ORANGE COUNTY GERMANS CONDEMN DISLOYALTY Lutheran Patriotic League Demands Swift Punishment for Sedition The following resolution was adopted at a recent meeting of the American Lutheran Patriotic League of Orange county: Whereas, a number of inhabitants and citizens, of German descent, in Chicago, Ill., have in private society and in their clubs participated in the celebration of recent German victories in France, thereby making themselves guilty of gross disloyalty and treason against our flag and beloved country; and Whereas, no nation can dare tolerate such a challenge of its enemies within its borders, but must mete out swift and severe punishment to them for its own protection; and Whereas, it is one of the objects of this league "to curb all activities and utterances which tend to obstruct the successful prosecution of the present war;" therefore be it Resolved, that "The American Lutheran Patriotic League of Orange County, California" emphatically condemns such disloyalty and treasonable activity of said citizens of Chicago, Ill. Resolved that the league requests of our national department of justice to mete out swift and just punishment to all and every one guilty of such said disloyalty and treason; and be it further Resolved, that the secretary be instructed to forward a copy of these resolutions to the Attorney General of the United States, duly signed and certified; Resolved that the secretary also furnish the local press with a copy of the resolutions.

THANKS THE GAZETTE Editor Gazette:— Dear Sir: At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Cemetery association, on motion duly made and seconded, I was instructed by said board to express to you their appreciation and sincere thanks for your kind assistance rendered the said association by publishing the memorial cut and calling the attention of the public to the needs of the cemetery. Very respectfully yours, M. NEBELUNG, Secretary. NEW FOSSIL REMAINS FOUND IN CALIFORNIA CAVE Discoveries of new fossil remains of animals dating from the glacial period are described by Chaster Stock, research assistant in palaeontology at the University of California in a university geological publication just issued, entitled "The Pleistocene Fauna of Hawver cave." The fossil bones were found during excavation at the Hawver cave near Auburn in Eldorado county, and include representatives of the sabre tooth tiger, ground sloth, bison and mastodon. The assemblage of entombed animals from the cave resembles somewhat that found in the famous asphalt pits of Southern California, and shows the wide distribution of giant sloths, sabre tooth tigers and other forms during the Pleistocene in California. Human remains were also found in the cave, but the studies of Prof. J. C. Merriian of the university show that these are not to be associated in age with the Pleistocene animals and be TOO BUSY TO TALK POLITICS: T. L. McFadden has decided to turn a deaf ear to the urging of his friends and will not be a candidate for the office of district attorney, says the Placentia Courier. He is too busy winning the war. Mr. McFadden is chairman of the Red Cross drive for the Fullerton district, and has charge of the war saving societies in this end of the county. He is also organizing the district for the establishment of permanent patriotic fund. Besides these duties he practices law "on the side," and has a ranch which he is supposed to take a look at once in a while. He believes that the war is more important than anything else just now and will devote to it the time and money that a political campaign would require. While Tom's friends will regret his decision, for he would make a good official, they are bound to admire the spirit that prompts it. P. E. and S. F. Lock Horns:— In these days of government control of railroads, even, there is trouble, more or less, between the public carriers of freight and passengers. The Pacific Electric Railway company started to build from Laon Junction across the great Bastanchury ranch to Fullerton early last summer. About that same time the Santa Fe company started the construction of what is known as the Bastanchury branch of its line from a point about three miles west of Fullerton station across the Bastanchury lands to the new large packing house of the Bastanchury Ranch company. But the Pacific Electric was too speedy for the Santa Fe and had its road constructed first; then when the Santa Fe came along it was not allowed to cross the Pacific Electric tracks. This predicament forced the steam company to appeal to the board of state railroad commissioners, which bison and mastodon. The assemblage of entombed animals from the cave resembles somewhat that found in the famous asphalt pits of Southern California, and shows the wide distribution of giant sloths, sabre tooth tigers and other forms during the Pleistocene in California. Human remains were also found in the cave, but the studies of Prof. J. C. Merriian of the university show that these are not to be associated in age with the Pleistocene animals and belong to the Recent period. U. S. WANTS NEWS PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR SIGNAL CORPS Newspaper photographers who can offer evidence of actual experience in their line of work are wanted immediately by the government, according to a telegram from Washington, received at the University of California. The men selected will be inducted into the service immediately, and will be sent to a training school in the east, where they will be fitted for sergeancies, and prepared to be sent to France as soon as they prove their qualifications. Three letters of recommendations must bear out the applicant's statement as to actual photographic experience. The men who are accepted will be attached to the photographic division of the signal corps. All those interested should get into early communication with the military bureau of the university at the office of the alumni secretary, room 114 California Hall, Berkeley, where they will be given full information.

Lamb completed his monthly settlement with the county treasurer. It was quite a sizable transaction. For the month of April Lamb turned in to the county the su mof $424,071.67 of which $419,784.94 was for usual collections. In addition to that Lamb turned in amounts as follows: Garden Grove lighting district, $2,986.60; initial fees for additions to Talbert drainage district, $762.50; Fullerton sewer district, $82.08; Laguna sanitary district, $10.55. Since the Laguna district has been attacked in court, but few of the property owners paid the district tax. Garden Grove storm water district taxes will not go delinquent until Jan. 1, 1919, but the district is urging early payment by property owners so that there will be ample money for river improvement work this summer. Lamb has collected several thousand dollars before April for that district. Replenishes Treasury: Thursday morning County Tax Collector J. C.

THANKS Los Angeles Gazette Anaheim, CA Gentlemen: On behalf of ment of the T want to extend for your liberal mittee during The fact that went over the ta is due, in auous cooperation Your Disc "The potato, otism, should triotism." Considering New Ordinance:— District Attorney L. A. West and some of the city attorneys of this county are considering the advisability of passing ordinances against sedition. Last Week the district attorney and City Attorney W. R. Garrett of Ornge held a telephone conversation over the matter, and each expressed himself as anxious to take steps for such legislation as is found necessary. "If the proposed legislation by congress is put through," said District Attorney West, "no legislation by the county and cities will be necessary. From what I have seen of the measure under consideration at Washington, I am satisfied that the federal law will be adequate and strong enough to reach any and all cases of sedition. I am writing to Congressman Kettner today, asking that he keep me informed upon the situation. Should the federal law not cover the ground, we can then very quickly pass county and city ordinances." Joy Riders Take Machine:— Henry Beyerbach of Fulletron left his car in front of an Anaheim hotel Saturday evening about 8 o'clock. At 9:30 it was missing. He notified the Anaheim city marshal. Monday afternoon the car was found parked on East Orangethorpe avenue, near East street. The car was uninjured and coats and wraps in same were not missing. The taking of the car was probably the act of boys. Mr. Beyerbach says according to the amount of gas left in the car it was probably run some 60 or 70 miles. Mr. Beyerbach, who has been derick man for the Head Drilling company, will leave Wednesday for San Pedro to join the navy, having enlisted some time ago in the naval reserve. He has been a resident of Fullerton for nine years. CANTEEN WORKERS CATER TO POILU’S APPETITE FOR OYSTERS AND SALADS Eleanor Robson Belmont, Home From Europe, Tells of Her Unbounded Faith In the Red Cross. By ELEANOR ROBSON BELMONT. WHEN I left for Europe a few months ago I had no cast iron reverence for the Red Cross. When I returned from Europe I brought home with me unbounded belief in the organization. I had seen enough to make me realize that this was the best method of serving the soldiers and sailors. We are waging an economic war. Therefore the surest and most effective way to help is through the established channels selected for that purpose by the government. The main work of the American Red Cross, however, is, of course, carried in France. The policy of those seeding this work is to back up the French in their own efforts and to help them develop along their own lines, not to root out French institutions and transplant American ones. Whether we work then in canteens huts used for this purpose are little alleys marked "Paris," "Dijon," or "Lyons." These little alleys are laid out with bunks filled with sleeping men. If a pollu is going to Paris, he throws himself down in the Paris bunk, serene in the knowledge that he will be called in time for the Paris train. In some of the canteens the lights have to be dimmed on account of aeroplanes. Often the lights are covered with colored muslin shields which make a rosy glow that is very home-like. One of the canteens has been decorated by some of the best camouflage artists in France, who have taken great delight in covering the walls and even the ceiling with their pictures. The canteens are open day and night for the benefit of the men at the big junction points. Do More Than Feed Men. Labor Shortage Delays Work: Owing to labor conditions, the chances are that the paving of the Santa Ana canyon road above Sulphur Slide will not be completed before July 1. The county abs completed a bypass at Sulphur Slide, where the road was washed out this spring, and so far as that particular part of the canyon is concerned vehicles can get by without difficulty. The by pass will be in good shape within a day or two. It is in fair shape now. However, the county's part of opening the canyon road to travel is but a small part of the difficulty. It is above Sulphur Slide that the delay is being caused. The contractor, Miller of Corona, has about 1000 feet of the paving completed, but there is a lot more to be done. He has had an endless amount of trouble getting laborers. He has had his crew filled up a number of times, but each time the workers have been attracted elsewhere. Labor conditions are such that Miller cannot make rapid progress. Should he manage 'to get a full crew and keep it, the paving would be done and the road opened earlier than July 1. As things have been going, however, the contractor will do well to finish by July 1. There is no delay by reason of the damage done at Sulphur Slide. Buster Callan a Benedict: Forrest Callan and Miss Selma Salveson were united in marriage on Wednesday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Salveson of 410 East Chapman avenue, Fullerton, Rev. Howard C. Clark, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Only relatives of the bride and the groom were present at the ceremony. Immediately following the tieing of the knot the young couple left on a motor trip to Santa Babara and will be away about a week. When they return they will be at home on ELEANOR ROBSON BELMONT, the devastated districts, for the children or for the aged, it is always on the same plan of backing up the French if they have any organization or plan. Pollus Like Oysters and Salad. The canteen work is one of the most gratifying ways of helping the men. To see those pollus enjoying the first delicacies they have had for days is a soul-satisfying sight. The English and French maintain canteens where they dispense soup, hot coffee and cocoa, tobacco, chocolate, etc., but the American Red Cross canteens serve real dinners at cost or under. The pollus are inordinately fond of oysters and salad; when they can order a plate of oysters or a dish of salad in an American canteen they are as happy as children. We have six canteens in the French zone for the French army—France is, of course, divided into zones. In one line of communication canteen we serve from 4,000 to 8,000 a day. These canteens are near In some of the canteens the lights have to be dimmed on account of aeroplanes. Often the lights are covered with colored muslin shields which make a rosy glow that is very home-like. One of the canteens has been decorated by some of the best camouflage artists in France, who have taken great delight in covering the walls and even the ceiling with their pictures. The canteens are open day and night for the benefit of the men at the big function points. Do More Than Feed Men. The women in the canteens do more than feed the men, however, important as that is. Pollus leaving their families are naturally depressed and need sympathetic listeners. Some one to admire his wife's picture, some one to laugh over the baby's latest sign of genius, some one to tell him that the oldest boy is the image of his handsome father—this is as real a need in the pollu's life as salad or soup. In fact the presence of these fine women is such an influence for good that officers say the morale of the army is distinctly higher wherever the canteens are. This causes great rivalry among the canteen workers. Each one wants her canteen to be the best and most popular in the service. Besides this direct, personal service to the soldiers the Red Cross is doing a kind of John the Baptist work with dispensaries. We have fifteen dispensaries scattered through districts where war has been or is likely to be. France had mobilized 18,000 of her 24,000 physicians, leaving about 6,000 for the whole of civilian France. Sometimes you will find one old doctor taking care of several villages with no means of transportation except occasionally an aged, overworked horse. Here is a chance for the Red Cross to step in and help. There is a syndicate of physicians to which the Red Cross applies to find out if a certain village has a medical adviser; if not we establish a center and operate in a given section around the center. Bathing a Luxury. A Red Cross doctor and nurse go out regularly to the villages in their section. Each village is informed when they are coming so that all who want medical advice or treatment can meet together in one spot and save unnecessary calls. Of course, if any one is too ill to come to the doctor, the doctor goes to him. The nurses carry among other things shower baths for babies. In many regions of France, owing to lack of facilities, bathing is a luxury, so the supervision has grown up that it is dangerous. Now since the mothers are convinced that their children will be neither killed nor injured, but on the contrary benefited by baths, how they do look forward to them! After all this inspiring activity of the Red Cross on the other side, romantic spite of the drudgery and THE RED CROSS By EDGAR A. GUEST. I AM too old to share the fight; Too many years have come and gone Since first I saw the morning light. My youth has been and traveled on, I am too old to join the line, Far-flung today that truth shall live; I may not die for what is fine, But I am not too old to give. I am not yet so old that I Have drifted from the world apart I still can hear the helpless cry, And mercy still can reach my heart. I still can share from day to day The burden that our youth must bear, And I thank God that I can say The Red Cross is my symbol there. I am too old to bear a lance, Across the shell-torn Flanders' field I may not go where troops advance And death's grim terrors are revealed; But I can hear the helpless call, And I can serve them while I live; And I thank God that through it all I shall not be too old to give. WHAT IS BEER? The Pure Food Commission defines Beer as a Beverage made from selected Malt, Rice and Hops, thoroughly fermented, aged and finished and containing from 3 to 4 per cent of alcohol. ANAHEIM WHITE RIBBON is made exactly this way and then the alcohol is taken out by patent process that does not disturb or change the chemical construction of the beer in any way except that the alcohol is gone, making it the only true temperance beer. WHAT IS “NEAR” BEER? Near beer, or so-called cereal beverages, are generally concoctions or compounds made one day and sold the next and composed of sweetened water, gum arabic, salt, quassia bark and sometimes a pinch of malt and hops thrown in by the maker to ease his conscience a little. WHICH WILL YOU PUT IN YOUR STOMACH? SOUTH NEEDS SCHOOL The need of a separate state university for Southern California, an institution connected with and yet distinct from the university at Berkeley has long been recognized by many of the state's educators. California is a huge state, especially in its north to south measurements, and Berkeley is a long distance for students from below the Tehachepi to be compelled to travel to enjoy the university's educational facilities. The South, too, contributes so large a proportion of the money raised for state educational purposes that times. Thus, says the United States department of agriculture, there is ample room for expansion of both the production and consumption. The present use of honey in the home usually is as a substitute for jellies, jams and syrup. It is little used in domestic cooking or baking, but this use is being urged by the government as an effective means of helping overcome the sugar shortage. While honey within recent years has sold at prices sufficiently low to justify its use as a substitute for sugar, it has been rarely used in commercial food manufacturing except in the making the canteens do more work, however, import bullus leaving their really depressed and distressed.

Inspiring activity of the other side, rooftop drudgery and city for Southern California, an institution connected with and yet distinct from the university at Berkeley has long been recognized by many of the state's educators. California is a huge state, especially in its north to south measurements, and Berkeley is a long distance for students from below the Tehachepi to be compelled to travel to enjoy the university's educational facilities. The South, too, contributes so large a proportion of the money raised for state educational purposes that there can be no question as to this section's right to demand the expenditure of the amount of money necessary to establish a university in this part of California. And because Southern California rivals in population and material wealth the northern end of the state, the university established here should be as complete in every way as that at Berkeley. This, of course, is hardly the time to be talking of spending state funds for any project that does not have some bearing on the war, notwithstanding the attitude of the forty fat commissions at Sacramento on this question, and the Times is not advocating the establishment of a new state university in Southern California while the war is on. In the citrus experiment station at Riverside, however, there now exists the nucleus of what should eventually be an important division of this great university, and there is nothing in the war situation to prohibit the enlargement and expansion of this embryo university farm at this time. The agricultural colleges of the country are performing a wonderful service for the government by their encouragement of better and more efficient methods in farm production, and there is every reason to believe that Uncle Sam would welcome any move that promised to help increasing the food production in this most naturally favored agricultural region in the United States. It will take a long time, naturally, to get the Riverside school on anything like the same basis as that at Davis, but that is no reason why the start can not be made now. A good beginning, in fact, has been made, for the citrus experiment station does most thorough work as far as it goes, and is housed in a plant that is modern in every respect. To convert the station into an agricultural college meeting the requirements of this section involves only the question of adding new departments and enlarging the facilities. The institution will grow rapidly enough if the state will give it a chance, the attendance at the production and consumption. The present use of honey in the home usually is as a substitute for jellies, jams and syrup. It is little used in domestic cooking or baking, but this use is being urged by the government as an effective means of helping overcome the sugar shortage. While honey within recent years has sold at prices sufficiently low to justify its use as a substitute for sugar, it has been rarely used in commercial food manufacturing except in the making of certain cakes which must be kept moist for a considerable time. Usually, however, it is pointed out, the supply of honey is so inadequate that most of the crop can be used as a spread for bread. With the use limited as it is, many people in the United States rarely eat honey, but food administration officials are convinced that there might be developed a ready sale for honey as a supplement to sugar, if production were increased many times. Better and more careful methods upon the part of many experienced bee keepers are advocated as one means of increasing the nation's production of honey. Uncle Sam is also hopeful that many more persons all over the country will take up bee keeping and thereby add to America's resources of sweets. All who now have apiaries are asked to speed up their bees and thousands of farmers and suburban farmers who have not yet added honey to their crops are urged to get acquainted with the possibilities of this industry. And the sooner the honey yield of the country is increased, the better it will be for Uncle Sam. What the government is really hoping for, in fact, is that the annual honey crop may be increased many times over. Agricultural department officials go so far as to declare that it is possible to develop the yield to ten times its present proportions. They say that such a development would not only be of great assistance to the country in the present emergency but that it is justified on a strictly business basis, not only now but for the future. They point out that the use of honey can be and is being increased as people become aware of the many purposes to which it is adapted. Beekeeping, they point out, is a means to conserving and utilizing natural resources now largely wasted. Raw material, in the form of nature's own stored sweets is on every hand, the bee industry requiring only a com- The university proper should be in Los Angeles, the metropolis being the logical place for academic, scientific medical and other departments connected with the regular university work, even as Riverside is well situated for an agricultural college. With a university of such scope, Southern California would be given a new impetus to progress in every line. And that impetus is so far as agriculture is concerned need not be delayed if only Southern California will make a sufficiently forceful representation of its neds, desires and rights to the state at large.—L. A. Times. "Potatoes are local patriots." HONEY FOR EVERYBODY The avrage annual honey crop of the United States is about 250,000,000 pounds and is sufficient to supply each man, woman and child with about two and one half pounds a year, which is equivalent to 3 per cent of the amount of sugar they consume in nor- They point out that the use of honey can be and is being increased as people become aware of the many purposes to which it is adapted. Bee-keeping, they point out, is a means to conserving and utilizing natural resources now largely wasted. Raw material, in the form of nature's own stored sweets is on every hand, the bee industry requiring only a comparatively small investment for equipment. Best of all, say the department men, bee keeping is an industry than can be conducted as a side line to other agricultural pursuits. Agricultural colleges, farm bureaus and other agencies for the dissemination of information along farming lines are cooperating with the government in its efforts to increase the honey crop. The interest in California has been keep, the leading bee men of the state having pledged their aid in the work. Much of benefit to the industry is also being accomplished through the attention being given by food experts to the question of recipes in which honey can be substituted for sugar. The benefits from the present honey campaign, in fact, promise to be far-reaching and to endure after the war emergency has passed. "The potato is a native American.
