We said that this was pos sibly . the first use of that route by white men. We had hunch when we wrote those entenccs that someone would come forward with thp infor mation that the route was used prior to 1866, and sure enough," that's what happened. n ,.' Interested in local history, and think that s wholesome and worthy interest lor Kta people, we are glad to have things like that - r- ll.nl!nn Vine hpen Called DV MrS. Suena Stone, local historian, and Bob Sawyer, allies In replying to Tokyo. Had the Japanese .nd Bulletin publisher and historian,, ta the government offered unqualified acceptance of 7..t ,.t ti h S Williamson and Henry L. the Potsdam terms, the peace bells could have Ahhnt evidently went through the Old Fort started ringing within the hour, . a rvrt lPCTBtP incl "nils K But Ida Momyer Odell, who used to travel tho Old Fort road, say that In old day the lake did approaort tlio ridge at the east side of the present Algoma gap, and wagons passed through a narrow strip between water and the precipitous ridge." Springs gushed from the hills, and sometimes the wagons had to cross on the backs of suckers which crowded up the Uttlo streams. So it seems that Abbot and Williamson, back in 1855, did go through the Old Tort road route, which is now straddled by the Marine Barracks. This was the main road between Klamath Tails and the north for five or six decades, until the highway around tho lake was built. - -' The War Today By DeWITT MaeKENEIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst ALLIED acceptance or rejection of the Jap anese offer of surrender hinges on the Question of whether we shall accept the enemy it.. tss ;eiMft wi reservation mai ma kiiv, retain nis sovereigns. This reservation or tho making of any other condition is of course a deviation from. "unconditional" surrender. So i1 far as concerns the mikado, the allies never have said that they would depose the em peror, and they never have said they wouldn't. His status Is one of the important mat ters which had been left open MacKhwtt, for decision after surrender, and so acceptance of the Japanese condition would place us in position of deciding the matter -forthwith. . . . . . ,. , .i i. . . . i.

They left Japs Licked AS it is, the allied answer won't be long deferred. And whether it accepts or re fuses to consider, any condition whatsoever, U b..h that (ha war is in its ripnth nam, north bv way Of U16 I'll ., . t iistn,-icte hm.o tnuori tho river to Wright (Clear) lake and Rheu iruiej rf tato ri and that means they are lake and the natural bridge on Lost river. They went up the Klamatn vauey w end of Upper Klamath lake, and here is the story of their journey north from there, as told in their official report: August 18. (1855) Th. ridges on tha eastern aid of the lake, which were composed ol resicular tr, appeared to run parallel to each other, in a northeast and southeast direc tion, and to terminate abruptly at the water's edge. A well-marked Indian trail followed along the shore; but members of tha party who explored it reported It yery rocky, and ira pasMbJe for "the little cart" as th odometer wheel till continued to b termed. LiuU ' Williamson had observed several Indian trails diverging to the right on Mi last day's march. and be therefore determined to follow a south ast course, hoping to discover som good pas by which h could cross th ridg. and thus avoid th rocks and bends of th shor. W thus reached a narrow yalley, lying btwn two steep ranges of hills, and filled with open ' pine timber. Ther was a large Indian trail In it. which conducted us to the lak. K prdpltou and toeky ildg rot abruptly from th wat, laying barely sufficient room to pass along th bank. After traveling a short distance, w reached . a point where several springs gushed from the hillside, and dis appeared among, th thick bushs, surrounded fcr luxuriant grass.- Th water wu clear and pur, and Lieut. Williamson at one encamped. Now, we have not read Mr. Sawyer's editorial, which he has promised to send us, but Mrs. Stone and he are agreed that Abbot and Wil liamson went through the Old Fort road route. Certainly, the -springs mentioned are Barclay Springs. We were somewhat concerned about the men ' tion of a "precipitous and rocky ridge" rising from the water, which had to be skirted before reaching Barclay springs. You don't have to follow any such narrow ledge between ridge and water now, and we thought for a time Abbot and Williamson may have gone north by the present road through Collman ranch to Shady Pine, which virtually parallels the Old Fort road. In that case, they would have skirted Algoma point, to reach Barclay springs. licked, reservations or no reservations. Perhaps they would continue to struggle if they were told now that they must give up their emperor. Indeed, there seems to be an intima tion of that in the declaration of the Japanese newspaper Asahl Shimbun that "The elder statesmen should first of all exert their utmost efforts, even at the cost of their lives, for the welfare and preservation of the polity of our country." If Asahi uses "polity" in the sense that we do, it refers to the permanent form of the Japanese government and religion. The emperor is head of both state and church. Press Warnings HOWEVER, the Japanese press today is sob erly, warning the public of "the extreme gravity of the current war situation" and is urging the people to maintain "calmness in any contingency." I think we may assume this means that the public which likely hasn't been told of Tokyo's offer to surrender is now being prepared for news of capitulation. One suspects that Tokyo would bow forth with to an allied reply that surrender must be made without any reservation regarding the emperor, but that hia status would be con sidered later. However, even if our answer ' should be unfavorable to the mikado and the Japanese should try to continue the struggle, it is clear that the backbone of their resistance is broken and the war couldn't last long. Emperor Problem THIS problem of the emperor is no light one. His people have for some twenty centuries regarded him as their living God. He is the principal deity of their national faith. There are two schools of thought among allied statesmen. One says "hang the mikado" and the other feels that it would be unwise to take such action against the head of national religion. Certainly the situation ' presents a question which nobody thus far has been able to answer satisfactorily, and that is what the effect of thus dealing with the emperor would have (1) on the' Japanese nation and (Z) on other Oriental peoples. It isn't a matter to be decided in haste. SIDE GLANCES Tr . ' . .- . ..... ,V' w,tw.wwiwnci,g,T.it,n,,rT,TO,. uT.et. mm tin vnn off.
