NEW PLANS FOR MOBILIZING TROOPS Plans for the feeding, sheltering and supplying of troops which have never before been tried out in the United States will be placed into effect in the event of mobilization. The new plans will affect principally units of the Organized Reserves which are to be mobilized, sheltered and fed in their home towns and will resemble somewhat the system of billeting as practiced in Europe. These plans and others of particular interest from the standpoint of supply were explained in a speech given by Colonel Harry F. Rethers, Quartermaster of the Ninth Corps Area, in a speech at a meeting of the San Francisco Sector of the Association of the Army of the United States, Monday afternoon, March 31. Several months ago when mobilization plans were being drawn up, the concentration of troops into divisional centers and their housing in cantonment buildings similar to those used in the late war, were contemplated. This scheme was open to objection on account of the great length of time necessary for the construction of cantonments and the enormous expense involved. General Pershing disapproved this plan and decided that so far as the reserve organizations were concerned, they would be mobilized in their own home towns, would develop a strong community support. The men mobilized in their own home tiwns would sleep at home and eat in restaurants until such time as messing facilities were provided. It is planned to have as much as possible of the preliminary outfitting and supplying of the soldiers done in the communities in which they live, modify the celebrated aphorism by exalting instead, "Mobilization is hell." The quartermaster personnel required to perform the mobilization activities in the Ninth Corps Area alone totals 1,700 officers and 24,000 enlisted men, not including quartermaster personnel regularly assigned to combatant units. In the Ninth Corps Area it is contemplated that all shelter for localized units will be provided by unit commanders and that the only construction necessary to be provided by the Corps Area Quartermaster will be at certain centralization points known as reception centers and replacement centers. Reception and replacement centers will be established near large centers of population. Reception centers will receive the personnel inducted into the service and who are not assigned to organizations of the Regular Army, Nationl Guard or Organized Reserves at the time of enrollment. Replacement centers will receive recruits from reception centers and train them for the various arms of the service. Standardized barracks and quarters for officers and enlisted men will be provided at both replacement and reception centers. All barracks, mess halls, administratiaon buildings and officers' quarters will have the same dimensions. They will be of portable construction and will be manufactured at mills and shops throughout the country and shipped to the various localities ready for assembly. It is not contemplated that the government will interfere with the conduct of the rail and water transportation activities in time of mobilization but that the present civilian agencies will conduct their operation, the only restriction being that priori- left in the United States the three State of Caand Washington, and supply some 14 performia. The forest lands o State are of its greasets. They cover a t acres of timbered an est land—an area gree the States of New'L sachusetts, Rhode Inticit combined.

And plan and decided that so far as the reserve organizations were concerned, they would be mobilized in their own home towns, would develop a strong community support. The men mobilized in their own home tiwns would sleep at home and eat in restaurants until such time as messing facilities were provided. It is planned to have as much as possible of the preliminary outfitting and supplying of the soldiers done in the communities in which they live, such as fitting of uniforms by local tailors, the hire of dormitories, leasing of target ranges, rental of drill grounds and other arrangements which will be made by the local unit commander. As originally planned 40 mobilization units were to be established in the Ninth Corps Area but under the new plans there will be more than 400 such points which will have to be supplied by the Quartermaster Corps. While this increases the task of distribution and the difficulties of accounting details have been worked out which are expected to obviate most of the difficulties. One of the lessons of the World war showed that procurement of supplies must be decentralized. Accordingly the United states has been divided into 14 districts, each in charge of an officer whose duty is to prepare an industrial survey of manufactures in his district. Based on reports submitted by this officer, the quantity of specified articles which can be furnished by any district are determined. Upon mobilization the War Department would merely send out a telegram to the 14 district officers who would in turn telegraph the manufacturers concerned, who have already been made acquainted with the plans and specifications of the articles to be produced, the rate of output and the place of delivery, so that much confusion and several months delay of time of delivery will be obviated as the result of this preliminary survey. The amount of supplies produced in the district will not necessarily be sufficient to meet with the demands of the troops to be mobilized in the corps area. For instance, the items of uniforms and shoes of the Ninth Corps Area will have to be manufactured for the most part in the eastern industrial centers. On the other hand, articles of canned and dried fruits are peculiarly a Pacific Coast product, so that on this district will devolve the necessity of supplying officers quarters will have the same dimensions. They will be of portable construction and will be manufactured at mills and shops throughout the country and shipped to the various localities ready for assembly. It is not contemplated that the government will interfere with the conduct of the rail and water transportation activities in time of mobilization but that the present civilian agencies will conduct their operation, the only restriction being that priority of movement, both as regards personnel and material, will be established by the government. However, proposed legislation would authorize the commandeering or impressment of transportation in times of national emergency which would be come operative merely on the issuance of a Presidential proclamation. It is the policy of the War Department in time of emergency to use motor transportation almost entirely except in combatant units where animal transportation is prescribed by the tables of organization. Over 84,000 animals and more than 24,000 vehicles will be required to equip organizations and stations when mobilization has been completed; and the requirements of combatant organizations and the animal transportation units in the armies and the communication zone will more than exhaust the present supply of animals available for military purposes. From the viewpoint of supply, transportation and shelter a successful mobilization can be accomplished without unnecessary confusion, undue delay and excessive cost, only when its plans have been prepared in time of peace. This is the first time in the history of our country that systematic and nation-wide effort has ever been undertaken towards effecting a solution. HELP PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S FOREST Shall we reduce fire losses in California by individual cooperation and care, or allow our valuable forests to become unproductive acres and an overwhelming economic burden? Forest Protection Week, proclaimed by President Coolidge in accordance with precedent first established in 1921 by the late President Harding, will be observed throughout the nation during the period April 21 to 27, inclusive. Of the numerous weeks dedicated to worthy purposes, no other officers quarters will have the same dimensions. They will be of portable construction and will be manufactured at mills and shops throughout the country and shipped to the various localities ready for assembly.

Fire and Forests Supplies manufactured in the various districts will be shipped from the plants to general depots, 11 of which are to be located in various portions of the United States. Two of these depots will be established in the Ninth Corps Area. From these depots the supplies will again be forwarded in bulk to the corps which receives its articles from the wholesaler and disposes of them in small quantities direct to the consumer, namely, the unit located within the boundaries of its supply area. In order to avoid long back hauls, interior distributing points will be established to supply the troops inland. Supply tables containing a list of every quartermaster article of equipment required by the men of all units and also of all the office supplies, furniture, cooking utensils, etc., needed to equip every post, camp and station in the corps area have been prepared. The work involved in compiling these tables has occupied the officers in charge of the supply division for nine months. The tables now stack up to a height of over eight feet. The mere sight o fan adding machine is cabugh to bring cold beads of perspiration to that officer and it is probable that he feels that if General Sherman were living today he would Shall we reduce air losses in California by individual cooperation and care, or allow our valuable forests to become unproductive acres and an overwhelming economic burden? Forest Protection Week, proclaimed by President Coolidge in accordance with precedent first established in 1921 by the late President Harding, will be observed throughout the nation during the period April 21 to 27, inclusive. Of the numerous weeks dedicated to worthy purposes, no other is so closely related to the continued well-being and prosperity of California as this week, which has for its objective the awakening of the public conscience to a realization of the value of our magnificent forests and the necessity for their wise use and perpetuation. Throughout the centuries the world's civilization has been built on a foundation of wood, and the high plane of American culture, of which we boast, is due in a large measure to industrial and social progress made possible by an unlimited wealth of forest resources. "A country without trees is a country without hope," and the pages of history are replete with examples o f nations that have lost their high place in the councils of the world through the ruthless destruction of their forests. The spectre of waning timber resources has already cast its lengthening shadow over a large part of the United States. The vast pineries of Maine and the Lake States have passed into history; the "inexhaustible" forests of the South are rapidly following in their wake, and "the most wonderful forests the world ever knew,"—the heritage of every American, are making their last stand against the west-ward sweep of civilization in the rugged mountain ranges that overlook the Pacific. Fifty per cent of all the virgin timber that is ANAHEIM GAZETTE left in the United States is today in the three State of California, Oregon and Washington, and of this available supply some 14 per cent is in California. The forest lands of the Golden State are of its greatest natural assets. They cover a total of 15,500,000 acres of timbered and potential forest land—an area greater in size than the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut combined. In value they represent over $750,000,000 worth of standing timber, and in volume it is estimated that they contain sufficient lumber to build 43,000,000 five-room bungalows. More than 25,000 men are engaged in lumbering and wood using industries which annually turn out products valued at $100,000,000. We may treat all this wealth of forest resources like these that are "mined," never to be replaced; or we may, by combining scientific management with sensible utilization and protection, make them sufficiently productive to supply all our future timber needs. But we can not "have our cake and eat it." Timber, however, is not the only valuable resource of California's mighty forests. As a conserver and regulator of water flow they stand preeminent. Within them are found the watersheds which furnish two thirds of the 7,000,000 horse power of potential hydro-electric energy that can be developed in the mountain regions of the State or within their boundaries. Over 85 per cent of the 4 14 million acres of farms and orchards now under irrigation are directly dependent on the forests for water. Hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep which go to furnish the meat supply of the country are grazed on forest ranges. And in addition to all these commercial values are the STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC. REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912.

Helen Melhorn Notary Public (Seal) My commission expires Nov. 14, 1927 NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF ANNA HILBERS, Deceased Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, Otto Hilbers, Executor of the will of Anna Hilbers, Deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them, with the neces- watersheds which furnish two thirds of the 7,000,000 horse power of potential hydro-electric energy that can be developed in the mountain regions of the State or within their boundaries. Over 85 per cent of the 41-4 million acres of farms and orchards now under irrigation are directly dependent on the forests for water. Hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep which go to furnish the meat supply of the country are grazed on forest ranges. And in addition to all these commercial values are the intangible assets of good health and recreation, which the forests, as the great summer playgrounds of all the people, furnish. All these forest resources may be destroyed by selfish exploitation, unfavorable legislation or by fire—but the greatest of these destructive agencies is FIRE. California, with a record of 2,240 conflagrations that burned over 942,565 acres, was the worst fire state in the Union in 1923. And the responsibility for these fires and the resultant damage, which amounted to over 13-4 million dollars to timber and property, largely rests on our citizens; for 70 per cent of all the fires that occurred were man-caused through careless acts that could have been prevented. The President has dedicated one week of the year to this important task of forest preservation. But it is the duty of everyone who has the interests of California at heart to make every week Forest Protection Week. Slogans for Forest Protection Week: Burned forests build no homes. All outdoors is yours—but not to burn up. Leave a clean camp and a dead fire. Human carelessness is the cause of 80 per cent of California's forest fires. Make "Care with fire" your watchword in the woods. Be sure your camp fire is dead—then bury it. Taxes go up when forests burn down—You pay. A one-cent cigarette may start a $10,000 forest fire. Put out that snipe. Forests mean health and wealth. Help prevent fires. Eternal vigilance with fire is the price of a successful vacation in the mountains. Be careful with fire today—tomorrow may be too late. Help keep the mountains green—Be careful with fire. The forest's prime evil—smouldering cigarettes.
