VAST ARMY SOON WILL BE OVER THE SEA PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL CROWDER SAYS THREE MILLION SAMMIES ARE TO BE SENT ACROSS APPROVES OF BILL TO EXTEND AGE LIMITS IN DRAFT LAW FROM 18 TO 45 YEARS Three million Americans will be under arms by next August 1, the Senate military committee was told Saturday by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Extension of the age limits in the army draft will be necessary, Gen. Crowder said, if the present rate of draft calls is continued. He estimated that all the men in class 1 would be exhausted soon after next January 1. Gen. Crowder said that 1,347,000 of the 2,428,000 men placed in class 1 already have been called to the colors. He estimated that some 400,000 additional men for the first class will be secured from the men who registered last June 5, and that another 200,000 will be added by the classification of men in the re-examination of the questionnaires now being made. Requisitions from the draft to complete the 3,000,000 total by August 1, Gen. Crowder said, have been made. Of these, 2,000,000 will be draft registrants and the others volunteers and national guardsmen. "Everybody thinks there will be the apprenticeship system instituted by the schools," said Mr. Lopp. "Reindeer with a total value of $1,686,200 are now possessed by natives formerly destitute. "Reindeer meat is said to be as nourishing as beef, and it would contribute toward the conservation of live stock, since the reindeer live on a white lichen, which would otherwise be useless, and there are no expenses attached to their maintenance beyond the labor of herding and the cost of shelter and butchering." FLAG ETIQUETTE When the colors are passing, the spectator, if a man, should halt if walking, arise if sitting, and uncover, holding the headress opposite the left shoulder with the right hand; if bare-headed, he should salute with the right hand. A woman should stand at attention as the Flag passes by. When the Flag is waving from a stationary flagstaff or pole it is not saluted with the hand. In decorating, the Flag should never be festooned or draped. Always hung flat. If hung with stripes horizontal, Union should be in upper left corner. If hung perpendicularly, the Union should be in upper right corner. When the Flag is carried in a parade or when crossed with other flags, the Stars and Stripes should always be at the right. The law specifically forbids the use of and representation of the Flag in any manner or in any connection with merchandise for sale. The Flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. It should not be displayed on stormy days or, except when under fire of the enemy, left out over night. Although there is no authoritative ruling which compels civilians to lower the Flag at sundown good taste. MAKING PRIDE Y. M. C. A.

Requisitions from the draft to complete the 3,000,000 total by August 1, Gen. Crowder said, have been made. Of these, 2,000,000 will be draft registrants and the others volunteers and national guardsmen. "Everybody thinks there will be heavy calls during the first six months of 1919," was a significant statement made by Gen. Crowder. Gen. Crowder approved of the general principle of the bill introduced by Senator France of Maryland, extending the registration ages to from 18 to 45 years. Gen. Crowder said that at the present rate class 1 will be exhausted by the end of the present year and that, unless the age limits are extended and another registration held, it will be necessary early next year to call men in class 2 and probably soon thereafter in class 3. General Peyton C. Marsh, chief of staff, made the authoritative announcement Saturday that the United States now has more than 800,000 soldiers in France, and that this number is being rapidly increased. The German people were assured by their government when America declared war that this country's entry into the war was something of a joke as the submarines would prevent the transportation of troops across the sea, but this appears to have been another of Kaiser Bill's miscalculations. It is known that at the present time an endless fleet of troopships are crossing the Atlantic and unloading countless thousands of the best soldiers on earth, each one feverishly anxious to get at the front and convince the kaiser's horde of unspeakable Huns that there is still a God in Israel. Already several divisions of Sammies have gone over the top and have struck terror into the hearts of the murderous Huns. "The Americans are here—really here," is the message that is passing down the line into Germany. Yes, they are there, and more are coming. An unbreakable and steady stream of khaki boys are pouring into France, and this stream will continue until the last armed Hun throws down his gun and yells "Kamared." REINDEER MEAT MAY TAKE PLACE OF BEEF The law specifically forbids the use of and representation of the Flag in any manner or in any connection with merchandise for sale. The Flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. It should not be displayed on stormy days or, except when under fire of the enemy, left out over night. Although there is no authoritative ruling which compels civilians to lower the Flag at sundown, good taste should impel them to follow the traditions of the army and navy in this sundown ceremony. Primarily the Flag is raised to be seen, and secondarily, the Flag is something to be guarded, treasured and so tradition holds it shall not be menaced by the darkness. To leave the Flag out at night, unattended, is proof of shiftlessness, or at least carelessness. On Memorial Day, the Flag should be displayed at half mast from sunrise until noon, and at the peak from noon until sunset. It should, on being retired, never be allowed to touch the ground. When the Star Spangled Banner is being played or sung, uncover, stand and remain standing, in silence, until it is finished. Applause at the conclusion of the Star Spangled Banner is out of place. Worn out and useless flags should be destroyed by burning. A Flag torn or frayed by the wind and weather should never again be hoisted until it has been repaired. This is a regulation of both army and navy and should also be followed by all civilians. COMMITTEE APPRECIATE NEWSPAPER ASSISTANCE Kinsley Thanks Gazette for Publicity in Red Cross Drive San Francisco, June 10, 1918. Editor Gazette:—One of the marvelous features of the successful Red Cross war fund drive was the generous aid given by the newspapers. Any thanks that may be extended by Red Cross officials is small compensation and we know that the only reward that prompted your support was the realization that you were helping a great organization that in turn is doing all in its power to relieve suffering and help win the war. The Pacific division of the American Red Cross extends to you its whole hearted thanks for your splendid poses, though not new to some years ago barley REINDEER MEAT MAY TAKE PLACE OF BEEF Government Official Says Alaska Can Furnish Big Supply Reindeer steaks may some day take the place of beef, if the meat shortage becomes more serious. Under proper management Alaska may become the source of large food supplies, William T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska division of the United States bureau of Education believes. Thousands of surplus male reindeer are to be hade in A9laska every year, according to this authority, and while small shipments have been made from time to time, there has been no systematic exportation on a large scale. In a recent interview Mr. Lopp, who has been working with the native Eskimos for 25 years, gave interesting statistics showing the success of the United States government in the work of converting a nation of hunters and fishermen into a pastoral people. This the government has done through the importation of reindeer into Alaska from Siberia and through the encouragement of the reindeer industry thru the Alaska division of the bureau of education. "Of the total of 98,582 reindeer now in Alaskan territory 67,448 are now owned by 1,568 native Eskimos, all of who mare expert herders, trained thru Cross war fund drive was the generous aid given by the newspapers. Any thanks that may be extended by Red Cross officials is small compensation and we know that the only reward that prompted your support was the realization that you were helping a great organization that in turn is doing all in its power to relieve suffering and help win the war. The Pacific division of the American Red Cross extends to you its whole hearted thanks for your splendid aid. Your spirit of helpfulness has been deeply appreciated in all Red Cross endeavors and we trust that the Red Cross will continue to merit your faith. I believe it may fairly be said that no line of business in the United States has given more of its stock in trade toward "Win the war activities" than the newspapers. It is likewise apparent that without newspapers in all allied countries Germany might long ago have been the victor. Again thanking you, I beg to remain, Sincerely yours, GUY R. KINSLEY, Director of Publicity Joseph W. Sweet and Mary L. Paschall both well known residents of this city have been granted a license to marry. The petition for the incorporation of Placentia has been circulated and has more than the required number of signatures. It is being verified and will probably have a hearing at Santa Ana in the near future. Earl Waldler came down Sunday from Camp Lewis on a visit to his friends, having been granted a ten days' furlough. MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR CATALINA OUTING Y. M. C. A.

USE BARLEY—SAVE WHEAT Barley forms one of the main cereal crops in California, and it is one of the most readily available of all wheat substitutes. The following information issued by the United States department of agriculture is valuable at the present time. According to the department, barley is grown in large quantities in the United States and it is now being ground into flour, though until lately it was more generally used for other purposes. It is a palatable, wholesome grain which has long been used in infant feeding, and to some extent, for generaly cookery, and which can now be used in quantity to save wheat. You will find barley flour one of the best of the wheat substitutes. Delicious breads and cakes can be made by using it to replace all or part of the wheat flour. The use of barley flour for such purposes, though new to most of us, is not new to some people. Not many years ago barley was used more extensively. It takes about 20 sheep to produce the wool needed for one soldier's uniform, blanket, socks and other wool equipment. There are many untillied sections of the country where sheep could be profitably raised. The beautiful enamel which is used for covering Japanese trays, boxes etc., and on which the painted birds flowers and figures show so brilliantly is obtained from the sap of the lacuser tree. This tree grows sometimes to the height of 30 to 40 feet in Japan. The cafe Florian, in St. Mark's square, Venice, is well known to all visitors to Venice, as the cafe which has not closed its doors day or night for 300 years. The news that this famous resort is now shut up will bring home to many the fact that Venice is now in the war zone. The manufacture of private motor cars in England is being reduced by 15 per cent immediately, and ultimately the production will be brought down to 60 per cent of normal. This step has been taken in order to preserve the raw materials. Motor car builders will probably take up airplane motor building. CIVIL WAR TRENCH SYSTEMS TO BE PRESERVED Trench systems constructed \ by Stonewall Jackson during the Civil war and still intact are to be preserved as an historical landmark. These trenches are now within the new Shenandoah national forest, recently created by presidential proclamation and located in Rockinham, Augusta, Bath and Highland counties Virginia,and in Pendleton county West Virginia. This 165,000 acre tract has just been purchased by the federal government under the Week's law,在 accordance with the policy of acquiring title to lands which are of value for the protection of stream flow,the production of timber and for public recreation grounds. RAILWAY EXPENDITURES The total approved budget of expenditures for railways under the control of Director General McAdoo is $946,293,828,它 has been announced. Some of the largest items included in the list are: HOTEL VALENCIA Modern in Every Respect Finest Hotel in Orange County Accommodations Unsurpassed By any hotel in the Southland and prices reasonable. Corner Lemon and Center Sts Anaheim California Rates,$1.00 per night.up.Special Rates by the week or month. SPECIALIZED CLERKS URGENTLY NEEDED Expert clerical work has a more important place in the government's war organization than most people realize. We all know that the war cannot be won in the trenches alone; that an effective establishment at home is vital to the success of the biggest job ever undertaken by any nation; but the full extent to which the specialized clerk is needed is perhaps not generally understood.And it is in this class of work that women have the best opportunity to be of real service to the government at this time. In the national capital alone the civilian force increased from 30,000 RAILWAY EXPENDITURES The total approved budget of expenditures for railways under the control of Director General McAdoo is $946,293,828, it has been announced. Some of the largest items included in the list are: Locomotives and freight cars, $28,340,446; other equipment, $12,963,109; improvements to existing equipment, $35,043,290, the total for equipment is $482,417,170. For construction of branches and other new lines, $18,237,424, with trestles and culverts, $38,035,762. For additional main tracks, $47,471,002; additional yard tracks and sidings, $98,661,553; shop buildings, engine houses and appurtenances, $61,879,476. WAR TIME NEED FOR BLACK WALNUT Col. Henry S. Graves, chief of the forest service has written to the Boy Scouts setting forth the need for the census of black walnut trees which President Wilson has asked the Scouts to undertake. Four or five propellers are required for each airplane, the chief forester points out, and since black walnut is scarce and only the best grade can be used for this purpose, it is important that the government should know immediately the location of all available supplies. Walnut is also the chief wood used for gunstocks, and these two requirements, Col. Graves says, make it one of the most essential timbers for war purposes. General clerks, that is, those without a specialty, are not difficult to obtain, even under present conditions, but the United States Civil Service commission charged with the duty of recruiting the civil service to meet war needs, is experiencing difficulty in obtaining a sufficient number of applications for many clerical positions which require special training or experience. There is an urgent call for applicants for the positions of stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper, bookkeeper-typewriter, clerk-bookkeeper, cost accountant, accounting and statistical clerk, statistician, clerk qualified in accounting, clerk qualified in business administration, index and catalog clerk, schedule clerk, passenger rate clerk, blue print file clerk, and assistant to business manager. All of these positions are open to both men and women. Representatives of BBS MBER Broadway HEIM CAL. Griffith Lumber Co.

ERADICATING SHEEP AND CATTLE SCABIES By 1920 there will be no territory under quarantine for sheep and cattle scabies. It is believed by officials of the bureau of animal industry. Effective April 15, the secretary of agriculture issued an order releasing from quarantine the last four counties in Texas, constituting the remainder of the area under quarantine for cattle scabies in the entire United States. There still remain under quarantine for sheep scabies ten counties in California, eleven counties in Texas and three parishes in Louisiana. "The newest fighting corps—the 'potatriots.'
