When wo defeut Germiiny's strategllc reserves, we'll have the War pretty well won. THE dispatches make it plain (ad' this' Is' written) that the jig German counter-attack hasn't yet begun. Ifou may wonder why. Keep tills In mind: The Ger mans have to be sure It IS the real thing bctore they throw in large bodies of their not-too-plcntilul reserves at any particu lar point. If they do that too sooni at the WRONG place, wo may hit SOMEWHERE ELSE and Catch them dangerously weuk. Xhut is why Rommel is holding off until he knows WHERE to hit. ON this point, there's an oddly Interesting note in the dis patches. John Moroso, an AP corres pondent, cables from London that in spite of all the talk of huge ness the invasion attack in Its Initial phases Is NO LARGER than the attack on Sicily. If that Is true, we're still HOLDING BACK the bulk of our forces, to be used wherever WE need (or want) them most. There's another Interesting hint In the dispatches of strong allied naval activity In the neighbor hood of the island of Corsica. (From Corsica, we could strike at the MEDITERRANEAN coast of France.) The big invasion battle hasn't yet really begun. IN the invasion, our first Job Is to GET ASHORE on the enemy's coast. Our next job Is to hung onto our toehold and . land sufficient reinforcements and supplies ON TI IE UEACII. Our third job Is to capture a port because port facilities are need ed to get In reinforcements and supplies in sufficient volume quickly enough. It looks us this Is written as if we may pe aiming al the port ot Cherbourg. We've cut the Cher-bourg-I'urls railroad at liaycux and seem to be thrusting south west from there. It's u fair guess that our purpose Is to PINCH OFF the .Cherbourg peninsula with its highly desirable port facilities. UfHY didn't we attack Cher ft bourg and Le Harve first? The answer Is that (here is where the enemy was strongest. THE Germans report that the Russians have launclied an of fensive on H BROAD FRONT In Romania. The German broadcast says "heavy lighting" Is in prog ress there. The Russians make to mention ot It, but tlvy usually delay their announcements un til their offensives are well un der way. Watch It. Whatever develops on the Russian front now is Im mensely important. THE Germans are retreating rapidly north of Rome There is considerable evidence of de- THE THREAT By Charles Roseburg health and police authorities report an attack by a cat, a family pet, afflicted with rabies, upon a four year old boy. Rabies is a dread disease, yet one which is easily controlled if public cooperation .is obtained. It is a disease quite prevalent among animals in south ern states, and is believed to have been brought into Douglas county by a pet dog which has accompanied some family moving in from the South. Sufficient time has not elapsed to trace the source nor to determine how widely the disease lias been spread. As a result of this condition, every dog must be placed under suspicion until danger of further spread has passed. Cats can be infected if bitten by a dog suffering from rabies, the circumstance which led to the discovery of the disease in Roseburg. There is one rule which MUST be immediately enforced. Dogs must not be permitted to run at large. City author ities should take steps without delay to arrest any person who does not keep his dog penned up and any stray animal should be impounded at once. Heavy fines should be imposed upon owners who violate this cardinal rule of safety during the period of the emergency. If everyone would cooperate voluntarily, the disease could be stamped out definitely within a month. The disease develops in a bitten dog within a period of two weeks. Thus, if every animal could be kept in restraint and free from any possible source of infection for a period of four weeks there would be no further danger. The great majority of dog owners doubtless will coop erate, for they value their own pets, but we may be sure that some will not take the matter seriously, and for that reason we urge strict enforcement and severe penalties. Some people might be inclined to kill their dogs at once, particularly in the case of any illness. This, however, is not recommended by the state board of health. Health or police authorities, or a veterinarian should be notified in any case of doubt. It is not necessary to sacrifice a good dog when there is a possibility that few will actually con tract the disease. It is, however, wiae precaution to keep all dogs penned away from contact with other animals. If the dog shows any signs of illness or a change in disposition, he should be chained (not tied with rope) and shoXild be attended only by mature and responsible persons. Children should be kept away. In the event it becomes necessary to destroy the animal, it should be killed by shooting through the body rather than the head. The head should be preserved intact and immediately turned over to to the state board of health for examination, as it is only by locating affected animals that sources and contacts of Ijho disease may bo traced. There is no need for alarm and there is little danger of any material spread of the disease if prompt and effec tive control measures are used. The control, to be effective, demands total cooperation on the part of dog owners, and strict enforcement by the police in the event of any failure to comply with the safety precautions. morullzatlon among their troops there. As many ns FORTY dif ferent formations are reported as represented In the German prisoners taken. Breaking up of military units la a retrcut is a pretty sure sign ot bad trouble. L ETS not forget the Pacific. MacArthur's men take Mok- mcr airfield on Biak Island. They OUTFLANKED the ridge where the Japs hud held up our advance for more than a week. The news from China remains bad. The Japs seem to have a stranglehold on Changsha, In their advance toward Canton. ETl'ING back to the Invasion, which unavoidably holds our attention right now to the ex clusion ot almost everything else, Churchill warns the house of commons to guard ugalnst over- optimism and against "the kleu that these things are going to be settled In a rush." Stlmson, U. S. secretary of war, joins Chur chill In warning against over- confidence at this early stage ot the Invastong fighting. We simply must remember that the enterprise we've embark ed on Is the greatest of Us kind since history began. It won't be over In a week. It won't even be well started In a week. We mustn't Jump to ANY conclusions now. It's too soon. 'The best we can say Is that a good slurt has been made. A century and quarter ago Na poleon sat on these channel shores with n great invasion fleet and mutteivd in his beard for months about what he was going to do to the wicked English. hut lie never got his nerve up to the point of trying -and Na poleon loved bold enterprises. A few days less than four years ago, Hitler was doing the same thing, He, too, failed to get his nerve up to the point of Irving it. We're TRYING IT and seem to huve made an auspicious start. Thai's all we're justified In say ing al this moment. Shops and Visits Mrs. A. J. Slandlcy ot Glide spent Friday In Roseburg shopping and visiting. OF RABIES V.

June 10--(AP The district OPA announced to day that the Allen Fruit company of Salem has paid the govern ment $.1!)8.37 in settlement of a treble damage claim coveting overcharges on canned prunes, sold to wholesalers. OPA Sues Lumber Co.

BeaversAngelenos Stage Hectic Game That Ends in Tie (By the Associated Press) , Portland baseball fans saw a lot of baseball last night and early this morning thirteen in nings, 100 batters at the plate, fourteen runs, 31 basehlts off six pitchers and one error but all for nothing. ' The Same ended In a tie Portland 7 and Los Angeles 7 called because of a loop time limit and will not count in Pacific coast league standings until play ed out at a later date. San Francisco gained a half game on league leading Portland und jumped into second place beating Sacramento 3 to 2. Seattle slumped to third place, losing to Oakland, 2 to 1, and Hol lywood won its first game in four starts from San Diego, 6 to 5. A 10th inning riot saw Portland Manager Owen run out of the game for the first time in 15 years of baseball. Fernandez also was sent to the bench. The argument started when Umpire Ford first called Short stop O'Neil out at the plate, ac cording to the Portland players' claim, for interference with a throw from Fernandez, Los An geles catcher, to catch Shone stealing third, and then changed it Into a swung third strike. Fer nandez and O'Neil came to blows. The Angels got a four-run lead, only to have the Beavers tie it In a five-run outburst In the fifth. Portland added two more runs, one on Barton's homer in the sev enth, but in the eighth, with the bases full and no one out, Nor bcrt cleaned them with a double for the Angels and a 7-7 tie, where it stayed to the finish.
