qrlrements Of the men alone. This
Is proving to be one of the finest
things ever introduced and is one of
the many developed since the war
on that is highly praised by army OF
iicials, railroad attaches and all COM
ing into contact with 1t.
Recently a train of sixteen cars
the longest troop train ever pulled
into Camp Lewis-was sent out from
here with SIC selectives aboard. Two
army "Y" men and one man repre-
senting the association, all of whom
were from Portland, and few other
Oregon points. Several other small
or contingents went from here the
day before and the day after, all with
Portlany "Y" men accompanying.
"Y" secretaries on these trains do
several things which have been found
TO be very beneficial to the men and
which have proven of much help to
the army officers who come into con-
tact with them later, upon their ar
rival in camp,
In the first place the "Y" man
using trumpet makes speech Of
about ten minutes to the men in
each car. In this he explains to
them what they are to expect upon
reaching camp; what they will un-
dergo the first thing after leaving
the train; how inspection is made.
how they are assigned to quarters
onG to companies; the quarantine
provisions, etc, thus putting them in
readiness to meet these various things
as they reach them without fear or
surprise and with the least possible
nerve racking,
Meanwhile the speakers assistant
Is busy passing postcards to each
man, so that he may he put in an
attitude at once of writing home.
This habit, formed quickly and at the
outset of the long journey to Berlin,
becomes firmly fixed in a large num-
her of cases and becomes part of the
mans life while he is absent from his
loved ones. Still later, an envelop
and sheets of note paper are passed
around, thus affordlng every man
on board chance to write more at
length. Large numbers of them do

In High School

1t has been decided that regular
3rmy military drill will be establish
ed at klamath county high school

and equipment has been made to
Washington, D. c., and If this is ap-
proved the board wants to secure
IS rifles. 1t is expected that at least

tor in the manual training depart

LOAN FUND FOR BOYS
IN FRANCE PLANNED

Lane county women will establish
a revolving loan fund for men from
Lane county who are serving with the
65th artillery in France, says the
Eugene Guard. The decision Is
the result of the arrival of a letter
from Chaplain Albert X. Matthews
telling that his chaplain's fund is in
sufficient to meet the demands made
upon it for loans.
The Lane county auxiliary Of the
Goth artillery will arrange for the
loan fund and 5000 which was origi,
nally collected for the mess funds OF
CT the old Second and Third compan-
les of the Oregon Coast Artillery viii
be Immediately available.
Captain Matthews in his letter
states:
- have found that my chaplain 2
fund, even augmented as It was by
gifts from all over Oregon at the time
OF our leaving, is insufficient to meet
TIE demands made upon II for loans.
Pay days here are apt to be few and
far between and the men run short
of money. | have thus devoted near
ly the whole of my chaplalnjs fund
to the purpose of a revolving fund.
aportion the money at the first OF
tho month according to the men pres
eDt with a battery and loan each man
his share, if he wishes ii, he giving a
receipt which carries with 1t a prom
ise to refund at his next pay day.
Thus ] am able to tide the men over
the shoals that come when pay days
are infrequent.
In view of this, which is the most
real need / have found among the
men, | would suggest for your con-
sideration, the devotion OF your et-
forts for the formation of loan fund
for Lane county men. If such was
placed in my hands could add II to
the share already coming to those
men from my regular chaplain'a
fund"
Chaplain Matthews in his letter
expresses delight over the formation
Of an auxiliary to the 65th in Lane
county. He states that under pres
ent conditions that 1t will be impos-
sible to send things direct to the men
but that they have no crying needs
which can not be supplied by purch-
ases which can be made at a govern
,nent commissary or Y. NJ. c. A. can.

of the hardest struggle of the war,
they will be victorious.
The emperor continued:
American armies numerical su-
Fcrior do net frighten us. 1t is spirit
which brings the decision. Prusslan
and German history teaches that, as
well as the course which the cam
paign has hitherto taken.
In true comradship with my army
stands the navy. In unshakable will
to win the victory in the struggle
with opponents who are often su-
perior ,and, despite the united efforts
of the greatest naval power in the
world, my submarines are sure a sue
cess. They are tenaciously attacking
and fighting the vital forces which
are streaming across the sea to the
enemy.
g Ever ready for battle, the high sea
forces, in untiring work, guard the
road and submarines to the open sea
end, in unison with the defend
ers of the coast, safeguard for them
the source CT their strength.
Far from home, the small and he
roic band of our colonial troops is
offering brave resistance to a crush
.ngly superior force.
we remember with reverence all
who have given their lives for the
fatherland.
Filled with care for their broth
ers in the field, the people at home
are in self-sacrificing devotion plac-
ing their entire strength at the SER
vice of our great cause. We must ana
shall continue the fight until the
onemys will to destruction is bro
ken. We will make every sacrifice
and put forth every effort to that
end
In this spirit the army and the
homeland are inseperably bound to-
gether. Their united stand and un.
lending will is certain to bring vic
tory in the struggle for Germanys
right and Germany's freedom.

ROUNDUP COWBOYS TO
HONOR FALLEN COMRADE

Pendleton, Aug. 15.-For ten
years or more the name Of Dell and
Bertha Blancett have been linked
together in cowboy-land and togeth-
er they won prizes and championships
wherever there were contests to test
he skill of cowboy and cowgirl. But
at the annual Pendleton Roundup
aeXt month Bertha Blancett, cham
pior woman bronck rider of the world
will enter the contest without her
husband. Dell Blancett, ever since
the inception of the roundup one OF
The mo3 consistent winners, now
occupies hero's grave somewhere in
France.
Blancett, who was one OF the
leading spirits in the organization the
rough-riding Troop d at Pendleton

touch OF rheumatism, beat it,
straight to Canada after the round
up last fall. "I'll beat the boys over
the pond yet" he told the boys OF his
old troop. lie enlisted in the Cana
dian cavalry, was sent to England AZ
once and when the cayalry.was trans
ferred to artillery, was one OF seven
selected because of superior horse
manship TO fill the gaps of the famous
Lord Strathmore Horse. In the mlds.
Of the German offensive last spring
his troop charged a wood and Blan-
cett was laid low by a German sniper.
Those German bullets sure hit hard"
were his last words to his comrades,
according to a letter received here
recently from his commander who
paid a high tribute to the famous
cowboys fighting qualities.
At the roundup OF 1918, which is
to be held on Sept. 19, 90, and 21,
under the auspices of the Red Cross,
Blancett's companions of the wild

Flnland's Arlstocracy.

One of the anomalies of Finland,
now struggling for its independence,
is that 1t has inherited a foreign ar
istocracy, speaking Swedish. How for
eign 1t remains to the true interests
of Finland may be seen from the fact
that 1t has all along worked for Ger
man intervention In Finland, and even
helped to send thousands of young
Firms to join the German army. With
the importation Of German rulers into
Finland, the Finnish language will have
one more competitor to cut 1t from the
linguistic field, unless Swedish is en-.
tirely driven out by the language of the
newly arrived supermen.

Central Point Sees
Queer Sky Vision

According to reports residents OF
Central Point saw things" in the
sky last Monday night, which has
caused much comment in that vicin-
ity. At about 900 that evening n
streak of fire, at first thought a
meteor, was seen in the air abou.
three miles west of Central Point.
The streak seemed to split in two,
according to some witnesses, one
part ascending upwards out of sight,
end the other part drifting down
to earth until 1t reached yard on the
outskirts of Central Point.
A number of witnesses positively
state that they saw the queer sky
vision. The general impression
seems to be that some one sent no
a kite and before starting it heaven
ward had set fire to it. Then on
reaching a great height the burning
kite kept on going and the strand of
rope burned off from the kite, de-
scended. But the occurrence caused
many wild stories to be started, in
cluding the resurrection of that
peaceable old airplane that was sup
posed to lurk in the country back of
Roxy Ann last spring.
One woman, 1t is claimed, while
watching the burning light in the
sky, through strong field glasses, de-
olares she not only distinctly saw
The wings of an airplane, but saw
a bomb dropped from It.

cien F. Burpee.

waited assault and was sentenced to

rants issued for John Fl. KiIgallin
and William Donavan, who are serv-
ing sentences in the state prison at

on a charge of perjury in connection
with their testimony in the trial Of
William Murray of Boston, who was
convicted of being the third memb

Mr.. Alcorn told the court that he re-
gretted that he was unable to try the

FIRING FATAL SHOT

Police Sergeant Burns Killed
Norris PANEL.

James Burns was accused on the
witness stand in the criminal super
ior court today of having fired the
shot that killed Norris PANEL in the
keystone club riots last December
and for which William (Baby DolD
Thomas and Jake (Texas) Hankins
are now on trial for their lives. The
accusation was made by Attorney
William Fl. Lewis of Boston counsel
for Thomas, who asked Burns if the
reason he had not gone to the hos
pital to identify and interview PANEL
before he died was that he was afraid
that PANEL, in addition to his state
ment that a policeman had shot him.
would identify Burns as that police
man.
Burns declared that he had not
had any such fear and when asked if
O. guilty conscience had not kept him
from going to the morgue to identify
PANEL after he was dead again de-
clared that it was not his reason.
Don't you know, Sergeant Burns,
right down in your heart, that you
fired the shot that killed Pane1l?"
demanded Attorney Lewis and again
Burns answered that he did not.
Burns was on the witness stand all
during the morning session. under
cross examination and was put
through a severe test by Attorney
Lewis, followed by Attorney Franklin
Coel1er for Hankins. Burns answered
many questions by the statement that
he did not remember.
