WOMEN IN TEARS AT RECITAL OF AWFUL STORY HORRORS OF WAR'S BRUTALITY RECOUNTED BY CAPTAIN LOUGHER OF AMERICAN ARMY FRENCH WOMAN INVALIDED HOME WITH CHILD RAPED BY PRUSSIAN OFFICER That the kaiser will demand an indemnity of from 50 to 100 billions of dollars from the United States if he should win this war, was a statement made at the Chautauqua meeting on Thursday afternoon by Capt. E. H. Lougher of the American army, who has recently returned from the front in France. Captain Lougher was detailed to go to France by the American government for the purpose of getting first hand information of the progress of the war and of the brutalities practiced by the Prussian invad- shown the little mound over his grave it was covered with flowers, as the disconsolate woman told him it was to her the most precious spot on earth. A moan of anguish swept through the great audience and hundreds of women were in tears at the awful recital. The speaker said he was at the French border with a French captain whose wife had been taken prisoner by the Germans more than three years before, and who had been invalided home through Switzerland. The French officer held in his arms a child born to his wife by a German officer who had raped her. The woman was in a hospital in a delicate condition. The French officer shed tears at the thought of the awful atrocities committed upon his wife. Lougher was in Italy shortly before coming back to the United States, and saw the wonderful work done by the Italian aviation system. He accompanied one of the Italian flyers over the German line, and said that a German city of 30,000 population had been entirely destroyed by Italian bombs. The Italians are eager to bomb other German cities, and with a sufficient number of aeroplanes at hand they will carry on this work in the not distant future. Caproni, the great Italian aviator, was living in Austria at the outbreak of the war. He was told by the kaiser's government that a gol- The greatest danger now menacing the United States," said Capt. Lougher, "is the German spy system and the German propaganda now existing in this country. The complete subjugation of Russia, and the defeat of the Italians last October, were not brought about by the force of arms, but by the insidious and deadly German propaganda and spy system which reduced the morale of the Russian and Italian troops, which have resulted in the entire subjugation of the Russian government and people, and which came near resulting in the greatest disaster in Northern Italy last winter. This insidious German propaganda is now at work in the United States as well as in England, France and Italy, and is the greatest menace now facing our people. This propaganda must be stamped out with an iron heel, and it is up to the American people to be upon their guard every minute of the day to the end that we may free ourselves, once and forever, of this deadly and insidious menace. Unless internal conditions in the Central powers may be the means of ending the struggle earlier, this war will continue for at least two years longer, but it must continue until the kaiser and his band of militants are utterly crushed an dexterminated." Capt. Lougher was at the front in the battle of Picardy when the German offensive began March 21. He saw the enemy come over the top in wave after wave, along a battle front of many miles, and said he felt like all the men in the world were advancing against the allied lines. These Germans were shot down in awful slaughter. As they came over the top they fell before the allied machine gun and rifle fire, and still wave after wave of the enemy came over the top in seemingly an endless flood of humanity.

These Germans were shot down in awful slaughter. As they came over the top they fell before the allied machine gun and rifle fire, and still wave after wave of the enemy came over the top in seemingly an endless flood of humanity. He saw them lying dead in heaps, and asked a French officer how many dead there were lying in front of them at conclusion of the battle. Lougher said he thought there were 30,000, but the Frenchman replied there were about 25,000 dead. In eight days of the Picardy fight, said Lougher, the enemy lost 500,000 men, and failed to obtain a single one of his objectives. Women were in tears and moaned at the awful recital of barbarities practiced upon the French people by the enemy. In a French town some distance behind the lines, a French woman, whose husband had been killed, showed him the grave of her little son in her yard, which she had decorated with flowers in remembrance of the little one. The Germans came, he said, took the little boy from his mother's arms and hanged him before her eyes. She witnessed her child's struggles, and when these struggles ceased, she was permitted to cut the body down, and she carried it into her home. With mother love filling her breast, she worked over the child for hours, when to her joy the child reeled partially, opened his eyes and called to her, "Mother." In an ecstasy of delight, she found that her boy had been restored to consciousness, when the Germans again entered her house, seized the child, killed him in the street before her eyes, poured gasoline upon him and burned the body to a crisp. She buried the remains in her yard, and when Lougher was wet. He had a piece of a German shrapnel shell which fell on the battlefield near where he was standing. On the voyage to France a German spy was discovered among the passengers. He was reported by wireless to the French secret service. When the vessel made port the man was arrested. In three days he was dead. Major Marr and his company of entertainers gave a very interesting prelude of experiences in the trenches before Ypres. One of the speakers told of the thin Canadian line which was ordered to hold the front during the first gas attack three years ago. As much of a cannonade as was possible was kept up by the Canadians in the one great bluff of the war. The Canadians sought to convey the impression to the Germans that Dominion troops were present in large numbers. The bluff worked, and in subsequent fighting a German general was taken prisoner. When he learned of the true condition of affairs he was furious. The Canadian forces sustained the gas attack, but amid great enthusiasm and hand clapping on part of the large audience, he said the line held. Captain Lougher had the audience with him at the start, and was greeted with long continued hand clapping and applause, as were also the Barrentainers. D. W. McDannald, county lecturer at the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, visited the board of supervisors and discussed the advisability of having an Orange county exhibit at the Liberty Land Show to be held in Los Angeles next October. McDannald stated that he is satisfied that if Orange county enters into the show it can have the finest exhibit in the building. He said that it is his intention to begin right now saving up fine things for the show. Ordinance No. 323 salary ordinance, and of the three deputies month each, was payency measure, to this day. E.

It was ordered that a committee look into the advisability of repairing the old city hall. They are to secure items of cost of these repairs and report to the board. Should the board deem it advantageous and practical the old structure may be renovated and repaired and put in shape for occupancy. The council owing to the high cost of living, gave city employees a raise in salary. FEEDS POTATOES TO HIS STOCK J. W. Walls Glves Interesting Account Of Experience with Middleman John W. Walls raised several hundred sacks of potatoes on his east-side ranch, and recently fed 125 sacks to his stock rather than be made the victim of the rapacious middlemen. Mr. Walls says the national government asks farmers to raise potatoes, and when farmers raise them in large quantities along comes the middleman and slips it over there every time he gets a chance. Potatoes are retailing at $1.90 a hundred, and the other day our fellow townsman was called up by a broker who offered him $1 per hundred for choice selected spuds. These middlemen make the ridiculous statement that consumers would rather buy northern potatoes, and they have imported thousands of carloads of these spuds from the north, while many tons of potatoes in the southern counties are absolutely going to waste. As a matter of fact it is known that householders prefer the southern potatoes, but because of the large importations of northern spuds they have been compelled to buy that product. Mr. Wall says that with foodstuffs of all kinds for stock ranging high and getting higher he cannot afford to sell first FAMOUS LECTURE AT NEW GRAND MONDAY DR.

The doctor has delegated his brother to deliver the speech on the coast, and he has been engaged for the opening of the Red Cross drive in Anaheim on Monday, May 20. Jensen, J. D. R. J. G. R. M.

Plans ican Red wide sent one day is making onstration children dred citi The board instructed Superintendent Hannum of the power house to install meters at his earliest convenience on all electric light connections, including those where the service is furnished public buildings. It was said a number of these places have no meters. The purpose of the board is to ascertain the exact volume of energy used. By that means they will know what the outgo and income amounts to. Through this information should the receipts amount to more than the expenditures of the electric lighting department, the people may reap the benefit by a reduced rate for lights. Ordinance No. 328, forbidding the sale of liquor to drunkards and intoxicated persons, was passed. The same will be found printed in another column, and will take effect in thirty days from date of its passage. Trustee Gibbs led in a discussion of the provisions of the ordinance, and desired that the same be vigorously enforced. It has been said patrons of a cafe have at times become noisy, and while not classed as being intoxicated, create more or less of a nuisance. The ordinance specifies that any person who, through drink, loses the normal use of his bodily or mental faculties, and thus acts in an unbecoming manner, is adjudged to be intoxicated, and should it be proven that a saloon keeper furnished liquor to such person, a fine of $300 will be imposed for first offense and upon a second the license will be revoked. However, upon advice of the city attorney, the trustees have the power to revoke a liquor license, with or without cause. Ordinance No. 329, amending the salary ordinance, and making the pay of the three deputy marshals $75 per month each, was passed as an emergency measure, to take effect in five days. E. R. Werden, manager of the L. A. Paving Co., addressed the board saying he was desirous of retaining the vacant lot at the power plant for purposes of storing his paving equipment, and would pay $10 per month northern potatoes, and they have imported thousands of carloads of these spuds from the north, while many tons of potatoes in the southern counties are absolutely going to waste. As a matter of fact it is known that householders prefer the southern potatoes, but because of the large importations of northern spuds they have been compelled to buy that product. Mr. Wall says that with foodstuffs of all kinds for stock ranging high and getting higher he cannot afford to sell first class potatoes at a dollar a hundred, and he therefore feeds them to his stock. His experience is identical to that of many other potato growers in this section, and it would seem that the time is opportune for the government to look into this job of profiteering on the part of wholesalers and middlemen. Let the food administration turn on the light. LIEUT. LELAND HATFIELD PROMOTED TO CAPTAINCY Sent Back to the United States to Teach in Officers' School George Hatfield received word a few days ago that his brother, Leland, had been promoted to a captaincy and was now in the United States teaching embryo officers how to act. Lieutenant Hatfield was with the American army at the front in France, the last letter, received from him being dated March 25, in which he says: "I am up where the big game is plentiful. I haven’t killed me a bosche yet, but I hope to before they get me—if they are going to. There is not much excitement here now, but I think after the Americans are given a section of the line they will show somebody that they are over here for business. "The rats are sure bad here. They are as big as cats and can make an awful noise when they get to roaming about. I managed to get two today." The day following the receipt of the above another letter came announcing that Lee had been advanced to a captaincy, and was ordered to Fort Sill Oklahoma, where he will teach in the school of arms. REMARKABLE DEED The county has received an unusual, rather remarkable deed. It covers strips of property from Yorba to the sea, and it slides into deeds given as far back as 1688. Although Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis was called east by the government and was compelled to cut short his program on the coast, his famous speech on "German Atrocities" which has done so much to stir up the blood of patriotic Americans will be delivered in Anaheim. The doctor has delegated his brother to deliver the speech on the coast, and he has been engaged for the opening of the Red Cross drive in Anaheim on Monday, May 20. Speaking in the person of Dr. Hillis, who gathered first hand information on the ground, the doctor’s brother will deliver the address at the New Grand theatre at 8 o’clock Monday evening. Fifty pictures taken in battle torn France and Belgium will be thrown on the screen, giving the audience facts about conditions in these unhappy lands after the Hun raids that cannot be pictured in words. Dr. Hillis went to Europe as a special agent of the allied government for the purpose of giving to the people of the United States an accurate record of Hun atrocities, and he is doing it in words and pictures. While he cannot be here in person to present the address, it will be delivered word for word as he has written it. This lecture is given for the benefit of the Red Cross. The admission is 50 cents, and tickets are now on sale at various places. Two hundred and fifty seats will be reserved, and these can be procured at the Mullinix drug store after Friday morning. As the seating capacity of the Grand is only 700, you had better get your ticket early. You will regret it if you fail to see these pictures from devastated France and Belgium, or hear this burning account of the kaiser’s inhuman treatment of the weak and helpless. Next week the people of the United States are going to raise $100,000,000 for the Red Cross. Anaheim's allotment is $16,000, and we expect to raise it. We have shown our patriotism on all other occasions when demands were made of us and we do not intend to be found in the slacker column when the Red Cross makes an appeal for help.

E. R. Werden, manager of the L. A. Paving Co., addressed the board saying he was desirous of retaining the vacant lot at the power plant for purposes of storing his paving equipment, and would pay $10 per month while not in use and $20 per month when engaged in paving operations. Mr. Werden says the equipment is an asset to the city, and is at the disposal of the city when odd jobs of paving are needed. The lot in part may be seeded to growing crops for the benefit of the city, and Mr. Werden says he stands ready to assist the city in every way possible. His request was granted, the contract to begin May 1, and the lease to be of one month's duration, to be terminated at the pleasure of the board. The North American Tuna Canning Co. (Japanese) made application to buy boiler No. 2 at the power plant, agreeing to pay the invoiced price of $900. The board held out for an additional 10 per cent increase since the invoicing, but which latter sum was compromised, cutting it in half, making the price $945, which the purchasers agreed to pay. Last month the Japanese bought a boiler from the city, paying $700. The city still retains one boiler which will be kept on hand for emergency such occasion arise. City Clerk Merritt submitted his annual report which will be found printed in another column. The report is of great interest to every taxpayer and should be carefully read. The report in its original form gives in detail above another letter came announcing that Lee had been advanced to a captaincy, and was ordered to Fort Sill Oklahoma, where he will teach in the school of arms. REMARKABLE DEED The county has received an unusual, rather remarkable deed. It covers strips of property from Yorba to the sea, and it slides into deeds given as far back as 1868. The deed, presented to the board of supervisors Monday by the Stearns Rancho company, is for all interest that that company has in strips of land reserved for road purposes. As deeds were given by Alfred Robinson, trustee for the ranch company, from 1868 on down to the present day, there were reservations made for sixty foot roads at township and section lines and for forty foot roads at quarter section lines. These reservations left title in the ranch company. Since then, whenever a new road was needed to which the county did not have a deed, the ranch company has been called upon to give deeds. The matter has been of considerable annoyance to the ranch company as well as to others. The ranch company decided to give over to the county every right it has in the reservations, and to that end it has offered the county a deed. That deed is a blanket deed. It merely says that to the county it deeds all of its reservations for road, natural stream and ditch purposes. Anahiem has a government food administrator. H. O. Henderson has been appointed to that position. All dealers in foodstuffs must make reports to him on blanks furnished by the administration. Frank N. Gibbs, chairman, 145 So. Vine street. A. B.

Plans have been made by the American Red Cross for the biggest nation wide series of parades ever held on one day and the Anaheim committee is making preparations for a big demonstration here, in which the school children will participate. Fifteen hundred cities and towns are included in the plans which contemplate the participation of more than five million men and women. These parades will be held Saturday, May 18, two days preceding the second Red Cross campaign to raise $100,000,000 for war relief. Red Cross nurses will have the place of honor in the parades. This section will be led by members of state and local committees preceded by banners giving the total number of Red Cross nurses from the particular city or county on active duty with the army and navy, or directly under the Red Cross. A Red Cross nurse bearing a Red Cross service flag with blue stars representing the number on active duty will also precede the uniformed nurses. A number of different uniforms, showing the scope of Red Cross nursing service, will be in line. The nurses in the military hospitals of this country will wear the regulation white uniform with blue cap and Red Cross cap. Those on European service will wear their street uniform—blue serge suit with ulster, dark blue hat and tan shoes. There will also be a service uniform of grey crepe, white collars and cuffs, and Red Cross cap; the rainy day uniform of long rubber coat and hat, the tropicaluniform of pongee suits, panama hat, tan shoes, long blue veil, and the dark blue uniform of the town and country nursing service. After these will come the public health nurses, who are on duty in the zones surrounding the cantonments. Then there will be the nurses on special service who will wear a chevron on their sleeves. They will be followed by the home defense nurses, available for special duties in their home localities. They wear a special Red Cross badge and a white hat, but not the regulation Red Cross uniform. Closing up the nurses' line will be the dieticians including the first old students and the department of Red Cross instruction.

Captain Fallon is an Australian and has fought in the heaviest of the war's battles. He was with the British army in the Gallipoli campaign where his regiment one thousand strang, lost all but 43 of its men. This chapter in his army career, however, was not mentioned in his lecture, his talk being confined to the western front where he fought our enemy, the Hun, beginning at the battle of the Somme. "I am not here," said the Captain, "to tell you what has been related to me by others or to tell you what I have read, but to tell you o'fhe things I myself have seen and experienced. I ca ntestify that the many stories you have read of atrocities committed by German soldiers are not exaggerated. In fact the full truth has never yet been told. I have seen children who could not pick up an implement and work because their hands had been chopped off by the Germans. I have seen children who could not talk because their tongues had been cut out by the Germans. I have seen children who could not see because their eyes had been gouged out by the Germans. All these atrocities are being committed by the beasts the Americans are now going across the sea to fight. I want to know how many in this audience are willing to pledge themselves to the uttermost, to pledge all they possess if necessary in support of the government, and the boys at the front in this war against the beast of Berlin and his horde of assassins." The vote was unanimous. "If there are any pro-Germans here, any persons who sympathize with the kaiser and his soldiers in their hellish work of destruction they had better go back to that damned country. Back east, I observed, they are erecting extra lamp posts on which to hang such people, and I recommend that you follow their example. There should be no slackers among you. You are being asked merely to loan your dollars. Your boys over there don't know when they start over the top whether they are coming back but they do..." The second section of the pageant will be the chapter members, with the women leading. This section will close with a "human Red Cross" in marching line consisting of women forming the Red Cross flag. Those in red head dress will form the cross with others in white Red Cross uniforms making the field. Mothers who have sons at the front or in the army will make up the third section. These women will carry the service flags from the homes whence the American army has been drawn. The fourth will be the military contingent, including the regulars, men in training, and the home defense bodies. The fifth will be a group of sympathetic and affiliated local bodies, such as the junior organizations, including the Boy and Girl Scouts, and school children, and such civic bodies as city officials, boards of trade, and commercial and industrial groups. All the plans for the parade have been completed and directions issued to Red Cross chapters. It is the intention of the Red Cross to make it the biggest project of the kind ever attempted, mustering as many men, women and children into line as possible in the different cities. "The potato has done its bit by us. Shall we not do our bit by it? It's a good soldier. Help it fight the kaiser."
