ANAHEIM GAZETTE "A Great Net of Mercy drawn through an Ocean of Unspeakable Pain" The American Red Cross THE HOPE OF NATIONS A MESSAGE FROM FRANCE Spirit of This War Pictured by French Schoolgirl in Letter Received by John H. Finley. THIS letter is one of the many messages which have been received from the schools of France in response to the messages from American universities and schools, carried to them by John H. Finley, Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the State of New York. It is reproduced here and comes from a pupil in the Lycee Victor Durny in Paris, which he visited last May, and there heard the pupils singing "The Star Spangled Banner" in French and crying in chorus, "Vive l'Amérique." It is doubted if there has been a more graphic or poetic expression of that which separates the men in the opposing trenches or of that which brings America and France together. "It was only a little river, almost a brook; it was called the Yser. One could talk from one side to the other without raising one's voice, and the birds could fly over it with one sweep of their wings. And on the two banks there were millions of men, the one turned toward the other, eye to eye. But the distance which separated them was greater than the stars in the sky; it was the distance which separates right from injustice." "The ocean is so vast that the sea gulls do not dare to cross it." "It was only a little river, almost a brook; it was called the Yser. One could talk from one side to the other without raising one's voice, and the birds could fly over it with one sweep of their wings. And on the two banks there were millions of men, the one turned toward the other, eye to eye. But the distance which separated them was greater than the stars in the sky; it was the distance which separates right from injustice. "The ocean is so vast that the sea gulls do not dare to cross it. During seven days and seven nights the great steamships of America, going at full speed, drive through the deep waters before the light-houses of France come into view; but from one side to the other hearts are touching." The Great American Dollar Has a Great American Heart WILLIAM GERARD CHAPMAN. I am the Great American Dollar. I was born of Toll and Sweat and sired by Human Endeavor. Treasured and trained by Thrift, I grew powerful and competent to perform for my masters the duties of a willing servant. Apprenticed to Industry, I earned wages that repaid my sponsors for their care and self denial. They loved me—not for myself alone, but for what I accomplished for human good, for by tireless labor I smoothed the paths of their lives and the fruits of my energy made sweeter their days. A Sudden Awakening. In piping times of peace I grew self complacent, and, forgetting the Spartan character of my upbringing, became more and more the slave of Luxury. Then suddenly came an awakening. The forces of Good entered into conflict with the Legions of Evil, and battle raged upon the earth. The Land of the Free, where I had my being, entered the great fight that Right might triumph, and Men and Dollars were marshaled to combat the enemy. I chanced to be of those that lingered behind, for I was the mainstay of my masters, but one day the call of the wounded in a far country was heard by them, and they sent me to where the coffers of compassion waited to receive me. There by the alchemy of human sympathy I was transmuted into instruments of aid and relief and healing. Beneath the banner of white bearing a blood red cross I fought the good fight against pain and disease and death that the heroes who fell in the great war of Humanity against the Hun might be comforted and given new life. Comfort for the Wounded. Now, on the thundering battle line in my new identity I minister to the wounded, bringing them from blood soaked ramparts to beds of comfort, giving ease to malmed bodies, relief to limbs writhing in torture, cooling drafts to parched throats. And under my beneficent ministrations the sons of my masters are rescued from agony, the hero youth of the land are restored, or the last hours of the wounded to death robbed of the grisly horror of neglect. The flower of our young manhood go in ever growing hordes to right the world's wrongs. New legions of the Great American Dollar must be marshaled to equip the army that follows—the Red Cross Army that wages its splendid fight against pain and death behind the battle lines. Enlist your dollars to fight under the Red Cross banner, you who would staunch the wounds of those who battle to bring peace and safety to you and yours and your home land—and to the world. For thus is the Great American Dollar ennobled! Let Your Quarters Go Over the Top! Save a little here and a little there—put what you save in economy into WAR SAVINGS STAMPS On Sale Everywhere Ganahl Lumber Company ORANGE COUNTY WILL RAISE MORE BEANS Sixty Five Thousand Acres to be Planted This Year. There will be no less than 10,000 acres more beans planted in Orange county this year than were in beans last year. The total acreage will be not less than 65,000, including limas and blackeyes. Planters have been busy for a week past on the limas, and this week will see a big share of acreage planted. Last year the acreage was estimated at 55,000. All over the county there has been an increase in planting areas. On the Irvine ranch the total will be 25,000, and on the Moulton, O'Neil, Whiting and other ranches to the south of the Irvine ranch there will be a total of probably 8,500 acres this year. In the southwestern part of the county, planting will account for MEXICO URGED TO ENTER THE WAR Warne Nation That Only Friend is America An open letter, addressed to President Carranza, by Teodulo R. Beltran, consul-general of Mexico at San Antonio, published in the newspaper La Defensa, calling upon Carranza to immediately bring about a declaration of war by Mexico against Germany, has caused a stir in official circles of this country. Beltran has long been one of Carranza's most confidential advisers. He has a large following in Mexico. The letter reads in part: The time has arrived to speak plainly and unequivocally. This is our duty. The time for vacillation has passed. The ugly facts must be faced in order that Mexico may redeem herself and maintain her honorable position in the international congress of nations. Planters have been busy for a week past on the limas, and this week will see a big share of acreage planted. Last year the acreage was estimated at 55,000. All over the county there has been an increase in planting areas. On the Irvine ranch the total will be 25,000, and on the Moulton, O'Neil, Whiting and other ranches to the south of the Irvine ranch there will be a total of probably 8,500 acres this year. In the southwestern part of the county bean planting will account for practically all of the land that was planted to sugar beets last year but which did not go to beet sthis year. Planting between fruit and nut trees is heavier this year than last year. With the high prices in sight for the new crop of beans, many fruit growers are turning every available space to beans. Small patches here and there are to be found even in the sections devoted almost exclusively to oranges and lemons. Wherever there are small trees, it has become almost an invariable rule that lima beans are planted. Wherever these beans can be reached with irrigation water, big returns are certain. Ranchers in the dry farming section do not want rain. The tim when rain would have been welcomed by the bean growers has gone by. Two or three weeks ago a half inch of rain would have been hailed with joy. Now a rain would give trouble to the bean men who have their ground in good condition. They would have to work their ground all over again and planting would be delayed. While there is a good deal of barley that would be benefitted by rain, there is a lot that would be harmed. Some hay has been cut, and a lot of it is so high that a rain would cause damage. THE CITRUS MARKETS The situation on Valencias is strengthening, although no materia ladvance in prices has been noted the past week. The markets are rapidly cleaning up on navals and miscellaneous varieties of oranges, and with these eliminated, a stiffening of the Valencia market is anticipated. There are a few cars of miscellaneous yet to move from the foothill districts, but these should get well out of the way in another ten days. Report of Valencia crops picking short of early estimates continue to come in from practically all districts and at total of 600 cars remaining for shipments is generally conceded to be war by Mexico against Germany, has caused a stir in official circles of this country. Beltran has long been one of Carranza's most confidential advisers. He has a large following in Mexico. The letter reads in part: The time has arrived to speak plainly and unequivocally. This is our duty. The time for vacillation has passed. The ugly facts must be faced in order that Mexico may redeem herself and maintain her honorable position in the international congress of nations. Mr. President Carranza, Mexico is facing a tragic moment—perhaps more tragic and more painful than any heretofore experienced by our unfortunate country. The sacred obligation of safeguarding the honor of Mexico and her material interests rests on your shoulders and of those associated with you. There is still time, Mr. President, but the time is rapidly diminishing. Only the promptest action can offset the impression of unfriendliness (in the United States) caused by the pro German propagandists in Mexico. It is in your power and your power only to change as if by magic, the very delicate and dark international situation now confronting Mexico. It is also opportune to tell you, Mr. President, that if Mexico should become another martyred Belgium, that if our country without war material to defend itself should be overrun by a more powerful country than Germany, posterity will have no words of absolution for you, because this sacrifice will only be the result of political intrigue with no beneficial results for the future of our poor country, which expected so much from the revolution which placed you in power. In this war neutrality means fraternizing with crime, if not actually condoning it; it means a heart bereft of horror at the atrocities and butcheries of the Germans. Neutrality, as it is understood in Mexico, means pro-Germanism. But if it should occur that the practical and true meaning of the word "neutrality" should be attained in Mexico, then Mexico could not be neutral. The moment is ripe to ask: "If this war should invade America, is Mexico expecting the German submarines to bring to her shores all the elements necessary to prosecute the two fold purpose of defending her dismantled and defenseless coasts and at the same time combating the great armies that would attack her?" Most assuredly not. Neither could ing up on navals and miscellaneous varieties of oranges, and with these eliminated, a stiffening of the Valencia market is anticipated. There are a few cars of miscellaneous yet to move from the foothill districts, but these should get well out of the way in another ten days. Report of Valencia crops picking short of early estimates continue to come in from practically all districts and at total of 600 cars remaining for shipments is generally conceded to be about right. F. O. B. Prices are on a basis of around $5 to $5.10, depending upon sizes. The splendid eating quality of the navals continue to meet the approval of the trade and the values are being firmly maintained at averages ranging from $3.75 to $5 per box in eastern auction centers. The market on miscellaneous varieties of oranges has shown no material change the past week. Central California districts have practically wound up their Valencia shipments with the exception of a block of from 50 to 100 cars that are being held for late shipment. The market on lemons continues in good shape with prices in middle markets ranging from $5 to $5.50 delivered. Eastern markets are about 50 cents lower. The demand is good with the exception of southern markets, which have shown a little easier tendency owing to the influence of supplies of foreign lemons, which are selling low. The city trustees are patriotic and have given orders to have a flag pole embedded in the state highway, at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets, from which the Stars and Stripes will be unfurled to the breezes. "Potatoes are local patriots." Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hessel report the arrival of a new daughter at their home in Los Angeles.
