One officer and eight men would be on full time duty, to Instruct, handle supply and the like. The nary would spend $75,000 overhauling the BOQ. t"-"'"f new wiring, heating and general refur bishing. The nary would use a portion of the 1 building, we understand. Reserrista would receive marine pay for drill once a week which, the hoys point out, would bring a new payroll of from thirty to fifty thousand dollars a year to Klamath. There are about ISO members In the Marine Corps League, and there are between 300 and 400 ex marines In the basin. Jim Roger, the former KUHS footballer, tells us , that high achool boya between 1 and lt an eligible to enlist in the reserre, with parents' con tent, after January first, if that signature Is forth coming.

By GIOKGE E. gOKULaKT (N one ot my transliterations of the wisdom of Oeorgl Oramada,' special Kraal correspondent. I quoted from Maxim Oorkl, tha Russian novelist, aa follows: ". . . What you call tha driliaaUon of the I'B A. does not and cannot excite my sympathies. I think your ornltsation la the moat deformed civilisation on our planet, because lt has magnified to monstrous proportions all tha many and shameful deformities of European civilisation." In tha Russian press, particularly last summer, there waa a rogue ot quotations from Oorkl against the United State. The object waa to show what a horrible country thla la and how low the American people hare aurtk. Maxim Oorkl. who risited this country, la produced aa chief witness because of his tame aa tha foremost proletarian writer of the , caartat era. He waa a loyal follower ot Lenin. In spit ot all the miserable things he wrote about the United States, there Is one tncon trove ryble letter that he addressed to Herbert Hoover, which tells another story, and over which the Russians might wen ponder. Thla letter la dated Berlin. July 30. 1K3: "Prof. Oeron Davis Informs me that you kindly consented to send Individual packagea to scientists and men of letters in Moscow and Petrograd. Need lesa to aay your generous assistance Is worthy of the greatest praise. Nevertheless, permit me to express my feelings of gratitude to all citizens of the United State of America and complete satis faction with tha humanitarian work of the Ameri can relief administration, of which you are chair man. In the past year you hare saved from death three and one-half million children, fire and one-half million adults, fifteen thousand students, and hare now added two hundred or more Russians of the learned professions. I am Informed that this charity cost America 90 million dollars, figure which are sufficiently eloquent. "In all the history of human suffering I know ot nothing more trying to the souls of men than the rrenta through which the Russian people are passing, and m the history of practical humanl tarianlsm I know ot no accomplishment which In terms ot magnitude and generosity can be compared to the relief that you have actually accomplished. J: seems to me very Important that euch great gen erosity developed during these past years of uni versal cruelty cruelty which la ruining Europe, following as lt does the terrible war which shook the foundations of European culture. It is not only the physical help which la raluable but the spiritual succor to the minds of mankind which are tormented by the events of the past years and sick, due to cruelty and hate. "The generosity of the American people resuscitates the dream ot fraternity among peoples at a time when humanity greatly needs charity and com passion. Your help will be Inscribed In history as a unique, gigantic accomplishment worthy ot the greatest glory and will long remain In the memory ot millions of Russian children whom you saved from death. I believe that the recollection of American self-sacrifice In saving children will make these same children better, more generous men and women. Permit me. with all my heart, esteemed Mr. Hoover, to wish you and your assistants continued good health and stout hearts.'' SINCE lm, the United States has aided Soviet Russia In many wars, particularly to the tune of 111.000.000,000 during World War H. but no such gratitude aa Gorki expresses m thla letter appears In tact, all that our aid actual ly accomplished waa to buy us a potential enemy who forces upon us an expenditure of perhaps s high as 120,000,000 000 a year. Instead of devoting our energies to errfllraUon, we are forced to devote them to war. In fact, there seems to be no gratitude any where. We hare aided Great Britain aince 1817 aa no nation haa ever aided another, but there la no gratitude. The British accept the aid aa a right and then spoil all our good Intentions on the continent of Europe by such arrogant stubbornness aa Sir Stafford Cripps evinced In the matter of the Union of Western Europe, or they try to Impose upon us their unsound and obviously selfish policy In China where they would hare us recognize Sonet China to our detriment. -A T BaassssUeaasaasssssssssa m 1 tC 'V: EA"Y TO ROLL Flftern-mentk-old Mike Gallncci.

The newspapermen said they be lieved in carrying th essential facta of such news stories without Including "obnoxious details" or ob scenities. As a good example of the handling ot such touchy news, they dted the AP's recent coverage of a Brem erton.

It should command th respect of every man. woman and child. American or alien. Men hare died for It; women have sacrificed everything dear to them to keep It floating over a free people. I participated in the last Memort al Day parade and I wa surprised to hear the many criticisms and comments concerning the lack of proper respect due our flag aa th parade moved along Main street. It haa always been mandatory that all uniformed personnel render the proper salute, and customary for all other to remove their hat and hold It over th left breast as the, flag passes by.
