One can't help feeling that Hit ler has killed off too many of his generals. AGAIN, Inescapably, one gets the impression of a frightened little man cowering in his moun tain retreat and ordering his armies to stand and die so that HE won't be caught like a rat In a trap. THE supreme importance of (his battle that is 'roaring to its fateful climax is indicated by the fact that Paris, Europe's most glamorous capital, prize of so many, many ' wars, has been more or less pushed off to one side and forgotten a ripe plum that will fall from its limb if the battle now being fought goes well for us. MEANWHILE, down on the Mediterranean, our planes batter the Riviera coast lor the TH1.RO successive day; For what ever It may mean, it is announc ed that V- S. Navy Secretary Forrestal has been added to the list of brass hats now present in Italy which already Included CHURCHILL. It looks like n hen on clown there. The presumption is that what is hatched will be a binding in southern France. THE news from the west is bad for Ihe Germans. What comes from Russia is no better. Moscow dispatches say the zero hour Is apparently approaching for the red offensive Into East Prussia, now almost surrounded. Russian casualties inflicted on the Germans since June 23 are placed by Moscow at (!0!),52G. The sands in Hitler's hourglass appear to be running out as they finally ran out for Napoleon. IN the Pacific, Davan, in the Philippines, has been bombed lour times In five days. Admiral Nimitz, our navy com mander in Ihe Pacific, tells Ills press conference we're "going to put Ihe heat on the Jap as fast us we can." He adds that the Jap war may be won without actually invading Japan Itself though the Jap homeland will have to bo occu pied to insure a winning peace. He mentions the possibility of U. S. warships bombarding the Jap homeland. He intimates that he may move Ills headquarters to the Marianas. HE discloses to Ihe coi respond ents that 52.303 Japs have Ix-'cn killed In the Gilberts, the Marshall and the Marianas at a cost of 5903 American lives. He adds: "Tills war Is a new experience for the Japanese. We don't know how much they can TAKE be fore they throw in the sponge " NOW back, for a moment, lo the home front : '. Up in Salem, squirrels have been annoying bunion in a riav aajr t WeSTH0Li!DAY ROAD SITUATION SERIOUS By Chariot V. SrantoB PRESENT; conditions indicate there will be little if any log ging in the North TJmpqua area during the late fall and winter months. From 400,000 to 50Q,000 board feet of logs and rough cut lumber are now coming into Roseburg daily on trucks from the Deer Creek, tittle River and North Umpqua districts. But unless immediate steps are taken to construct a roadway suitable for winter travel, hauling will automatically cease, or be sharply curtailed, with fte first heavy rains. The only hope of avoiding this disaster and disaster it would be is an immediate agreement among the principal users to cooperate in a preferred project, which would provide the required roac( surfacing. Indication that federal assistance is not to be forthcoming, unless the token payment previously announced as a requisite is made, js seen in the fact that the project has been divided into twp Parts, making the menf in Roseburg separate from the surfacing of the Rose- burg-Rock preek section of the North Umpqua road. The proposal as outlined calls for the surfacing of the roadway from' Rock Creek to Roseburg with n sufficient weight of gravel and crushed rock to withstand the pound ing of heavily loaded logging trucks. This section of the project would cost in the neighborhood of $225,000. Douglas County would cooperate through an expenditure of around $30,PQ0, The balance, with the exception of $25,000, would be paid by the federal government from funds made available to the Rublic Roads Administration to provide access to raw materials needed in the war effort. It is required, however, that operators also participate by making what is termed a "token, payment," which has been fixed at $25,000. Although the proposal was set up more than a month ago, operators to date have not subscribed the amount specified. Previously included in tjie project, but now made a separate improvement, is the plan of extending Second Ave nue South, that portion of the North Umpqua road lying with in the City of Roseburg, through to the Pacific highway. This is to be a Y connection, the south entrance branching off near the vest line of Fowler street, thence swinging on a curve in front of the Northside apartment building, and connecting through to the Pacific highway at the present entrance to the Roseburg camp ground, necessitating a bridge oyer Deer crock. The north fork would turn into the areaway behind the apartment building to connect with Winchester street. The Pacific highway at both the north and south entrances will be widened. Safety lanes will be established. Logging trucks to and from the north would be required to use the Winchester street route, antl those travelling to and from tho south will use the Deer creek entrance. An agreement has been signed by the City of Roseburg, Douglas County and the State Highway Commission and the Public Roads Administration to proceed with the inter section improvement. , , . . The decision to construct the intersections as separate units, removing them from the over-all proposal, is taken as an indication that road surfacing between Roseburg and Rock Creek will not be undertaken until the token payment is received. The county court has indicated its intention of establish ing very low load limits, which would practically rule all logging trucks off the road. The condition of the road is such that it would automatically close itself after a few heavy rains. It would indeed be a serious matter to have this route closed and logging operations cancelled for a long period of time in view of the current need for lumber in the war effort. It is hoped the affected operators will make a serious at tempt to get together on some satisfactory agreement which will permit tho needed improvement without further, extend ed delay. nursery by dropping nuts on them as they sleep outdoors in their buggies, n the old, now dead, days, souk? kid would have solved the problem promptly by popping the little rascals with a .22. That way is OUT. The manager of the day nur sery complains to Ihe state game commission which sends in a squad of its hired men who trap the squirrels anil ship 'em to Coeur d'Alrnc, Idaho presumab ly to droi other nuts on other babies until trapped again and sent on somewhere else. THE solution of our problems, you see, Is so much MORE COMPLICATED In these modern days than in the older, simpler days. Socialist-Labor Party Seeks Oregon Ballot Spot PORTLAND. Auc. 16 (API - Petitions will be circulated to place the Socialist-Labor party on the Oregon ballot, its 10-yoar-old presidential candidate. Edward A.

Says Oregon Timber Can Help Rubber Program PORTLAND.
