RAPID INCREASE IN AMERICAN FORCES THREE MILLION FIGHTING MEN WILL BE UNDER ARMS BY AUGUST 1 THIS WILL BE AUGMENTED BY ANOTHER MILLION BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR Kaiser Wilhelm appears to have a fatal propensity for underestimating the capacity of his enemies. When the war broke out four years ago he sneeringly referred to the contemptible little English army, but this contempt speedily turned to intense hate a sthe British government threw millions of men into France and Belgium and checked the march of his vandal legions toward the channel ports. When the United States entered the war he contemptuously spoke of our strength as "negligibles" inferring that this country could not possibly take a sufficiently prominent part in the conflict to influence the ultimate result. There must be consternation in the ranks of All Highest's cutthroat bunch of Wilhelmstrasse strategists as they read of the gigantic preparations making in America to crush the butcher of Berlin and bury German kultur so deep it will leave nothing but an unsavory memory behind it. At any rate they have transferred their intense hatred to the Sammies, and presumably, like the leopards, they hate most that most of this force will fight with Pershing. LINKING THEM UP The United States now has a direct shipping connection with Chile, for the first time. An American steamer assigned to a new, through route is making the trip from New York to Valparaiso in eighteen days. It used to take twenty-seven days, and the ships of the old regime flew alien flags. This route is announced as the first in a great service of direct steamship lines planned by the shipping board. As rapidly as ships are available, they will be put into commission as sea links connecting our eastern, western and southern seaports with Rio Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Caracas and the ports of all our other South and Central American neighbors. There will thus be established a chain of communication hastening the unity of the western hemisphere. The program will not stop with that achievement. It will be extended until we have American vessels plying direct to the ports of all the seas. The immense expansion of our shipping while calculated primarily for European war service, has this commercial extension in view as a secondary purpose. We shall probably see it well developed before the close of the war, and afterward the vast tonnage available will make its consummation an easy matter. The Stars and Stripes will then be a familiar sight in every port. We shall tap directly the raw materials of the whole earth and have direct access to all the world's markets. We shall be brought into closer touch and better understanding with all nations. The most remote countries and islands will become easily and pleasantly accessible to American travelers. kept quite extensively not profitable squabble they produce smaller frequently of poor not as prolific as the mentioned.

There must be consternation in the ranks of All Highest's cutthroat bunch of Wilhelmstrasse strategists as they read of the gigantic preparations making in America to crush the butcher of Berlin and bury German kultur so deep it will leave nothing but an unsavory memory behind it. At any rate they have transferred their intense hatred to the Sammies, and presumably, like the lower animals, they hate most that which they fear most. The following figures given out by Washington on Thursday must be interesting reading to Wilhelm and his advisers: When the last of the July draft contingent moves to camp late this month the United States will have more than 3,000,000 men under arms in its army and navy forces. And if the movement of men to camps-progresses according to schedule, for the remaining five months of the year, there will be a force of 4,000,000 under arms before the close of 1918. These figures include army, navy, and marine forces. Secretary Baker has announced there are more than 1,000,000 American soldiers abroad. Secretary Daniels has not announced what proportion of the 450,000 men in the naval forces is abroad, but it is fair to assume that more than half the total is in foreign service, giving the United States an armed force of approximately 1,250,000 abroad at the beginning of the second quarter of the second year of American participation in the war. From now on it is probable that there will be less information given out as to the embarkation of American troops for France. Secretary Baker kept his promise to tell the public about troop movements when there was a "round number" to announce abroad, when he gave the news that the million mark had been crossed. There is authority for the statement that the Germans will be kept guessing about American strength in the future. It is believed announcements already made have served the purpose of proving that the submarine has been a dismal failure in preventing American participation on a large scale in the western front fighting. Here is the strength of the military and naval forces, officers and men, July 1, with the July draft contingents included. Army, 2,261,400; navy, 400,224; Marine corps, 49,869; July draft RAISE PIGEONS AND HELP MEAT SUPPLY Ample Supply of Squabs for Family From Few Small Pens Pigeons kept as a side line on farms contribute to the home supply of meat, thus releasing more pork and beef for soldiers and war workers. Though pigeon raisinig to be successful requires careful oversight and attention to details, much of the work connected with it can be done by boys and girls who as a rule take a great interest in the enterprise and enjoy caring for the birds. If good breeding stock is obtained, feed is available at reasonable prices, and if there is a convenient market the production of squabs can be made a profitable source of income. On many farms pigeons can be kept at very little expense, as they will get the greater part of their feed from scattered grain which would otherwise be wasted. Those interested in raising pigeons for squad production should send to the United States department of agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin 684, "Squab Production," which will be sent free on request as long as the supply lasts. Good breeding stock is one of the prime essentials of success in squab raising, says this bulletin. Many failures have been due to poor stock because the prospective producer obtained pigeons past their period of usefulness, or a surplus of male birds. There is a great difference in the value of pigeons as squab producers even of the same variety, making it advisable to select the birds individually for their prolificacy and vitality, for the quality and size of their squabs and their ability properly to feed and rear their offspring. Dark colored skin, legs or beak are an indication of dark colored flesh, and should be avoided by selecting birds for breeding which have white or pinkish white skin and light colored legs. The Stars and Stripes will then be a familiar sight in every port. We shall tap directly the raw materials of the whole earth and have direct access to all the world's markets. We shall be brought into closer touch and better understanding with all nations. The most remote countries and islands will become easily and pleasantly accessible to American travelers.

It is believed announcements already made have served the purpose of proving that the submarine has been a dismal failure in preventing American participation on a large scale in the western front fighting. Here is the strength of the military and naval forces, officers and men, July 1, with the July draft contingents included. Army, 2,261,400; navy, 400,224; Marine corps, 49,869; July draft men, 236,000. Total 3,057,493. Class 1 of the draft provides a reservoir from which the remaining 1918 draft calls may be drawn to provide the fourth million. In the recent registration of the class just turning 21 there were more than 700,000 registered. There still remain enough men of the first draft in class 1, supplemented by the second class now registered to complete the year's program. If, as is almost certain, the draft age is later extended, there will be another extension of class 1 to furnish men for the fifth million to fight the Hun. Of the 2,250,000 men now in the army or included in the drafted men called out this month, the National Army furnished a total of approximately 1,348,000. The regular army is second in strength, with 525,741, and the National Guard strength is 434,511. The National army, through the draft and the Regular army, by volunteer enlistment of men above draft age, will continue to grow, but there is no addition planned in National Guard strength. The regular navy has a strength of 215,002. The Naval Reserve, 163,209; the National Naval Volunteers, 15,785; and the Coast Guard, 6228; the Marine corps' strength of 49,869 is added to the navy strength, though There is a great difference in the value of pigeons as squab producers even of the same variety, making it advisable to select the birds individually for their prolificacy and vitality, for the quality and size of their squabs and their ability properly to feed and rear their offspring. Dark colored skin, legs or beak are an indication of dark colored flesh, and should be avoided by selecting birds for breeding which have white or pinkish white skin and light colored legs. Pigeons are most valuable as squab producers when they are from one to six years of age, although many will breed until they are about eight years old. The small varieties mate or breed at five to six months, and the large one at eight to nine months. It is advisable either to buy mated pigeons which are from one to three years old or procure young birds six to eight weeks old and mate them at the proper age. Squabs which are to be saved for breeding should be banded with leg bands before they leave the nest and a record kept of their breeding. They should be removed to the breeding pen after they are able to fly about and get their own feed. There are a great many varieties of pigeons, but only a few are bred extensively for squab purposes. Those most commonly kept are Exhibition or squab Homers, Carneaux, Maltese, Hungarians and Runts. Runts are very large and do not breed rapidly as the smaller varieties, but are often crossed with some of the smaller breeds to increase the size of the squabs. Carneaux have recently become very popular for squab purposes, as they are larger than the Homer and about as prolific and as good feeders. Common pigeons, though Frank A. Jackson to F. A.

Jocob C.Hazzard, 2nd Leavitt, 3rd cor kept quite extensively on farms, are not profitable squab producers as they produce smaller squabs that are frequently of poor quality, and are not as prolific as the other varieties mentioned. Pigeons usually mate in pairs and remain constant through life, although the mating may be changed if desired. The presence of unmated birds in the pigeon loft is a source of much trouble and usually prevent profitable results. Therefore it is very desirable that all birds in the breeding pens be mated. Pigeons should be kept in houses that are well ventilated and dry, where sunlight is easily accessible and where there is enough space to keep the pigeons comfortable. The interior fixings of the house should be as simple as possible and easy to clean. Two nests should be provided for each pair of pigeons and it is advisable to have a few extra nests. Roosts should be arranged in perpendicular rows in convenient places in the pen. If the pigeons are confined, a fly or outside yard covered with wire should be attached to the south side of the house, but on farms pigeons are usually given free range. All pens and yards should be kept clean, as there is little chance of making money from squabs unless the pigeons can be kept comparatively free from disease and insect parasites. If healthy breeding stock is procured, the houses and yards kept clean, and careful attention given to the birds, disease and parasites should not be a material factor in squab raising. Pigeon raising is an extremely elastic industry capable of being quickly increased or diminished to meet demands. Squabs may be expected to weigh a pound and be ready to eat when a month old. From 2 to 4 dozen pairs kept by persons having a natural inclination for handling feathered stock should provide an ample supply of this kind of meat for the ASKING CHANGE IN STATE DENTAL LAWS Movement Started for More Liberal Regulations of the Practice A campaign has been opened in Orange county with the end in view of getting 10,000 names signed here to a state initiative petition for a law, which if susalned by the vote of the people, will make a number of material changes in laws regulating the practice of dentistry in California. R. W. Hey of Los Angeles arrived here Friday and will manage a drive for 10,000 names in this county. He says that the organization that is backing the petition has already secured enough names to put it over, but as a matter of pride the Southern California bureau wants to get more names than the northern bureau. The organization is evidently prepared to put up a vigorous campaign. "This organization is made up of anti trust dentists," said Hey. "They want more liberal regulations. They want to break some of the power of the state dental board." Hey said that he is going to cover the county with petitioners. The proposed initiative act has been summarized by the attorney general as follows: "Dentistry. Initiative act amending dental law requires dentist, hereafter appointed member of the board of dental examiners, have degree of doctor of dental surgery or dental medicine, and some other degree from recognized institution; limits members to one four year term in six years; as an exception to present requirements, declares any applicant of good moral character, with five years practice, examined and licensed by any state dental board, shall receive license without examination upon paying twenty-five dollars to board; forbids administering anesthetic in practicing... MORE MEN WANTED FOR Y. M. C. A. WORK Four Thousand Needed Before September 1, It is Announced Men over draft age, of good moral character and who know how to teach soldiers recreational games, can serve their country through enlistment for service overseas in the Y. M. C. A. They can be sent to France almost immediately. The call for recreational directors, men who understand athletics is greater now than at any time. Dr. George J. Fisher, head of the physical department of the National War Work council of the Y. M. C. A. is in the west and will meet men who desire to get into this service at a meeting to be held in San Francisco. "Physical activities are now being conducted in terms of international fellowship," said Dr. Fisher. "It is a strange fact that close to 70 per cent of the men in the American army do not know the simplest sports. There are no great national games in France and Italy, but the French and Italian soldiers readily take to American games." "Athletic activity in the allied armies is making for morale. I met officers in Europe who told me that they had not seen their troops smile in two years, until they engaged in athletics. The need for physical directors and recreational directors was never greater." Frank A. Jackson, associate secretary to F. A. McCarl, head of the National War Work council in the western department, announces that 250 men must be secured in the western states each month for Y. M. C. A. service overseas. The opportunity for men to be of service to their country and the soldiers is open to all men over draft age who possess qualifications fitting them to be Y. M. C. A. secretaries. It is also announced dental examiners, have degree of doctor of dental surgery or dental medicine, and some other degree from recognized institution; limits members to one four year term in six years; as an exception to present requirements, declares any applicant of good moral character, with five years practice, examined and licensed by any state dental board, shall receive license without examination upon paying twenty-five dollars to board; forbids administering anesthetic in practicing dentistry, except when third adult person is present; declares advertising or charging low fees not unprofessional conduct." THE PROPER COURSE Information of Priceless Value to Every Anaheim Citizen How to act in an emergency is knowledge of inestimable worth, and this is particularly true of the diseases and lils of the human body. If you suffer with kidney backache, urinary disorders, or any form of kidney trouble, the advice contained in the following statement should add a valuable asset to your store of knowledge. What could be more convincing proof of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills than the statement of an Anaheim citizen who used them and who publicly tells of the benefit derived? Mrs. L. K. Marshall, 310 N. Los Angeles street, says: "My kidneys were very weak and too frequent in action. My back was lame and mornings I felt tired and languald. My feet, ankles and limbs were swollen and often I had dizzy spells' and headaches. I tried Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me wonderfully. Since then, when I have felt the least return of kidney trouble, they have always warded off the complaint." (Statement given March 22, 1913.) On February 15, 1916, Mrs. Marshall said: "I am as firm in the praise of Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Marshall had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y." Adv.

LYNCH, Chairman Liberty Loan General Executive Board and Governor Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. TAXATION EXTRAORDINARY Probably no feature of recent news attracted such general widespread attention as the first outline of the proposed new revenue bill. Some of its provisions are startling—perhaps necessary, but startling none the less. We say "perhaps necessary," but concludes must beware of the goose Frank A. Jackson, associate secretary to F. A. McCarl, head of the National War Work council in the western department, announces that 250 men must be secured in the western states each month for Y. M. C. A. service overseas. The opportunity for men to be of service to their country and the soldiers is open to all men over draft, age who possess qualifications fitting them to be Y. M. C. A. secretaries. It is also announced that 400 men must be secured for Y. M. C. A. overseas service before the first of September. PLACENTIA'S HOME GUARD Placentia will soon have a real home guard, uniformed, equipped, armed and drilled. Being all these it will naturally be ready for business, says the Courier. C. M. Roberts has finally located a house that can supply gray uniforms and has placed an order for 50; others will be ordered as needed. The rifle question is solving itself nicely, too. Many of the members own suitable guns; 15 have volunteered to buy their own arms; and many ranchers and businessmen who cannot join, but who realize the need of a guard, have agreed to buy guns and let the guards keep them until the end of the war, when all the home guards will be automatically disbanded. At the Monday evening meeting Capt. Wilson announced his first appointments of non commissioned officers, the list comprising: W. L. Rideout, 1st sergeant; S. P. Kraemer, 2nd sergeant; A. Mathes, 3rd sergeant; L. Jocobsen, 1st corporal, E. C. Hazzard, 2nd corporal and H. S. Leavitt, 3rd corporal. PROFIT IN PENNIES The government has made some profit out of the various 1c and 2c war taxes, in addition to the taxes themselves. These various war taxes have caused an unprecedented demand for copper pennies, and the government during the past year has coined 528,351,749 of them. This is over $5,000,000 worth of one cent pieces, while the price of metals has gone up, there is, of course, nowhere near a cent's worth of bronze in a "copper" cent. The difference, minus the cost of manufacture, is profit to the government. Assuming a profit of 100 per cent, which is probably far too low, even at present prices, here is over $2,500,000 contributed to the government war chest without it costing anybody anything. To this must be added the profit due to the loss of coins. There is probably more wastage in pennies than in any other coin. On account of their small value they are treated more carelessly than any other form of money, and probably the number which never find their way back into banks, into the mint for redemption or into circulation is very considerable. Inasmuch as the government got full value in real money or in services or goods for every one of these pennies, and will not have to redeem those of them that are lost, the value of these is added to the profit on the manufacture of the remainder. TAXATION EXTRAORDINARY Probably no feature of recent news attracted such general widespread attention as the first outline of the proposed new revenue bill. Some of its provisions are startling—perhaps necessary, but startling none the less. We say "perhaps necessary," but congress must beware of killing the goose that lays the taxation eggs. Some of the taxes suggested would practically close the lines of business affected. People would hardly purchase jewelry and furniture at 50 per cent arbitrary increase, while the taxation suggested on clothing would keep some of us from being quite up to the mode for the next year or two. The great question to be settled first of all is as to what part of war expenses is to be met by present taxation and how much of it by borrowing from the future. In round numbers it is said that the government must have $20,000,000,000 for the next year, and it has been decided—by some unnamed power—that of this $12,000,-000,000 will be obtained from the sale of bonds and $8,000,000,000 from direct taxes. No other nation is thinking of raising 40 per cent of its war expenses by direct taxes. Powerful financial interests are already pointing out that this may be too much of a strain on business, which must not only help win the war, but which must be in a position to meet the unexampled problems of reconstruction after the war, and these same interests take the stand that if the country furnishes one fourth of the war fund from taxation, leaving three- Griffith Lumber Co.
