WWT NEAR MY INDEPENDENT WOMEN WILL PROTECTQUR PRISONERS l MEMBERS OP RELIEF CORPS DE CIOE TO TAKE PLEDOE TO FORCE HUMANE PRISONERS IN GERMANY It Is reported that .the members of tbe Klamath Chapter of the Woman's Relief Corp will sign the pledge of the League for, tbe Protection of American Prisoners in Germany. The nledae la aa follews: "I do hereby fledge myself to re frain from baylac German made ar ticles after the war IF any American prisoners of war receive other than humane treatment at the bands of Ger many." It to kaUtrat that if the woaaea of this country will sign this agreement It will be a big safeguard against the atrocities that the. allied prisoners have Buffered at the hands of the ene my during tha previous year of tbe conflict. German's Irst problem after the war.wiU.be aa.eaawomlr one, and aba will be slow to push a practice which ahe knowa will revert to her own dls aater In after year. Mrs. Chas. Eberleln of tbla city has charce of this work, and it la hoped br tbe Relief Corps members that a large number of the women resident will aaaume tbe obligation. Those who sign will pay 10 cents for the cost of printing pledgea and helping to spread the movement CAUCUS IS HELD AT MOOSE HALL ..TU1DAY aft1-N00n AT SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHICH DELEGATES ARE PRES ENT FROM MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTY To organise for the launching of an Independent ticket In the field for tbe county offices next fall, delegates from all narta of the county gathered with Klamath Falls voters at Moose hall Saturday afternoon, and perfected an nramnlxatlon. It la' reported that another meeting at which officers will be selected win ha held on next Saturday. It is tbe apparent Intention of this body to run an entire list of candidates in onDoaitlon to the republican and democratic candldatea selected at the primaries. That this move Is the outcome or a plan contemplated for some time Is generally believed, -and la probably mora or less responsible for tbe fact that there waa ao little opposition at the primary election. , m WRECK ON MAIN LINE DELAYS LOCAL TRAIN A wreck of a freight train on tha BouUjera, Paelflo railroad sear Bissea oa Saturday, ta which seven ooxcars warn thrown from the track, delayed passenger trains on tbe main line so that tha train wnicn snouia navo maenad Klamath Falla last night did not make connections, and reached the elty about I o'clock tbla pomiag. m TKKETWHL BE LAUNCHED PEOPLE ASKED TO USE LESS WHEAT FLOUR SALES AT STORES WILL IE STOP PED F.OR FIVE DAYS PEOPLE ASKED TO CO-OPERATE WITH FOOD OFFICIALS IN MEETING CRISIS A strenuous appeal -to tbe people of the tTnted States to do without wheat entirely, or Just aa nearly as possible, until tbe next harvest comes on, has been made by the food administration. To this end a notice haa been re ceived by George Cbastaln, who is act ing as county food administrator In tha ihimiM nt naorire T. TJaldwln. That all sales of flour will be stopped in tbe stores for Ave days, beginning today. This move Is made to prevent it possible run of flour purchases by less patriotic persons by the announce ment of the Increased shortage. It la admitted that a small amount of wheat flour Is necessary for use aa a binder In haklnr'the substitutes, but It 1 honed by the administration that tha amount used in tha tatenraJjemalnlag will be reduced to a miatawm. , -; T MEN ENLISTING OVER FORTY TO BE PLACED IN NON-COMBATANT SERVICE MOVE WOULD LEASE YOUNGER MEN FIGHTING RE FOR WA8H1NOTON. D. C May 27. An other move toward full utilisation of iho countnr'a man power was made Saturday when Secretary Baxer seni tc conn-ess tbe draft of a bill propos ing to raise the maximum age limit In the army from 40 to 55 years. All men ever 40 so enlisted would be assigned to non-combatant service. In a letter to-Speaker Clark, asking that the bill be pushed, Secretary Bak er said: Every man above the age of 40 year who la enlisted In non-combatant branchea of the service, will make available for duty with tbe line troops a man within the prescribed age limit for all trooDs. "Many men whose long experience aa mechanics and artisans will mane them particularly valuable to the vari oua staff corps and department may be tbua secured, Instead or younger men without auch experience, and the efficiency of the staff corps and the de partments will thus be increased." There probably are 7.5W.WU men Be tween the ages of 40 and 55, and many thousands of them already atteated their desire to serve by bombarding the denartment with applications. While the great majority ox tne men in tbla clasa undoubtedly will be re strained from enlisting by family and business ties, the number at liberty to join. the colorsls expected to be mora than sufficient to meet the purpose In vlsw. ... a .
