Frenchmen over the border in Spain think the Germans are pulling out of all southwest France. The railroads and highways serving that area run generally from northeast to southwest, and the Germans left In southwest France COUlLD be cut off and trapped by having their com munications cut as the Russians have done so often on the eastern front. BERLIN announces (with an odd note of triumph) the conviction and "just punishment" of eight more officer-conspirators Hgalnst Hitler. That brings the announced total to 16. Every" high German officer the nazis kill is one more WE DON'T HAVE TO KILL. LONG that line, a simply f FASCINATING rumor gets loose In Normandy. A captured German intelligence officer says Himmlcr (gestapo chief) has been assassinated and Goering wounded in a new out break of (he anil-Hitler revolt. Roger Greene, an AP correspond ent, talked to the captured na.l. "I suppose Himmlcr is strong er than Hitler these days?" Greene asked him. "No," the nazi officer answer ed, "H1MMLER IS DEAD. He was ussasslnated. 1 heard It at my headquarters Sunday. All our of ficers are talking about it." THE na.l officer's tale is cor roborated by nine Austi'ians captured by the British. One of them told his captors: "We heard that Rommel was wounded hut was recovering. The BEST news came Sunday when we heard that Himmlcr had been killed and Goering was wounded in the attack on Himmlcr." IWOU'D better keep your fin I I gets crossed for the present. The rumor-believing habit is al most as dangerous as the dope habit. It Is a particularly de moralizing form of wishful think ing.) THE Russians have slowed down in the past week which Isn't sin prising. Since they Juniod off in their big offensive In June, they have gone further and fast er than any army ever went be fore. It would be literally amazing if they didn't have to slow down while their supply catches up with them. But they are showing no signs of weakness. In the Galician oil field In south Poland, which they have Just in vaded, I hey are said to have taken li.OOO oil wells. Every drop of oil I lie Germans lose HURTS. ON the other side of the world, Kolso, the new Jap premier takes to the radio to tell his poo pie that "the time has now come when military operations by our imperial forces on a GRAND AND BOLD SCALE are "ex peclantly awaited." He is feeding the little yellow men the old pepjwr talk, but he MAY 04 falling truth. Thf THE END OF THE WAR By CharUi ANYONE who reads newspapers or listens to radio these, days must be very much in the same frame of mind as the Roseburg: man who was complaining about the wide divergence of opinion among commentators concerning the probable date for ending the war in Europe. One speaker, he said, will predict an early collapse, while another, pre senting equally convincing facts, will insist that Germany will hold out for many months. The combined effect, the critic declared, promotes confusion in the public mind. There is no denying that so-called "experts" are doing a lot of second-guessing in their analyses of the military situa tion. The only people who could make a fairly reasonable prediction of when the war will be brought to conclusion are military officers connected with the high command. We Imagine their timetable would show a fair degree of accu racy, but they are not telling. The military procedure is ment and reserves for at least one year in advance. Our high command, even if victory appeared almost certain within the next few weeks, twelve months ahead. Too to postpone anticipated victory. The only safe attitude for cise the same caution displayed for the best but prepare for Such frame of mind will tion. We will go on buying efforts to all possible cooperation in the war effort. Over- optimism is characteristic with the American people. In relation to the war it can be a source of great danger. There is no good reason why we should not amuse our selves, if it furnishes amusement, by making guesses. We can permit ourselves, if we so victory by a near date, but we must bo prepared to accept disappointment if in error. But in no event should we per mit our efforts to lag. We can hope and pray that victory will soon be forth coming. Late happenings would point to such conclusion. Even Hitler seems to be fighting on our side now. With the frenzy of a cornered madman, he is wrecking, destroying and murdering in sheer insanity of desperation. Many criminals when cornered will barricade themselves and shoot at everything in sight, causing many innocent deaths, before they are finally killed or subdued. Thieves often will destroy their loot when facing capture. Hitler has reached the point in his career where retribu tion looms before him. His criminal psychology now insists that he must plunge all Europe in a blood bath, that liis van dals must loot, pillage and destroy. Even his own people are not spared. His armies are told they must make suicidal stands. He has saved us necessity of executing some of his sadistic generals. He has issued orders to his nazis to slaughter those who might prevent his further reign of terror. 1 We can hope that the earliest possible end to this orgy of madness can be achieved, but we must be prepared to carry on for months to come should unexpected obstacles be en countered. And after Hitler is whipped, we still have the J-aps to defeat. Think of the amount of ammunition it would re quire and the number of days it would take to execute one million men, even if they could be marched in front of ma chine ginis. We must kill several millions of Japs, and we must dig them out of jungles, and burrows and hideouts lie-! fore we can kill them. We still have plenty of work before us, even if Hitler quits tomorrow. So whether experts predict an end of the war in Cermany within the next few weeks or contend it will take many more months to put an end to the nazi insanity, we must realize that more war still lies ahead and there can be no slow-down on the home front. time IS coming when the Japs will have lo DO something brash and bold. They can'! go on re Healing forever and still win.

The dictator has put the al ready war-weary and gloomy German people under a terrific strain of regimentation in his program for total war. Ho has chained them to their galley scats and Is using the lash to make them puil their oars. His armies are .aider the even great ei stress of continual defeats and retreats. Thus while Hitler may be able lo keep the lid on for a time by terrorism and force, morale inev itably will deteriorate to the point where more ai.d more individu als will seek I lie lives of the lead ers responsible for Germany's ca tastrophe. The gallows which this week claimed eight more army officers has only begun its grim work. No wonder the fuehrer's spirits are so low that he's said to be taking a rest cure in his I Alps retreat at Berchtesgaclen. Trial By Fire Coming j The greatest test of Hitler's j ability to hold his people in line is still to be made. lies about to I undergo a trial bv fire in tho 1 great retreats which the German armies must achieve in the west ern and eastern theatres to reach the inner defenses of the reich for their last stand. The next few weeks are going to be among the most crucial of Ihe war. Th:;y will tell us whether the out-maclicd nazi soldiers can endure the bloody grind of firing i and retiring- firing and retiring. Thev will It'll us whether the i German home front can stand tho 1 frightful casualty lists and grow-j inf defeat, In addition to the serf-1 dom Hitler has imposed. j Air Force Chief Peril t The greatest single menace ' handlim over Hitler as he tries to ! extricate his armies probably is the mignly allied air lorce whicn these days loams the skies with j li 1 1 IP challenge.

DAILY DEVOTIONS There are some things that every Christian citizen should do to help win the war and win the peace, to help lay the foundations for a better world. He can avoid saying the things that make for hate, while for bidding to himself a false soft ness that would betray the ef fort for Justice. He can urge that moral standards be recog nized as safeguards and aids without question. He can in sist that the character of a nation's people make the na tion, and that every bad man is essentially a traitor to his country. The function of the church is to increase the Christian spirit in the world, not only in the camps of' war, or to the fables of peace, but to evangelism that places Christ at the center of all life. If we tell "good news," with effect In the current period, where news of slaughter shall be tho big headlines of our daily press. The kingdom of God that we seek tp establish will be a bit nearer, if we heed Him who says the kingdom of jod is within you. That realm of God's grace in the heart lies beyond the grasping of evil forces and bad men.

Stat Pre Comment TURKEY INDUSTRY EYED iNorbest Till key News) The year 1042 was the banner year for turkey producers, in fact it is doubtful If any of us will over again see its like. Feed was reasonable and turkey prices were good, better in fact than wc have ever experienced since the turkey industry got out of its swaddling clothes and was able to walk by itself. Last year was nol so good: all the costs incident to turkey production increased materially and while the OPA al lowed a slight increase in prices, this was not enough to compen sate for the increased cost of pro duction. By i hat we do not mean that turkey growers did not make some money: they did, hut not h- From where ".Vith 57 blue stars on our Serv ice Flag, our town's been mighty excited over the way things are progressing on the Continent "Shnck.,' says Boh New comb happily, 1 knew we were going to lick them Nazis, soon as tho Invasion started." "I knew it before that," says Toc Holllster. "I knew it from the way our boys were getting plong with their British bud tliej in those English camps. They bail a lot of ditlerences to overcome Ix'fore they could work together as a team. And they overcame 'em." - .Vo. &) of a Serkt ing like the previous season. This year our costs, particularly feed and labor, have kept on increas ing and as yet we do not know what the price, on our birds will be. However we can Judge from last year and not anticipate too mucn. With It all the growers have made money. We have produced tremendous crops of birds at a profit and those growers who have been wise have money. Just what the future is going to hold for any of us is a matter of con jecture. We have no doubt about the future prosperity of Amerlr ea, but during the period of read iustment we may face some hard times. There are bound to be re adjustments in labor, in salaries, in every phase of our economic structure. It may well be that tur key folk will have to work on a far narrower margin than has been the custom for the past few years. They can meet this condi tion in several ways, by raising a better product, by cutting costs. The problem of better stock is more of a general nature, appli cable to every grower in the country- So general is this that 11 appiies not alone to turkey erowers but to all livestock pro ducers. The men who have made money in livestock are the men who produce a top product. Par ticularly is this true when times are hard and uncertain. Under price restrictions we have worked with for the past two or three years, quality has not counted too much. As long as a bird would grade prime, even thoueh it was a liner, it would command the same price as a beautifully finished Broad Breast. It was impossible to pay for quality in the way it deserved. But even under such conditions the birds that' made the fastest and most economical gains made the most money. And invariably tnese were tne quality birds. It would seem that right now, when most growers have money, it would pay them to put in foun dation stock of the best that can be obtained. That is the best pos sible insurance for the future. Take a lesson from the cattle men. Right now a good many cat tlemen believe the end of hieh beef prices, while not yet in sight, may De just aruona tne corner and the forward looking opera tors are cleaning up their herds, ft is not that they are all going into the registered business; there is' no call for that, but they are weeding out the off type animals, buying better bulls and in every way building up their herds to produce only top quality beef. What it may take a cattleman a number of years to accomplish, a turkey producer can accomplish in a single season by discarding his own birds, if they are only mediocre, and investing in the best possible stock he can obtain. The price of the best eees and of ordinary good commercial eggs is so near together that this process entails no great financial sacrifice on the part of the grow er. Or if a grower wants to start in a smaller way and see what he is getting, he can invest in breed ing stock. The investment of a few hundred dollars will buy a couple of pens of absolutely tOD notch breeders that in a year or ! two can cnange tne complexion of almost any flock in the coun try. When thinjs eet touch, which we hope will never happen, we may not have tho money to make ' sucn a cnange. COMPLETE SET BLENCOE. Ia. In World war I, Sgt.
