COL. LEADER TRAINS
MEN IN WAR METHODS

University of Oregon, Eugene,
Feb, 9.-In four weeks, Lieut.. Col.
John Leader, commandant of the
university battalion and instructor in
military science, has converted the
800 men in the university battalion,
who hardly knew the rudiments OF
the manual of arms, into unit
working with precision and accuracy.
Eight hours of military work
week is being required of every man
in the university who is able to
shoulder a gun. All of the military
instruction is being carried on with
the idea that the men will have act
ual use for 1t when they get to Eu-
rope. This semester for the first
time military science is being taught
as a profession and is becoming
major department instead of a side
issue.
Colonel Leader is fitting his cadets
for officers. He believes that the
United States needs officers trained
in military science even more than
1t needs privates.
President Campbell, who is al
present in Washington, D. c., has
been sending encouraging messages
in regard to a reserve officers train
Ing camp at the university. Applica-

CoV0te Hides Are
Brought for Bounty

A total of 1870 was paid for boun-
ties for predatory animals in klamath
county during the month of January,
according to the report made by the
county clerk, says the klamath Falls
Herald. With the exception of about
$40 paid for bobcats, the entire
amount was paid for coyote bounties,
which would mean between eighty
and ninety animals, the present
bounty. being SO. 1t is reported that
the largest portion of the animals

How B0lSheViki
Is Pronounced

There are almost as many Local
pronunciations of the words "Bol.
sbevik" and "Bolsheviki' as there
are of the words LOS Angeles"
1t Is "Bol-shee-veek," with the
accent on the last syllable and the
20" as in the word go"
It is "Bol-shee-vee-kee," with the
accent on the "kee," if you refer to
the party.
This is according to Colonel John
S. Irby, surveyor of customs, who
gets it from an educated Russian
gentleman, just passing through San
Francisco.
Colonel Irby's informant adds that
the term YVES originally attached to
the Bolsheviki more in opprobrium
than otherwise. The impression has
been prevalent that the word meant
majority" or something equivalent
to it. -........
Irby's man claims that 1t is about
the equivalent of the American slang
term Johnny Wise" and translated
literally signifies "grOwn-ups" or
big men. Siskiyou News.

CAPITAL ABSORBED
IN PERIOD OF WAR

The last annual report of Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo con-
tains the following:
"The government must, if neces-
sary, absorb the supply of new capt.
tai available for investment in the
United States during the period of
the war. This, in turn, makes it
essential that unnecessary capital eX-
penditures should be avoided in pub
lie and private enterprises. Some
form of regulation of new capital
expenditures should be provided"
In fixing the dates and amounts of
the Liberty loan issues the secretary
Of the treasury considers not only
the needs of the government, but
takes into careful consideration the
business of the country and the
financial needs Of the country's busi-
ness.
While NO specific authority has
been conferred by law upon him to
pass upon new undertakings involv-
ing large expenditures of capital, la
bor or material, the secretary states
that banks, corporations, municipal
and state officials have submitted to
Kim plans for new enterprises or is
sues of securities and that it is ap-
parent that the United States govern

ment may count upon full measure
OF cooperation on the part of states,
municipalities and private business.
50 that no issue of state or other
securities will interfere or unduly
compete with the Liberty loan issue.
The secretary has requested the
Federal Reserve Board to pass upon
such proposals as may be submitted
to him and advise whether such ex-
penditures of capital requiring the
use OF labor and material and such
issues Of new securities should be un-
dertaken. Material and labor as we'll
as capital are involved and both pub
lie improvements and new private
enterprises, entirely proper and COM
mendable in time of peace, will, in
great measure, now be considered in
the light of and in connection with
the governmental problems of
finance and other military necessi-
ties
The secretary urges that before
making contracts requiring the use
OF labor and material, and before
placing new issues of securities or
agreeing to purchase new issues of
securities, the Federal Reserve Board
he conferred with. The cooperation
and coordination of state, munich
pal and private business with the
business of the national government
are important to the success of all
and the winning of the war.

TURKS THREATEN TROUBLE
Bulgars Also FESTIVE Under Domino
ton of German Rulers.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE posi-
bility of open conflict between Turkey
and Bulgaria, over territorial spoiis OF
war, is watched here with great in
terest and is known to be causing seri-
Gus misgivings at Berlin. Information
reaches here that Turkey had sent
troops to the Bulgarian border because
of the trouble.
The revolutionary spirit is ripe IN
the Bulgarian army and among the
civilian population, according to re-
ports. The Bulgarians want more ter
ritory and are said to be determined
to secure all of Serbia and even por-
ton of Austria. They already have
secured a strip off northern Turkey
including one-half of the city of
Adrianople.
Demanded BuIgar Territory.
Another cause for dissension is the
fact that when Bulgaria was awarded
the Dobrudja in the Rumanian peace
treaty dictated by Germany, Turkey
demanded the concession of that por-
ton of it's northern territory that had
previously been given Bulgaria as a
reward for entering the war on the
side of the central powers.
The recent resignation of Premier
Radoslav of Bulgaria is said to have
been caused by his inability to secure
more territory and his unwillingness
to betray the central powers. The new
premier, Malinoff, is believed here to
be figurehead who will accept tn
dictation of Germany, but the army
and the popu1ace are not satisfied with
the situation.

MONEY, THEN SERVICE
Hereafter, However, Oakley Phone
Man VIII Give Service. 50

All manner of trouble may be In
store for Lee Stewart, manager of a
telephone plant at Oakley, Logan
county, because he wanted to be sure
he would receive pay for war mes
sages. Stewart refused to let members
Of the Logan county board use his
phone wires unless they would person.
ally guarantee payment of tolls.
Several rather warm kilograms
have been sent to Stewart from the
office of Charles S. Huffman, adjutant
general. The government pays the
telephone bills of the local boards
when they are properly presented and
the departments in charge of the war
are not inclined to hImor the whims
OF a small town phone manager.
When Stewart issued an order con-
corning the use of his wires by the
Logan county board, report was sent
to General Huffman. Quite promptly
Stewart was asked for an explanation.
1t was reported that delays in trans
hitting war information and draft
orders were occasioned because Stew
art was a bit over Jealous about coll
lecting toll charges. In answer to a
telegram from General Huffman,
Stewart today wired that war mes
sages would receive first considera-
ton by his company. But he wanted
to be assured that he would receive
his money promptly.
