APPALLING COST OF WAR TOLD BY M'ADOO SECRETARY OF TREASURY'S ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS HOW SUMS WERE SPENT WORLD WAR WAS WON WITHOUT SHOCK OR ANY FINANCIAL DISTURBANCES The financial history of America's part in the war is set forth by Secretary McAdoo in his annual report drafted before his resignation, and made public by the Treasury. It is the history of how the American people paid billions in taxes, raised four great liberty loans and created a tremendous pool of credit with which the Treasury through its many war agencies paid the bills of the army and navy, the Shipping Board and other government departments, loaned billions to the Allies and millions to war industries, helped support the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over periods of financial stringency. "The payment into the Treasury of vast sums in war taxes and from bond sales," said Secretary M'Adoo, "and the transformation of our varied and complex economic life to the supreme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock or financial WHAT OF SOLDIER LIFE INSURANCE The recent discovery by the mother and father of Otto Rozell, the Orange boy killed in action in France, that the $10,000 insurance offered soldiers can be collected only in case the beneficiary is dependent on the insured, has resulted in a great deal of talk among people who have boys in the United States army and navy service. Rozell named his mother as beneficiary and in efforts to secure the insurance he carried she has discovered that she can not benefit by the policy because she was not dependent on her son. Congressman Kettner also is said to have informed the father that the insurance is for dependents only. Attorneys who have handled such matters for local people, state also that they have been forced to show that beneficiaries were dependent. So far as an investigation of the insurance law in connection with the selective service bill reveals nothing in it refers to the insured having to designate his beneficiary as being dependent on him. The application makes no reference to designation of dependent. Absolutely no reference is made to dependents in that section of the draft regulation providing for insurance for the men who want it. Under Article 5, section 402, of the selective service regulations provision is made that "the insurance shall not be assignable, and shall not be subject to claims of creditors of the insured or of the beneficiary. It shall be payable only to a spouse, child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister, and also during total and permanent disability to the injured person or to any or all of them.

But to stop the menace of famine ready claimed more mansword of war, Americans prepare still to "carry carry on an agriculture end of which is not in use." The question is so: "If human lives can be waging a war, in defeat threatened by military not food also be conserved large populations which is utterly without is a timely question as answer: A civilian man a soldier, and food may be commandeered successful compulsoryness the forces which now locked up in soil from future animal pro- More than that, even of securing food were able, it is not a plan policies of the food ad ward the American pr prehension having ingness and ability of duce the kind and am required.

"The payment into the Treasury of vast sums in war taxes and from bond sales," said Secretary M-Adoo, "and the transformation of our varied and complex economic life to the supreme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock or financial disturbance. The credit and business structure of the nation remains sound and strong. The results of the four liberty loans are a tribute to the patriotism of the American people and to the economic strength of the nation." The report constitutes Secretary McAdoo's final accounting of his stewardship before retiring as the nation's finance minister. Throughout the report, Mr. McAdoo refers repeatedly to the remarkable achievements of America's civilian population in providing the money and materials for war and acting as the "eager second line of defense." For the fifteen months ending last June 30, Secretary McAdoo estimated that the cost of the war, with allowances for the government's ordinary expenses in ordinary times, amounted to $13,222,000,000. Nearly half of this, $6,499,000,000, went into permanent investments, in the form of ships, shipyards, war vessels, army camps, buildings, and in loans to Allies or to American war industries. Of the year's expenses 31.6 per cent came from taxation. The civil establishment of the government during the year spent $1,507,000,000, while the War Department spent $5,684,000,000 and the navy $1,368,000,000. For support of the army alone the government paid out $4,412,000,000. The naval expenditures included the construction of new vessels, machinery, armament, equipment and improvements at navy yards. Total ordinary disbursements for the year amounted to $8,966,000,000 and ordinary receipts, excluding money received from liberty loan, amounted to $4,174,000,000. Loans to Allies during the year amounted to $4,739,000,000 additional. Looking forward, Secretary McAdoo found great difficulty in forecasting expenditures for the current fiscal year which ends next June 30, on account of the sudden coming of peace. Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of each department in advance of revisions since the signing of Under Article 5, section 402, of the selective service regulations provision is made that "the insurance shall not be assignable, and shall not be subject to claims of creditors of the insured or of the beneficiary. It shall be payable only to a spouse, child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister, and also during total and permanent disability to the injured person or to any or all of them. "If no beneficiary within the permitted class be designated by the insured, either in his lifetime or by his last will and testament, or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the insured, the insurance shall be payable to such person or persons within the permitted class of beneficiaries as would under the law of the state of the residence of the insured be entitled to his personal property in case of intestacy." There is nothing in the application blank that even suggests that the party named as the beneficiary must be dependent on the insured. The point is one of vital interest to thousands in the United States. Thomas Love, assistant secretary of the treasury, in a statement at Chicago, said that 95 per cent of the men in the army and navy service had taken out the insurance. Whether they were advised at the time that those whom they named to collect the insurance in case of their death should be dependents, is not known. The general impression has been that dependency was not necessary in order for the enlisted man to get a policy. The insurance of course was not intended to operate as does the old line. It was intended to act in lieu of a pension, the face of the policy being paid on monthly installments. Assistant Secretary Love also stated that at that time, a month ago, insurance to the amount of $36,220,000,000 had been written at an expense of $1,-500,000; that 18,000 soldiers and sailors had died in this country; carrying insurance to the amount of $170,000,-000. Premiums collected up to the first of November were estimated to be $143,000,000. Disbursements on account of death totaled $4,102,000. He said that insurance was being written at the rate of $2,750,000 per month. The insurance payments run for a long time, and it is estimated that the $170,000,000 that will be paid on the 18,800 deaths in this country could be settled for $122,098,000 if paid at once. We must also secure a view of agriculture realize that greater for more care and skil than in the past.

SHE KNEW A woman, one of working for the Y., signed to scrub the London. She had ordinary receipts, excluding money received from liberty loan, amounted to $4,174,000,000. Loans to Allies during the year amounted to $4,739,000,000 additional. Looking forward, Secretary McAdoo found great difficulty in forecasting expenditures for the current fiscal year which ends next June 30, on account of the sudden coming of peace. Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of each department in advance of revisions since the signing of the armistice and he does not consider them reliable. With this explanation Mr. McAdoo forecast expenditures for this year at $20,687,000,000 for government purposes and $4,375,000,000 for loans to Allies and $2,540,000,000 for redemption of outstanding certificates and other debt cancellation. Total estimated disbursements for the year were put at $27,718,000,000. Against this estimate, which expenses at the rate of a little more than a billion and a half dollars a month to date indicate is too high, Mr. McAdoo calculated that the government will receive about $5,000,000,000 before the end of the fiscal year next June 30 from income and profits taxes, $1,100,000,000 from other taxes, $190,000,000 from customs and $555,000,000 from miscellaneous sources, including $70,000,000 from increased postage, making estimated receipts from ordinary sources $6,846,000,000. In addition, he figured roughly on a little more than $5,000,000,000 from further issues of liberty bonds and $1,200,000,000 from war savings. These figures added to receipts from liberty loan bonds already sold make $14,168,000,000 the total of popular borrowings expected during the year. On this basis total estimated receipts would be $21,022,000,000 or $6,695,000,000 less than tentative estimates of disbursements. Actual developments are expected to change these calculations greatly. PRESSEL TROUBLES ARE AGAIN COURT FEATURE The troubles that ushered in the separation of Fred Pressel and his wife a couple of years ago have been again told in court to Judge West. This time the wife, Mrs. Rosallie Pressel, is suing for separate maintenance. She alleges that Pressel was cruel to her. One cruelty alleged is that Pressel's family accused her of trying to poison Pressel. She was arrested, but not prosecuted. Pressel put in an answer and cross-complaint in which he asks for a divorce. It is stated that the woman was a spiritualistic medium when she married Pressel.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO PACIFIC COAST FARMERS Prepared by Herbert Hoover for Orchard and Farm Magazine The food needed to restore Europe to a full measure of strength and vigor does not exist in the world today. By exporting 20,000,000 tons of staple food we expect to maintain the Allies and the liberated nations overseas until next harvest. But to stay permanently the menace of famine which has already claimed more millions than the sword of war, American farmers must prepare still to "carry on." We must carry on an agricultural offensive the end of which is not in sight. The question is sometimes asked, "If human lives can be conscripted for waging a war, in defense of nations threatened by military foe, why can not food also be conscripted to protect large populations against famine, which is utterly without mercy?" This is a timely question and here is the answer: A civilian may be drafted as a soldier, and food already existing may be commandeered, but there is no successful compulsory means for harnessing the forces which liberate food now locked up in soil or to be derived from future animal production. More than that, even if such a means of securing food were physically possible, it is not a plan consistent with policies of the food administration toward the American producer. Rather, the administration has relied on willingness and ability of farmers to produce the kind and amount of products required. The millions of tons of food now needed to win the war against famine must therefore continue to come from the voluntary efforts of our well-informed farmers. Conservation, is of material help and must be regarded not as a damper on demand, but rather as the means of enabling America by the return of the men from Europe. A large proportion of the men will find their old jobs awaiting them, and a large proportion of them are going to come back fitted to fill much better positions than they have ever held. Everywhere, local organizations are to be perfected for aiding soldiers in getting employment, and doubtless we will be surprised at the ease with which these returning soldiers fit into every-day civilian life. Here in Orange county we will probably find that the situation will work itself out, almost without conscious direction. We have about 1700 men in army and navy uniforms. These men are not going to come home all on the same day or in the same week or in the same year. They will begin coming home soon, some of them. Others won't be home for six months, and still others for a year or two years. Some of the boys in the navy are in for four-year enlistments. So far as finding room for these returning soldiers is concerned, Orange county hasn't a thing to worry about. For the last ten years our county's normal growth has been about 2,500 people a year. We have assimilated that many people right along, and we have been maintaining chambers of commerce and doing community and county advertising in the hope of increasing the number year by year. Why then, should we wonder what in the world we are going to do with alert, able-bodied men who will be coming home at the rate of perhaps 750 a year for the next two years? While we need have no fear but that they will all find something to do, there is no reason why we should not exert every effort toward carrying through some of the projects that have been held back by reason of the war.

RO ANAHEIM "Where Every Deal SHE KNEW HER PLACE A woman, one of the 30,000 British working for the Y. M. C. A., was assigned to scrub the Eagle hut floor in London. She had done little manual work. While we need have no fear but that they will all find something to do, there is no reason why we should not exert every effort toward carrying through some of the projects that have been held back by reason of the war. One of the most vital of these projects, so far as Orange county is concerned, is the control of the Santa Ana river and the conservation of its waters. A few months ago federal experts reported that if the waters of the Santa Ana river were properly conserved through check dams in the mountains, the establishment of reservoirs and through surface distribution for underground storage, enough water would be saved to irrigate regularly no less than 40,000 acres of orchards in addition to the acreage already served by the Santa Ana river in San Bernardino. Riverside and Orange counties. With something like that to work toward, with the outlook for state and federal aid for such a project brighter now than ever before, there should be no hesitation as to what can best be done here in the way of development that will give employment to returning soldiers. Some day the Santa Ana river is going to be harnessed and controlled in exactly the way outlined by the federal experts. This project is one that should hold our attention at any time as one of the biggest things we can take a hand in for the development of the Southland. Just now when our desire is to make sure that there will be plenty of employment for the men coming home from battlefront and battleships we have an additional reason for gathering our forces behind the project and for putting it over at the earliest possible moment. OLIVE CROP SHORT The movement of olives of the 1918 crop from orchard to consumer is well along, and owners of groves are beginning to make estimates on results of this year's efforts. It is believed that net returns from groves will be a little below normal, despite a higher price for the product. The increased cost of labor and the June drop are reasons given for a reduction in the usual net income. However, growers are united in the state- ANAHEIM "Where Every Deal" were recently 125 pickers, including many women, at work. They were guaranteed $2 per day, and were paid at the rate of 60 cents per lug box. The canning olives are picked into a bucket and dumped into a lug box. The canning olives are then brought in the lug boxes to the packing-house, where they are graded, put through the processing vats, and packed in attractive glass and tin receptacles. Not so much care is taken in the picking of the oil olives. They are scraped from the trees and hauled to the packing-house in barrels, where they go through the oil extraction process. This year many Southern California Italians are buying oil olives, chiefly the Nevadillo variety, for salting. Only about 5 per cent of the olives picked go into oil, 45 per cent being sold for salting down. At the 1700-acre Sylmar grove the Los Angeles Olive Growers' Association is still budding the Nevadillo trees with Mission and Manzanillo varieties. The original planting twenty-five years ago was of the Nevadillo oil olives. Many acres of young Mission and Manzanillo olives have been set out in recent years on the Sylmar ranch. The California Olive Association comprises fifteen packing associations. Two of these are in Los Angeles, two at Oroville, two at Fair Oaks, and one each at Stockton, San Diego, Fresno, Lindsay, Palermo, Riverside, Sunland, Hemet and Sacramento. SEAL BEACH RESORTS BEING INVESTIGATED Two Cafes Charged With Being Places of Ill Repute The Seal Inn at Seal Beach and the Tower Cafe at Anaheim Landing were enjoined last week by the county authorities on the ground that they are places of ill repute. Application was made to the superior court to have the two places closed for a year under the Red Light Abatement Act. The Seal Inn is located at the corner of the turn to Long Beach, and was formerly the Lodge Cafe. The Tower Cafe is conducted in a building in which the Casino was formerly run. It is stated that complaints were frequently to the district attorney. GER When the Yanks were battlefield, to be frightened turned loose da, the sax effect three years.

M. C. A., was assigned to scrub the Eagle hut floor in London. She had done little manual labor in her life, but accepted the job without protest and went down on her knees with a pail of hot water, a cloth, and a cake of soap. Soon the water in the pail was black. A man in uniform passed. The woman looked up and asked if he would mind emptying the pail and refilling it with clean water. There was a pause, then this reply: "Dammit, madame, I'm an officer!" This time there was no pause, but like a flash the scrubwoman retorted: "Dammit, officer, I'm a duchess!" NO CAUSE TO WORRY, BUT GET BUSY All over the country there has been more or less speculation and not a little consternation as to what is going to happen industrially when the boys come home, says the Register. We have had pictures of great meetings of soldiers straight from overseas clamoring for work. We could almost see them walking in squads up and down the principal streets hunting for jobs. There is no need to be hysterical about the future. Of course, no great body of men can be withdrawn from industry without upsetting things considerably, and no great body of men can be brought back into industry without necessitating many readjustments, but there is no probability of any catastrophe arising. The movement of olives of the 1918 crop from orchard to consumer is well along, and owners of groves are beginning to make estimates on results of this year's efforts. It is believed that net returns from groves will be a little below normal, despite a higher price for the product. The increased cost of labor and the June drop are reasons given for a reduction in the usual net income. However, growers are united in the statement that this year, as in most years, well-kept olive groves have paid a good return on the investment. Frank Simonds, of Los Angeles, president of the California Olive Association, says that few new groves are being set out because of the uncertainty regarding tariff legislation within the next dozen years. A grower, or a prospective grower, before setting out more trees, naturally is anxious for light on the question of what the tariff on Italian and Spanish olives will be at the time the trees are in full bearing. There are 32,000 acres set to olives in California, and about 24,000 acres in bearing this year. The groves this year are averaging about three-fourths of a ton per acre. The price received last year was $60 to $260 per ton. This year it is $30 to $350 per ton. The total gross receipts from the 1918 crop are expected to be a little in excess of $5,000,000. Federal crop experts recently placed the condition of the California olive crop at 82.6 per cent, 100 equalling the average, not the normal. President Simonds, of the Olive Growers' Association, believes the crop has been about 60 per cent of normal. Pickers have been receiving $2 to $5 per day for harvesting the olives. At the Sylmar grove, in San Fernando Valley, consisting of 1700 acres, there enjoined last week by the county authorities on the ground that they are places of ill repute. Application was made to the superior court to have the two places closed for a year under the Red Light Abatement Act. The Seal Inn is located at the corner of the turn to Long Beach, and was formerly the Lodge Cafe. The Tower Cafe is conducted in a building in which the Casino was formerly run. It is stated that complaints were made frequently to the district attorney's office concerning these places Recently Deputy District Attorney A.E. Koepsel began the collection of evidence, and the culmination of his investigations came in the proceedings that closed the two places last week. Affidavits are on file in which acts are alleged as a basis for the proceedings. Saturday night three women were arrested on vagrancy charges. Each pleaded guilty. One was given a sentence of six months in the county jail and the others were given sixty days each. Proceedings to declare each of the places a nuisance under the meaning of the Red Light Abatement Act resulted in an order signed by Judge West temporarily enjoining the places until Friday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time the defendants were to show cause why the places should not be closed for a year and proceedings be taken to sell the furniture of the places to cover the costs of proceedings. F.C. Blankenship, Louis White and Jim Onrich are named as defendants in the action concerning the Tower Cafe. The Bayside Land Company is made a defendant as owner of the property. Blankenship, "Doc" Smith and Margaret West are named as defendants in the action concerning the Seal Inn, which it is alleged they conduct.

GERMAN PROPAGANDA When the Huns discovered that the Yanks were superior to them on the battlefield, and also that they refused to be frightened by a loud noise, they turned loose a little German propaganda, the same that has been used with effect throughout the entire world for years. A circular containing the same argument we have heard here at home, was scattered behind the American lines by Hun planes, a copy of which was picked up by Curtis Fuller, of Orangethorpe, and sent home. It is headed "The Better Part of Valor," and reads as follows: Are you a brave man or a coward? It takes a brave man to stand up for his principles. Cowards stand behind leaders and die, imagining that by doing they become heroes. The motive of an act is its measure. If you think the war is hell and that you as a citizen of the United States' of America have no business to be fighting in France for England you are a coward to stay with it. If you had, the courage to face criticism you would get out and over the top in no time to a place where there is some likelihood that you may see home again.
