at other points. On the Roer, be
' fdrd Cologne, we're still about
vherc we were when the cyclone
struck. We've been pushed baclt
a little down In Alsace, but not
enough to count much Hi the long
run. We've lost no strategic points
ol prime Importance, and our
supply lines are still Intact.
AFTER ali, the thing that will
end the war Is KILLING
ENOUGH GERMANS. We home
fronters can only glicss, because
losses have been strictly withheld
from us, but it is a fnlr guess that
by taking the Initiative In a gam
ble that failed Von Rundstedt has
lost more men than ho would
hnvd lost if he had stayed on the
defensive.
MEANWHILE the Russians
have gone into action and
there seems little doubt that they
have gone in for blood,
i They are striking eastward to
ward German Silesia, and It re
quires no great stretch of the
ltnnglnatlon to see this particular
Drang of their offensive swinging
a r o u ri d the Czechoslovaklan
mountain barrier Into Austria.
'Silesia Is Germany's second most
important industrial region.
Czechoslovakia Is a beehive of
German slave war industry. So
li, southwest Poland. Austria is
an immensely important center
of German war Industry.
The Russians, you see, are
striking at NERVE CENTERS.
THERE are strong intimations
as this Is written (although
there have been no direct dis
closures) that the reds are start
ing the final push to cut off East
Prussia, If they run true to form,
' tliey will outflank this extended
German bulge by pushing down
the Vistula from Warsaw, rather
. than by direct frontal assault.
YOU may adhere to the BE
WARE OF RUSSIA school of
thought.
.' If so, consider this fact:
5 Russia has announced her in
tention to take all ol eastern Po
land (eastward from the so-called
Curron line), fehc has made this
U accomplished fact by setting
tip a puppet Polish government
at Lublin.
; In return lor the territory thus
fnken, she has promised the Poles
part or perhaps all of East Prus
sia and considerable parts of Ger
man Silesia.
' Tills is the point:
Russia has a sound, definite
reason OF HER OWN for Hiking
East Prussia anil Silesia. Her
reason Is making good her prom
ise to the Poles. The Poland she
proposes Setting up will be a bet
ter barrier for her AGAINST
GERMANY or any- other possi
ble enemy to the west.
Stalin acts realistically accord
nig1 to his oii conception of wht
is best for Russia now and In
the future. He has definite, realls
lie reasons of his own for finish

By Charles V. Stanton
k MOST sensible approach to the problem of placing re
" turning veterans on farms has been taken, we believe,
by the Doiujlad County Agricultural Planning committee,
which places emphasis on the fact that capital and experi
ence are necessary for success in agriculture. Men who left
Douglas county farms will, in general, be able to return to
those farms, the committee believes. But the veteran, in
experienced in agriculture and lacking capital to supply an
income while learning to farm, id not encouraged by the
committee to seek his livelihood from the soil.
Many Douglas county boys now in military services went
from farm homes. These boys can expect to come back and
eventually take over the home place or set up farm enter
prises of their own. They will have been experienced in
production trends and methods peculiar to the county and
may be expected to engage profitably in agricultural pur
suits. But the committee finds that opportunity for other veter
ans is limited, especially as it pertains to those with little
capiti' and those lacking experience in farm production.
We believe it is sound policy for the county committee to
make such declaration. Too many people have the impres
sion that farming is an activity in which airyone can en
gage without money or technical knowledge.
The truth is, however, that successful farming requires
a high degree of skill, involves much study, and a vast
amount of hard work.
A certain period of apprenticeship is required in any
leading trade or profession, but for some peculiar reason
many people seem to have the idea that no previous training
is necessary to make a living from the soil. Some national
leaders are advocating federal aid to place veterans on
farms, without taking into consideration adaptability or
experience.

Wo are not among those who believe Douglas county
has reached its peak in agricultural development. We feel
lliere is a great field here. Livestock can be materially in
creased by proper range and pasture management, but
much technical skill is involved. The poultry industry offers
great opportunities, but there are few quicker ways of go
ing broke than in large-scale poultry ventures unless backed
by knowledge and experience.
Dairying has a great future in Douglas county, but here
again is a field where a man must have had previous train
ing. Douglas county can sustain increased production of
fruits, melons and garden products, but these crops re
quire knowledge of markets as well as the problems of productivity.
Douglas county invites the veteran who desires to en
gage in agriculture. It offers him rich laud and golden
opportunities. But he should not come with illusions that
farming is an industry in which he can engage without hav
ing gained technical knowledge either through agricultural
schools or through a period of apprenticeship, preferably
both.
Cummings wasn't scratched.
