"Are you with them?" he demanded of the throng. A mighty "yes" answered.

"When you go into battle," he said to the boys before him, "when you hear the German shell screaming out overhead as the assault begins you will know that there are 29,000 people in San Bernardino who honor you lor your sacrifice you are making to de-f nd the stars and stripes and defend tlx? civilisation of the world.

Cucamonga Mountains Are Threatened by Forest fire Contuoad from Pa cms) Lewis canyon, which is above Alta Loma.

A big force of fire fighters was called from Etiwanda and strenuous efforts were being made last to halt the fire before it reached the heavy timber line. The Lytic creek watershed, several miles distant, would be the most dangerous territory for the flames to reach. The flames will be fanned by the winds from the west, but tlwre is plenty of time to back-fire and clear a big break before the tlames could approach the Lytic creek region. City Creek Fire Out After fighting flames for a whole week, rangers Sunday completely surrounded the City creek brush fire ami yesterday the last vestige of the fire was stamped out by a force of about 20 men left overnight to prevent a possible outbreak. The two arms of the fire, one extending into Nash Flats the other to Alder creek, were closed in Sunday afternoon.

Most of the force came down then. Yesterday the balance of the men returned. The fire burned over several rquare miles of brush. It denuded the sides of City creek canyon, and in case of heavy rains next winter the people tn Highland, where the creek has bs out let, will prepare to look out. District Ranger Jeken has nothing but praise for the men from Riverside and Fon- tana who formed the force which made "the last stand' and successfully stamped it out.

i 'ITHOUT a doubt the baseball evangelist batted 1.000 per cent In his opening meeting In Los Angeles Sunday. The attendance was estimated at 50,000 and the reporters emphasize above everything else me luimcuun 01 wnai one ot mem designates as Hilly Sunday "consuming sincerity." At the close of an extremely appreciative article about the rfny, Otheman Stevens observes: "What does it matter aboui his theology? He preaches Christ, end God, and Old Glory." It will be noted that it is stated above that Stevens wrote bout the t'cetinRs. Stevens ecys if he had been detailed to "report that sermon, 1 situ ply would have pocketed my copy paper, aught my way out and turned In my resignation. A dictograph would have to quit such a job, for Billy Sunday would twist its works into junk at the first volley of words." As comprehensive a sketch of the evangelist and his day's work as we found in brief was not written by a newspaperman but by a Los Angeles preacher who ha a mighty good newspaper In yesterday's "Exnmincr" Rev.

It is the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. It is God and Billy Sunday! There he sat before 15,000 people. More thousands and thousands were turned away.

"We are firing the first gun," said Mayor Woodman, "to make Los Angeles more free from certain contaminating influences," and Billy was loaded and on hairltrigger.

This for example, describing Joshua addressing Jehovah on the day of tls great battle: "Lord I am not going to be able to finish this job before supper unless you stop jour big clock.

I'll lick this measly bunch to a frazzle and send your name ringing down the centuries. And God reached MP and grabbed the sun end said: "You stay there and don't you move an inch until my servant Joshua gives you the high-ball. Billy said glowing things about Los Angeles, but he threw out the challenge to the "whisky bunch." saying he'd give them the best run for their money they've ever had. "The dirty bunch have, been lying about me for 20 years," he shouted. "I ask no quarter and I'll give none." He defied the forces of hell and cor-jMption and in the next sentence declared himself an optimist of the opU- He rang true in his loyalty to the bible, to the divinity of Christ, to America.

He refused to preach against the Catholics so tow as Protestanism had so much rubbish in its own back yard. "Don't knock." he cried, "you can't saw wood with a hammer."
