IlE and the British are fighting If for more elbow room in the ' Cherbourg peninsula. We've got to have more space to handle the armies and the equipment we're bringing in through .Cherbourg. The Germans there are fight ing to keep us from expanding. r HE weather improves a little, enabling large numbers of our planes to get into the fighting again. still this THE German robots are failing in - England, but much is becoming clear: They're NOT stopping the Iri vasiori, or even checking it. They're making the British MAD DER by the day. Demands .for TOUGHER treatment of the Ger mans (in the peace) are rising menacingly from the British people. " It's at least a fair guess that the robots are Just a propaganda device to buck ' up German morale. HITLER comes out of the silence to make a couple of speeches, which are sketchily reported by the German radio. He says "WE" (Germans won't capitulate, but will fight to the "lat drop of our blood."' What lie means is that HE won't capitu late. . Hitler is a 'cornered Dilllnger who has everything to lose (in cluding his neck) and NOTHING to gain by. capitulating. He's per fectly willing to fight to the last drop of GERMAN blood. ' ANYTHING is better than what HE will get when German surrender comes. T HE Japs were right. We DID attack the Bonins. It was a two-day fight. Pianos from our carriers went in the first day, and the second day our warships moved in with their big guns. We sank or beached three Jap destroyers, sank two other ships and shot down 60 to 80 Jap planes at a cost of nine of ours. By Charl V. Stanton JOHN KOLB and Clyde Wiard were telling us about unique and particularly pleasant experiences they had over the Fourth of July. As we listened we could not help but contrast the pictures they drew with those of a letter wej have jfrpm Lieutenant Allen Cordon, son of U. S. Sena. tor and Mrs. Guy Cordon, and husband of Helen Cordon of Roseburg. How sharp 'is the contrast between the scenes o( peace and war I Kealizing the peaceful scenes we have at home, how essential it becomes that we hasten the day when our boys ( can be brought back from the spots where their eyes fall upon views of desolation and horror. Power to speed their return lies in our hands hands capable of pro ducing the materials of war and writing the checks with which to buy war bonds. John told us about stopping his car to avoid striking a female native pheasant on the North Umpqua road. The hen refused to leave the roadside. As John stepped out of the automobile, the bird ruffled her feathers, stretched out her beak and moved toward him, uttering a peculiar hiss ing sound. , Her action was explainable, for, from the op posite side of the road, came cautious peeps of her curious brood from Which she had been separated by the automobile. "Our first yiew of the beachhead was one I shall never forget," writes Lieutenant Cordon. "Everywhere was silent evidence of the terrific bombing and shelling the place had undergone. As we waited for our transportation, the over powering silence of ruin and destruction closed in on us. We talked in forced light tones to convince each other there was nothing to be apprehensive about. Suddenly there was a terrific swishing whine in the air above us, and then a geyser of water spurted hiufe into the air. The place was being shelled! This was war! , ,,, s,, Clyde Wiard spent the Fourth of July in the coast range, over on the headwaters of Coos river. "If I had only had a camera, Clyde lamented, "I could have had some won derful wildlife pictures. , A bull elk, with a rocking chair spread of horns, grazed nearby. ' Undisturbed by the intrusion of picnickers, he continued to .loiter near the campsite in full view of the members of the party. Allen writes: , . "Vo were all kidding one of the boys who had Just been married before he came overseas. This boy, Roy Martin, was a nice-looking, clean-cut kid, and he took it cheerfully. , His main objective in life, as with all of us over here, was to go. back home. I talked to Roy quite a while that night, and finally went to bed with a 'see you in the morning, Roy.' I didn't realize then how true that parting statement was. On this morning a large number of German aircraft ' pulled a sneak raid. We heard the ack-ack open up on them. As we tore for cover, we heard a Jerry plane peel off and howl over us. Immediately thereaftct- all hell broke loose. There was a terrific roar. My body seemed as though It was going- to explode and I was enveloped in a bright red flash of light. The corner of our foxhole was blown away. "We waited a few moments In case there should be more attacks, then hastened outside to see where the bomb had hit. What a sight! We had left a thick stand of big , trees when we ran to our foxholes. We returned to a BaPlnK hole. Uttered with broken trees, wires, tents, equip ment. Directly on top of our foxhole lay the remnants of a body; a head, part of the torso. The rest was scattered : about the area, and subsequently was picked up and burled. We couldn't Identify him, but a check revealed it . to be Roy yes, Roy Martin, from whom I had parted the night before with 'see you in the morning, Roy.' I saw him, but he didn't see me. Nor would c see his wife again, nor ' the yet unborn baby to have been his." Can you imagine what our boys would give to leave scenes of such horror to gaze upon a mother pheasant belligerently defending her young, or a lordly elk, disdainful of campers? We believe they would be willing to give far more than a simple investment of their idle funds in war bonds. VT BO THIRTY YEARS TOO SOOM JPwll fantry organizations beating the Jap army. As on Saipan.

By ART PERRY (Medford Mail Tribune) Congresswoman Clare BnnUiii Luce by her GOP convention speech drew the small-bore cali bre fire of the. idolatrous section of the New Deal press. One claim ed she was "more cute than con scientious." The congresswoman was a glamorous eye-full, and spoke many r potent mouth-full, In the course of her remarks. The republican press, if it eared to, could mention a lady (elected to nothing), whose elephantine attempts over nearly 12 years to appear "cute and conscientious" have left the deep impression she whs neiiner.
