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

soon we hop! we can put into effect some of the many im

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

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

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

War Capability
Savagery of Nazis
Underestimated
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
(Associated Press War Analyst)
Secretary of War Stimson says
It's "too early to pass Judgment
as to wether any person or group
of persons should bo censured in
connection with the German
breakthrough on the western
front."
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.
