would have got von Kluge's army
OUT before It was too late in
stead of leaving It to die against
hopelessly great odds.
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 "

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

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.

U.S. Wool Output
LowestSince'36
WASHINGTON, August 16
(APIThe ouanlitv of wool
shorn and to be shorn this year
was- estimated by -the agriculture
department today at 355,129,000
pounds, the smallest figure, since
19JO.
The indicated production is
29,239,000 pounds or about 8 per
cent smaller than last year and
about 4 percent below the 1932-41
ten-year average.
' The reduction is largely the re
sult of a decrease in the number
of sheep shorn, although there
also has been a small decrease In
the average weight per fleece.
The estimated number of sheep
shorn, and to be shorn this year
was put at 45,254,000 head, or
3,319,000 fewer than last year.
