Anaheim 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 THE PRESIDENT'S ULTIMATUM President Wilson Tuesday sent his answer to the Kaiser's latest plea for peace. He laves no room for misunderstanding or argument, stating in unmistakable language that the present German government must either be destroyed or reduced to a state of impotency. Following is the letter handed to the Swiss representative for transmission to Germany: "Sir: In reply to the communication of the Germany government dated the 12th instant, which you handed me today, I have the honor to request you to transmit the following answer: "The unqualified acceptance by the present German government and by a large majority of the reichstag of the terms laid down by the President of the United States of America in his address to the Congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918, and in his subsequent addresses, justifies the President in making a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the communication of the German government of the 8th and 12th of October, 1918. "It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of reply to the Royal and Imperial government of Austria-Hungary. "Accept, sir; the renewed assurances of my high consideration. "ROBERT LANSING." INDUSTRY REVIVED Turkish tobacco culture in Tulare county has been revived after a period of early prosperity, following the discovery that leaf of a good quality could be produced in that section of California and the subsequent abandonment of the industry in 1913, when market conditions became unsatisfactory and demand uncertain. Embargo which has been laid by the federal government on importations of tobacco assures a good demand at least for the period of the war and indications are for a constantly increasing acreage. This year the largest area planted to the several varieties, classed under the general head of Turkish aromatic, has been in the Yetem district. Yetem is a little village in the Armenian colony north of Visalia. A number of the older residents there are from sections of Turkey where the choicest leaf was once produced and they have had the training in the exacting care of the plants, which is the chief essential in the culture of tobacco of the highest quality and consequent highest price. According to the men who have in the past made a success of the Turkish leaf, the plants are susceptible in the highest degree to variation in quality, depending upon soil, climate and culture. The aim of the grower is to produce a leaf of small size, comparatively, and of uniform aroma. In consequence, experienced care is an essential to profitable returns. Harvest of the leaf is a laborious process and means covering the field several times during the season. The leaves are often taken single from the the United States of America in its address to the Congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918, and in his subsequent addresses, justifies the President in making a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the communication of the German government of the 8th and 12th of October, 1918. "It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States and the Allied governments, and the President feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the government of the United States which does not provide absolutely satisfactory safeguards and guarantees of the maintenance of the present military supremacy of the armies of the United States and the Allies in the field. "He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the Allied governments. "The President feels that it is also his duty to add that neither the government of the United States, nor, he is quite sure, the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as belligerent, will consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany continue the illegal and inhumane practices which they still persist in. "At the very time that the German government approaches the government of the United States with proposals of peace its submarines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea, and not the ships alone, but the very boats in which their passengers and crews seek to make their way to safety; and in their present enforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies are pursuing a course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as in direct violation of the rules and practices of civilized warfare. "Cities and villages, if not destroyed, are being stripped not only of all they contain, but often of their very inhabitants. "The nations associated against Germany cannot be expected to agree to a cessation of arms while acts of inhumanity, spoilation and desolation are being continued which they justly look upon with horror and with burning hearts. "It is necessary also, in order that there may be no possibility of misunderstanding, that the President should According to the past made a success of the Turkish leaf, the plants are susceptible in the highest degree to variation in quality, depending upon soil, climate and culture. The aim of the grower is to produce a leaf of small size, comparatively, and of uniform aroma. In consequence, experienced care is an essential to profitable returns. Harvest of the leaf is a laborious process and means covering the field several times during the season. The leaves are often taken single from the plants, each one being carefully clipped from the stem just as the proper gradation of color from green to brown is shown has been reached. After cutting, the leaves are tied by their stems in small bundles and hung under shade until wilted. These bundles are then exposed to full sunlight until thoroughly dried. In this stage of the preparation unskilled willing or careless drying may destroy either color or aroma and result in a material reduction of the price of the finished leaf. Turkish leaf does well on soils which are not adapted to either citrus or deciduous fruits, and as the crop requires very little water, it is a product which may become important commercially in Central California without encroaching upon any of the established agricultural industries. Under present price conditions, the Yettem growers expect to find their crops very profitable. Unless there are some unusual climatic conditions with which to contend, the farms now in tobacco promise, it is reported, to yield around 800 pounds of the best leaf per acre. The current price will run from $1.25 to $1.50 per pound. On this basis the average gross return would run about $1100 per acre. No accurate cost systems have been kept but $250 per acre is given as a fair average of expense. Adding interest on the value of the land—which is small—and all other charges including taxes, depreciation of machinery and a fair wage for the owner, and it is believed that with present price continued, the Turkish tobacco grower could be assured of a net income per acre of from $400 to $500. Extension of the industry would necessarily be slow and dependent upon the skilled labor available. Experienced care is an essential, especially during the harvesting and curing period, and Greek and Armenian growers who have had the necessary training in Europe and Asia are naturally few: Any person familiar with grape juice, for the first time or ripened but not overripe be used.

"It is necessary also, in order that there may be no possibility of misunderstanding, that the President should very solemnly call the attention of the government of Germany to the language and intent of one of terms of the peace which the German government has now accepted. It is contained in the address of the President delivered at Mount Vernon on the Fourth of July last. "It is as follows: 'The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency.' "The power which has hitherto controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the choice of the German nation to alter it. "The President's words just quoted naturally constitute a condition precedent to peace, if peace is to come by the action of the German people themselves. "The President feels bound to say that the whole process of peace will, in his judgment, depend upon the definiteness and satisfactory character of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter. "It is indispensable that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a preadventure with whom they are dealing."

The cotton grownofBardareTexascottonpicropthisfall.T5centsapoundpoundsorbetterillieshavecome of 100,000 horsepower hours it would require approximately 300 tons of hay and 10,625 bushels of grain. Now, in California at the present time hay is very high. Fancy wheat hay wholesales in the San Francisco market, with which I happen just now to be familiar, at $26 per ton. Let us say that it would cost the farmer, who wants to feed his work team $20 per ton. On this basis the item of hay in a 100,000 horsepower hour job would cost $6,000. Now, as California raises more barley than any one of the other cereals, and as barley enters largely into the feeding of work horses, let us take it as the grain item in our demonstration: Feed barley is quoted in the San Francisco market at about $2.35 per hundred pounds. Let us say it would cost the farmer $2 per hundred pounds, or 2 cents per single pound. This would be about an equivalent of $1 per bushel. Thus we have $10,625 for our grain cost. Total cost, $16,625. Now how about tractor fuel? It would require 11,250 gallons of distillate; 750 gallons of lubricating oil, and 125 pounds of cup grease to produce our 100,000 horsepower hours' work. Distillate, such as is used in farm tractor engines, retails in Oakland, as I happen to know, at 10 cents per gallon. Let us say that it would cost the farmer 9 cents per gallon. At this price 11,250 gallons would cost $1012.50. Lubricating oil in the same market retails from 20 to 35 cents per gallon. Let us say it would cost the farmer the first named price; his lubricating oil would cost him in the aggregate $140. Cup grease would be about the same price. Cost of cup grease in the aggregate $25. Total cost of tractor fuel drought-striken districts to work in Imperial county. Bard growers send their cotton to the Winterhaven gin. Not a pound of the seed from the 1917 crop was crushed. Every farmer retained enough seed for planting, selling the remainder to Imperial valley growers. The Bard Pima seed has been found to be of a superior quality. HANDLING SPANISH "FLU." Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the United States Shipping Board, announced today that in handling cases of Spanish influenza among several thousand apprentices training for the Merchant Marine, the board's medical officials have devised a system of treatment that is working effectively in checking the spread of the disease and in reducing mortality. The chairman's statement followed the receipt of a report from Henry Howard, director of recruiting service for the board, on the checking of the disease among 4,000 apprentices at the board's Atlantic training base at Boston. The shipping board's system of treatment can readily be applied anywhere, as fresh cool air and sunshine are the chief elements employed. Its special effectiveness appears due to the manner in which the patients are isolated and treated in cubicles ventilated in a particular way. The idea was developed at a tent hospital established by Dr. William A. Brooks, medical director of the shipping board's training service, on a high hill in Brookline, a Boston suburb, to take care of the first cases appearing at the Boston training station. The tents have been replaced by specially built shacks, in which ventilation can be controlled and a maximum of sunshine secured. In each shack one-half the roof can not accomplish this and pay other war bills already contracted. Buy Liberty Bonds today. If you have already bought—buy more. ANOTHER GERMAN FAILURE Prince Maximilian, who was appointed chancellor of the disintegrating German empire for the express purpose of negotiating a compromise peace with the victorious allied nations, has fallen down on the job, and since the publication of President Wilson's reply to his overtures it is announced in Berlin that his services are no longer required. Perhaps the Kaiser’s warm friends, Lenine and Trotski, could help him in the crisis that now confronts him. INSPECTORS WANTED Internal Revenue Collector John P. Carter, sixth district of California, Los Angeles, states that his department of the government service is very desirous of securing qualified persons for the position of deputy collector, inspector and agent under the Harrison narcotic act. Appointments to this position must be made from the civil service eligible list and an examination is advertised for applicants on October 22, 1918. Entrance salaries for vacancies in the internal revenue service for this position are filled at $1600 per annum, together with actual traveling expenses when away from post of duty and there is an opportunity for promotion to $2500 per annum. It is suggested that everyone interested in this examination should at once communicate with the secretary of the United States Civil Service Commission, Federal building, Los Angeles, for further information regarding the same. KEYES BROUGHT BACK TO BE RESENTENCED HOME-MADE GRAPE JUICE Any person familiar with the processes of canning fruit can put up grape juice, for the principles involved are the same. Only clean, sound, well-pipened but not overripe grapes should be used. The juice may be extracted by hand or in a cider mill if a light-colored product is desired. Heat this liquid to the boiling point, place in sterilized bottles or jars and carefully seal. The product may be sweetened or not at the time of bottling. When a red juice is desired the grapes should first be heated to a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit and then strained through a clean cloth or drip-bag. Reheat the liquid after straining, place in containers and seal. Keep the bottles or cans in a cool place. If bottles are used the corks should be sterilized and the necks sealed with sealing wax. Unfermented juice may be made not only from all varieties of grapes, but from some other fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, and berries. Unfermented grape juice can be used in sickness, convulscence, and health. It is generally claimed that a reasonably large quantity of this drink improves digestion, and results in an increase in body weight. Aside from being a delicious beverage, it possesses value in adding variety to various dessert recipes. PIMA COTTON Egyptian cotton growers of the Bard district, Imperial county, are enthusiastic over the 1918 crop prospect in that region, and are predicting that The idea was developed at a tent hospital established by Dr. William A. Brooks, medical director of the shipping board's training service, on a high hill in Brookline, a Boston suburb, to take care of the first cases appearing at the Boston training station. The tents have been replaced by specially built shacks, in which ventilation can be controlled and a maximum of sunshine secured. In each shack one-half the roof can be tilted back, opening the whole room to the sun and air. One side of the room is a glass sash that can be opened out completely. The walls of the room do not reach to the roof, leaving about a foot clearance for air space. In each room there are two beds, with a sterilized sheet hung between, to prevent the passage of germs. The cubicle is connected by a door in its back wall with a heated corridor, which connects with an administration building. A large hospital can be built on this system in five or six days. The site selected should be on a hill, reports Dr. Brooks, insuring a free movement of fresh air and a maximum of sunshine. The medical authorities of Massachusetts, where Spanish influenza is epidemic, have endorsed the shipping board hospital idea and plans are being made for a group of the hospitals in that state, to be paid for out of a fund of $100,000 appropriated by the state to check the epidemic among the civilian population. Chairman Hurley stated today that communities wishing blue prints of the hospital plans could secure them by writing Henry Howard, Boston. THE KAISER'S MISTAKE What is your answer to the Kaiser? "America has no heart for war," Wilhelm told his people, downcast when the United States took a hand in chastising them for their barbarieties and brutalities. America's fightingmen speedily took any such notion out of those German soldiers who were so unfortunate as to meet them. But the Kaiser was still able to befool the Germans behind the lines and tell them through his controlled press that America was weak. Finding how great America's war strength was, the Kaiser launched his insidious "peace offensive" with the chief purpose of als kening up the al annum, together with actual traveling expenses when away from post of duty and there is an opportunity for promotion to $2500 per annum. It is suggested that everyone interested in this examination should at once communicate with the secretary of the United States Civil Service Commission, Federal building, Los Angeles, for further information regarding the same. KEYES BROUGHT BACK TO BE RESENTENCED Slayer of Little Leonard Herwick Must Hang For His Crime As indifferent to his fate as ever he was, Edward Keyes is back in the Orange county jail after eight months in San Quentin, where he was taken last February after he had been sentenced to be hanged for the murder of 11-year-old Leonard Herwick, Santa Ana newsboy, beheaded by Keyes. Keyes is fleshier and looks contented with his fate. He says he has had plenty to eat at San Quentin. While at San Quentin Keyes was allowed during the daytime two hours' recreation in the yard, and the company of four or five others who were condemned to die. They put in most of their time playing cards, and they ate regularly. Keyes emphasizes the fact that he had everything he wanted to eat, and while he had plenty to eat he did not worry about whether or not he would be hanged. He told Sheriff Jackson and Forrest Whitson, who brought Keyes back from San Quentin, that he was guilty of the murder and was ready to be hanged for it. District Attorney West endeavored to get in touch with Attorney Ingle Carpenter of Los Angeles, who is Keyes' attorney, that a time might be fixed for bringing Keyes before Judge West for fixing the day for hanging. When Keyes was taken to San Quentin he told Sheriff Jackson that he knew the name of the man who murdered the Poltera girl in Los Angeles several years ago. He also told a story, afterward proven out by an inquiry conducted by Jackson, of a murder and robbery in Ventura county in which Keyes had a part, though he did not do the actual shooting. Nothing ever came of the investigation made after Sheriff Jackson reported Keyes' statements in regard to the Poltera murder. "I don't see why they couldn't have caught the man after what I told you," said Keyes. "He always was hanging around Los Angeles." Egyptian cotton growers of the Bard district, Imperial county, are enthusiastic over the 1918 crop prospect in that region, and are predicting that within two or three years very little cotton except the high priced Pima Egyptian will be grown in the Imperial basin and other Colorado River valleys. Dr. Downing D. Nice, No. 741 East Adams street, Los Angeles, owner of a cotton ranch near Bard, recently brought to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce exhibit room two stalks of Egyptian cotton which were twelve feet high, when cut, and which bore 585 well developed bolls of the high priced cotton. The stalks were taken from a thirty-acre field of Pima Egyptian grown by a tenant, James Hickman, who planted the cotton March 15. It is now ready to pick. Dr. Nice believes that Mr. Hickman will get a bale of cotton to the acre, and that the average over the Bard valley will be three-fourths of a bale to the acre. The price of Pima Egyptian, this year, it is believed, will be 80 cents per pound. The farmers of Imperial and San Pasqual valleys received 72½ cents last year. The cotton growers in the neighborhood of Bard are finding plenty of Texas cotton pickers to harvest the crop this fall. The pickers are paid 5 cents a pound and average 100 pounds or better a day. Entire families have come from the Texas America's fightingmen speedily took any such notion out of those German soldiers who were so unfortunate as to meet them. But the Kaiser was still able to be fool the Germans behind the lines and tell them through his controlled press that America was weak. Finding how great America's war strength was, the Kaiser launched his insidious "peace offensive" with the chief purpose of slackening up the allied armies and giving his generals opportunity to reorganize their sadly smashed divisions. The Kaiser was too deeply cunning not to realize that his peace drive would, unless counteracted by the strong will of the American people, cause the United States to lose interest in providing the enormous funds necessary to complete defeat of the Hun armies. The Fourth Liberty Loan has lagged sadly in many parts of the country, and in some parts of the Twelfth Federal district, it is hardly possible that the country will not rally in the closing days of the campaign and send the loan triumphantly "over the top." It is absolutely necessary that it do so. The Kaiser is able to keep much bad news from his people, but he will never be able to suppress the fact that a United American public has subscribed the greatest war fund in history and is determined to complete the absolute ruin of brutal junker rule. America must answer Wilhelm's peace offensive with an oversubscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Even if the Kaiser's peace offer was honest, as it was not, it would require twenty months to bring home the American troops now in France and the entire sum of the Fourth Liberty Loan would story, afterward proven out by an inquiry conducted by Jackson, of a murder and robbery in Ventura county in which Keyes had a part, though he did not do the actual shooting. Nothing ever came of the investigation made after Sheriff Jackson reported Keyes' statements in regard to the Poltera murder. "I don't see why they couldn't have caught the man after what I told you," said Keyes. "He always was hanging around Los Angeles." Keyes said he used to steal brass off of railroad cars, and added that he guessed he had stolen a carload of it altogether. JUMPED FROM A TRAIN A prisoner named Harry Hughes kicked a window out of a Santa Fe car Monday night and jumped from the train as it was going thirty miles an hour. The man had a rough landing, and was so badly bruised that the deputy who chased him soon caught him. The prisoner has escaped three times from the San Diego chain-gang. The last time he made a tin key and unlocked his ball and chain. He was arrested at San Luis Obispo, and Monday night about 7:40 he was aboard a Santa Fe train in charge of a San Diego deputy sheriff, homeward bound. The prisoner stepped into the toilet. He slammed the door in the deputy's face, giving that officer a beautiful black eye, locked the door, kicked the window, frame and all, out, and jumped. The deputy had the train stopped, and ran back along the tracks toward Irvine, the escape having occurred between Irvine and El Toro.
