Marseille, Is a historic route for
Invading France from the south.
The air attack In Norway could
be a diversion to fool the Ger
mans. ALL this, please remember, is
the purest kind of guesswqrk.
But the time is here to hit the
Germans at every possible point.'
We have large forces available.
Some such thing could be.
WE'VE CROSSED THE LOIRE
somewhere between
Nantes and Angers, apparently
and are heading Into southern
France. Bordeaux Is our logical
objective. The Germans pulled
out of the coast below Bordeaux
the other day, presumably be
cause they were needed else
where. fOH whatever it may mean,
Churchill, U. S. Assistant
Secretary of War Patterson and
General Somervell, head of Amer
ican supply services, are in
ITALY.
IT is rather generally believed
that an American blitz spear
head is pushing north hum Le
Mans to GET BEHIND the Ger
mans massed in the Caen area.
Instead of getting out, dis
patches from our headquarters In
France report that Marshal von
Kluge (German commander in
France) Is reported "recklessly
throwing the bulk of his west
wall forces Into the area below
Caen, despite the development of
un allied encirclement threat."
German prisoners taken there
say thejl have orders to withdraw
ONLY on authorization from Hit
ler's headquarters.
OVER and over again in Russia
Hitler has ordvred his troops
to stand and die hut GIVE NO
GROUND. Over and over, they
have stood and died. They're
standing and dying in the Baltic
states now. Her fuehrer is appar
ently ordering them to stand and
die at Caen.
One gels unavoidably the im
pression of a frightened and
shivering little man cowering in
his Bcrchlesgaden hideout while
he Issues frantic orders to his
armies lo stanil and die lo keep
him from being CAUGHT AND
HANGED.
THE Russians are pulling t lie
old one-two punch tactics lof
which they are masters) on the
Germans In East Prussia.
They first aimed a thrust along
East Prussia's Baltic coast. As
soon as nazi forces had been
drawn there to MEET IT, they
hit with TWO ARMIES from the
south, in Poland. German armor,
which had been massed a lung
the Baltic to stop the Russians
there, was shifted FEVERISHLY
to the south to meet the NEW
danger.
EVERY, tennis player knows that
when he can get his opponent
running frantically from one side
of the court to the other, trying
lo meet well-placed shots, he has
him where he WANTS HIM, and
the end Isn't fur off.
It looks like Hitler Is getting tn
,YY E 5T n.Q LCI DAY
"GERMANY WILL
By Charles
"AN the day of her surrender,
V this war."
Such is the startling statement made by Ben Ames Wil
liams, noted novelist and reporter.
Williams says:
Germany wqn World war 1. When the armistice comes,
she will have won this one. Even unconditional surrender
is only a phrase, without real meaning. Not peace treaties
hut the ability to capitalize the fruits of battle, distinguishes
the winner of a war from the Joser.
In Europe before 1939, Germany had the largest cohesive
population; she had the largest industrial plant; she pos
sessed at least half of Europe's total "worth" in people
and plant.
Since 1939, she has increased that proportion. From the
point of view of population, she has killed at least one non-
, German for every German who has been killed; she has
transported hundreds of thousands more; and she has un
doubtedly won among the conquered peoples many converts.
By using to the break-down point the Industries of con
quered countries tributary feeders to Germany's industrial
needs, her industrial predominance in Europe is greater now
than it was before 1939. Only an honest recognition of
this fact can make possible the framing of a peace which
will deprive her of victory.
The nazis already are preparing for another war. They
know they are whipped, but they do not propose to remain
beaten any longer than it takes them to organize another
attempt to conquer the world.
As pointed out by Williams, the Germans are destroying
industrial resources and manpower in conquered nations. Be
cause of her vandalism she will
nation than those about her.
Germany also is preparing
nazi party is determined to
of defeat and national economic disaster. Germony is to be
come the "hoqdlum" nation of the world.
Her youth have been trained
to be beasts. All trace of morality has been eliminated from
their culture. They have no
tions. They have been steeped
trines. They will never be whipped in spirit. Although over
whelmed by superior force, they will retain the belief that
by trickery, sabotage and destructiveness they will be able to
win next time.
Beaten by force of arms, the nazis will go underground.
While their political "front" cooperates in international af
fairs, the hidden forces will be endeavoring to destroy.
We have in allied hands today hundreds of thousands of
German prisoners. The majority of these men are still nazis.
Theyare arrogant, vain, boastful men. They have been cap
tured, but they have not been killed. When the war is over
we will send them back to their homeland to become inter
national hoodlums.
Hitler is even now stamping out the last vestiges of anti
nazi leadership. The Prussian guard which through centuries
has' placed 'military above political prowess is being wiped
cut by internal purge as well as by allied bullets. Postwar
Germany will remain nazi, even though hidden hands control
the reins.
The determination of the peace will be difficult.
There should be no place at the peace table for idealism.
The question, therefore, .irises: Should the United Slates be
represented by a man who knows the criminal mind and who,
as a former prosecuting attorney, knows methods of dealing
with criminals, or by one who is a great humanitarian, a
missionary crusader and an idealistic do-gooder?
It is our nature, as a nation, lo be tolerant and forgiving,
to be helpful and sympathetic. But at the same time we must
be practical. You can't convert swine to the religion of
humanitarianism.
that point now.
SOME significant statistics:
In the -18 hours up to mid
night Thursday, our Americans
in France took more than 10,000
German prisoners. This is begin
ning to look like demoralization.
From ti o'clock Saturday up to
mid -afternoon, allied fighter -bombers
In France destroyed 13
locomotives and 1039 railroad
cms. In the week ending Satur
day, they have destroyed or dam
aged 587 locomotives and Will
railroad cars.
In a war of movement, where
transportation means everything,
that is something.

MINING NEEDS REVIVAL'
(Grants Pass Courier I
The Siskiyou Minerals associa

Granls Pass, is doing a commend
able work in surveying the miner
al resources and developments of
this mining area, and actively
working for a congressional in
quiry with a view to restoring
mining lo its former activity.
Undue restraints have been
placed upon mining and prospect
log. The situation was character
ized as "asi junding" by Senator
Guy Cordon during his recent
visit lo Giants Pass during which
lie conferred with local mining
men and members of I he Slskl
you Minerals association.
The withdrawal of mining
lands from entiy through a nil
li.g of I lie secretary of the inter
ior with respect lo the O. and C.
land grants areas has brought
ahoul the muditions which are
now being investigated with a
view to restoring these lands to
mining, as provided by the fedcr
al l:tws.
An impressive survey form has
been prepared by the Siskivou
Minerals association which will
enable the mining men ol this
area to work quickly and Intelli
gi.nlly with the congressional
healing committee to get the
facts alMut thiir properties ho

It may no some time helore

Senator Cordon expressed the
hope that a congressional njm
mlttee could stage I he hearing In
Grants Pass, center of the mining
industry.
By preparing the inhumation

DIALjPlOG
By SS-2.
Our Susie's gone to the moun
tains, so with your kind permis
sion and tolerance Dial Log will
be taken over by SS-2 for this
week, and we'll try to keep you
"hep" to what's steamin' on the
air waves. A' glance at Tuesday
night's schedule shows that two
of Roseburg's finest musicians
will entertain you for fifteen
minutes each Esther Geddes
plays Music You Remember at
6:30 from the console of the or
gan at the Indian theater and
Annaloris returns after several
month's absence to bring you
more of that swell piano music
when you have a date with her
at 8:15. The Waves show, "Some
thing for the Girls," at 7:45 will
appeal to the masculine listeners,
too, since It stars that favorite
singer, Kate Smith.
Moving . along to Wednesday
now, we think you'll agree that
your radio day is not complete
unless you hear cheery Jack
Berch and The Three Suns at
10:15 and The Wheel at 11. This
This is being written with one of
SS-2's ears bent toward Open
House, a daily feature at 1:15.
It's fifteen minutes of quiet mu
sicthe kind especially appealing
to most of us, and interesting
anecdotes, some sad, some gay.
A good time for a bit of relaxa
tion from your morning's work
and the luncheon dishes, so try
spending it listening to Open
House. Your time won't be was
ted! An excellent army show at
1:30 in the afternoon which is
a regular Wednesday afternoon
program at 1:30 and one we trust
is a "must-listen-to" on your
schedule. Believe we should all be
very thankful for the grand tal
ent we have on these army
shows, it's tops!
Wednesday night is drama
night at 1490, starting at 6:30
with ever-popular First Nighter.
Up to now no advance publicity,
hut believe we'll have it for you
tomorrow so vou'll know what to
anticipate and enjoy. Here's a
bit of interesting info, about
Wally Maher, narrator on Main
Line heard at 8 o'clock: Seems
as if he isn't just an actor read
ing script lines when he says,
"we of the railroad." The "we"
is meant with all sincerity since
besides his part on Main Line
and other radio programs he
works a full-day shift at the rail
road depot in Glendale, Calif.
Bulldog Drummond at 8:30 winds
up the night's drama fare no
title as yet but bet It'll be a
chiller-diller if there ever was
one! But to be doubly sure of
not missing anything, just keep
your ear on 1490 throughout the
dav and night for news and com
mentators, music and drama.

Starving Italians

If striking laborers In the Uni

ing grass to keep from starving
to death, "they could see how
much better off they are!" writes
Corporal Henry Chester Brad
ford, formerly of Roseburg in a
letter to his wife, who resides in
Eugene. Corporal Bradfod is a
son of Mrs. G. E. Davis, who re
sides in the Lane mountain dis
trict, east of Roseburg.
in tne letter, uorporai tsraa
ford asks for pictures of timber
and logging trucks. As the only
Oregon man in nts company ana
as a former loggin truck driver,
he has been telling his comrades
about Oregon's big trees, but has
a hard time convincing tnem
that "such trees grow in God's
country."
A former student in Roseburg
high school, Bradford entered
the service in the sorine of 1942
and went overseas in August of

and Sicily and is now with an
anti-aircraft artillery group in
