off, the correspondent at Petrograd of
the Exchange Telegraph Company says
he is informed.
Reports from Brest Litovsk in the
first few days indicated that deadlock
had been reached on the question of
Ukraine. After the Ukrainian delegation
had almost completed an agreement with
the Germans and Austrians for sep
arate peace, the bolsheviki sent 20 Brest
Litovsk new delegates which they said
we're the real representatives Of Tx.
raine The representatives, Of the cen
trail powers, anxious to make peace with
Ukraine and obtain food supplies there,
refused to recognize the new delegates
who represent the soldiers and work

Ukrainian congress.
This situation was considered Monday
at the crown council in Berlin, after
the German and Austro-Hungarian for

klamath Falls Man
Made Good Record

That Klamath Falls is still on the
map is to be acknowledged when one
reads of the performances of Kieth
Ambrose in the Army-MaTne foot
Lall classic held on New Years day
at Pasadena. The former re chief
of Klamath Falls made the first
score of the game when he booted
the ball over the bar for three points
from the 31-yard line n The first
period. In the fourth quarter he
kicked another pretty goa! from the
G0-yard line, besides ADDING one
point to the Marines score by kick
ing goal after Huntington made
touchdown. The seven points gath
cred by Kieth equalled the total
score of the Camp Lewisite3, the Ma
rines garnering nineteen to their
credit during the game.-Klamath

Kieth Ambrose is brother of Mrs.
c. w. Chattin OF this city and is well
known here, where he has visited
many times.

est school in the world. In the
ranks they all look alike, and their
officers notice only the difference in
efficiency, and that is what places
the men on their metal and prompts
them to put forth their best efforts.
Their instructors being capable men,
they soon come to respect them and
to accept their instructions as proper,
If not really necessary. This is the
reason we hear so little complaining
against officers. And when the boys
come home they will be men of
broader vision, and with different
ideas concerning citizenship and pa
triotism. They will not be long in
taking their places in the legislature
and in congress, and our country will
take a step forward.
Is it worth while to make all
these great sacrifices?' is another
question that is often propounded,
and for while it was often answered
in the negative, but not so now.
Since we are in and the purpose of
the war is clear, we pledge our for
tunes, our sacred honor and our lives
to the maintenance of the principles
of true democracy as against autoc.
racy."

drastic measures are taken to provide
o supply of farm laborers, according
to j T. Hinkle, president of the Ore
gon Irrigation Congress, which met
in Portland the last of the week. AT
the present time considerable work
is being held up because no men are
available in the large farming dis
tricts of eastern and central Oregon.
What measures the farmers will take
to improve the labor situation is q
matter of conjecture, but among the
delegates to the congress there was
considerable discussion of appealing
to the government to regulate the
supply of labor in the production Of
food, as one of the vital forces in
the war.
"The past year has been the most
successful year in irrigation history
in Oregon" said President Hinkle.
In spite of the unsettled financial
situation throughout the country, the
ochoco irrigation project, with
bond issue of 100000, was floated
and carried through successfully, be-
sides other smaller ones. More than
that, provision has already been
made for several new projects which
are ready to be taken up as soon as
the bond issue is certified by the
state board"

Camp Life Agrees

Haven't you noticed how perfect

land the other day. 1t is not un-
usual to hear people say they hardly
knew their own boys when they re-
turned, not because of being the
worst for their experience, but the
better for it. They certainly are
looking fine and wholesome, and
they are better, enot only physically,
but in every way, being mentally
keener and with greatly broadened
visions of life, as well as clearer com
prehension of what it is to be an
American citizen.
"Of course 1t is great sacrifice
they are making, and are offering to
make. even their lives. You hear
persons asking why it is the best and
most promising in the land should be
sent forth to fight when there are
so many that could be spared. To

Butler to Remain

Circuit Judge Calkins handed
down decision Friday morning dis
missing the habeus corpus proceed
ings that we're brought several weeks
ago by William E. Butler through his
attorney, o. C. Boggs, to either gain
his freedom or be admitted to bail.
The Judge held that there were no
Irregularities in Buffers commit
ment, as was claimed, and that he
was properly held in Jail. These pro-
ceedings had been before the court
for several weeks and will result in
Buffers having to remain in the
county Jail to face a charge of mur-
der for the killing of Donald Stew
art of the Brownsboro district, who
was shot October 20. Butler will be
held at least until the grand jury
meets in February.

At the. end of July, 1916, the tanks
and their crews had become so profit
cient that it was possible to hold two
exhibition combats over a prepared
trench system, reproducing line Of
German defenses.
At the end of August 80 TANKS were
loaded at night and sent to France.
When delivered in France the tanks
only travelled at night, and during
the day were covered with huge tar
paulins and strictly guarded.
The first tanks were all painted in
camouflage style for purposes of con-
cealment, and each tank had its own
name, like ship. A whole series of
them were named after various
drinks, such as Cafe-au-Lait, Char
treuse, Chablis, Cognac, Champagne,
reme-de-Menthe. Another series
bore names of Scotch clans-Clan
Cameron, Clan Ruthven, Clan Cor
don, Clan McTavish.
The tanks first went into action in
that portion of the Somme offensive
which began on September 10, The
objective was to drive the Germans
out of some high ground running east
and south of Thiepval. The effect
was as eXhilarating on the British
troops as it was dumfounding to the
Germans. 1t is recorded that many
of the British infantrymen were so
overcome with laughter at their un-
calmly antics that they were scarcely
able to keep up with the procession.

Tanks Result Of
Concerted Ideas

No one man or one department Of
the British government can take
credit for 'inventing" the tanks, ac-
cording to a correspondent of the AS
sociated Press. They came into be-
ing as the result of long period of
study and co-ordinated effort by
many men acting under three separ-
ate departments, the war office, the
admiralty and the ministry of muni-
tions.
In the autumn of 1914 when the
belligerents on the western front had
settled down to trench warfare, it
became obvious that some means of
parrying the danger of well-directed
and well-protected machine-gun fire
from the German trenches must be
discovered if the English infantry
was to carry out assaults with sue
cess.
One of the first proposals put for
ward was for a machine 100 feet
long, 46 feet high and so feet wide,
weighing some 900 tons, propelled
by an S00-hOrsepower engine, and
with driving wheels 40 feet in diane
ter. Another early suggestion, and
the one which led most directly to
the tanks, was made by Colonel Swim
ton in October 1914, to build arm
ored cars on a tractor system, an
American invention. Experiments
with various tractors were made on
behalf of the war office and by a
small expert committee of the ad-
miralty under Winston Churchill,
then first lord. Through the medi-
UNI of the committee of imperial de-
fense, the various efforts for the So
! luton of the problem .were co-ordi-
mated, and certain conditions were
laid down which had to be fulfilled
by the proposed car.
From among the numerous types
of tractors inspected, the most salts
factory was found to be caterpillar
with an endless self-laid track, over
which internal driving wheels could
be propelled by the engines,
In February, 1916, the first tank
was completed and taken down to a
farm near London. Here pits, trench
es and ramparts had been construct
ed The tests we're so satisfactory
that an order was given on the spot
for 100 machines. The ministry OF
munitions became responsible for the
speediest possible construction of the
order. Many improvements were
made during this period of construc-
tion, and the first delivery was made
in July, 1916.
The new machines were of two
slightly different types. One was
called the male type, and was armed
with two Hotchkiss quick-firers and
a subsidiary machine-gun armament
These were designed for dealing at
close quarters with the concrete en-
placements of German machine guns.
The other, or female type, was armed
only with machine guns, and was

CUT WHEAT OUT ENTIRELY.

Somewhere in the U. S. A.-This
community claims to be the first to
have given its pledge to Herbert
Hoover to abstain absolutely from
wheat products until the next harvest
is garnered. The rest of the nation Is
now following suit and every day
brings a grist of similar pledges to
the Federal Food Administrator. The
best hotels and restaurants through
out the country have voluntarily made
promises to keep wheat breads and
wheat pastries off their bills-of-fare.
And though other places may dispute
our title, we claim to. have set in mo-
ton a wheat avalanche which is going
to overwhelm Prussianism.
Wheat Is no more wholesome than
other grains. Even If it were. we
would gladly make the sacrifice nee
essary to supply with wheat our army
and our allies who are too busy to
spend time in further experiments
with substitutes. We have lots of
time and they must have lots of
wheat.

WAR WON'T END FOOD CRISIS.

London.-Notice has been serveL to
the women folk of all Colonial troops
that by remaining in England they
have taken the chance Of not getting
home till eighteen months after the
declaration of peace. 1t will take tina:
long to demobilize the armies now in
France. After that, tens of thousands
of men will be kept busy putting
France, England, and Italy back into
something like normal shape. So for
the next two years, even If speedy
victory is ours, there will be a vast
population dependent for food upon
foreign supplies. Most of this must
come from the United States and Can
ada. So whether the news from tie
front be good or bad this country and
its allies confidently look to the Amer
lean farmer not to slacken produc-
ton one whit but to ward off state
of affairs which could be worse than
