The Klamath Chapter or the Ameri
can Red Cross as first organized, had
Jurisdiction over Klamath County only.
The promptness and enthusiasm of the
women of this city in responding to
the National need, especially the work
of the 8prague Post or the Women's
Relief Corps who, without waiting,
Marled a campaign membership In
the Red Cross and who on the day the
Red Croaa Chapter was organized
turned over 117 paid memberships
which they have since Increased con
siderably, has attracted attention at
Headquarters. The result Is that be
fore the Klamath Chapter was fairly
organized, its jurisdiction has been In
creased to Include ljkc County. It Is
evidently the Intention to make Klam
ath Falla the center for the American
Red Cross for a great part of eastern
Oregon. The magnitude or mo nonor
thus conferred aa well aa the Import

GOVERNOR LISTER
MAKES A PLEA
SAYS WAR IS GOING TO BE A
LONG ONE AND AMERICA FACES
80ME BIG PROBLEM8
WHICH
8HE MUST SOLVE.
OL.YMPIA. Wash.. May 23 Hero is
Governor Lister's plea to the people
of the nerthwest:
"When I left for the east I held the
belief that the war would bo over fh
a few months. I now feel that the
authorities will be making a grae mis
tnko if their preparations are not
based on the probability of a long
war. Our chief fault as a people Is
that we have the idea of ictory con
stantly in our minds. We.never think
of defeat. Right now, too many peo
ple soe lctory and to what defeat
would mean to the country.
"The present intention of tho U. S.
Government Is to send troops to
Finnco as soon as possible.
"Remember we are facing what is
stilt the strongest military organiza
tion ever known in the history of the
world. The end not jet is in sight.
Our allies need our help. With troops
in Franco, it is up to those at home
to build up the food supply, as the
man in the field will be of as much
Importance as the man in the trenches,
I can say that the rear or over-production
which looms so large to many ot
our farmers need not be considered.
There will be no surplus, no matter
bow much we raise.
"We (ace aa a nation the most ser
ious crisis In our history. I believe
that a majority or the people r (he
State or Washington were opposed to
(he conscription idea. Bui If conscrip
tion la Intelligently carried out it will
reault in feeing that those wbo go to
the front can best be spared at borne.
"Wo must all get .together and stand
by our nation and our etato and every
man mutt put bis whole aoul in (be
effort, (o wig thls;war, regardless of
personal sacrifice,"
