This condition prevails not only yith reference to har vesting berry and garden crops, but tp general farm work as well. It happens that farm work is just about the right employment for boys who are in nign scnoui or eollego. They do not have to sign up for steady or permanent employment but will normally finish the needed tasks In time to return to schopl In the fall. : At the risk of. becoming very unpopular with soroe of the strap ping young fellows who. are seen about town those line aiternopns, we suggest they investigate the possibility ol getting work on some farm. After all is said and dona food and. plenty of it will win the war--and those boys can help our- Douglas county farms produce food. It is war work. Cooperation WiH Wirt IF the recent war conversations held; between t"G thrco great warring United Nations, Britain, Russia and the, U. S. resulted In Russian cooperation - actively (gainst Japan in return for the establishment of an other front , in France by Britain and the U. S. then it was a good deal. Our bombers quite obviously need bas- , es at Vladlvostock from which to take off on bombing expedi tions over Japan. Certainly the Russians need the second front to. help divide Nazi strength. Complete understanding and full cooperation by all of the peoples engaged in the job of exterminat ing greedy and war-making gov ernments will mean victory. It appears now such cooperation does pxlst. Help Win the VYor-r-gnd, Earn THE president of the United States has given the "go" sig nal In the scrap rubber campaign. It Is simple, easy and profitable. Beginning Monday all that wc need to do to cooperate In the drive to gather scrap rubber is to take all the rubber wo can find to the nearest gasoline filling sta tion and leave It. For your trouble you will be paid lor the rubber at the rate of a cent a pound. It seems as If this represents a really wonderful opportunity for thp small boys and girls who want to do something to help win this war, to really go to work. Then In addition to the patriotic angle there Is a little spending money to be Rained hy the effort. O. K., boys and girls everybody are you ready to get our scrap rubber on Its way to help win the war? Editorials on News (Continued from page 1.) and, being out of fuel, dropped into the sea. LI ERE an Interesting point ap pears. The Jap planes DIDN'T bomb the runways on Midway. Appar ently they expected to capture tho island and use the runways themselves. THAT was a fatal mistake, for the American land-based planes (presumably also low on fuel and ammunition) returned to Midway shortly after the at tacking Jap planes had left. It was a critical moment for them. . r. If the Aliduay runways had. been destroyed, they would have had not place to land and would have been nearly as bad off I the Jap planes that returned to tbelr taking off place, and FOUND NO CARRIERS. As it was, they landed on the undamaged runways, re-fueled, took on ammunition and went back ipto, the fight OUCH is the pattern of the sue cossful defense ot Midway- With slight variation, It will be the pattern of ALL future de fense of land points against Inva sion from overseas. The OLD pattern of defending naval ships lining up to repel at tacking naval ships is on the way ?u(. Probably DEFINITELY OUT already. MIDWAY and Dutch Harbor " were CONNECTED enter prises. What happened (or may be still happening) at Dutch Har bor Isn t yet clear. But you may be sure the Japs were gunning for Dutch Harbor as well as Mid way. Get our your map, or better, your globe. You will note that Dutch Har bor, lit may appear only as Unl- mak island on your map) is stepping stone on the path to Jap an and SIBERIA. The ne$t step ping stona Is Petropsviovsk, at the tip of the Kamchatka penin sula. To understand the importance of these stepping stones, you need only to recall the way in which modern planes are being FLOWN to their destination, arriving in a matter hours. YOU will, be pertain at once that Japan had two purposes In mind: 1. To KNOCK OUT Dutch Har bor as an American stepping- stone threat to Japan. 2. To SEIZE IT, Is possible, as a Jap stepping-stone threat to. America.. PROM London we learn that Britain and Russia have sign ed a 20-year mutual assistance treaty. For Russia, it was signed by Foreign Minister Molotov him self, who came to London. The Londpn negotiations took only three days, Indicating that Britain and Russia had reached already such complete agreement of views as to make actual sign ing of the treaty a mere matter of form. That Is Important, for mutual suspicion had kept Britain and Russia- apart for years and prob ably had a lot to dp. with making tho war Inevitable. ROM London Molotov flew to Washington, where In a few days more he and President Roosevelt reached "unity of views" on: 1. A second front in Europe. 2. Increasing and speeding up of supplies of planes, tanks and other kinds of war materials from the U. S. to Russia. 3. ''Fundamental problems of co operation of the United States and Russia in safe guarding peace and security to freedom-loving peoples AFTER THE WAR." AS to all these deals, let us hope they follow faithfully tho sound principle learned long ago by business men that If an agreement Isn't mutually benefi cial, providing something of value for EVERYBODY CONCERNED, It won't work and so won't last. That principle now dominates all honest business dealings. If there Is to be any hope for a better world In the future, It must dominate INTERNATION AL dealings.

Requirements Eased Announcement was made today that the service can now accept men with satisfactory dentures, visual standards have been mark edly lowered and height and weight requirements have been adjusted so that men hitherto in eligible because of shortness or underweight can now make appli cation. It is urged that men who have failed a previous examina tion make a new attempt to qual ify as they may be accepted un der the new program. The state recruiting office re ports that the goal for enlist ments has been set at 882, the exact number needed to reach a total of 9,000 for the fiscal year which ends June 30. It is pointed out that Oregon recently lost Its position as the nation's number one source of volunteer manpower for the sea going unit of the national war ef fort. The recruiting agency is en deavoring to regain the spot lost last month, after having led the nation for seven consecutive months, as well as to keep Ore gon in first place for the. fiscal year, which position it held for the year ending last June 30. A recruiting officer will be In Roseburg Tuesday, June 16, for one day only. He will be at the of fice of the chamber of commerce and all men interested in volun teering for duty with the navy are urged to contact him at that time.

Sorv of Roseburg Resident Narrates ThreeVDay Ordeal at Sea Following Torpedoing of Ship by German Sub A most graphic description of the sinking of a U. S. merchant ship by a German submarine is contained in a letter received by James Miller, local contractor, from his son, Bui Miller, of Roseburg, who has been in serv ice with the U. S. merchant ma rine for the last three months. The boat on which he was serv ing was en route from Brazil to New York at the time of tho tor pedoing. Miller's description Is as follows: We were' not far from port when we got the first torpedo without any warning. It was at 2:30 in the afternoon and I was in my cabin talking to another fellow about what we were going to do when we got ashore. He said, 'It's best not to make too many plans,' and I said, 'No, it would just be our luck to get this far and then get bumped.' The words were just out of my mouth when there was an awful roar and shake that threw us across the room. I yelled, 'There she goes!' and started looking for my lllQ Jacket. All the lights went out immediately and it was just my luck to have my ports closed so I couldn't see anything. I finally decided to take time out and opened one port so I could see. I got my jacket on and went to my boat station. Boat With Motor Blasted "The ship was settled low and listing to port. The torpedo had struck amidships and had blown up one of our four life boats it would be the one with the motor in ft, too. The other midship boat, the captain's, was the only one to get away clear. The boat opposite mine was lowered but had to be cut loose to save It and two men jumped over and swam to it. It was a good thing they did as it was that boat that later saved all of us. "All the life rafts were tipped and In the water, an occurrence which was to be a good thing for me. Anyway, the real excitement all centered around my boat. We had lowered it almost to the wa ter and there were five men in it when one of the firemen lost his head and let go the forward falls that is the block and tackle to lower the front end of the boat. We were still moving about 15 knots so It whipped the front of the boat around and it was drop ping stern first almost straight up and down in the water. Three of the men were thrown out and I don't think I'll ever forget the ex pression on the faces of those men as they drifted away, appar ently with no chance for anyone to help them. They were lucky enough, however, to beplcked up by the captain's boat later. Mean while the other two men were hanging on somehow and I low ered the other fall, then lot It pay out so the boat was turning some 20 feet astern of the ship but at least level and as soon as we lost speed It was easy to haul it up close again. Fires Back at Submarine "It was about that time we saw the sub. (All this takes a long time to tell, but, of course, It all happened In a few seconds.) It was a stormy day and the water full of white caps so the lookout didn't have a chance to spot the periscope; but I guess the Ger man thought we didn't have any fight left so he surfaced about a mile away. We all made a run for the gun and we thought we got him with our first shot. We fired about six rounds before ho went under and I think the only time I got excited was when I thought we had sunk him, "By this time the ship had stopped. We hauled our boat alongside and all got in. The cap tain left the ship and his boat swung clear. We were just ready to get go when someone spotted one of the naval gunners still aboard. He was just a kid. I don't know what happened but he was just wandering slowly around the docks and we finally attracted his attention long enough to get him over to us but he just stared down at us. I don t know how we would have got him down if the Jerry's hadn't solved the problem for us. "He was a long way from be ing finished and dirty enough to resent us firing back at him. He came up close and fired a torpedo at the stern end of our ship. It would have been an easier target and much more logical to have fired at the side, but he evidently wanted to show us we are not supposed to shoot at anything be longing to Adolph, so he let us have It on the stern where 17 men In the lifeboat would also get blown up. wnen tne tin nsn strucK we were only about ten feet away and in addition to everything else the ammunition was right above our heads. Blown Into Air "What happened after that is hard to descrilie-trcven If I do re member it only too well. Lifeboat and all 17 of us. together with the gunner who didn't want to leave the ship, were blown about 20 feet In the air and then sucked down another 20 feet in the wa ter. At the time I thought it was 100 feet. I got a nasty crack on the head somewhere in the Jour- i ney and when I came down I hit the gumvhale of the lifeboat I Among the hundreds of things I thought of in the next few sec onds was that my ribs were broken. I was sucked down and down, twisted head over heels and every which way by the suction and my life jacket was half torn off, so that when I did come up I came up stern first and if some one hadn't rolled me over I don't think I could have made it. "What happened in the next few minutes was supposed to be funny to the rest and it Is still a joke not to call me by name but just to stick a thumb into the air and yell, 'Huh?', for they say that that was all they could get out of me. I was deaf as a post from concussion and that was the only thing I could do to let them know I was O. K. but couldn't hear. Anyway, it must have been quite an explosion as the captain's boat, 300 feet away, was filled with falling water. The miracle is that not one of us was killed. "In the water next to me was the same fireman who had let the boat fall in. He had a jacket on and was in no danger of sink ing when he made a grab for me. I never felt so much like drown ing anyone in my life. But I got away and found an oar for him to hang on ta It didn't do him any good but it calmed him down. We finally all reached the boat, but it was full of water and half the bottom blown out, but the air tanks kept it afloat while we hung onto the outside. "It was about this time that the ship went down bow first. It was quite a sight to see the battered stern raise way up into the air and then dive under with a great roar and hiss. Ten thousand tons of one of the finest cargo ships afloat. Adolph made a good haul that time! Three-Hour Ordeal Follows "It was clinging to that sunken boat for three hours that I never will forget. It was cold and stormy. Every wave washed over our heads. My knees were bruised an. cut to ribbons from, rubbing the sides of the boat. Every now and then someone would give out and we would have to hoist him into the boat to rest. It was just as freezing cold and wet in the boat but they didn t have to hang on. "It was in that condition that the German found us as he came alongside for a chat. At first we thought he was going to shell us, but I guess he thought we were done for anyway. He came up and asked us the name of the ship, tonnage, cargo, destination, etc., and then left us. Nazi Callousness Noted "They are quite a bunch, those nazis they turn out over there. If they had shown any signs of re gret or humanity I could have un derstood why. Or, if they had even been happy at sinking such a good ship, even that would have been understandable, but they showed just plain bored indiffer ence. We might have been so many seagulls in the water for all they cared. We did have the satisfaction of seeing how close we came to fin ishing him though. He had to have the crew out to fix up tho after stay, tho cable from the conning tower to the stern, as we had shot It away. We couldn t see either of the other two boats. One Was full anyway and wo didn't know if they had ever caught the other one. We were a pretty desperate gang when we finally saw one o the life rafts. We swam and drag ged our boat to it. Too many men tried to get on it and it turned over. Although it still floated it was impossible to he down to rest. We did have one lucky break then. As we had to stand up, we spotted two more life rafts just a short distance away. We finally made it to them and all got j aooaru, wnere wc lay down and covered up with a tarpaulin. It didn't seem like any time or place for sleeping but about half of them did, while some of the rest got awfully sick. Tortured By Cold "It wasn't long afterwards when one of the lifeboats return ed and took us off. The first night we had a fine wind and made good time. The next two days and nights we rowed. Right now I'll argue with anyone that one of those oars weighs 500 pounds. The worst trouble, of course, was the cold. We were all soaking wet and it was always raining or misty so we never got a chance to dry out at all. All we had to eat was sea biscuits and malted milk tablets. They were good emergency rations though. They fill you up, anyway. Best of all they keep you from getting thirs ty. If we had only had a few ciga rettes it would have helped. I thought of that just as we aban-, doned ship and took a chance and went below and got a carton. I passed them out but most of them , just happened to go to men In ! other boats. What few we had couldn't be smoked anyway. Rescued After Three Days "We were only In the boat three days, so we were mighty lucky. We never saw a ship or a 1 patrol plane all that time until the third day. Then we saw a ship in the distance. It was a foggy day and we were afraid they ; wouldn't tee us. We tried to shoot j News of Men i1 From Douglas County In War Service Word has been receive here from San Francisco that First Lieutenant Frank G. Erno, for merly with Co.

Family Kin to be Deferment Basis WASHINGTON, June 12 (AP) A senate-house conference com mittee agreed yesterday that "family relationships" should be a basis for deferment from milit ary service as they compromised differences in legislation provid ing allowances for wives, child ren and other dependents of low est paid men in the fighting forces. Senator Thomas (D Utah), who forecast speedy senate and house approval of the compro mise, said that the new fniniiu relationship provision represent ed a modification of the original selective service act "but does not upset it". The new measure would be retroactive to June 1 but officials said payments probably could not begin Until ahont Nnvpmlup ha. cause of the vast amount of book- work and organization necessary to make the payments and allot. ments. There was no substantial dif ference between the senate and house Versions nf navmnntB fnp wives.children and other denend- ents. The senate previously complet ed congressional action on a ser vice pay bill to fix minimum pay at $50 a month and increase pay in all branches up to the rank of the second lieutenant, or its eq uivalent, with increased allow ances for higher officers.
