East of the city's fortress ring, his tanks and infantry move for ward on a 1,5-mjle -front and Jib? advance -'mccliantjsdj patrols , arc reported to have crossed the Ger man border. . , . FAR to the south, up agajnst the Swiss mountain border, the French are only five miles from the fortress of Belfort, which juards the Belfort gup between he Vosges mountains and the Jura Alps. EVERY GERMAN GATE on the west is under attack. IN front line dispatches, we ge growingly detailed reports of Eisenhower's really VAST strength.. It is disclosed, that he, has. a FIGHTING force pf a million and a quarter men, with an equal number in reserve. The German lines are believed ta be held by . less than a half million, spread over a 400-mile front. (Before Jumping to the 'con clusion that with such superiority of numbers on our side It's us good as In the hag, remember that It takes more men to at tack than to defend.) IF you want to help, I'RAY FOR GOOD WEATHER. With rea sonably good weather, we MIGHT be, able to smasli (he Germans with this mighty blow. THERE is still little news from the east, but it looks like the Russians are moving lo outflank Budapest to Hie north. If they succeed, Vienna will be I heir next objective. THEN up the valley of the Danube Into Germany (if all goes well). THERE is a possibly significant little note in the news. Allied "informants" say the Germans are erecting "mysteri ous structures" in the mountains of central Norway, possibly as bases for secret weapons. , That recalls to us the mysteri ous platforms of heavy concrete found by us when we took Cher bourg. They were roughly a block square and 30 to 10 feet in depth. They contained, people who look ed them over said, as much con crete as Bonneville dam. ' Whatever they were Intended for, the nazis must have set a lot of store by them to put that much effort and materials Into foun dations. THESE wliat-ls-its in Cherbourg were taken by us before they could be used. Maybe they're lic ing ivproduced in Norway. OUR .thoughts recur Instantly to the V-weapons (robots and their successors). The robots are persistently pooh-poohed In most of the news reports, but we can't laugh off the damage done to Ixwdon by the buzzbombs. It's quite' possible that the robot menace is one of the rea sons for our mighty thrust 'nt Germany'- western Bales here nt By Charles V, Stanton SPECULATION is still rife concerning the withdrawal of General Stillwell from China.. The fact that such strict censorship has been thrown around the event obviously en courages cogitation. Being pf a naturally suspicious na ture, pur consideration leads us to the belief we have sold out Nationalist China as the price for Russia's expected partici pation in the war against Japan. We base this opinion upon the about-face niade by our propagandists. . . A few months ago we were portraying Chiang Kai-Shek as the saviour pf China. We extolled his able leadership and military genius. Now the American public is being told the generalissimo has bungled military strategy, is incapable of uniting his nation,' and has not been cooperative with the allied powers. China, it nmst be remembered, is divided jnto lvo camps and has been waging civil war at the same time it resisted Japanese occupation. Chiang is leader of the Nationalist forces and has strongly resisted, 'communism. The North Chjna army, a communist organization, has taken little part in the war against Japan, . Returning for the moment to the subject of propaganda, we are reading of the strength of Russia's Siberian army, the Red force which guards the Marichurian border. Re leases from Russia tell of propaganda spread throughout the Soviet, recalling the history of the Russo-Japanese war and the capture of Port Arthur. Speculating on these conditions, we are of the opinion that the allied powers have reached, a bargain with Stalin where by ground action in China is to be taken over by the Rus sians cooperating with China's northern communistic army. Chiang arid his nationalist forces will, if our guess is correct, receive only token support from the allied powers, or, pos sibly, may be ignored entirely if and when the Russians once enter the war against the Japanese. We have seen such a switch in support happen once be fore. In the early part of the war, support from the United States was given Mihailovich, anti-communist Yugoslavian guerrilla leader, but Russia Insisted upon , recognition of Tito's communist forces, against whom Mihailovich con tend!, and the United States complied with Russian de mands. Russia's entrance into the Japanese war. strikinir through Manchuria and joining up with the Chinese northern army to chase the Japs out of China, would be of the greatest military aid to the allied powers fighting in the Pacific. The Jap flank is dangerously exposed to the, Russians, while the U. S. forces would find it extremely difficult to establish and maintain operating bases pn the China coast. The bar gain, upon which we are speculating would greatly speed victory in the Pacific. To speed the day when the Japanese will be completely crushed, the sacrifice of Chiang may be1 fully justified. ..' v." We.. tee liot airing 6ur personal speculation for the pur pose of creating a Red scare. But, omitting political im plications, we are debating the postwar effect of the -suggested alliance, which, if arranged, probably was worked out at the Quebec conference and at the more recent meeting between Churchill and Stalin. England will emerge from this war stronger than ever before. She will retain her great empire and will have domU nation of trade, for her former competitors, Germany, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia and others, have been so com pletely weakened by war that it will take them many years to get back into world trade in serious competition with the British empire. Russia will gain political strength. Greece, the Balkans, probably Italy, France and Norway, will ally" themselves po litically with Russia rather than England. Russia appar ently plans to seize Poland and the Baltic states. If she also takes over political control of China, Russia will dominate Europe and Asia. So far, about the only thing the United States stands to gain out of the war is a huge national debt, an extravagant lend-lease orgy, and hundreds of thousands of casualties. It is time we were indulging in a little realistic thinking along with our great idealism. LETTERS to the Editor SUGGESTS RAILWAY CARS FOR BLOOD DONORS' USE Editor News-Review: . , As a former resident of Rose-burg-I still look on the News-Review as my home town paper, so am writing to make a suggestion of possible interest to your read ers. I have noticed lately that the call for blood donations has be come more urgent and am won dering If some kind of arrange ment could be made to convert a number of railroad sleeping cars or .diners into travelling collec tion units. With (he necessary re frigeration installed to make stor age possible and staffed by com petent Red Cross workers, these cars could be attached to any reg ular train to be sidetracked on a prearranged schedule at (ha nu merous! small centers of popula tion where collection has been impossible previously. Millions of pints of the .best hlood could thus be made avail able. I feel sure that the citizens of smaller communities would be proud to have the opportunity to be ot service to our ngnung Doys.

Meanwhile Interesting hints come from Washington. An of ficial navy report, Just out, says that while our victory over the Japs in tlie naval battles of the Philippines may turn out to be one ot the DECISIVE battles of modern times, it DIDN'T break up the Jap communications with Leyte, where they are still land ing reinforcements and suppliles largely from nearby islands.

They're grandiose little devils, and they may have It in mind to set up a new empire on the Asiatic continent in lieu of the Island empire they are certain to lose sooner or later. THIS question Is an interesting one: How will realistic, all-for-Rus-sla Stalin look upon such a con tinental empire at his EASTERN BORDERS?
