego county, exclusive of the city of San Diego itself, is second with two hundred and forty per cent or better subscription and Los Angeles county is third, with nearly two hundred per cent subscription, leaving out the city of Los Angeles. The results attained in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, due to existing conditions there, are without doubt second to none in the country Imperial and Inyo counties have both done nobly in their campaign. Santa The closing of the saloons in Los Angeles created a largely increased demand for Anaheim White Ribbon Beer, the only real beer with the alcohol taken out that is manufactured in California, so this department is now running two shifts per day and unable to promptly fill orders and larger machinery is being constructed. To take care of the alcohol taken from the White Ribbon a still was put in and a new department created for the manufacture of denatured alcohol for use in the arts and manufactures; and for heat, power, etc. Realizing the extreme need of an ice and cold storage plant for Anaheim this too has been added and pure distilled water ice will be furnished the citizens at moderate prices as will also cold storage for all sorts of products.

Sam Kreamer of Placentia was a visitor in town a few days ago, coming in to look after his business interests in this city. C. C. Willis of the A.R.G stage line was in town Thursday on a business mission. He is seeking an Anaheim franchise for a line from Los Angeles to San Diego. Mrs. J.L.Van der Veer went down to San Diego Thursday in response to a message notifying her of the death of an aunt. Roy Charleston was up from Camp Kearny visiting friends Friday and Saturday, having a couple of days' leave. Mart Hopper, another Kearny boy was also here for a day or two.

A. Dickel has just received a letter from the trenches in France, written by Sheldon Hickox, a former employee, who is now at the front. The letter is dated "On active service with The American Expeditionary Forces, France, April 10," and reads in part as follows: Just a few lines to let you know that I received the comfort kit and also found the little note that you wrote. I was very pleased to receive it and I want to thank you a thousand times and ask of you to thank the other members of the chapter also. That message notifying her of the death of an aunt.

Attorney Fayette Lewis of Los Angeles, was in town Saturday. He was transacting legal business at the court house and shaking hands with old friends in Anaheim. Fayette already has a splendid law practice in the city, and is climbing upward. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Goble and children have returned to Santa Ana from Santa Barbara to make their home.

Mr. Goble was formerly city editor of the Blade and for the past six months has been doing repertorial work on the Morning Press at Santa Barbara. Vic La Mont and Ernie Davis spent a day last week firing in Little Bear. It was too windy for good fishing, consequently their catch was not heavy, but Davis landed a 22-inch trout, the largest that has been caught in the lake this season. ragged tree stumps, standing like lone sentinels. At night when the star shells are shot out every thing is lighted as bright as day, then when they go out the darkness is only intensified until the eyes grow accustomed to it.

F. 117 Reg. Engrs. RED CROSS PLEDGES In addition to the lists already made public the following pledges have within the past few days been made to the Red Cross. These sums are paid monthly during the duration of the war: L. Z. Hunntigton $1, A. Nagel $5, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shaney $5, Dr. H. A. Johnston $5, Drs. Bingham & Bingham $5, Fannie Woodard $1, Mrs. D. J. Donnelly $1, Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Schmelzer $2, Mrs. Johanna Strodthoff $1, Mrs. Lydia Duff, $1, Mrs. F. N. Gibbs $1, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blair, $1, M. J. Brodley $1, Mr. Shikawa $1 When the Victory led the British fleet into action at Tragalgar, she did not fire a single gun until she lay within ten yards of the stern of the French Bucentaure. When Beatty picked up the German cruiser squadron on the Dogger bank in January, 1915, he opened fire from his leading ship upon the tail end of their line at 20,000 yards—eleven and a half miles. Today the Germans are filing shells into Paris from a gun which is at least 75 miles distant, and whose maximum range is estimated by experts at 94 miles—165,440 yards! So far, at all events, there is nothing at all striking about the new German weapon except its range. Its calliber is but 9.5 inches as compared—among some of Krupp's productions with 15 inch naval guns, 16 inch fortress guns, and 17.7 inch howitzers, and its shell has to be so thick presumably to withstand the violence of the shock with which it is propelled from the gun that it is able to carry but a very small burster in comparison with its size. It is the burster, or high explosive charge the shell contains, that is the principal factor in its destructiveness, for the heavier this is he greater will be the number of pieces into which the shell will burst. There is no good reason, so far as we can tell at the moment, why the Germans should not do with a far heavier gun what they are now doing with a relatively small one. Assuming they have discovered a propelling power of unusual energy, the rest is simply a matter of building a gun strong enough to withstand the explosion of the necessary charge. On the other hand it is quite possible that there is no charge at all. A few years ago an inventor claimed to have discovered a method of discharging projectiles at enormous speeds and over terrific distances by means of electro magnetism, and one of the most curious features of the whole thing was that the shell never touched the sides of the bore while traveling down the gun, being held suspended in a perfectly central position, and so escaping all friction except with the atmosphere. Apart from wireless, it is extraordinary what an insignificant part electricity has played so far in war, but the Germans do not seem to have adopted this idea, for the usual copper driving bands (to engage the riffling of the gun and give the shell a rotating movement) have never been constructed or owned by anyone.

When we are on the go so much we have to muss our clothes quite a bit as the supply officer can not always get all the necessary sizes, then we sure do ply the needles. I suppose that you would like to know something of what we are doing. Of course I can't say much but I might tell a little of our stay in the trenches which we had just finished when I received the package. Our first part of the stay was quiet enough just a few shells bursting around, then the Germans tried a little funny stuff and were hurriedly repulsed by our boys and artillery. The boys all did great, and they sure let the Kaiser know what a Yank can do. I also had the opportunity to observe the field while it was exposed to quite a stiff bombardment. It was certainly a great sight and also noisy. I took many a look at what is designated as No Man's Land and found it with enough tangled barbed wire on it to fence the whole country. It is one great mass from front line to front line.

Deputy Marshal De Witt says the other day he had occasion to pass a farmer's ranch, not a thousand miles from the corner of the Garden Grove road and Broadway, where a dairy is maintained. One of the best rations fed to dairy cows is a mixture of beet pulp and other ingredients, it being a good milk producer. Anybody who has ever had a whiff of beet pulp knows from experience that the odor is not as sweet as the rose. De Witt says he can testify to that as he has been up against it. Strange to relate a number of witnesses in the recent trial of the sewer farm case, testified that when journeying along the Garden Grove road and West Broadway they had encountered odors that were very offensive, and in their opinion they believed they came from the sewer farm, which is located nearly a mile southeast from that point. Deputy Marshal De Witt has been wondering whether or not the beet pulp cow feed did not have something to do in creating these offensive odors. Maybe so.
