. at-home Americans are SHUT
OUT from the drama of the war
. and so made to feel vaguely .but
effectively that fighting the war
is the job of the INSIDERS and
. not . the. job- of ALL the Amer
ican people they tend to become
less jeady and willing to sacri
fice and more inclined to gnu
ble and criticise and permit
SELF INTEREST, to encroach
upon patriotism.
, After all, human nature is hu
man nature, and the American
people are-endowed with their
full share of it.
THIS writer, although he has
' tried to, can't get away from
the feeling that the job of telling
the story of this war to the
' American people is being TER
RIBLY bungled.
: There is COMPLACENCY, of
' a sort, here at home.
There is failure to realize how
deadly serious it all is.
.. There is pulling and hauling
and advancement of selfish in
terests.
- All this hampers the war ef
fort. . : ' . - - '' '
TF the flesh-and-blood story1 of
the war could be told to all of
us simply, truthfully, dramati
cally so as to bring it home to
us in all its tremendous implica
tions most if not all of these
obstacles at home would vanish
would be burned away in a
. flame: of patriotic desire to sac
rifice to whatever extent may
be necessary.
!-. It ought to be possible to tell
this great story to the people at
home without giving military
information to the enemy. '

to be tried.

Frances Riley, pioneer resident
of Klamath Falls, will be held
at Sacred Heart Catholic church
on Monday. A requiem high
mass will be celebrated, com
mencing at 9 a. m. Commit
ment services will follow in the
family plot in Mt. Calvary me
morial park.
A long-time friend has writ
ten the following tribute to
Mrs. Riley:
"The many friends of the late
Mrs. Nellie F. Riley were sad
dened recently to learn of her
sudden passing at her new home
on the Rogue river, near Grants
Pass, Oregon.
"She came to Klamath Falls,
with her husband, Charles E.
Riley, in the year 1910, and
during her residence in Klam
ath Falls- made many sincere
friends. She was endowed with
that quality of humanity that
enabled her to hold her friends,
even to the last expiring hour
of her life.
"No one knows what element
in the little acorn develops the
great and sturdy oak tree, and
likewise no one knows what
element of personality evokes a
lasting friendship.
"But, as Mrs. Riley grew In
years, she learned to realize
that the one thing in' life, most
to be cherished, is friendship,
and she enjoyed a wide circle
of friends.
"When residing in this com
munity she could be often seen
Golf & Country club, with her
friends. She was a devoted
wife and mother and possessor
of high ideals. She quickly and
eagerly responded to all charit
able and religious affairs. She
lived a triumphant life, in that
she did evil to, and spoke evil
of, no one. She was a sincere
and devout member of the
Christian faith, . and diligently
followed the course Gocl had
set her to go. And now she is
in her eternal home, where the
problem of the peace that
passeth all human understand
ing, is solved.
"Our heartfelt sympathy is
extended to her husband, Char
les Riley, and her son, Charles
Ferguson Riley of Sheppard
field, Tex.
"A fond farewell,' until that
tomorrow when at a brighter
dawn, we shall meet again."
Mrs. Riley was a native of
Cambridge, Mass. She was a
charter member of the local
court, Klamath No. 1295, Cath
olic Daughters of America. '
Besides her husband, Charles
E., of Grants Pass, she is sur
vived by one soniiCharles Ferg
uson Riley of Sheppard Field,
Tex.; one brother, Lt. Patrick
R. Doyle of Jacksonville, Fla.;
three sisters, Josephine Mahoney
and Julia Flynn of Cambridge,
Mass., and Mary McCann of
Santa Monica, Calif. " The re

thnt a holding force of about 200

"Known enemy lasses Inflict

Losses were suffered by the

"Ships of our expedition gun

munique said. 'Considering tho
nature of this operation our
forces suffered only moderate

The surpriso raid indicated

Russell Bros.' Circus
Plays to a Crowded House
Before a crowded house of
kids and grown-ups, too, the
Russell Brothers circus came to
town and went to town last
night with the first of three
weekend performances which
should go a long way toward
making Klamath Falls forget a
recent succession of shows
which have been regrettably
more mediocre than meteoric.
From the grand inaugural
procession to the final exhibi
tion of the Seven Skyrocketing
Escalantes, ; it was a sparkling
display of customary but none
theless fresh acts and routines
from which we challenge you
to pick the most outstanding.
