Ithe const 1 uc tion of approximately 96
miles or road, from tmk Knlge 111 Ino
county Oregon, to Kirk, Klamath coun
ty. This would shorten the route by
rail to San Francisco and put Klnmnth
Falls on the main line ruilrond. The
mntter will be presented to T. P. Powell,
director of the division of capital ex
pendiU'.res, who has power under cer
tain conditions to act aside money to
build extensions from the fund which
congress is ?xpocted to provide for that
purpase very soon after it meets in the
extra session.
The last congress was asked to sp
propria' 750,000 000 for improve
ments and extensions, but the measure
was killed in the Inst niinute senate fili
buster. It has been the position of the
railroad administration that under ex
traordinary circumstances capital should
be supplied for needed extensions where,
the railroad systems affected will ap
prove the proposed new construction.
It is believed that if the communities
concerted will organize and secure
through their commercial orgnniation
tho approval of this line, the money
will be forthcoming.

Try For Diplomatic
Victory In Spite Of
Big Military Defe a t
Radical Leaders Declare That Scare Of Bolshevism In
Germany Is Trick Of Foreign Minister And Count
Bernstorff. Threat That Germans May Refuse To
Sign Peace Treaty Is Merely Effort To Split Allied
Nations, They Say.
By Frank 3. Taylor
(United Prcs staff correspondent)
Berlin, Mar. 2S. Radical leaders
declared today that the bugaboo of
bolshevism in Germany is a trick by
which Foreign Minister Brockdertf
liantzau and 'Count Bernstorff hope to
secure t diplomatic victory, in spite
of military defeat.
According to tho radicals, the threat
to refuse the peace terms and throw
Germany into bolshevism which ia be
ing talked broadcast -in Berlin, espe
cially within hearing of members of
the allied mission is nn effort to im
press the peace conference with ve
seriousness of the situation here, It is
charged that the German foreign of
fiee hopes this may lead to a split be
tween the allied nations regarding the
procedure if the Germans refuse to
sign the pact. Pertain entente na
tions, it is claimed, will oppose contin
uing the blockade of Germany, fear
ing the spread of bolshevism, while
other probably will insist on enforc
ing conditions demanded of the Ger
ninus. Want Commission Changed
The most sincere oponenls of bol
shevism as well as the independent so
cialists demand that a group of real
pacifists be scut to Paris in place of
