MAN WHO HAS LOST ARM AND
LUNG' IN CONFLICT WILL
BRING MESSAGE TO PEOPLE
OF KLAMATH WITHIN A FEW
DAYS
liOCAL PEOPLE WILL GET FIRST
HAND INFORMATION OF WAR
ZONE CONDITIONS FROM ONE
WHO HAS SEEN MUCH OF THE
STRIFE
Tbe chance to bear a truly great
speech on tbe great world war now
raging In Europe by one of tbe vet
erans of the trenches, who has given
nearly everything but his enthusiasm
for the conquering of the Hun, is to
be afforded residents of Klamath
Falls on March 2d and 3d.
' It Is unquestionably a fact that
while Klamath County has done Its
full share in anawerlng nearly all the
war calls made so far, In a patriotic
manner, the real situation has aot
been grasped, nor the enthusiasm
routed here at it hat in many sec
tions, because of lack of contact with
those who could give first band In
formation of life at tbaront.
Reading the presg dispatches, Rear
ing what some one has heard so and
so say, teeing soldiers In the moving
pictures, will all go a certain distance
In stimulating the public, but when
a real live man who bas lost an arm,
had one of bis lungs ruined with gas,
and shows other evidences of activity,
stands up before an audience and
tells Jutt bow thlngt are really car
ried on, It is bound to reach tbe
heart atrings of any man or woman
who baa a heart at all.
Realising what such an event
would mean to this community, a
number of prominent business men
have been making an effort to get a
speaker of this kind for some time,
and have been able to secure dates
from Sergeant Fred "Doc" Welts, who
hat been creating such a sensation lu
the cities of the United States dur
ing the past few months. Word has
just been received from H. D. Mor
tenson at 8an Francisco that Sergeant
(Continued on page 4)
sweaters and half a doxen pairs of
'I
socks and wristlets. Members have
set a mark to double this output in
tho near future.
A cordial invitation ta extended to
all In that district to coma and par
ticipate in tbtt work. Those present
last week were Meidsmes M. Miller.
