The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter "BULL-IN-THE-PEN." Most of us have played that slashing, house-house game of the playgrounds, "Bull-in-the-Pen." The bull stands in the center of the circle made up of bays bound together by firm handclasps. As the ring dances in and out, the players dare the bull to break through. "Tissue paper here," cry one pair, unclasping their hands and holding them high. "Steel bars here" call another not quite so sure that they can hold the "bull." Meantime the "bull" turns slowly watching the weak spots from the corner of his eyes and least interested in the sector of the line directly in front. Suddenly he springs at two tightly held hands, throws his full weight against it and desperately tries to break through. Some times the force of the attack coupled with surprise, breaks the ring and the "bull" gets through with the others in mad pursuit. If the "bull" does not get through at the first lunge he hangs on in the hope of wearing down the defenders. If Waterloo was won by the school boys on the playgrounds at Eton it is safe to believe that the Yanks, Tommies, Pollus, Anzacs, Highlanders and Italians are well posted on how to handle the "bull" that is trying to break through toward Paris. The "bull" led on by belief of weakness intendent were each in turn received and filed. Director Dwyer reported L. B. Easton had graded the back-filling away from the ditch through his property on West street. Motion duly seconded this was referred to the superintendent. Director Beazley reported Mr. Sarthou had asked for the farming privilege on the La Habra reservoir site for another year after the expiration of his present lease. On motion duly seconded the President and Secretary were authorized to execute a leage in favor of Mr. Sarthou for one year commencing the 15th day of November, 1918.

If Waterloo was won by the school boys on the playgrounds at Eton it is safe to believe that the Yanks, Tommies, Pollus, Anzacs, Highlanders and Italians are well posted on how to handle the "bull" that is trying to break through toward Paris. The "bull" led on by belief of weakness on the part of the "flabby, untrained Yanks" has found these boys only "possuming." The Yanks and the Pollu have raised the "bull" on their taut arms and have swung him back toward Berlin with a slam that brought tears and made the "bull" want to play another game. We can only appreciate this tragic game as they play it Over There by reading newspaper dispatches, but we rejoice that the pen is getting smaller, the "bull" is getting madder and the game is getting better for "our crowd." We can keep the game going good for our boys by maintaining that ring of iron will and flesh strong and determined. Our next big chance to take a hand in the game probably will come in October when the government asks us to loan six or eight billion dollars in the Fourth Liberty Loan to tighten the ring and drive the "bull" over the Rhine. That's a big sum but a small duty. The board of supervisors has received a letter from the State Board of Health asking what provision this county will make for the care of discharged soldiers suffering from tuberculosis. The state health board says that so far no man sent from Orange county has been returned here on account of tuberculosis, at least so far as the state board of health records show. It is expected that each county will provide for special care for soldiers returned with tuberculosis. When the state board hears from a county board of supervisors, it takes the matter up further with local Red Cross societies, enlisting their aid in co-operation in taking care of the situation.

Vice-President Dwyer presiding. Report of the Finance Committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Report of the Treasurer and Super- sentatives made protest to the King until he was forced to leave London to escape them. The four members of Parliament who represented London voted against the war. The Recorder of the city wore mourning publicly for the brothers he had lost fighting against the new tyranny at Lexington. Lord Nofth, the time-serving Prime Minister, confessed in 1779 that he always knew at heart that the war would be ruined. Barrington, the Secretary of State for War, called the policy of the King "madness." Shelbourne, after many vain protests, resigned from the Cabinet. The Duke of Grafton wrote to North protesting. His letter was ignored, and he then obtained a personal audience with the King, with whom he pleaded in vain against the war. On the next day he made a public protest in the House of Lords. He was summoned to the palace and instantly dismissed from his office of Lord Privy Seal by the arbitrary command of the King, who was trying to revive the divine right of monarchs in England in precisely the same way as the Kaiser is attempting it today in Europe.. The Duke of Richmond protested, also vainly, against what he called a "criminal policy." Grenville Sharpe, the great anti-slavery advocate, resigned a government post upon which he was entirely dependent, and was thrown without resources on the world. W. M. Simmons was a business visitor in town yesterday. Soldiers and sailors resigned their commission rather than serve. Chatham removed his son, Lord Pitt, from the army, so that he might not fight against the Americans. Have Your Paid Your W. S. S. Pledge? The boys are doing their duty in France. Do your part by keeping your promise to them. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS J. M. BACKS Candidate for CLERK OF ORANGE COUNTY Chief Clerk for Six Years. Primary Election, Tuesday, Aug. 27 J. C.

Diaz Garaz, who took a flier in high finance, has pleaded guilty to a charge of passing a $50 check. Contritely, he is asking for probation. Garaz was a fruit peddler in the north end of the county when he suddenly developed a turn for quick deals. He got an automobile in Los Angeles on contract, and he traded that machine into A.H. Sitton's garage at Fullerton for a bigger and better machine. He slipped over some checks drwn on an Anaheim bank, and vamoosed. The next heard of him he was running a stage out of Mexicall. When officers went after him, Mexican officers refused to turn him over to them at the part by keeping your promise to them. Food will win the war He who wastes a crust of bread prolongs the war don't waste it! Garaz was a fruit peddler in the north end of the county when he suddenly developed a turn for quick deals.

He slipped over some checks drwn on an Anaheim bank, and vamoosed. The next heard of him he was running a stage out of Mexicall. When officers went after him, Mexican officers refused to turn him over to them at the line. Garaz persuaded the Mexicans that he was wanted only as a draft dodger, and the Mexicans did not care to turn him over for that. Watch was kept on the Calexico side of the line, and finally Garaz drifted across. He was nailed, and was returned here. He is charged with passing a $50 worthless check. His plea for probation will be heard on August 9th. PAST AND PRESENT IN CONFLICT One does not have to read between the lines of President Wilson's Mount Vernon speech to see that the president took that occasion to answer all feelers for a compromise peace, with an emphatic and unqualified ultimatum that America has consecrated herself to the work of cleansing the earth of military autocracy. President Wilson's immediate audience, there in the presence of the spirit as well as the dust of Washington, was small—a gathering of officials and diplomats of the allied nations—but he spoke to all the world, to all the peoples and nations of the earth. He uttered the logical sequel to his "force without stint or limit" declaration of a few weeks ago when he said: "The Past and Present are in deadly grapple, and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No half-way decision would be tolerable. No half-way decision is conceivable." The address was a new Declaration of Independence, a declaration that out of this conflict shall come security for mankind, for humanity. And not the least pertinent thing said—something of special value and information for those Americans who imagine we are still at war with England—was this: "Here were started forces which the great nation against which don't waste it!

Our participation in the present war is but the fruitage of what our Revolutionary forefathers planted, according to the president, who defined our objects most felicitously in a single sentence: "What we seek is the reign of law based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind." The President's speech was another notification to the masters of Germany that they "have roused forces they knew little of" and that these forces will not halt until the cause of freedom has been won and guaranteed. We entered this war hesitatingly, reluctantly, but we entered it to stay until the Hun—the monster of the ages—the ruthless invader of our rights and liberties—the despoiler of fair France and beautiful Belgium—the beast that sacrifices women to his lust, maims and crucifies helpless little children, sinks hospital ships, and is guilty of every other flendish crime—in brief, we entered this war to stay until that monstrous thing called Prussian militarism has been crushed to earth, never to rise again. The president's speech at Washington's tomb made that fact clear in his masterly statement of "the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and which must be conceded them before there can be peace." The right will triumph in this war, and there shall be no compromise with wrong. That is the meaning of the president's inspiring message to the world, delivered in his Mount Vernon speech, as the head of this great nation and the spokesman for civilized mankind.
