It auiieai-s that our iilrhorno commandos have CUT the com munication lines that servo the Jap forces that are attacking Imphal and Kohima. If we HAVE 'cut these communications and can KEEP them cut, the Jap forces . over the line In India will be doomed. No military force, even rice eating jungle Japs, can continue to operate without new supplies of food and ammunition.

THERE is other interesting news from this theater of the war. Mountbatten lias moved his 'headquarters from New Delhi to Ceylon. Ceylon is an important British naval base. Churchill told us some weeks ago that Britain now has IMPORTANT naval strength in the Indian ocean. When the REAL ATTACK on Burma comes It will come by sea, and Ceylon Is the natural place for It to start. At Ceylon, Mountbatten will be In direct contact with British naval commanders, whereas ut Mew Delhi he was far 'removed from them.

By Charles V. Stantos RESIGNATION of Clyde Beard, principal of Roseburg sen ior high school, adds new difficulties to reorganization of the district's teaching staff, as his decision follows close ly upon that of City Superintendent W. M. Campbell, whb 'is leaving the Roseburg schools after 20 years of service. The two resignations are not related, as Mr. Beard has long been debating acceptance of the opportunity offered hini to join the staff at Linfield college a chance for advancement too important to be rejected, as much as he regrets' departure from the Roseburg school system. We know Principal Beard position he has held for more not only because he has told us so, but because we know the sincerity of his effort to maintain an efficient school. No man can so earnestly and successfully strive to achieve an objective without suffering heartbreak when he must leave the task in which his love has centered. The greatest sorrow lies ahead, however, when he must separate from the boys and girls in whose behalf he has labored so diligently. Clyde Beard has been more than a school principal. He is "Pop" Beard to the students of the Roseburg high school and the nickname has been applied through sincerity, which makes it particularly appropriate. He has been counsellor, father confessor, guide and friend, voluntarily assuming an obligation far beyond the call of duty. A man whose Christianity but in deed, he has given to the operation of the Roseburg high school a personal example of spiritual leadership which has had a marked influence upon those who have passed Uirougft the portals of that institution. It is to be regretted that a man of his calibre must be lost to the district. But it is easy to understand that one who has shown such capabilities must be sought for service in larger fields. He will be hard to replace when the teaching staff of the Roseburg schools is reorganized for the coming year. The district has been particularly fortunate in the type of men and women who have served as officers and instructors. We believe it has .been fortunate in the choice to fill the vacancy" left by the resignation of Mr. Campbell. We have been most favorably impressed by the personality and ability of Wal ter V. Dennis, who is, to take over the task of city superin tendent. Mr. Campbell served the district well, particularly in the field of finance. He leaves a record of which any man may well be proud. His successor is a man who is not only well versed in matters of school finance, but who, like Mr. Camp bell, places emphasis upon the ability of those chosen to serve as instructors, insisting upon high educational stan dards in the schools over which he exercises control, mak ing teaching performance paramount to all other issues. ..To fill the place loft by Principal Board will be no less difficult, but we have confidence the board will be able to find a man well qualified for the position. Wo know that the parents of the boys and girls who are students at the Roseburg high school, or who have been graduated during the years he has served as superintendent, are extremely appreciative of the service he has reildered the district and join us in regretting his departure, while rejoicing in the fact that he has won the recognition he so richly deserves. .
