He is quoted in a dis patch as "confused as to why Ihe Japs are not more aggressive." He notes "total lack" of fight by the Jap air force. He adds: "These people are definitely on the run." Admiral Nimilz agrees thai the Japs have no room for optimism, lull points out thai we have a lot of hard fighting ahead tougher and more compact Jap defenses as we advance, the bulk of the ell trained Jap army and the battered but still xmei(ui Jap fleet still to lie faced. !T does look as if the end ol Germany is near, but we'll be wise if we keep our fingers cross ed as to the Pacific war. By all tlu- rules, the Japs ought to have a lot of right left in them. There Is, however, an int.-ri-sl-injl note in the news.

It sounds good It's hard, howfvpr, to Keep FIRE DISTRICTS NEEDED By Charles Y. Stanton AN attractive little home in Edenbower was badly dam- used by fife Monday. The house had been purchased only a few days prior to the fire and the furniture of the incoming family had not yet been entirely unpacked. Had it not been that the Douglas Forest Protective association fire enifine was immediatplv , , . , , , . have been completely destroyed. A call was sent to the Koseburg fire department, but, be cause of state laws, the city outside the municipal limits except to aid another organized town. The department had available the civilian defense j iiu engine, wnicn couio nave this equipment provides only a tank. As no cistern or other immediately adjacent to the i . , . , aid pumper, provided by the would have been of no aid in There may be circumstances T-unvn k :.. .. 4 Ihere may be circumstances which would excuse the failure of nronertv owners in resi - dential areas immediately adjacent to the city of Roseburg for not forming fire protection districts, but, not knowing of those circumstances, it seems that such failure borders! on criminal negligence, in view of the danger that exists' to life and property. During the past few years there has been very rapid 1 growth in West Roseburg, Edenbower, Miller's Addition s-.nd other sections abutting the city limits. Many fine homes have been constructed. In certain sections, resi dences are as closely crowded as within tho city boundaries. Yet they have absolutely no protection from fire and a blaze1 11 i i L , i t. . . I could easily wipe out whole blocks of homes. It is not diffi- cult to imagine lives being lost and extensive property dam-! age resulting from a fire starting on a day of low humidity I and fanned by a stiff breeze, a combination we frequently I experience in summer and fall months. - I The city of Roseburg is powerless to give aid in such j emergencies. All the fire department could do would be to. stand helplessly at the city crossing the municipal boundaries. The mutual aid pumper would be available, but there are no cisterns from which water could be drawn, no prepared .sumps, no hydrants or other source of supply to serve a 500-gallon-per-minute pumper. Little difficulty would be encountered in forming fire protection districts. Twenty-five per cent of the property owners of a proposed district would sign a petition addressed to the county court asking for such organization. The couiii.v court, wouiu mereupon ceive any remonstrances. If t-.limild bo formed and that a owners approved, an election ficers. These officers would install protection facilities. The districts could either pro vide their own fire departments and equipment, or could contract with the city of Roseburg, paying a proportionate share for necessary engines, supplies and maintenance.

"We have conducted a successful war" from small be ginnings. He admonished the as sembled correspondents: "Do not fear about the1 future. The same proven direction will work until our objective, japan, nas been plainly isolated, Further commenting on the amicable relations existing be tween him and the president, the Prime Minister said: "We are not limited. We talk over every as pect of the situation. In fact, we get along so well and understand each other so well, that it makes it easier and quicker to reach an ' understanding." In a further dl- reel appeal for the continuance m oince ot Roosevelt the British leader is quoted as saying that even alter tne war nas ended, tne same close relationship between Brllaln and the United States should be continued to conduct world reconstruction and a re surgence of normal living for the minions oi toning peoples of tne earin. 11 is neanening to tne Amen 'can people to reclive Mr. Church. in s assurance of friendly coop eration on the part of the British in tne solution of the lnternation al problems facing the two coun tries. But it is disconcerting to have him attempt to pass jutlg ment and advise the American people on matters of purely do mestic concern. He forgets that the president of the United States is but a spokesman for the people oi tnis country, and that our de cisions must necessarily guide the actions and international attitude of the president. He also over looks the fact that the coming election is in effect a popular referendum on the conduct of the war and the administration of home affairs; that he and his country are also being weighed on ine scales oi puonc opinion. SELF-HELP ON HIGHWAY JOBS (Salem Statesman.) The highway commission has concluded a second or third grand tour oi tne slate and listened lo appeals for highway expendi tures which aggregate some $300 million, ihe reply given by Chair man eanneid was that until cons gress enacted a road appropria tions bill the commission would not know how much money It wouia nave ior spending, it be- Igins to look as thnuph it wnnlri get considerably less than was first proposed and very recently anticipated. The senate roads committee last week cut the total allowances in us bill from $bo0 million a year to sido million lor each of the first three post-war years. It did something else, it raised the ante for the states which had been trying to get the government to spend on a 60-40 basis instead of on the old 50-50. The senate obm- j Highways are essential and are 'an Pfnnnmin aceet Mnrpnunr tho states have plans, prepared so iney can swing into construction as soon as the war is over, which wilt be helpful in providing em ployment. But the states ought not to iook to the federal govern ment for so much pap from the trcasuroy. The states are in far better financial position than the federal government and ought to carry more, not less, of the road building program. If the people are impatient over the delay in roadbuildinng, the answer is in their own hands. They can increase the tax on gas oline and build as they joy-ride. !2??ti ITUDENT Your Years in School are Foundation stones upon which life's success is built and When you can't absorb knowledge without eye dis tress You need Optom etry's sure aid Dr. Dean Bubar I sit ... &y Joe Marsh L106 N.
