which the little yellow men
launched thelr unsuccessful at

days the British have been bom
barding by sea and air the Jap
held Ntcobar Islands, which
screen the Singapore strait from
the west. ,
It may be, you see, that we and
the British are moving against
the Jap SIMULTANEOUSLY
from east and west. The monsoon
rains are about due to end.
rliE news from Europe is
scanty as to detail, but HIGH
ly SIGNIFICANT. . .
The Russians coming from the
Fast appear to be something like
SO miles OVER THE BORDER
INTO EAST PRUSSIA. The Ger
mans describe It as a "grand-scale
breakthrough at all costs," and
say It Is backed by tremendous
force, Including at least 500
tanks.
At the same time the Germans
report a NEW Russian offensive
from the Narew river In Poland,
tdmod at Danzig which, if suc
cessful would cut East Prussia off
entirely from Germany. "
(All these reports come from
the na.is. The Russians are re
maining ominously silent. Their
custom is to fight first and talk
afterward.)
ALSO, the Russians are attack
ing Czechoslovakia over the
Carpathian passes. Czechoslo
vakia is conquered German ter

ED. The great Skoda works have
always been among Europe's
most imoprtant munitions plants.
Czechoslovaklan industry has
been turned wholly to German
uses. Its loss would he a hard
blow.
ON the western front, Aachen
is In our hands. British and
American armies are strlldne
EASTWARD out of the Nijinegen I
salient. In the Schclde pocket, the
German garrison has been re-1

In Holland, is the port we need!
to solve the problem of supplying I
an all-out offensive against nonh-'

crn front there is a note of sup l
pressed excitement suggesting
that something BIG Isn't far off.
We can't forgot that only a few
weeks of fighting weather at the
host are left there. If something
big is in (he wind, it will hap
pen soon.
T
HIS Is the grand strategy that
is suggested by the news:
We and the British will strike
THE COUNTY MANAGER
By Charles
THE second measure wiiich
1 jNov. 7 is a proposed constitutional amendment "autho
rizing change to managerial form of county government."
Many voters will make the mistake of thinking a .favor
able vote would provide a manager for their own county.
Such is not the case. Before a county manager form of
government could be established in any county it would be
necessary for the voters of that county "to pass upon the
specific issue. The proposed amendment would only au
thorize the legislature to sot
manager form C0U.LD be
might want it.
If this amendment is adopted we need not have a county
manager in Douglas county,
stance, should want to change its pattern of government,
the voters in Lane county would have that privilege.
,lhe county manager and commission form would call for
the election by the people of commissioners. The manager
could ue either appointed by
the voters, this .matter to bo
which will, if the measure is
lish proper procedure.
The manager would take over all of the duties for which
wc now elect an assessor, cleric, treasurer, county judge,
etc., and would take over the administrative job as a single
officer supervising all departments.
It is contended by proponents that the commission-manager
system for county governments would be more efficient
and economical than the existing pattern. Whether any
county aaopis the plan, after it is provided, is entirely up
to the voters within each individual county. There is no
infringement upon the right
ment. In fact, the people are given greater latitude in
selecting the type of county business administration they
prefer. As passage of the amendment would result in no
change in county government until the people of the county,
where a change might be proposed, so ordered, we believe
passage of the amendment is justified.
The Key to Prosperity
John C. Watson, president ,of the New York State Coun
cil of Retail Merchants, hits asked the War Production board
to supply newspapers with more paper as soon as possible
after the close of the European conflict. "Both nroductinn
and .distribution will bog down if the merchandise that iai
manufactured is not sold," Watson told the WPB. "It will
not be sold unless the merchant is provided with the oppor
tunity to advertise."'
We never expected we would live to see the day in the
newspaper business when we would be forced to reject re
quests for advertising space and be required to turn away
subscribers. Through long habit we always produce an
'advqrtising sales talk at every possible opportunity. 'Im
agine our embarrassment when, a few days ago, we "sold"
an advertiser a fine display job and theu .discovered we
didn't have space to run his advertisement on the day he
wanted" it.
But the News-Review is confident the American people
will insist upon a future in which free enterprise will be
given opportunity to maintain a high level of prosperity.
We believe it so strongly, we are investing heavily in ma
chinery and equipment which we anticipate will be neces
sary in the new era of business and industrial expansion.
Of course, we cannot get af present all of the equipment
we desire and will not be able to obtain many items, needed
to expand our business, until after the war. But we are1
getting what is now obtainable.
We have installed hundreds of dollars worth of new typo'
faces for use by our display advertisers. We are greatly

preen Guards Win
Contest Awards
Douglas county places two in
winning ranks of the annual
Green Guard activity contest
sponsored by the Keep Oregon
Green association. .
Lila Mac Isom, 14-year-old
Green Guard of Roseburg, and
Donald Wilson, 14, of Tenmile,
were both awarded 5th place
prizes upon submitting their sea
son's fire prevention activity rec
ords and a theme written on their
experiences in the Oregon woods.
Miss Isom has been a prize
winner in this contest for the
past three seasons. She was cited
earlier this year for meritorious
services in the suppression of a
fire. Her squad of Green Guards
has been headed by Ruth Mor
gan, who is now serving with
the Women's army corps.
The interest displayed by these
youngsters is typical of. 20,000
Green Guards who have aided
materially in the public program
to reduce the losses from man
made fires, in our farms, fields
and forests.
The 5th prize awarcs consist of
a choice between So in war sav
ing stamps or a like value in a
Green Guard sweater.
