The peoplo of this country huvo had ample opportunity to observe how that sort of thing works out for tbo rust of tbo peoplo. The wars tltat arc raging today aro all duo to the fact that a single man, or small groups of men, in the various aggressive countries have taken unto themselves by force, the same sort of control contem plated by tho young men mention ed above. We bavo seen this con dition devolop. Our newspapers und magazines have told the story. We sco tho results war, destruc tion, unbappiness in wholesale quantities in tbo countries thus controlled. Wo want none of it here. Winter weather is beginning to make headlines. Fortunately the headlines are over stories coming from the east. We have enjoyed only u very mild winter thus far. It may be noted here that the chief weather forecaster for the United States is In' ho danger of being executed whether his pre dictions are right or wrong. In Ilussiu it is reported that the weather man was "liquidated" be cause he failed.to accurately fore cast tbo freezing weather encoun tered by tho soviet invasion of Finland. It is useless to warn anybody ubout anything, us we all know, but it happens that this writer has been doing qulto a little driving lutcly and that much of it has been done at night. Knowing the high ways between Jhere and Portland pretty well and where to go cau tiously over the frosty spotB, prcs onl conditions offer us no prob lem. Bui tho stranger to this urea or the person who drives but sel dom during this time of year, should be wurnod that places along the highway that aro not reached by tho sun during the day uio potentially dangerous especial ly at night because they will be frosty und slick. . Discussing business und things In general with a local merchant this morning your editor learned, somewhat to his surprise, that the merchant has this week been en gaged in the pleasant tusk of buy ing a supply of bathing suits und straw hats. . That is a mighty pleasant way to spend u cold after noon, it would seem to us, Rut the conversation ubove referred to gave rlso to this thought: Rose burg merchants are alert always to the needs of this county. They buy well In advance of need and Ihcy keep good complete slocks. We. have previously said,' and it will bear repeating now und often - shop the Itoseburg stores first.

(Special) Dame Fortune smiled one of her toothy grins Friday night as Riddle won all games of a triple header from Days Creek. In the volley ball game it was 82-14, In the main event basketball thriller 31-22, and not to bo outdone thp Riddle Hus kies won theirs 32-28. The Irish just couldn't get un der way in the first half, or else the basket was too elusive for they trailed 3-9 at the quartor aud 8-16 at the rest period. However, in the second hulf the outlook took on a groener complexion as Riddle found tho range, und got down to buslnoss. In a few minutes Days Creek was In full retreat, unable to cope with a rejuvenated band of fighting Irishmen, Riddle's girls had little trouble trimming their opponents as they rtever were behind at any time. The half ended at 14 9, und short ly after the rest period Riddle had widened the gap to a point that allowed the spectators to breafh deeply, Rlddlo (31) (22) Duys Creek Hart (9) V Jackson Carpenter (13) P (11) Ward nates (3) : ,.

CHAPTER XH Captain Franklin Boll, In com mand of two outpost companies of the 11th United Statea infantry In the vicinity of Laredo, had pa trols along the Rio Grande watch ing for the first Vnn Hassek wave. Word had flashed through .of the bombing of San Antonio and Boll knew that the land invasloninust be shaping Itself already for in vi tal blow nt Texas when daylight came. 1 A corporal slunk into Hie com pany command post shortly after 2 a. m. "Thero's a lot of soft noises nnd some splashing down along the river, Cnp'n," tho corporal re ported. "My guess Is some of 'em IB across In skiffs and It'll not be long before they're putllng in foot bridge:,." Captain Boll decided to Investi gate. Proceeding cautiously down to ward the Rio Grande, Boll puuseil every few minutes to listen. Once he thought he heard the cough of it mnn out ucross tho water. But thero were no sounds of bouts, no Indlcullnus of those first creep ing operations of a liver crossing by night. "You must hnvo been henrlngn things, Lour," Boll whispered dis gustedly. "Not mo, sir," Corporal Lear stood his ground. "Thoy was making some noise down there, even 11 thoy bavo hushed up now." - Boll was creeping nearer to the river when tho corporal gripped his arm. At the same Instant Leur sprawled flat ou the ground and cautiously maneuvered his bolt action Springfield rlflo into firing position. Boll's pulse loaped as he caught the omen of black fig ures silhouetted In the dim star light a stone's throw distant. Tho shadows moved guardedly. As thoy came, within a score of paces, Lcaj- reloased the safety lock of his rifle and laid his eye along its barnel. , Tbo skulking shadows in tho night bad dlsappearcn" Into a hur row swulo. Shortly they rouppeur ed. Boll's eye now picked out (be telltale outlines of a large scuttle shaped steol helmet that disclosed a Van Hassek soldier. Lear caught tho silhouette at tbo snme instant and coolly squeezed the trigger of his rifle. Tho vindictive bark of Leur's SpiiugMcId brought tho sharp echo nf 11 el-v nf imln A ftmirn mnn 111 ftho nlgbt und collapsed In u for ward sprawl. In tho same Instant canto stabs of flitmo und tho wild ping of bullets. Boll drew his uutomutlc pistol from his holster. Tho firing ecus cd, which warned Boll that Van IlasBek's pulrol was maneuvering for position. ' "All right, Lear, let's get out of here," he commanded. By alternately crawling, rolling, und running crouched closs to the ground, they reuched the outpost position at last. "It Ibis turns out to bo a war, It was mo fired tbo first shot, Cap'n," Corporal Leur exulted. Colonel's Denn's voice sung over the field telepltuno from his posi tion n mile buck whore he had his regiment lightly dispersed along a sandy ridge. . 'What's thai shooting, Boll?" the colonel wanted to know. "Elieniy, sil'," Boll reported calm ly. "I saw them myself this time. Tliclr first bridgehead wave Is across the llio Grande and moving in on us." "All right, sit. tight until you verify (he crossing und develop the slronglh of- their brlileghniid waves. When things get hoi drop back, but don't get yourself in volved In u sorbins tight nt this time. Keep me Informed of devol opiuenls." Colonel Donn had spent a fretful night, well knowing the tight pinch In which bo might find his regi ment nt dawn. His regiment was ut peacu strength, ririe companies running ns low as seventy, mini slrengili 1132 officers and men. No artillery suppnrl had been sent hint from Fort Sum Houston, his only siipporllng weapons were tho 37 mlllluieier ami small nioriars of Ills weapons companies. HIh am munition supply wus less than one day of lire. Such a thing us Interdicting sus pected points of enemy river cross ing was out of Iho question, lie hud given Boll.

Men scattered, lay flat on their faces, helpless iigalnsl Ibis hurricane of desti uctioii that bowled down upon them ucross the Uio Grundy. All existence was now onguired by the seething uproar of artil lery. Boll an w that the regiment was clulmlnc the fullest forco of Van Hassek's luge. Hulf an hour and Doll's casual. Hon wer ? twenty. Pslrola had lem.n ijf(iic4l, 'an luureaHlng num. ber.,, of, skulkers kw reported closing in. Boll saw that his po. sitlon was becoming untenable. The artillery lifted over his po sition. . Machine guns began pour ing n heavier volume of hot lead In on him, His men now had tar gets, black shadows in the night that closed down on the little out post force In goaded rushes. ' Roll rushed about to reorganize his position against assault. HIb men held doggedly, firing now only when they saw a moving target. The ammunition was gone from their bl and the riflemen had only a single extra bandolier to fall back on. The machine guns conserved their fire, Boll made an estimate of his sit uation at 2:40 o'clock. His casual- tics wore now twenty-seven men dead or wounded. Lleutont Cole, muchlnc-gun commander, wns dead. Boll estimated nls ammunition would hold out only another ton minutes. Ho stal led his men slowly to tbo rear, with two squads covering his withdrawal. The enemy, suspi cious of a possible trap in tho night, followed cautiously. From thin Boll cuessed that only me first scultoring bridgehead troops were In action. Hilt, having guess- ed that tho Amorlcans were with out benefit of artillery, the Van Haasek officers now would use the main bridge nnd move across the Rio Grande In rorce. Boll had covered loss than two hundred yards when a runner ar rived from Colonel Donn. "The colonel says got back us fust as you can!" tho messenger punted. Regiment is pulling out right nway for the Nueoos." Hulf un hour later, Boll panted Into tho regimental position. Cup- lain March, assistant plans' und training officer, came hurrying up from a vacated regimental post- tlon. - ' t ' , "Regiment pulled out twenty minutes ago," Maruh reported to Boll. "You re to follow ut onco us renr guard. Trucks are ready behind this hill.

Having given the second us orders lo assemble und march on Kirk, Brill set aboul his final tactical plans. From time to limo Brill nnd his staff woro liilnrruptcd by reports of air disasters over Now Or leans, Galveston and Houston. To tal losses thero nggruguted twelve hundred. All troop facilities In those cities were ordered to assist tho civil authorities In relief work und mulhtenaiico of order. ' At llrownsvlllo there was only the 12th cavalry, wllh Its socond squadron detached at Fort Ring gold one hundred and ton mlloB up the Rio Grandu. Total strength 1150.
