THERE are vague, censor-colored hints, that we may be able to trap the fleeing Germans BE FORE they reach the Seine. A P Correspondent Roger Greene cubles: "Allied troops In a NEW WIDE ENCIRCLING muneuver are rapidly scaling a new trap on von Kluge's broken 7lh army. A British slafl officer adds: "The trap is closing and Hie circle is being completed." One guesses that Pat ton's tanks have a finger In the building of the trap: PARIS Is almost totally hidden In the mists of censorship. T he German radio says Ameri can tank columns are only 12 miles away. The Paris radio goes silent. The last heard from it Is a guttural voice shouting: "Sic Kommcn!" (they are com ing.) Vichy goes off the air. THE big question Is will the Ger mans make a stand on liie north bank of the Seine? They NEED lo badly! Hut CAN they? If I hey don'l - ! ! !

If you have been somewhat perturbed by a lack of uniformity, please do not be alarmed. On the other hand, prepare yourself for more to come. Some of the alterations might lead certain of our readers to believe the editor is "off the beam." We would like to allege to the contrary but would run into so much contro versy that we will pass the issue, at least temporarily. The facts are that we are much in the same position as a woman buying a new hat. Who ever heard of a woman buy ing a doo-dad, commonly known as a hat, without trying on everything in the shop. We have been engaged recently in experiments on news paper "styling." Some of our experiments have been good, some bad. We're not through yet. Just to let you in on the inside dope, it all started a few weeks ago when Frank Jenkins, editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News and president of the Southern Oregon Publishing company, came to Roseburg and took over the telegraph desk while Louis Reizenstein enjoyed a short vacation. Frank criticized the style of our front-page make-up. We wouldn't for the world let him know that we agreed with some of his critical comments. We argued with all the zeal of a freshrruin debater. Having the run of the news desk, he tried some experiments of his own. We refused to con cede that from his far greater experience in newspaper editing he could teach us anything, but as soon as he was out of town we adopted most wouldn't want him to know Perhaps it was the influence of hou.secleaning at home, or the fact that we have been business office and have had place up, that compelled us to of the newsnaoer. But rcirardless of the source of insnira- tion, the fact remains that we have continued experimenta tion and believe our readers will be interested in some of the results. Of principal interest should content has been considerably increased. Any newspaper subscriber knows that the number of pages is ordinarily determined by the amount of advertising. In these days of newsprint shortages, a newspaper dares not waste precious paper. Consequently pages are kept at a minimum. Ordi narily this means a sacrifice of news space. But as :i re- suit of ehanires made in News ,. ,.i :., o..i. r... ir, Lucu ill cell v,is lug iiwiii tj previously not utilized. As as example, the front page of the News-Review these days seldom carries less than usually has more, as compared with an average of about 20 items previously. As far as we have been able to learn from a study of exchanges, the News-Review today is carrying more news stories on its front page than any other news paper in Oregon. The same condition prevails throughout the balance of the paper, process, we nave uiaue u possible iti crowti mor e item mm; the limited space available. i We have been attempting to obtain greater utilization ol'j paper without sacrificing readability. In other words, we' are trying to crowd more of our product into a smaller space j and at the same time improve the appearance of the package. ; Jt is our plan lo carry the program still further. We have! placed orders for some new type faces and new mechanical equipment which will, we believe, make additional improve-! ments possible. But there is no telling when we will get deliveries. Our purpose at till times is to give our readers and adver-; Users the best possible service. We may at times fail in1 some of our experiments but at least we arc trying fur t he i best results. 1 coutirmeti, report Irom Ankara (Turkey! that an allied loree is LANDING at Durazo. on the Al bunlan coast across the Adrintli from the heel of the Italian boot IILSI-: aie great days History is Ix'ing made whole chapte our eves. al a time, betoic HE Pacilic is still quiet, except for ship sinkings lh.it are ipidly Isolating the .hip home- I land Irom its snatched island empire The Japs and Ihe Germans, in the days when the world seemed theirs, made Ihe SAME mistake They hit off more than they could chow .
