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.

Little Streams
By EARL WHITLOCK
Every stream that flows is
something to be loved. 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

some will comment on The

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

Snow, Rain, Dust
And Wind Visit
Klamath District
What is so rare as a day in
June?
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

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.
