rific at the start, but the ob
jective was reached with sur
prising speed.
In these war loan drives,
all types of government bond
purchases count. It is ex
tremely important that buying
of the smaller "E" type bonds
be pushed to the highest pos
sible volume, but the quota
will include F and G bonds,
etc., which run into larger

denominations.
This effort must bring all idle reserves out
of the brush. The boards of the various school
districts, cities, and other municipal corpora
tions, are asked now to canvass their financial
situation with a view to making the largest
possible government bond purchases.
Likewise, the business organizations of the
community, large and small, are asked at this
time to make their plans for bond and cer
tificate purchasing. It is especially important
that those, who must' get authorization from
elsewhere for allotments of bond buying to
Klamath county, take the necessary steps to
start that machinery rolling.
These heavier purchases, along with accel
erated E bond buying, will put Klamath county
over on this big quota. m
As for the E bonds, all earning individuals
, are asked to invest in bonds amounting to $150.
Klamath should first make its August quota,
and then swing into the biggest E bond busi
ness of the war in September. Every bond,
of course, is an investment, rather than an
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 My columnar
suggestion that our peace program should
be worked out on a basis of democratic and
Christian principles struck a
popular responsive chord, but
enough scattered criticism and
misunderstanding has develop
ed to require further clarifi
cation to round the subject
out.
A Jewish woman In San
Diego, for instance, suggests
that Christianity is exclusive
and incompatible with democ
racy, which promises freedom
of religion.
MALLON
The true inspiration of Christianity, of course,
is tolerance and justice for all, which likewise
is the basic principle of democracy. The roots
of the Christian: theory of life run back to the
Mosaic law of the Ten Commandments.
Both have .inspired the laws and customs of
tor land.' There is not the slightest incon
titency between them. :
Many clergymen of all faiths report having
read my column from their pulpits, but two
have protested my simplification of Christian
principles to the theme of common justice, good
seighborliness, kindliness and fairness. They
rightly say Christian religions are much more
than this, and that even the heathens could
get in under my tent. Indeed, they could.
We are dealing in the post war discussions, '
not with matters of religion, but with politics,
statesmanship and formulas for natural living.
Theologians must interpret Christianity as a
religion in their respective ways, but statesmen
must follow the inherent theme of Christian
theory.
My suggestion is that statesmen and politi
cians be pressed to follow the simple funda
mental principles of Christianity as they have
in making their laws. The moral conceptions
of honesty, good and evil, preached by Con
fucious ("Man is inherently good") is close
enough to fundamental Christian principles to
indulge that kind of a post war democratic
world. t . , . .?
Our Christian way of life is not sufficiently
approved in this world to warrant us making it
exclusive. The conflicting theories into which
we will run in the post war settlement are
those of atheism, agnosticism and man-made
religions of the state. (Nazism, fascism, commun
ism). These teach, for instance, that even murder

Proper Use of Digitalis
Great Aid to Heart Disease
Sy DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
Many men past middle-age
have, because of the war, vol
unteered to participate in ac
tivities which dangerously bur
den the heart muscles. In re
sult, heart disease may be pre
cipitated. Many of these people
will have prescribed for them
digitalis, which is a drug whose
use the patient must understand
in order that its optimum bene
fits may be exercised.

the leaves of the Foxglove.
The aetion of digitalis has
been the subject of intensive
study, and is now known to be
that of increasing the ability of
the heart muscle to attract wat
er and swell, thereby making it
contract more strongly and re
lax more easily.
DANGEROUS DRUG
That a drug having 'so dis

should possess an element of
danger is not surprising. After

ficial financial backlog for the community and
its people.
They're Dependable
AN interesting angle on the Third War Loan
is the fact that the local Elks lodge, in
accepting leadership of the campaign, called
up its first exalted ruler to head the drive.
That, it seems to us, is a real tribute to the
staying qualities of E. B. Hall, for it was 30
years ago he headed the local fraternal or
ganization. He was active in the Liberty bond
drives of the first world war. Now another
world war has come along, another important
patriotic endeavor needs his services, and he
has taken over.
That sort of thing takes sacrifice of time
and money. It takes worry and work. The
. only compensation is the satisfaction that comes
out of successful accomplishment. We happen
to know Mr. Hall wouldn't attempt it if he
didn't know and count on the people of Klam
ath county. They're dependable.

Opposite Doctrine
THE opposite doctrine which we have fol
lowed is that of the sixth commandment,
the only condoned exception being wars of
self-defense. "Thou shalt not kill," has not
been amended for us to add "except in poli
tics." ' Several other readers on the opposite side
believed I wanted the churches to make the
peace. They question the ability of the churches
to do so, on the basis of their past records.
This was a strenuous over-interpretation of
the column. It would be enough for me if the
church leaders of the country would exert
pressure upon the statesmen for the mainten
ance of simple Christian and democratic prin
ciples in their settlement.
The elected representatives of the people are
charged with the duty of making the peace,
not the clergy.: Churchmen are unfitted for
the task by any measuring gauge of practical

Two readers also objected to my statement
.that no one that I knew of had lived Christ
ianity fully, claiming many holy men and
women had done so. I am not a competent
judge on this subject, but I am sure all the
saints would be the first to protest that they
had equalled Christ and were without original
or ensuing sins of thought, word or deed.
To me, Christ was the only divine human,
and I like to think they looked at it that way
also.
, These criticisms and misinterpretations only
serve to emphasize the necessity that the peace
be based upon both Christian and democratic
principles.

Russian Committee
ALREADY the Russians are sponsoring a com-
roittee for the restoration of "democracy"
in Germany. The refugees on this committee
in Russia, says Pravda truthfully, are socialists
and communists. The kind of "democracy" and
."freedom" they would restore to Germany is
not our kind.
If- we demand only democracy there and
elsewhere over the post-war earth, without
Christianity, we will get something foreign to
our inclinations and beliefs.
Words have been corrupted by artful poll
ticians to the point where they have lost their
genuine meaning. The difference between us
and Russia lies not in the word "democracy"
or "anti-fascist," but in Christianity. That dif
ference must be preserved.

When properly used in the
treatment of certain types of
heart disease, such as conges

certain other conditions, digi
talis is the source of great com

life-saving. In the treatment of
cardiac disease for which it has
been proven not the correct
remedy, the results are, of
course, disappointing.
When properly administered,
even in the conditions for
which it is most effective, the
results are bad. Overdosage
causes digitalis poisoning,
which is manifested by loss of
appetite, headache, vertigo, and
then by nausea and vomiting.
More serious consequences may
then follow its continuance. Un-

The War
Today
By DeWITT MicKENZIE
One of the most interesting
pieces of news to come out o(
Germany since the war began
and it's one of the most im
portant, if true Is the report
that the whole nazi government
has abandoned Berlin.
While this is unconfirmed, it
does come on the heels of the
evacuation of a million resi
dents of the threatened capital.
Maybe Hitler's infallible intui
tion has enabled him to read
the allied program which has
been set forth at Quebec by
British Minister of Information
Brenden Bracken thus pointed
ly: "These plans are to bomb and
burn and ruthlessly destroy, in
every way available to us, the
people responsible for creating
this war."
Wishful Thinking
One could wish, by the way,
that the fuehrer might have
heard Bracken deliver that
edict. I wasn't present, but 1
know the minister as one of
England's most colorful person
alities. He's a big chap who
pours out conviction in a tor
rent of forceful words, while
his victim is held fascinated by
the brilliant red hair which
flares up from Bracken's head
like the flames from a blast
furnace. Yes, it's a pity Hitler
wasn't there.
For any normal government
which of course the nazi re
gime is not desertion of the
national capital is like abandon
ment of ship at sea. It's an act
that denotes desperation.
Thus the head of a govern
ment and his chief ministers
cling to their capital as a sea
captain sticks to his bridge.
They're among the last to leave.
When they do go, it means they
have small hope that the first
city of the nation will survive.
SUck With Ship
During the height of the ter
rible aerial blitz which London
endured in 1940-41, when the
British ship of state was wal
lowing in mountainous seas, the
square-jawed Churchill and his
cabinet stuck to the bridge.
True, some archives and subor
dinate offices were moved out
of London, but for the prime
minister and his government to
derdosage fails to accomplish
anything at all.
CLOSE SUPERVISION
NEEDED
Digitalis has a cumulative ac
tion, and if taken in faster than
it is destroyed, toxic symptoms
will develop. If the drug is dis
continued, the toxic symptoms
subside, and it may be safely
resumed later in smaller dosage
or with longer intervals be
tween doses.
The use of digitalis should be
augmented by some instruction,
so that the informed patient can
assist in the regulation of his
dose. Digitalis should never be
started, discontinued, or inter
rupted, except on the advice of
a physician. Usually, if real in
dications existed for using digi
talis in the first place, its need
will continue for a long time.

flee the capital would have been
regarded as an admission of de
feat, both at homo and abroad.
Back in 1041 when Hitler's
i victorious armies were surging
j townrds Moscow, the soviet au
; thorities moved the diplomatic
corps to Kuibyshev. But Stalin
and the other members of tho
red government coolly carried
on at tho old stand, as an in
spiration and a guarantee of
security to the peoples of all
the Russians.
Not Cowardice
Now nobody suggests for a
moment that if Hitler and his
government have moved, or do
move, it's because of cowardice.
The Germans are brave enough.
Abandonment of the German
capital would mean (1) that Ber
lin is In peril of destruction,
and (2) that the Prussian mili
tarists are exhibiting one of
their outstanding characteristics
a disinclination to risk their
necks unless it's absolutely nec
essary. We have an illustration of
this characteristic in the Prus
sian military policy that Ger
man officers shall not lead their
men into battle, excepting in
case of necessity. That tough
task is left to the non-commissioned
officers. The reason giv
en for this is that officers are
difficult to replace, and so
should direct operations from
behind the lines where they
won't get killed.

Losing streaks causa excite

But the Philadelphia Athletics
now have lost 13 consecutive
games and 19 of their Inst 22 and
all the attention they are getting
Is a broad yawn.
Mostly the calm roactlon to
consistent losing by the A's is in
deference to Connie Mack, the
grand old man of baseball. Every
other major longue team Is con
sidered the community properly
of tho fans. The owners of other
clubs are simply trustees, who
soon hear about It If they don't
administer the trust to the satis
faction of all.
The A's are the exception.
They belong to Mr. Mack and
whether they finish first or last,
nobody Is going to squawk. Tho
Important thing to the fans Is
that the -80-yeor-old patriarch
continue waggling that famous
scorecard.
The A's latest loss was another
shutout 4-0 on four-hit pitching
by Dennis Galchouse of the St.
Louis Browns Inst night.
At the top of the American
league t;,e New York Yankees
squeezed back Into the victory
column with a 2-1 thlrteen-lnnlng
decision over the Cleveland In
dians. ,
Rookie Allio Reynolds, a tough
cutomer for tho Yankees, held
them to six hits In going the
route, but was beaten when Joe
Gordon doublod and eventually
scored on a fly.
The defeat dropped Cleveland
bnck Into a tie for third plnce as
Washington whipped the Chica
go White Sox 4-3. Dutch Leonard
pitched four-hit ball and singled
home the deciding run himself.
Detroit divided a doublehead
er with the Boston Red Sox, los
ing the first 4-3 through Joe Cro
nin's two-run pinch double and
winning the second 10-0 on Vir
gil Truck's four hit hurling and
the hitting of Rudy York, who
collected his 24th homer and al
together batted in six runs.
In the National league the St.
Louis Cardinals were upset by
the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5 In
a night game with the help of
four unearned runs In the sixth
inning.
Two home runs by Jim Russell
and one by Vlnce DIMogRlo, his
14th. accounted for seven runs
as the Pittsburgh Pirates plas
tered the New York Giants 8-1.
Curt Davis held the Chleogo

after Bill Nicholson hit a two
