Such a junction, we are told, would make possible the LINK ING ot the Ledo and Burma roads, enabling us to bring In heavy equipment to the Chinese. At present we can bring In, only light supplies by the air route over, tho Himalayas. IT looks like a race, you sec, be tween, us in tlio south, trying to get help to the Chinese before It Is too late, and tliu Japs In the north, trying to knock out the Chinese before we can gel help ! to them.. 1 t MAC ARTHUR taken another step In New Guinea. Wnkdu Island, long bombed, is LANDED ON and we're reaching tor Its airfield some 4500 feet long and capable of being ex tended to 7,000 feet to accommo date heavy bombers. From this field we can reach Palau Island, 1595 miles away, the Dutch East Indies Jap buse at Hulmahcra, 750 miles away, and even Davao, in the Philippines, 1000 miles away. The south Pacific war is a nteppltig:stone war (so far), and Wakdc gives us another stepping stone. . THE Tokyo radio says wo attack ed Soerabeja (former big Dutch naval base In Javn) on Wednesday and again on Thurs day. According to the Japs, Wed nesday's attack was by naval bombers from a task force and Thursday's by, long range heavy bombers, presumably from Aus tralia. We're keeping the Japs as busy as we can EVERYWHERE, so they will bo afraid to CONCEN TRATE anywhere. GENERAL ARNOLD (U. S. air force head) tells the Washing ton, reporters that the air war over Germany has VET TO REACH ITS PEAK. He speaks ol an air COM 13 AT 1'oroo of 2,300, 000, and adds that we don't know what air war can do 111 the way of knocking out an enemy but are GOING TO FIND OUT. He THEN adds: "The whole German air force IS NOW almost entirely without reserves and Is a SHELL which may lie near the cracking point." IN Italy, we've smashed the Ger mans' dustiiy line and are ham mering at the southern end and Iho center of their Hitler line (lying Just behind the Gustav). Our high command at Naples says: "If. S. and French blows tat the Gustav-) have forced the Gcr mans into a DISORDERLY RE TREAT Instead of a planned withdrawal to. their present line (the Hitler) In Italy." For confirmation of that, watch the prisoner totals (as and when they are given out). Whenuver the Germans arc forced Into dis orderly retreat, Hie totals will go. up, nI.finlin,.j ' i TUB Germans buiub Russian communications and concen trations in central Poland. Tlicy IMPROVEMENTS By Charles V. Stentofc Some mighty big improvements are in prospect in Douglas county as the result of recent activities. A fine .spirit of cooperation is in evidence everywhere to keep the ball rolling. Voters of the Roseburg school district recently1 accepted the challenge of progress by voting overwhelmingly for a five-year program of expansion of educational accommoda tions and facilities. The levy for the purpose ing buildings preparatory to fair was overwhelmingly approved. The Roseburg chamber of commerce, working in cooper ation with the city council and the school district, is or ganizing an extensive public recreational program, which will, if successful, provide public playgrounds, rest rooms, find a supervised and well - recreation and hobby set-up, ized to aid the development. The Roseburg city council oring to relieve existing traffic bottlenecks, and have succeeded in interesting the state highway department and the Public Roads Administration in a project which will open a new route for logging traffic and ease a dangerous and expensive condition in North Numerous other things are burg but throughout the county as a whole things that show the residents of the county to be wide awake to the possibilities of the future. , We had better face the fact now that it will not be easy to secure all of the improvements we need and desire. Our state budget law. is a fine safeguard against ex pensive1 administrations of a local character, but that law is a substantial bar to. rapid progress. No pne in Douglas j county realized that the industrial development could1 come as speedily as it has and no preparation was made to meet conditions brought about by the war emergency, which has j advanced by at least ten years, the day when our timber j would be forced to start moving into the markets of the world, . I Our county,, city and school district officials in past years have endeavored to keep budgets low and have not even applied the six per cent advance made possible by law. As a result our tax base has not increased over a period of ten or more years. In. fact, the tax rate has, in some cases, declined. Now we find ourselves hi the position. of needing more tax income, but are limited, to six per cent over the lust preceding levy. It will be necessary for lis to find other means of raising funds than by budget levies. . The. Roseburg school district solved n part of its problem, by the special five-year pro posal, but that is not the complete solution, for with a grow ing school system there Will be greater expense for .teachers and maintenance. . Some method of amending the state budget law, to per mit rapidly-growing communities . to meet these ' problems, must eventually be provided, and. should bo seriously con sidered before the next session of the legislature. In the meantime Douglas county continues, to grow and, with tho cooperative spirit now. in evidence, wo are sure wo will find our way out of tho financial maze. aren't wasting precious gasoline just for the fun of it. They huvo reason to believe tho Russians are MASSING FOR ATTACK there. T HE dispatches toil us that strong Fifth army RESERVE forces are MASSED AND WAIT ING at Anzio. Your map will tell, you they're waiting to hit the Germans from tho flank and the rear at the psychological mo ment. THE London Daily Mall says the Germans have massed gliders and transport planes in concealed hangars along the European coast in sufficient numbers to drop at least one airborne DIVI SION on Britain. Could be. It would he at least a suicide attempt to disrupt the launching ot our invasion, whose timing must he letter perfect If it is to click.

Wooten warned to day that all of Oregon's 18-to-26 ytar-old men "with very few ex ceptions" must plan to be in uni form within tho next few months. Tho state selective service di rector, back from the Washing ton conference where new draft regulations were formulated, said he would begin calling in young men immediately to meet the state's draft quotas. "Registrants over 26 years of age will be deferred so long as they are necessary men engaged in an essential Industry," Wooton said. "Men 30 years o age or over do not have to be necessary to escape the draft so long as they are engaged in some useful occupation. Tho young men, how ever, can make up their minds to f,o to war."

Barney, now of the army chaplain corps, former pastor of the First Christian church in Roseburg, in a letter from his commanding officer, Colonel Allison F. H. Scott, to C. F. Swander, Portland, state sec retary of Oregon Christian churches.' In his letter to Mr. Swander, from Camp Cooke, Calif., Colonel Scott said: For two years past I have known, intimately, Captain John A. Barney, Chaplain corps, first u'hiln cotiirtn .hnnln!,, rf A A ATP Fort Bliss. Texas, and since, Sem nlor chaplain 28th AAA group. "I desire to commend Chaplain Barney very highly to you, and to thank your Christian church for making such a man of God available to our armed forces. "I have worked closely with Captain Barney on church mat ters, and his untiring efforts and devotion to duty has won for him the hearts of all our men with whom he officially comes in con tact. I have fought side by side with Barney, when for a day and a half we fought successfully a terrific forest fire. His back ground in timber country and his outstanding leadership contrib uted to the success of our mis sion, for which the group was commended by three generals, in cluding Lieutenant General H. H. Arnold, army air forces. "I have played with Barney during - recreation hours, and being in his company is a plea sure and an inspiration. "Now that we are presently going forward to do our part in this world conflict, I felt you would Uko to know how the of ficers and men of this group and attached battalions feel about the chaplain who 'won our hearts, and on whom we count for spirit ual guidance and support."

EARLY INSTRUCTION OF CHILDREN NEGLECTED Editor News-Review: Every Sunday afternoon KRNR gives us abroadeast of a "Mediation lcms Board." It is startlinir. the Drob- brought to them, and I have felt that this board is doing an unusual, helpful work. One case has opened to me the lack of discipline and right teach ing in the homes of today. A young girl of sixteen determined to have her own way, disregard ing advice, forges a high school diploma, also a birth certificate, represent herself as eighteen and get into the war nurses trainine I class. When confronted with ac cusation, her excuse was she wants to nurse wounded and sick soldiers No matter how or what she has done, "The end jus tifies the means."

We are born to disobedience and the Creator put us in fami lies so we should be guided, taught and disciplined. The Bible gives instructions for raising children and If we would heed those instructions, much sorrow would be averted. Fully two-thirds of the cases brought before the "Mediation Board" are young girls who have brought trouble to parents and suffering to themselves. What is the remedy? Begin to teach obedience to the babe in the cradle. With all the disci- Pline, necessary. the child will develop the right self-expression and initiative for the good of all concerned.
