",'iV'v. ia furtherance of that program, the
s " manpower bill was framed, to make
available the selected ages of 18 to
46, and a necessary part of that plan

ties find they are needed. Every re
atrietlon congress might add In the way

drags Just that much on the ability of
: vithe country to win the war.
"C, i ! Some Explaining Ahead
':; Congressional leaders who tried to put
brakse on the wagon will have some ex
plaining to do if the people of the country
noa fully understand the meaning of
' -it Those who contended that men under
11 should not be called until all the
' ' " " older men are In service have for the
-". most part ignored the facts upon which
. , . the entire program is based.
First, the fact that the men needed
' cannot be had from the older classes.
Second, that the men of 20 and 19 are
better fitted for winning the fight, man
i for man, than those of 40 and -41 Third,
r that by dragging out the call of younger
xnen until the older men are In, the war
also Is likely to be dragged out until
these same younger men will themselves

i !. and suffering than If an overwhelm
i Ing force of men of all the military ages

T7se IS Class Last
: : I '.Secretary Baker repeatedly explained
that the plans of the war department
' contemplate using the 18 year class last,
1 ' but he wanta to have no restrictions on
..- calling them out for training, so that
'when the. time to wia arrives. It will
sot be said that America was three
" . months, or six months, too b.te, in sup-
, plying the men.
'The South was least responsive to the
- desires of the administration. In giving It,
without limitations, then power to deal
rwlth coming events. Speaker Clark, Ma
jority Leader Kltchln and Chairman
Dent of the military affairs commutes
'all wanted to create separate, classes of j
. .the younger men and strait-Jacket the;
' war department in handling them.
:v: Credit may be given the Republican
leaders in the house in this regard, for!

Longworth and Julius Kahn. minority

recommendations.
! Johnson Made Mistake
- f Congressman Albert Johnson of Wash-
Ington made a serious mistake, when,
! opposing the calling of the 18-year-V
i.old class, he exhibited an undersized
v house page In military equipment and
declaimed against sending such boys to
1 the trenches.
The momentary applause which fol
lowed this exhibition nas feeble In com
t parlson to the ovation which the house
. -; t gave four 18-year-old marines who stood
s up in the gallery a few minutes later
. at the request of Ttlson of Connecticut
v. It appears that Tllson had received a
"tip" on the Johnson terformance, and
i, : he. hastily discovered' four manly look--.
Ing marines, and asked the house to turn
', V. to them to see what the 18-year-old
soldiers look like.

Young boys and girls are causing more
trouble for the police department today
than the older people" did t few years
ago, according- to the. report of Mrs. G.
J. Frankel, superintendent of the
women's ' protective division at police
headquarters. The . in women in the
department held 196 interviews with al
leged wayward children and their Dar
ents during the past month. 132 of these
being entirely new cases. Fourteen chil
dren were reported missing to the
bureau, of which 11 were located. The
workers visited 211 homes, according to
tne report.
One of the surprising features of the
report is that but eight children were
sent to the juvenile court. The women
csred for 11 Insane and three sick per
sons. Fifteen cases were brought before
Judge Rossman in the municipal court
and four cases -were taken before the
grand Jury. It was found necessary to
Bend nine women to the city detention
home. -
Mrs. Frankel said that an effort will
be made during the coming months to
reauce crime among juveniles. As a
preventative the plain clothes officers
and women -officers have been ordered
to enforce the curfew law rigidly. . All
young people under 18 years of age are
by law supposed to be in their homes by
9 o'clock, unless they, are accompanied
by an older guardian. All between 18
and 21 must be on their way home be
fore the clock strikes ,12.
The superintendent also Intimated that
action may be taken to. close all grilles
In the city at 11 o'clock if the young
people continue . to impose upon the
good graces of the police. The women's
department has also declared war on
American girls working in Greek coffee
houses and restaurants.
Alaska No Place
For Comfort, Says
Forest Surveyor
Mosquito and hard winters mar what
otherwise would be the life Ideal in
Alaska; according to George W, Root of
the district forest service, who has Just
returned from his third trip to the north.
He spent four months surveying in . the
Tongass national? forest and declared the
mosquito pest Is almost unbearable.
Mr. Root laid out 18 homesteads dur
ing the season all of which are along
me coast ana average isu acres in size.
The settlers are able to raise almost
any kind of vegetables in the short sum
mer season and these grow to an enorm
ous sise, as do the abundant berries. The
settlers .make their living by fishing
however, and, since all the farms bor
der the coast, travel altogether by boat
The forest service man scouted the
idea that this part of Alaska would ever
be used as a land of opportunity for re
turned -soldiers after the war is over,
saying the only Industries which could
flourish are fishing- and mining, and
these operated only during the summer.
The work or fight ruling is also affect-
Ing many of the men employed and they
are rushing back rfo the states, he said.
Towns are almost empty. The mines at
Juneau "are running one fourth capacity
and only a third of the season. Cordova
is at present the only live town In
Alaska, acordlng to Mr. Root, who trav
eled as far north as Seward. ,
But with all Its discomforts, Mr. Root
said the Alaskan sunsets were the most
wonderful he had ever seen.

becomes apparent -in a number of In
quiries which come to the district forest
office, according to A. O. Jackson, forest
examiner. ' ,
An editor of a Northwestern paper
wrote, asking for permission to roam in
the Rainier forest reserve during his va
cation. "Forest reserves" ceased to ex
ist away back In 1905, according to Mr.
Jackson, and have been known ever
since as "national forests" and no per
mit is -ever necessary for anyone to
travel or camp in them, so long as he
observes -the state game and fish laws
and is careful of f irea The national for
ests are for the use of the public and
the state game laws are the only restric
tions as to hunting and fishing, except In
the case of flab or game preserves.
Suggestions as to Improvement in op
eration of the national forests are wel
comed by the forest service.

Requests Made
Already for Fourth
Liberty Bonds
Klamath Falls. Aug. J I. Although no
blanka of the Fourth Liberty loan sub
scriptions have been received - here yet,
and ; applications cannot be' received
until September 15, It is reported that
several voluntary offers from patriotic
citizens -have been ' received at head
quarters. And in most cases, too, the
offers have been in excess of the
probable quotas of the individuals mak
ing them.
While unable to accept the subscrip
tions as yet. the pledges have served to
Inspire the campaign workers under the
direction of County Chairman Arthur
R. Wilson, and can be taken as an indi
cation of the support the big loan is
going to receive here.
One of the offers received today by
the First State & Savings bank, here
was. from Hans Jorgenson, a rancher in
the Malin section about 30 miles south
of here, and was for $1000.
