He believed it would be seized and combined with the Italian navy to support an axis onenslve against Egypt and . points east, and thus prepare the way for a blow at Russia's Cau casian flank. ' Air power, "the cheapest form of attack," has been used where ever possible by the axis to sink Isolated allied flotillas and heavy units, he declared, and added: "The great surface units of the nazis, the battleships Tirpitz and the battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gnelscnau, the Italian battle squadron, and the entire Japanese first battle lino are bclne hus banded carefully against the day OUR BOARDING HOUSE with MAJOR HOOPLE ASTOUND VOU VJITH V REVEL- y&f- A GREW wlilP WM ATlON- IT WAA MY BULLET 1 JOB, MAOTR.'

Facing their first wartime sea son since 1918, the 67th annual National league campaign and the 42nd for the American circuit open in the most unusual setting In the history of basuball.

High, school base ball players will loosen up their batting eyes for the-second lime this year when they tangle with Oakland high this afternoon at Oakland. The local nine opened the season with a hard-earned 7-6 victory over Myrtle Creek last Friday. Since then they have been unable to practice any fur ther because of weather condi tions, but Coach Hod Turner re ports that they are all in Iod phy sical condition after their first encounter. , The locals showed up very well last , week in their opening tilt and doubtless will jmprovc as iney piay more, lo date tney have been greatly hampered by the weather and the condition' of the field but the boys have res ponded admirably to the condi tions and exhibited fine ability of playing last week.. ... Dick Pendergast, winning pitch er for Roseburg last week,, will probably open on the . mound again for tho locals when they play this afternoon. In the Myrtle Creek tiff Pendergast struck out ten men and pitched fine ball considering it was his first at tempt at hurling.

A; EDWARDS With President Roosevelt recommending the reading of the Bible to those who are serving in the armed forces, the army will soon begin dis tribution of- 1,250,000 pocket size Testaments especially pre pared for the three major re ligious groups. In the fore word to the Testaments1 the president said: "Throughout the centuries, men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the sacred book words of wisdom, counsel and in spiration. It is a fountain of strength and now as always an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul. Inscribed in gold on the front cover with the words: "Army of the United States," the pocket testaments will b2 presented to every man in the army who wants one, accord ing to the war department. In an afterword, Brigadier Gen eral W. R. Arnold, the army's chief of chaplains, who had charge of preparing and dis tributing the Testaments, urg ed the soldiers to make the ac quaintance of their chaplains at their first opportunity, de claring that his counsel and advice will guide you in avoid ing or overcoming many dif ficulties. This gift of the na tion should be an inspiration to tho boys enlisting in the war, and it is stimulating to know our president and officers are interested in the spiritual wel fare of the soldiers. "My word shall not return unto me void, it shall accomplish that which I please and prosper in the thing where unto I sent it." Amen.
