FRENCH guerrillas are hover ing on the flanks of the re tiring Germans, cutting railroads and highways, derailing trains, ' blowing up trucks, cutting off isolated German units and doing all the mischief they caii which seems to be considerable. THIS writer makes no predic tions. To make predictions, one needs to know some FACTS -and we outsiders know very lew facts indeed. But It LOOKS as if Hitler Is getting ready to pull clear back Into the borders of Germany for his last-ditch stand. ITour map will show you that he has quite a Job on his hands. If he gets away with it without disaster, he will be good. IN France since D-day, wo and the British have killed eight German generals and captured two more and an admiral. Since they started their offensive on June 23, the Russians have cap tured 27 and killed several more. The Germans themselves AN NOUNCE that they have killed 16 of their own high officers who were suspected of being untl-Hlt-ler. It's a fair guess thai they have killed more than they have an nounced. IF the Germans want to KILL OFF THEIR OWN generals as fast as we and the Russians com bined can kill them, we shouldn't complain. MOSCOW says that "thousands of German soldiers strung out in the vast spaces from Riga to Lake I'eipus lire being driven hack to the Haltie in a BATTLE OF EXTERMINATION." The Moscow tlisapteh adds that three Russian columns are push ing toward Riga "for possibly the biggest kill of the summer cam paign." The Russian high com maud adds: " The enemy's forces are being bled while." AN Istanbul (Turkey) dispaleh says von Pa pen was ARREST ED as soon as he entered Ger many (on his way back trom Turkey!. Apparently Hitler is killing diplomats along Willi generals. TRAGIC news comes fro in China. HENGYANG FALLS to the Japs. The commander of the Chi nese garrison that has held out so long messages Chungking that his troops have been slain al most to the last man. "I am afraid this may be my last mes sage to you," he udds. IT seems probable that the Japs will now be able to close the gap in the railroad that leads from Shanghai and other north ern China ports CLEAR AROUND to Utirmu. With their ships being sunk steadily, they NEED this railroad badly. IN Guam (because they insist on It, and there seems no other ARGENTINE By Chariot 4 RGENTINA'S neutrality is very ttimilur to that of Ire- land, stemming; from intense nationalism arid an unwill ingness to be pushed around, the Rev. John A. Cochran, for seven and one-half years superintendent of missions for the Church of the Nazarene in that country, believes. The mis sionary holds that careless statesmanship and failure on the part of heads of our state department to recognize the spirit of the Argentine government is partly responsible for strained relationships between Argentina and the United States. It is not the first time we pressed. Prominent writers ly have declared their views that our state department has erred in recalling representatives just at the time their ser vices were most needed in countries whose favors we desire, instead of keeping thein on been exhausted. We were greatly interested information, given during our interview with him, but we were more impresesd by the fact that this is a country in which a man can discuss an involved political situation, even voicing criticism of methods used by our government in dealing with neighboring nations. There are few places in the world where such freedom of expression would be permitted. On the other hand, there would be in few nations a popu lation capable of intelligently receiving and weighing in formation on such vital subjects. It is only because the American people have the right of free speech and free press that they are sufficiently informed to be capable of deliber ating such matters. In a large part of the world today people know only what certain leaders want them to know-and no one of contrary opinion is permitted to make his views public. We do not desire to convey the idea that the Kov. Mr. Cochran, who was a speaker at the Koseburg Church of the Nazarene, is using the pulpit to discuss political matters. The statements to which we refer were in response to direct questions in a personal interview and do not concern views expressed in any public meeting. Nor was his criticism as broad, when spoken in relation lo other matters, as it might appear in print. But we have been hearing much concerning Argentina's stand in recent months and her refusal to join other west ern hemisphere nations in direct antagonism to the axis powers. So opinions of a person familiar with the facts are of more than passing interest. The Rev. Mr. Cochran declares that Argentina for years has been exploited by capital from other nations. Her busi-j ness, industry and utilities have been owned and operated i by foreigners. It is only in very recent times that the! Argentine nation has begun to take over development of! its own resources and business. It's trade has been almost entirely with European countries., There had been little at tempt on the part of the United States to cultivate friend ship between the two nations prior to the start of the war. The Germans, however, had been very friendly and the Ja panese have been a courteous, law-abiding, industrious mi nority population. The growing nationalism of the people is expressed in a determination to choose their own path, without interference, rather than through special liking for the axis, the missionary believes. The vast majority of 'the native population, in his opinion, is friendly to the allied cause. The Argentine Is worried about post war markets. Nearly all of its products are in direct competition with those of the United Slates. England has been the leading buyer of Argentina's agricultural products and raw materials, while Germany, Great Britain and the United States have been sellers of machinery and manufactured goods. Had the allied powers given Argentina assurance of a bal anced trade and used tact, diplomacy and friendliness in ! political dealings, there would not be friction between the I nations today, Cochran contends. His opinions may be at I variance with those of many other people, but he sheds an interesting light on a situation of grave importance today. It is doubly interesting that we are privileged to hear mure than one side of any controversial subject. Says Americans Heed Rough Stuff o "Find" Selves FORT LEWIS.

Eala came 2,000 miles aboard the preside:, tial cruiser .to Ha waii but he got only a glimpse ol fabled Wqikiki from the deck. Recently tightened quarantine Idws confining canines were not relaxed even for Fala, and Pres ident Roosevelt asked no special favors lor his five-year-old Scot tie. So Fala lolled aboard, well-behaved and wall-loved by officers and crew. A presidential aide kept a close watch over the Scot tie's welfare with daily telephone calls to the ship. Only incident: A sailor plucked one of Fala's hairs for a souven-. ir. t& Hcwsorotm IN UNIFORM Cloy L. Patterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Patterson of Roseburg, has recently completed training at t ie aviation ordnance school, naval air technical train ing center, Norman, Okla., ac cording to word received from the navy department. Before en listing in the navy in January, l!.'-i4, Patterson was employed by the Young's Bay lumber mill. Upon graduation from school at Norman he received the rate of seaman, first class. He will now be transferred to a naval unit alloat or to another shore sta tion for further instruction and work. BE PREPARED ADA, Okla. Scoutmaster Otis Stockton had a hard time con vincing members of his troop that they should learn how to ad minister artificial respiration. But he's happy he persisted. While on a swimming party, Stockton became exhausted and sank. His scouts pulled him out and brought him back to con sciousness after applying artifi cialrespirai i'm for 20 minutes. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS. mi ww "Goon1 morning, Doc. Your good wife tells me you're working night and day now that so nwny of the younger doc torsare in the army ." " That's right. Judge, and I'm glad I'm still able to do it. Had a long letter from Harry . . . that bright young fellow I was breakin' in to take over my practice. He said the boysjn the service are getting the best medical care of any armed force in our history. They really should with all those brilliant doctors and plenty of supplies to worlc with." "Speaking of supplies, Doc, not many Farm Wage Rules Received by County Agent in Roseburg Copies of an official Interpreta tion of the regulations governing legal rates for farm wages will clear up some questions arising among Douglas county farmers. These have been received by County Agent J. Roland Parker, from the Oregon War Food ad ministration wage board. The statement released by the board explains provisions of the farm wage ceiling set by the gen eral farm wage stabilization reg ulation, special wage ceilings, in dividual adjustments, and pro visions for enforcement of the ceilings. Copies of the statement are available at the county agent's office. The general regulation pro vides that salaries and wages of agricultural laborers may be in creased up to $2400 a year with out approval, unless a specific wage ceiling has been set by the War Food administration. The $2400 per year has been defined by the regulation to mean $200 a month, or the equivalent week ly, hourley (85 cents in most cases), piecework rate, or com-, parable basis. Board and room, houses, or anything else of value must be included in figuring sal aries or wages, the statement ex plains. The same salary or wace rate for the same type of work for me similar period or season made lawfully between Decem ber 9, 1942, and December 9, 1943, may be paid without ap proval even though the compen sation is more than $2400 a year. An employer wno established a new job classification after De cember 9, 1943, may pay the max imum rate paid within the local area for the year preceding De- cemoer , isaj, ior mat joo Clas sification. Applications for individual ad justments for farmers wishing to pay rates in excess of $2400 a year may be made on forms available in the county extension office. The wage stabilization office will investigate cases of non compliance and will enforce com pliance, the statement points out. Speeial wage ceilings may be established by the WFA when ever a majority of the producers of any crop in any given area request the help of .the Oregon Wage board.
