In such circumstances, the little yellow men leave the un lucky victims to die.; ' THE point of the Sumatra Inci dent Is that the British, with the Invasion on, arc able to spare a powerful loot, including battleships,-to the. Indian oeoti.i sifid that our navy, fighting the Japs In the, Pacific, Is able to spare carriers to go cicar around to join them. That Is notice to the Japs that they're facing REAL strength. FROM , allied headquarters In Ceylon comes the statement that our forces are now prepared to meet ANY Jap threat In the Imphal and Kohlma areas. The dispatch adds that our Infantry and TANKS continue to press OUTWARD from the Manlpur plain. . . Ona guesses that we've been able to get In reinforcements If ASTER than the Japs. .. THE Germans still hold Seva stopol, but a Russian corres pondent says that red armies and the red fleet are massed there to "throw the enemy Into the sea." As nearly as one can gather from the news reports, the red fleet and the red ulr force have stopped German efforts' from Sevastopol by sea. As fast as a ship manages to get away from the shore, the Russians sink It. BERLIN says the Russians are pouring heavy reserves from the Ukraine into the 250 mile front between the Dnestr river and the Hripet marshes. Through this gap runs the shortest and best route, well supplied by rail roads, INTO GERMANY. Romania is quiet. There are hints that Russia is trying to In duce the Romanians to lay down their arms and quit, as the Ital ians did. The red unities may be holding cff wliile the red diplo mats work. ;, Bui you may be sure the Rus sian armies are gathering strength for the blow that will follow If the Romanians DON'T quit. Meanwhile we continue to bomb, the German .communica tions riming through the Danube r ' ' valley thus hampering thf iinzls i'- Asl(l' from "" m of pen In their . efforts to assemble ls(,n" fw 1 10 ''"f'.11 ,ls l"ly strength enough to STOP Hie Russians in Romania.. INTEREST In the Euroeaii war centers now largely on the In vasion and when it will come. Hitler's newspaper, the Voel k I s c h e r Beobachter ( People's Watchman), warns the German home front that it will be con fronted this summer, or even this spring, with the hardest and bloodiest battles of history when the expected western invasion is launched simultaneously Willi a NEW Russian offensive. Stockholm, where rumors fly VOTE AT SCHOOL ELECTION By Chart V. Stantos IF you are a resident and taxpayer in the Roseburg school district, you should not fail to vote tomorrow at the special election called to pass upon 'the general-purpose proposal sub mitted by the board of school directors. The general-purpose levy plan is comparatively new in Oregon, but has been given approval by the state's attorney general and is being proposed in other school districts and municipalities throughout the'state. Salem has voted a six mill general-purpose levy, the same as is suggested for the Roseburg district, while Portland is submitting a proposi tion, designed to raise $5-milIion. Residents in the Eugene district have voted a seven-mill tax for a period of five years, strictly for high school purposes, this being in addi tion to postwar reserve funds requiring another seven mill tax. ' i - The directors of the Roseburg district are asking the voters to approve a levy of six mills for a period of five yeai's. ; On current valuations this levy would raise approxi mately $150,000 but it is anticipated there will be an in crease in valuation which should, over the period of time specified, make total receipts slightly higher than the esti mate. ' t A boom town always is faced with problems. When pop ulation, grows too rapidly, it becomes necessary for local governing bodies to provide to meet the need. When schools become overcrowded it is the responsibility, of the community to provide adequate facilities. The same condition applies to hospitals, streets, sewers, lights, police protection, fire protection and other municipal services. Tax income increases slowly, but de mands for additional services can come suddenly as has been the case in and around the sawmill towns Of Douglas county. This means we cannot postpone steps to meet the demand imposed upon our educational system. Dr. Victor P. Morris, dean of the school of business ad ministration at (lie University of Oregon, recognized as one Of tho leaders in postwar planning, said recently : "It is logical that each political unit, state, county, muni cipality, school district and others should take Immediate steps to put Its financial house In order, accumulate cash, and build up adequate reserve and sinking funds, and, . where Unavoidable, arrange for bond gules. - - , '. ."The necessary moves to accumulate cash reserves should be made now rather than wait to finance with bonds. Local taxes can probably come easier now than at a later time when conditions are tougher and public works are .;. , .necessary to bring up the volume of business and maintain '."employment. Every dollar stored away In a reserve fund . is In reality doing double duty; It serves now to curtail in , j flatlon and later to maintain economic activity and prevent Inflation." . . Reserve funds can be authorized for specific purposes or for, general' mirnoses. The o-enernI-mii-nr,h. lew. inmn wliich voters of Roseburg district will pass their opinion, permits the lunds tp be used tioii, '.improvement, betterment, schools, school plants and' school premises, to provide more adequately for the public school population of said district on secondary and elementary This broad designation of may bo put, provides a flexible ture needs of the school district of new population. It is our opinion the measure should receive unanimous endorsement. Whatever your opinion may bo, it is your duty to express that opinion at tho polls. The vote" will bo taken between 2 and 7 p. in. at the junior high school building. Be a good citizen Votel thicker than gnats on a summer evening, is saying the invasion is likely to come within the next ten days, us in this period occur the heaviest channel tides of the year and heavy tides will facili tate allied landing operations. If you are wise, you will pay NO attention to these rumors. Tho invasion will be launched whenever, in the Judgement of our highest command, it is most likely to succeed. LETTERS to the Editor CROSS INCOME TAX FOR PENSIONS IS FOUND O. K. Editor News-Review: As petitions will be circulated this week to place the Townsend state pension plan on the ballot In tho November election, some are asking where there is any proof that the gross income tax really has worked out satisfac torily to all concerned. On March 31, 1914, I received n letter from Hon. William Dai'lhwlck, tux commissioner of the Hawaiian islands, as follows: "Being the first person to Intro duce tills type of tux before u legislative body, much attention has been directed to me personal- 121" I " -""""- -in mini ui m.v The federal net Income tux will result In bankruptcy. I favor the gross Income tax, both for state and federal government where, once adopted, its simplicity and results assure Its permunency." Hawaii has had this system of taxation for ten yeait and every body favors It. JOSEPH W. LEMMER, Roseburg, Oregon.

San Quentin On the Air starts their new series tonight at 7:10 - without our favorite Johnny Trutlrung.
