COLLIER LAUDS
DRAFTEE SPIRIT
IN TALK HERE
The excellent attitude of
Klamath's young men toward
the selective service act may be
attributed in part to the com
munity's spirit, Captain Alfred
Collier, secretary of Board No.
1, told the Kiwanis club in a talk
at the club's Thursday noon
luncheon at the Willard.
"Klamath has shown it is be
hind the selective service idea
and has cooperated wholeheart
edly in administration of the
' act, said Captain Collier.
A majority of young men
called by the draft have accept
ed this as a duty of citizenship
and have gone into the service
determined to get something
worth while out of it, the speak'
er stated.
There -have been virtually no
attempts at evasion of the draft
call, said Collier.
He advised the general public
to treat soldiers with the respect
and honor due men who are
making a sacrifice for the de
fense of their country.
"If you treat them like men
of honor, he said, ''they will be
men of honor. If you treat them
like scum, the chances are many
of them will be just that." He
paid tribute to Klamath's attl-
tude toward the men in the de
fense forces.
Captain Collier went into the
history of conscription, noting
that Napoleon set the stage for
the modern draft when he com.
manded that every Frenchman
give five year's of service in the
armed forces. Both north and
south used the draft in the Amer
ican Civil war, and in New York
there were riots that cost the
lives of 1000 men and more than
a million dollars in property
damage.
The World war draft and the
present selective service pro
gram, Collier pointed out, differ
from previous conscription in
that they are administered by
civilians.
The local boards, he declared.
endeavor to treat everybody
alike, without fear or favor. He
paid tribute to local physicians
and to legal advisors for the as
sistance they have given.
Turning to the general aspects
of the present world situation,
oiner saia:
"For me you can'; say .that
Americans won the World war.
I was there and J saw it hap
pen . . . it looks to me as if it is
again coming to the point where
we will have to step in and take
over ... I think Americans like
the home folks and would rath
er fight their battles on some
body else's ground. ... I urge
that Americans forget their dif
ferences, and rise as a united
people to the destiny set for
them." 9 .
Captain Collier, introduced
Presidents C. O.. Dryden and
Fred Heilbronner of the- local
draft boards, and Major Ted
Case, the clerk of the two boards.
Chairman of the day was K. A.
Moore.
It was announced the Kiwan
ians meet next Tuesday with the
Lions club, with Willard Ward
as chairman.

Of PRESENT

(Continued from Pago One)
and in the other well known

ership of Hitler.
"Judging by all recent experi
ence, we could, all of us, look
forward to enthusiastic applause
in those three nations based on
the claim that the United States
is disunited as they have so often
prophesied."
The president took the oppor
tunity of mentioning, too. that
failure of the house to take fa
vorable action on the senate
amendments would also weaken
our domestic situation.
He wrote his house leaders
that such failure would weaken
the nation's efforts to produce
all It could as rapidly as possible
and remarked that strikes and
stoppages of work would be
come less serious in the mind of
the public.
T
Eugene Hugn Smith, the Med-
ford man who was sentenced to
five years in prison in the Marie
Russell death case, will probably
be taken to the penitentiary at
Salem early next week, accord
ing to Sheriff Lloyd Low. Smith
is being held in the county jail.
The 29-year-old prisoner, wno
drove the car from which Miss
Russell fell on October 25, was
subjected to further questioning
Thursday in an effort to trace
Miss Russell's handbag.
When the girl got into Smith s
car on North Ninth street at his
invitation, she carried a handbag
and a parcel containing red suit
soods. She fell from tne car
near Wocus on The Dalles-Cali
fornia highway north.
A state highway employe later
found the parcel of suit goods on
the Algoma fill, farther north
on The Dalles-California high
way. The handbag was not
found.
A Chiloquin man, from whom
Smith attempted to buy gas on
the same, afternoon, tofd inves
tigators he remembers seeing a
small zipper-type bag on the
floor of Smith's car. Whether
the bag was thrown from Smith's
car at the time the parcel went
out. or was taken on north, is
the question which interests of
ficers. The bag conained about
S1.50 in change.
According to a check of Smith's
actions made by Mack Lillard,
investigator for the district at
torney's office, the Medford man
stopped at Klamath Agency,
Chiloquin, Fort Klamath and
Rocky Point resort, after the in
cident at Wocus, Smith attempt
ed to cash a check at a number
of places, ostensibly to buy gas,
and finally at Chiloquin he
"hocked" a rifle from his car in
order to get gas money.
At Fort Klamath, Smith has
been virtually identified as a
man who asked the way to Med
ford by way of the Lake o' the
Woods road, which could take
him back to his home without
returning through Wocus and
Klamath Falls. When it was sug
gested he go by way of Crater
lake, he indicated he did not
want to go back that way.
The fact he was later seen at
Rocky Point indicates Smith may
nave gone home by way of Lake
o' the Woods. When his story
was related in court. Wednesday,
it was not stated by what route
he returned to Medford.

ciety. The Rev. Frank M. Shel-

statement today declaring,
'There Is no foundation what
soever for tho allegation or
rumor that we are preparing

a force of volunteers large
enough to relieve the marines
