New War With Gas
PARIS, Dec. 15.—Germany is planning another war with a new and deadly poison gas that will penetrate any mask and especially designed airplains charged with liquids that will annihilate cities, Andre Michelin, speaking before a gathering of political and industrial leaders, charged.
Michelin raised a bogle of renewed warfare similar to that conjured up by Georges Clemenceau in the United States, declaring German factories are busy turning out implements of war, chief among which, outside of poisons, would be special torpedo-carrying planes.

H. S. “VODE” BILL MAKES FINE HIT
The Xmas vaudeville matinee at the Anaheim H. S. auditorium was enthusiastically received this afternoon. The affair will be repeated again this evening when a large crowd is anticipated. The show was the largest and best ever staged by High school talent. The credit of the success of the show must be extended Miss Lucille Bickley for her excellent staging of the event.
Miss MacLean played an important role in the show as she supervised the construction of new sets, scenery, props and costumes, which were made by her art classes and the sewing classes. Mrs. Marian Higgin's had charge of the music and dance numbers were in charge of Mrs. Fern Amack and Miss Irene Jacques.
The big feature of the show, the ministrels, was a scream from soup to nuts and proved to be real rib ticklers. Charles O'Toole entertained with his famous dancing, while Elvin Grauer furnished songs and there were group songs.
The other headliner was the fashion show which held all eyes as pretty girls walled majestically across the stage with gorgeous gowns, striking jewelry and the latest in hats.
The filvering stunt was a new one and brought down the house with peals of laughter. Two of the prettiest acts were the Japanese and

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Here is a brief summary of the course Uncle Sam is expected to follow in the European tangle over the peace treaty, war debts and German indemnity:
America regards war debts and indemnity as two separate questions.
America favors reducing German reparation to a sum it is possible to pay.
America is interested in indemnity only as far as it affects the "general health" of Europe.
America would openly frown upon French military occupation of additional German territory.
America would not oppose bankers here making a gigantic loan to rehabilitate Germany.
America will not cancel the war debts owed her by the allied nations, but will grant liberal terms of settlement.

Mr. Beard invites others who desire to contribute to what now appears without doubt will be the biggest community celebration of the kind ever staged in Orange-co to communicate with him at the Pac. Tel. & Tel. Co. or mail their checks direct.
An important boost was given the project today when it became known that Mayor Wm. Stark urged the planting in the city park of a Christmas tree to be used every year. The committee "fell for the idea" at once and may make the planting ceremony a part of the celebration.
"I believe we should plant in an appropriate part of the park a large Christmas tree," said the mayor. "This will grow with the city and can be used year after year for such celebrations as planted for Friday evening of next week."
Another feature suggested today for the celebration was made by Pres. Harry D. Riley of the C. of C. who thinks a street dance following the tree festivities for the children would be fine fun for adults. Lemon-st could be roped off and hundreds would participate.

PONTIAC, Ill., Dec. 15.—Myron Corbridge was hanged at 9:07 a.m. today in a dingy auctioneer's tent in the jail yard.
The 21-year-old boy paid the penalty for the murder of "Sol" Jones, a guard over him at the Illinois State reformatory here, which occurred exactly six months ago.
This child of the jails, who has spent half the years of his life in penalty institutions and who would have had his twenty-second birthday tomorrow if he had lived, displayed a granite stoelism at the approach of death. He stepped out without faltering trides as he accompanied the priest, Father J. H. Cannon, Sheriff L. M. Shugart and the deputies on the death march.
On the scaffold, borrowed from Cook-Corbridge read a poem and died denying his guilt.

Yungbluth and Joe Carroll at the exact point where the heavy outbreak of water occurred last December and January.
By 11 o'clock, men teams and tools were dispatched to this point and some 20 large loads of brush were wedged down between the bank wall and the levee at every point which showed any signs of even slight leakage.
Many of the ranchers living close to the river furnished their time and teams and the work was directed by Messrs A. Nagel, Geo. Weatherly, F.A. Yungbluth, C.M. Hollinghead, Joe Carroll and E.M. Chambers.
Today the work of piling brush next to the bank and piling is being continued. The levee is packed down by the rains so that it holds even trucks and a survey of the whole job satisfies the executive committee of the Anahiem Flood Control that it will bear all the burdens imposed on it. The residents in this flood district are assured by the committee that in spite of their confidence in the safety of the work, proper vigilance will be exercised same as in the case of Garden Grove and other districts of Orange-co. Last night the river had subsided one foot and a half below the flood stretch of $o'clock in the morning.

There is no better demonstration of the rapid expansion of Anaheim desired than the large number of choice subdivisions being put on the market and as rapidly gobbled up by home builders, said Asst. City Engineer Clyde Butler today.
Last year 12 tracts including 340 acres were submitted to and approved by city council.
