Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
A COUPLE of weeks ago we carried a story
about a Link river Indian named Moses
nrfin Lindsay ADDleaate and party over the
present-day Marine
road on their way to set up
Klamath Agency in 1866.
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.

local history, and think that s
wholesome and worthy interest lor Kta
people, we are glad to have things like that

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.

AS it is, the allied answer won't be long
deferred. And whether it accepts or re
fuses to consider, any condition whatsoever,

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.
