The Pershing plan, General Harries further explained, was to force the German army to surrender in the field occupation of seven strategic and organize anew another thrust at civilization. God gave the universal enemy into our hands, but we signed away the triumph. Of all the colossal blunders recorded in history the granting of the armistice was the most colossal. Instead of observing Nov. as an international holiday of thanksgiving, civilization is more than likely to look back to it arrayed in sackcloth and ashes. Soldiers won the great war and diplomats tossed the victory into the waste basket. It is charity to say that the armistice was "little short of a crime." WHERE MASONS STAND At the last session of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California, a strong stand was taken in regard to the unrest that prevails in the country, calling upon all members of the order to stand true and fast at such a time. Reso officers of the Spanish-American and World Wars at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, Nov. 29, General George Harries, chief of the Allied Commission in Berlin after the signing of the armistice, declared that the armistice was "little short of a crime." The Pershing plan, General Harries further explained, was to force the German army to surrender in the field; occupation of seven strategic cities by Allied forces; lifting of the blockade; removal of all war materials from Germany and to impress the German people with the fact that they had been defeated. The armistice was a compact with death. The German people were not then and are not now impressed with the fact that their armies were defeated. They escaped contact with invasion. They signed the armistice with hatred in their hearts and with the lust for vengeance already burning in their heads. They had made no peace. Their returning armies have been converted into enmissaries of revolution or have been enlisted in the campaign to conquer by guile the markets of the Allies. They have merely changed their methods of attack. Their conversion to republicanism was a delusion and a snare. They have stopped at an oasis for a breathing space—that is all. Ludendorff and Hindenburg strut through the streets of Berlin with the yells of the Pan-Germanists about them. The old Hohenzollern creed is still the only altar at which millions of the Huns worship. They want no republic. They take for granted the re-establishment of the Kaiser or his substitute. They have a new "der tag," and it is the day when once more a Hohenzollern chief shall sit in the seat of his fathers It is charity to say that the armistice was "little short of a crime." WHERE MASONS STAND At the last session of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California, a strong stand was taken in regard to the unrest that prevails in the country, calling upon all members of the order to stand true and fast at such a time. Resolutions were adopted, prescribing patriotic exercises, and readings as follows: Whereas, there appears to be a world-wide and organized movement fostered by enemies of law and order to subvert and destroy government, which movement is very manifest in our own free America; and Whereas, Masonry recognizes that all nature is and must be subservient and obedient to law and order; and Whereas, Masonry believes in and inculcates obedience to human laws and enjoins loyalty to established governments; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the jurisdiction of California, in annual communication assembled, does renew its pledge of absolute fealty to our government, and further pledges the entire membership to use all lawful means to check the growth of the destructive and treasonable doctrines that now threaten our free institutions. Resolved, further, that the American's Creed, as accepted by the National Publicity Committee of the United States, gives expression to the loyalty of every true lover of the country, and Masons we and each of us affirm our belief therein, as follows: ANAHEIM GAZETTE Christmas and New Year's Greetings OF THE OLDEN STATE BA We desire to express our deep appreciation of your valued and friendly cooperation which has assisted us in our success of the past.

EVERETT, Assistant DIRECTORS FRED KOESEL W. A. B. E. E. SMITH ADOLPH C. F. GRIM I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies. SAVING THE WORLD Nobody in the world is going to starve to death on account of the greedy grip of a remorseless trust Here is real public service, don't you think? At all events, we are thus reminded that any producers who wish sincerely to relieve the ills of the people may do so. The diamond-trust is, indeed, a public benefactor; which may not be as unprofitable a vocation as some have imagined. ALLING MAKES DENIAL Denials of allegations made by Mrs. Claudia Alling, who is suing her husband, W. T. Alling, for separate maintenance; that he and Grover Deakins, now in control of the Cherry Blossom confectionery at Anaheim, had entered into a conspiracy for the purpose of getting Mrs. Alling to leave the Alling home in the rear of the establishment, were contained in an answer which Eden & Koepeel of Santa Ana, attor- neys for Alling and Deakins, had on file in superior court Thursday. It was denied in the answer that Alling, without any consideration, gave Deakins a bill of sale to the Cherry Blossom. The allegation, made by Mrs. Alling that certain of the alleged acts NOTICE This is to certify that Thomas Lenehan, age 5 years, Paul Lenehan, age 5 years, and James Lenehan, age 7 years; Abraham Balentine, Hugo and Charles Ayala, respectively 10, 9, 8, and 4 years of age; Roger and Allan Cheautueax, age 8 and 5 years respectively; William and Roy Young, age 6 and 8 years respectively; Frank and Charles Lagutoris, age 8 and 6 years respectively; Anthony and Alberto Frasconi, age 12 and 5 years respectively; were admitted into St. Catharine's, Anaheim, California, since the last publication. DOMINICAN SISTERS October, 1919. 12-25-4t SAVING THE WORLD Nobody in the world is going to starve to death on account of the greedy grip of a remorseless trust on the rough diamond supply. Odd conceit, is it not? Of course nobody ever starved to death for lack of diamonds. But some might. If Charlotte, the chic chocolate dipper, were deprived of her sparks on the night of the swell dance it is not beyond reason, as a modern mind might conclude, that she would be so humiliated she could not eat. Thence by logical mental steps you follow her to the grave. Thrilling and terrible, you say, and we agree with you. But it is not to be. The diamond trust has visualized the possibilities and set an example to the milk man, the coal man and others who are likewise purveyors of the necessaries of life. Anything that anyone wants is a necessity these days. Everybody wants diamonds and most everybody can pay for them except people on salary, and they are not to be pitied even. To prevent injustice in the distribution of diamonds a central station has been established in London. From there the suffering public will be supplied, not at famine prices, but at such terms as the traffic will bear, as we understand the scheme. Price lists are to be revised monthly, which may be fairer than the daily revision of food prices.
