War Incidents During Invasion of
France Told by Lt. Leland Russell
In Article Shortly Before His Death
Days of strenuous fighting were experienced by Lieutenant
Leland Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Russell, Roseburg, im
mediately prior to his death in France, according to an article writ
ten by him two days before he was killed In action, Sept. 8. Russell
graduate of Roseburg high school and former News-Review school
reporter, was employed as sports
editor on the Boise I Ida.) Stales
man prior to his entry into mili
tary service. He frequently wrote
interesting reports for his paper
of combat action, and one such
letter was written Sept. (, and
was published in the same issue
of The Statesman which reported
his death in action.
He described the movement ol
his outfit to a new location, stal
ing that "the U. S. army can
move a man faster and gel him
fighting on a different from
quicker than any other two out
fits I know of."
French Gratitude Shown
Switched to a new area he
cause the British drive hud sliced
in front of their position, the
unit with which Russell was serv
ing was given a ride through the
Flench countryside.
"I shall never forget that
move," he wrote. "The highways
were lined with French. It was
almost Impossible to drive
through some of the larger towns
and villages. They were choked
with people. Once the trip was
over, my right arm felt as though
I had pitched a double-header
or perhaps I should say I'd start
ed on one.
"If we had taken all the apples,
wine, cognac, etc., that was offer
ed us along the highway, we
would never have reached our
destination.
"Hut all the while we know in !
front of us some place there were
dtig-in Boehe-fanatics who had
refused otters of surrender, who
chose to die for their Fuehrer.
When wounded and hroughl to
an aid station, they miglii
scream. "1 fended my Fuehrer,"
and some disgruntled aid man, ;il
ready overworked, would holler
for ihe na.i lo watch his lip or
he'd bust him one."
Supermen Myth Dispelled
Russell described arrival at tin
front and continues:
"Stubborn I Ionics clung In
Iheir defenses only just so long,
then either fled or surrendered
Supermen? No, quite human ;ii
least when someone else has the
upper hand
"Our particular task was lo
clear an exposed flank while oth
el' units pushed the uais into ;i

The attaek progressed, llien lul

POErS CORNER
A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT
Bring me all your flowers today
Whether white, or pink or red.
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead.
I'd rather have one cheery smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears around my casket
When I bid this world adieu.

One Battle Recounted
Lieut. Russell told of watching
the eaplure of the hill from his
mortar position and Ihe destruc
tion hy the German army of a
good-sized Krench town.
"One incident more than any
tit her has typified the futility of
the German stand here," he
wrote. "Across the river stretched
a beautiful bridge. For flays our
artillerymen longed to paste it,
but orders said no. At night Ihe
Germans used it, we knew but
perhaps we could, too. Many of
us felt the Germans would blow
it up though. On each side of the
river troops pressed closer to the
objective. The bridge would soon

thought ol that, too. One after
noon it was ail oyer. A terrific

"Hut thai helped our side of

ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON,
OUT OUR WAY
Wage Boosts Now
Would be Perilous,
Eric Johnson Says
WASHINGTON. Oe!. 3-iAP.
Erie A. Johnston, president of
the II. S. chamher of commerce,
said yesterday in a statement pro
pared for the War Labor board
that he favors high wages but op
poses lifting existing wage ceil
ins because, he argaed, thai
might lead lo inflatio:i and then
lo deflation.
"After the last war we had in
Nation followed hy deflation," he
said. "We must avoid that mis
take this time."
Johnston appeared as an indus
try spokesman at Ihe board's
hearings on the demands of la
bor for w age increases which
would crack tho "lit lie steel" for
mula, keystone of the nation's
wage stabilization policy.
Johnston said that the war had
brought increased earnings to
both business and labor but it
should not be forgotten "that we
are borrowing against the future,
and that as a nation we will have
to pay in the future."
Would Multiply Problems
In addition to an intlationary
(ianger, Johnston said, an In
crease in basic wage rates now
would multiply postwar problems
for industry.
l-'lrst, he said, higher costs im
mediately would be saddled onto
consumer industries on w.hi-.-h, in
the postwar era, "we must rely
lo increase employment and con
sumer goods."
Secondly, he said, I he w age in
i l eases would be imposed at a
time when poslwar production
iosIs are a complete mystery.
Expressing belief that most
firms will want to increase hour-
iv
wage rates after the war it
they can, Johnston said he would
advocate progressive wage in
creases "as improved methods
permit increased production."..
Johnston reported last night
that the chamber has adopted a
broad social security program
based on a referendum which he
said showed I hat hundreds of
thousands of business men want
social security expanded.
A policy statement added that
"however desirable and necessary
a social security program ma
be. it is no substitute for pro
ductive employment."

PH. CHAKLES A. EDWARDS
I'car stalks the African na
tive from birth onward. He
feels certain that calamity or
death will overtake him if he
fails to observe his tribal cus
toms. In heathen tribes the
mortality of babies is fifty
per cent or more, yet in the
parly days of missionary
woi4c in Africa the native
women, held back by fear,
would not come to the mis
sionary doctor. One woman
after losing four children at
birth, ventured to come to
the mission hospital, and re
turning home with her
healthy child became a real
friend of the mission, loud in
her praises. An African na
tive, acting according to
tribal custom, preferred that
his wife die rather than
have hiT leg amputated., and
set fire to the grass hut in
which she lay . Happily the
neighbors rescued her. Mul
tiplied cases that would have
been hopeless without the
rare of skilled physicians and
nurses, could never have re
covered. Love, manifested
hy Christian missionaries has
driven out Ihe fear of the
natives. Of Ihe many ways
for evangelism, the command
of Christ "lo heal the sick,"
Is one of the most convincing
and productive, and opens
the way to teach the gospel
of salvation for Ihe soul.
Amen.

Tenmile Soldier
Trying Experience
Sergeant Ellis Ward, son of
Mrs. Gertrude Ward and Brother
of Mrs. Alma Coat6, both of Ten
mile, has had his fill of hurri
canes, he writes in a letter to his
mother and sister. Telling of a
storm recently experienced at his
post at Port Jefferson, N. Y., he
writes:
"Our observation tower was
shaking so that we had to aban
don it from 8 p. m. until 4 a. m.
th next day. 'The ocean came
right up in the streets. There was
about 18 inches of water In front
ot our hotel and about four feet
in the kitchen. People were evac
uating homes, trees were falling,
women and kills crying. It was a
spectacle that I never expect to
witness again.
"It started with terrific winds
and rain. During the height of
the storm I was called from the
tower by one of the boys on du
ty, so jumped in the jeep and
drove through the hurricane to
a post about 8 miles away. It was
the most exciting eight miles I
ever drove. A tree fell ahead of
me. I took the hatchet off the
side of the jeep and cut it out and
a tree fell behind me while I was
still cutting on the one ahead. A
live chicken was blown into my
face from the side and fell on the
floor of the jeep and remained
there until I reached town. I
locked it in the guard shack and
we had roast chicken over a fire
the next day.
"When I reached the tower It
was swaying like a flag pole. I
went up and every time a gust of
wind hit I would brace myself
and rang on with both hands to
keep om being blown away."
Sgt. Ward wrote of obtaining
permission to abandon the posts
and returning with his men to
town, where waves were observ
ed washing into the lobby of the
hotel .The men were called to res
cue their vehicles and then start
ed to salvage civilian goods, and
rescuing persons stranded by the
storm, remaining on the job un
til the men were thoroughly ex
hausted. "So that was a hurricane!" he
concludes. "But everything is
quiet and sunny here now."
Sgt. Ward has three brothers
in service. Private Roy Ward
