TOKYO radio has been going to town on the big U. S. convoy that Is supposed lo be threading Its way through tin- inter-Island passages from Leyle gulf to Mln doro (all the "news" we have of the convoy comes from tht? Japs; our side naturally hasn't men tioned it). According to Tokyo, the convoy consists of 30 transports protect ed by 20 warships. The Jap radio lias 10 of the transports sunk al ready, along with a PT boat and damage to two of our transports, one of our cruisers and two of our destroyers all at a cost of four Jap planes. Tokyo radio always fights a coud war on the air waves. IT is probable that wu are send ing a convoy lo Mindoro, which is our newest base of operations against Manila, some 150 airline J miles away. Obviously we are i giving the Japs no more intormu tton about it than we can help.

Meanwhile, London announces llial the British are readying two (morel powerful fleets lor action lit the raeiric In 194.").

Stanton IS we begin this year of 1915 the News-Review manage mimi desires-to express its appreciation to its advertisers and readers for their tolerance in the hectic months of the old year. We plead for continued patience in the days that lie ahead, for the task of publishing a newspaper is far from being a "bed of roses" in these times and no immediate re lief from many of our troubles is in sight. We realize that we are not the only business firm ex periencing difficulties resulting from war emergencies, but we feel our readers and advertising patrons are entitled to know just why we are not doing a better job. After all, this newspaper belongs to you. We are fully aware that the News-Review is not as good a newspaper as we could publish under more favorable conditions. We have been forced by circumstances to im poso restrictions which are not to our liking. Some day soon we hop! we can put into effect some of the many im provements we have in mind. Perhaps this year of 1945 may be the year when this in part. During much of 1944 the News-Review was plagued with manpower shortages. Skilled labor was most difficult to obtain and, throughout the entire year, we were almost continuously struggling with vacancies in one or more de partments, But this situation has greatly improved. We are now fully staffed in our mechanical and business de partments. Our news staff is still below our needs, but any additions must be from trained and experienced personnel. Our greatest problem today lies in newsprint shortages. Because- we are limited as to the amount of paper we may use,, we must carefully ration ourselves on this commodity. That is why, occasionally, we the hands of our readers. steadily, despite the fact that fort to add subscribers. No quotas for increased business. below our needs, we have found it necessary to reject re quests for subscriptions to bfc except in case of service men applications from persons, planning to move into Douglas county, who want our paper and it is hard to turn down such requests, but we feel our first duty is to the residents of the county and, consequently, are observing a hard and fast rule. During the past year we waste space, using smaller type in the classified advertising section and in Icgals and other departments. In so doing we1 made available from 15 to 20 per cent more space. At the same time we adopted a policy of editing news items in j brief form, thus giving our readers more news but fewer; long stories. , I When our newsprint quota many1 of the features we have comics, sports, serial stories, We hope soon to be equipped service. We believe so completely in the future of Douglas county that we are investing large sums in new equipment, j We have on order a new typesetting machine which will en- ible us to do a better job for on order a material maker. We are enlarging our engrav ing plant as rapidly as equipment can be obtained. We are sincerely hoping our aging but faithful old press will hang together until new and more modern ones are available. Wo intend to go on in this year of 1915 doing our utmost to give you the best service we can within our limitations. We are extremely grateful to all of you for your courtesy, kindness and tolerance of the past months. We hope you j will give us the benefit of your criticisms during this newi year. And to each of you, the News-Review management,; expresses its hope that 1915 will bring you happiness, good' health and rich blessing. of war that replaces all other kinds. AS an Interesting sidelight, Jap Premier Koiso orders better treatment of Koreans and For mosans as a WAR NECESSITY. Cruelty and force apparently aren't getting as much help out of them as had been hoped, so better treatment is to be tried. AS the monsoon rains end, the war in Burma is rising.

Nobody is likely to challenge that, and in any event the fixing ot blame if any is a matter for the military authorities and hot for observers. Still we may bo ex cused for puzzlement over the phenomenon of a quitter million nazi troops being thrown against our line unexpectedly. Certainly we are left with the broad ques tion of why it is that, quite apart from ihe breakthrough, we Amer icans and other nationalities, so often have underestimated the capabilities and Initiative of the Germans. f The whole world underestimat ed the ability of "shnttered" Ger many to recover quickly after ihe World war. The Anglo-Frenchtal-lies guessed wrong again' at he time of the Munich conference. When I returned jt London alter attending that historic parley, which lighted the fuse for World war two, I tried to toll friends that Hitler was brewing catas trophe, and they said: "Nonsense, my lad. He's just a one-armed paper-hanger." : Slaves of Overlords So it goes. Despite many les sons, the present war has produc ed numerous examples. Along with these there has grown up the curious idea Hint when tin Germans make a brave stand in battle It's "fanaticism" and that actually at heart they have no stomach for fighting and are likely to quit. Perhaps where we go wrong is in forgetting that all Germans placid or otherwise, are particu larly adaptable to regimentation, anil the mainspring ot German militarism and barbarism is the powerful Prussian race of over lords. These junkers of great wealth have for generations made war and leadership their sole bus iness. Savagery Inculcated 'Ihe mui fuehrer has superim posed on this evil structure some thing infinitely worse. He has de prived German youth ot their re ligion and created in litem Ihe spirit of savagery that has result ed in some of the most horrible- atrocities ihe world has know n. He nan mucn tonne sou tor nis seed, because the Prussian is by nature a wholly ruthless and con scienceless killer. So we have no reason lo regard German military skill, leader ship, bravery, or utter brutality with any degree of complacence. Tlicre's never a moment when the German isn't dangerous. He w ill Ix-come more so as wo push oimi his home soil. KRNR Mutual Broadeastlna ytnic 140 Kllocyole , P. a.
