Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
STURGIS, Mich. (Travel Correspondence)
This installment of these now rather
lenfthy travel chronicle is written in a news
paper office.

IV who is now
KJ l l his dad in Uie
Paul and his wife, Be, who
are known to many Klamath
people, arc now happily set
tled in his old home town.
They've bought a house, and
EPLEY are waiting to take possession.
Paul turns out a daily column and writes
news for the Journal, and in leisure hour
works hard at golf at the Klinger Lake Country
club. (Note to Hale Scarbrough He recently
shot a 77 and his handicap has been cut to 8.)
Sturgis Is a pleasant town of about 10.000,
with tree-lined residential streets running back
from teeming US 112, a major Detroit-Chicago
road, which is also the main street of the town.
A notable feature of Sturgis is a handsome,
pond-studded city park which once was the
municipal dump. A lot of the work of trans
forming it was done by citizens back in de
pression days, working out their municipal
taxes.
Klinger lake nearby is a clear water lake
surrounded by summer homes. There are a lot
of auch lakes In this area.
WE came on to Sturgis from Wooster, O.,
driving through northern Ohio and a bit
of northeastern Indiana. It is all rich farming
country.
The talk here is that the crops are terrific.
Grain Is now being harvested, and the bundles
In shock in the tree-lined fields give a picture
of sbundance and beauty.
The corn is shooting up. and another soaking
rain or two will assure a big corn crop.
- .
STURGIS' main street Is brick-paved. Brick
paving Is quite common surfacing on mid
western roads and streets. The job on the
main stem here is much superior to most of
the brick paving on which we have driven.
Usually, you rumble along, getting the effect
of driving on dry pavement with chains. The
only reason we have heard for all the brick
paving in the midwest is that there is a lot of
brick manufactured here.
A story is (old about Senator Bilbo of Missis
' sippi and brick paving. It is said that when
he was getting his start In politics down there,
he bid for public office on paving promises.
He told the voters that if elected he would put
In a lot of brick paving.
"We'll build the roads of brick." he Is quoted,
"we'll build 'era straight and build 'em long.
We'll drive on 'em for 20 years; then we'll
turn 'em over and drive .on the other side
for 20 years." '
He was elected.

ton Stuart, was presenting his credentials to
the generalissimo at China' summer capital,
Kuling.
General George C. Marshall's attempts to
reconcile the warring factions will continue
but he will have performed a feat extraordin
ary if he succeeds, for he is dealing with two
political isms which thus far have been irrecon
cilable. Moreover he is faced with many other
difficulties, among which are the general back
wardness and economic straits of this vast coun
try of 500 millions.
General Ho Ying-chin, the generalissimo's top
military expert who is now in the United States,
defends his country's slowness in becoming pro
gressive by citing that it was only as far
back as 1910 that "China threw off the yoke
of 5000 years of Manchu despotism." That's a
true bill, and one we shouldn't overlook in
assaying the present situation.
A Witch's Brew
THIS huge country which, In many remote
areas is truly primitive, is a melting-pot
for a witch's brew of troubles. For one thing
China is a land of vast riches and terrible
poverty and that in itself is a mighty chasm
to bridge. As the result of the protracted war
against the invading Japanese the economic
position is terribly bad. Inflation has been
running riot for years until one wonders how
even the rich can find the cash to maintain
themselves. The prices of bare necessities are
fantastic.
The question of whether Chinese commu
nism is affiliated with Moscow will have a con
siderable effect on the trend of the struggle,
as I see it. It's a remarkable thing that this
point thus far hasn't had any formal official
clarification. When General Ho Ying-chin was
asked if there was any connection between the
two he shot back tartly: "Better ask the Chi
nese communists that."
Well, I've done exactly that in China and
have made the inquiry from no less personage,
than General Chou En-lai, second in leadership
of the Chinese reds. He told me that the
Chinese reds weren't hooked to Moscow. Still
you will find many competent observers who
believe (but can't prove) that the Chinese com
munists get inspiration and material aid from
Russia.
The point is, of course, that if the Chinese
communists are indeed "on their own," the
prospect of shortening the civil war might be
somewhat brighter.
Front And Center
By CARTER BURNS
LT. GEN. ROBERT L. EICHELBERGERS
public condemnation of "drunken bullies"
among his forces in Japan brings to a climax
a long series of unsavory acts charged against
our' occupation troops in both war theatres.
This misconduct has been variously blamed
on lack of training and immaturity of the
men in the ranks.
To find the underlying cause, one must probe
deeper. If. immature troops misbehave, they
are improperly trained. If troops are im
properly trained, they are poorly led. Thus
the entire situation devolves upon the question
of leadership the most important single factor
in the successful functioning of any armed
force.
Unfortunately, as the army on one hand
decries the results of this lack of leadership.
hand it seeks to excuse rather
that weakness, as it announces
effect recommendations of the
Doolittle "GI Gripe Board," thus further low
ering the prestige of its leaders.
No officer worthy of his position has ever
been begrudged the perquisites of his rank by
sane-minded subordinates, who come to realize
that only through application of discipline can
a military force be( prevented from acting like
a mob. But the officer must himself exhibit
the qualities of leadership which instill respect
and obedience in his men.
Well-led troops are inherently well-trained
troops and well-trained troops soon develop
that intangible morale which inspires pride in
themselves and their organization. They will
not bring discredit on their standards by acting
like "drunken bullies."

BOYLE'S
NOTEBOOK
Br JOHN RODERICK
(For HAL BOYLE)
CHANGCHUNG. July 20 t)
Veks after its return to Chi
nese nationalist sovereignity this
Manchurian capital remains a
city of military tenseness and
oarLod wired entaniilemcnts.
Still, in view of the multi
plicity of armies Japanese,
Hussian, Chinese communist and
nationalist which have stream
ed through her modern, well
paved streets in recent months,
the fact that it has returned
to anything resembling normal
is astonishing.
From the air, Changchun's
broad avenues, modern build
ings and wealth of parks serve
notice that this is no ordinary
Chinese city but a recent-day
creation of the Japanese during
14 years of occupation. From
the sir, too, can be seen the
effects of war row upon row
of former Japanese factories,
now roofless shells of brick
stripped even of floors and win
dow sills.
Around the fringes of a large
well-equipped airport, hulks of
Russian Storovlks and a Japan
ese planes are mute monuments
to Changchung's recent tenants.
Americans Pass
No one may enter or leave
Changchung through the barbed
wire which bars the main high
ways without producing a pass.
Vehicles bearing the American
flag are an exception.
Inside the city, life appears
to be approximately normal.
Street cars are running, power
and water systems are function
ing, and freedom ol movement
is generally unrestricted except
for miles of barbed wire which
fence off many streets and army
barracks. But parks are mostly
overgrown with weeds and tail
grass, roads are slowly falling
into disrepair, and many beauti
ful homes are abandoned or suf
fering from lack of attention.
The capital of Japan's Man
chukuo the beginning of the
greater east Asia co-prosperity
empire is badly In need of a
general house cleaning. Many
large, modern buildings, includ
ing the once impressive capital,
have been gutted by fire or
stripped and looted by succeed
ing armies.
The city population still in
cludes some 230,000 Jananese
technicians. That China will
need many of these in rehabili
tation and eventually in new in
dustries developed goes with
out saying. China at this mo
ment is unable to fill the bill.
For the most part Japanese
now are doing menial jobs help
ing to clear away debris, work
ing in hotels or driving hun

more than 40 miles away their

WHY THE ALIBI?
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. fl'o
the Edilor) Why the alibi? Or
Is all this rubuih for the pur
pose of kclvfi'tlsing a show for
August?
During recent months The
Herald News has afforded spue
fur certain persons tu nie
their opinions relative to their
desire to change the name of
one of the old Immigrant routls
of soutliern Oregon, the one
branching oTf from the older
one lending Into California from
tho southern end uf Ktiguo Riv
er valloy. This Junrtlun Just un
der the old landiiiiirk "Pilot
Rock," this roud or trail I refer
to, Inadi easterly across the Cus
eudes and southeasterly across
California Into Nevatta, to (he
big bend of the Humboldt river.
This roud located In 1846 has
bcou known universally as the
Applrgatc trail, the Applegate
culofl or Appli-'giilo's route. It
is caseiitiully an Applegate en
terprise. The Applegate broth
ers, Jesse and Lindsay, Instigat
ed I ho Idea, organized the
party, led tho exielitloii and
paid the cost of aume from their
personal funds lo the tune of
several thtitisnnds of dollars.
Their leadership was a natural,
They were experienced survey
ors, possessed the required
equipment and were the literate
members of tho expedition
puny. This has been the known
and accepted truth of this mat
ter for the past too years.
Fly In Ointment
So It is obvious that for some
reason, beat known In the name-
changing parties, the name Ap-
pieguie is me ny in tile oint
ment. Why? I a m told they ad
mit that they are historians, as
they riso from the tall grass
Ihnl hus flourished for a cen
tury, and demand that page
of history, depicting a truth be
torn from the record and a fic
tion be Inserted In its place.
Citing a quotation credited to
NupoTami "that history Is a he
that has been agreed upon," the
alibi that the old provisional
government said something
about repairs for a southern
road. Is rather weak.
It was quite natural that the
provisional government, of
whom Jesse Applegnte was a
prominent member, located at
Champorg In the northern part
of the Oregon country, would
refer to anything located In the
southern purl of the country as
of the south or southern area.
Again, the nume south or
southern is vitguo and confusing
for there are, and were then,
other southern roads: the Cali
fornia, the Crescent City and
later the Dead Indian. All these
roads or trails wera used by
Immigrants. All stem from the
Mine region so why not i dis
tinctive name, the one known,
that It has had for the past 100
years.
Cardinal Goodwin, Th D., pro
fessor of American history of
Mills college, has used the ac
cepted map as of 1833, deplet
ing "overland routes to the Pa
cific," which has this road
plainly murked "Applegate
route."
The old fellows who blazed
this route and paid the cost are
all dead and cannot answer any
rumbles from the tall grass.
Sort of reminds you of tho old
fable of the "ass and the dead
lion."
