June 23, 1941! PAGE TWO THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON RUSSIAN RULE OVER BALTIC SEEN MENACED (Continued from Page One) V air fores pounded Russian bases and communications in a tide of destruction which the German high command announced was proceeding "on schedule and suc cessfully." From Kaunas, Lithuania, capi tal of a little republic fronting on Germany which Russia ab sorbed last June, this announce ment was broadcast: "The Lithuanian people, with all the means at their disposal. will fight for freedom and inde pendence. Rear Guard Attack The Kaunas radio apparently already was in the hands of a coup government. Rearguard attack on Russian troop emplacements and com munications in Lithuania were presaged by an appeal of the new regime to the people to take up arms "in order to assist the German army in liberating Lithuania from the bolshevik oc cupants," and to receive the Germans with open arms. Kazys Sklrpa, former Lithuan ian minister to Berlin, became premier of the new government, according to the Kaunas radio, and General Stasys Rastikis, former defense minister, has taken up his old post. Delaying Action The coup was credited to the "front of Lithuanian activities." Russia acknowledged a 10- mile German penetration of Lithuania from East Prussia. It was likely the Russians deliber ately abandoned their new for tifications in the same region, Poland and Bessarabia and northern Bucovina, fighting a delaying action until a stand could be made on the primary fortifications along the old Rus sian frontier. Whether Russia would with draw from bases and territory which she wrested In her war with Finland and which guard the land and sea approaches to Leningrad remained to be seen, but the Finnish government's statement of neutrality followed a denial that German forces were using Finnish bases. Soviet Strikes The Finns said, however, so viet bombers had struck swiftly at their ports and shipping a few hours after Adolf Hitler started his dawn offensive against U. S. S. R. Helsinki had a 25-minute air alarm this morning and Tur ku a 50-minute alarm, but no bombs fell. The conflict ranged from con tinued maneuvers for position in the far north where, in Fin land, the 2,000-mile front touches the Arctic sea, to the fierce encounter of men and machines, aloft and aground, in the central and southern sectors.

There is soothing in the elemental, end less flow of wa ter that makes mundane things seem far away. Streams are like people the greatest are not always most agreeable. Lit tle streams seem to have, like certain folks, the ability to excite your interest merely by their presence. Little streams have small responsibilities. They are not expected to supply horsepower to great cities in thousand units. It is enough that they run their amiable course and green the groves and fields on their banks. We can learn from them. It is not ordered that every man or woman must be or do some thing great. Much of the world's unrest comes from the false idea that each one must let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things and suggesting some plan for improvement. Still more comes from the notion that a man's life consists of the things that he that it is somehow more respect- uio una pious to be eternally at work making a larger living than it is to lie on your back beside the waters of a little itream and thank God that you ire alive Next Monday Mr. Whitlock f the Earl Whitlock Funeral some will comment on The Volunteer Fireman. . ....... .,, , II mii mi ii Hi i f'TF -&&t 4") 'jjv ' - la the presence oi German Rlbbentrop (standing, center) soviet Russia, in the German secretary of state in charge of press relations; at Ribbentrop's left is Dr. Paul Schmidt, inter preter.

Japan Watched For Attempt To Raid Siberia (Continued from Page One) hires on the Asiatic continent have suffered in past years, such as the stalemated Chinese war. Against a Japanese move in the north, observers recalled that Russia's Far Eastern de fense forces reputedly are self- sufficient and virtually autonom ous. Japan also is believed to have somewhat reduced her Manchur ian garrisons. Thus some ob servers saw Japan making a continental move on Russia only if Russia should become so weak ened that she would be easy prey. It was not expected here that Japan would abandon her south Asiatic program immediately. Heavy Japanese naval units have been sighted moving south ward off the Chinese coast re cently. Another belief expressed here was that present European de velopments gave Japan a golden opportunity to get out of the China impasse by an attack on Siberia. It was suggested that Japan might never find a better chance of liquidating the Chi nese war on a face saving basis TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY YOUR SUREST GUARANTEE of a good position at good wages is a thorough knowl edge of standard shorthand (preferably Gregg), typing, bookkeeping, business Eng lish, spelling, law, standard office machines.

Nothing when it includes dust storms, rain, black thunder clouds and snow! That was the weather man's menu for Sunday. Strong winds laden with dust blew in from the lower lake area, much to the discouragement of the im maculate housekeeper. Those traveling south reported heavy rains, and motorists who came over the Greensprings Sunday evenmg went through a Jan uary-in-June snow storm. Total precipitation Sunday was .10 inches, bringing the stream year to 13.07 inches. "Generally fair" was the fore cast. Submarine Crew Given Up for Lost; Services Held PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June 23 JP) The navy honored to day as "men still at their sta tion of duty" the 33 members of the sunken and pressure crushed submarine 0-9 after abandoning efforts to recover their bodies or to salvage the craft from murky depths, 440 feet below the surface. The decision to allow the men to lay buried on the ocean floor came only after two cour ageous navy divers descended to the side of the under-water vessel in working dives unpar alleled in history. It was de termined that further efforts would jeopardize divers' lives. Under present circum stances," said Admiral R. Stark, chief of naval operations in Washington, "the decision must be to accept the situation as loss of naval personnel at sea who can best be honored as men still at their station of duty, Not one of them would expect or wish another naval man to risk his life to provide anoth er final resting place." Naval officials said that al though it may never be de termined what caused the 23-year-old, recently rccommis sioned craft to plunge to the ocean bed during a test dive, a naval board of inquiry would hold an investigation either in New London, Conn., or Ports mouth at an unannounced date.
