ol the utmost Importance.
It could' hardly be interpreted
as other than an admission that
In the last desperate emergency,
they would prefer to see us and
the British in Berlin first, rather
than the Russians.
BY one of those mental pro
D cesses that can't be justified
by logical argument, this writer
b still puzzled by Churchill's
furious warning to the Germans
In his last speech to the general
effect that It will be bettor for
them to surrender NOW because
the British and the Americans
are likely to prove MODERATE
Victors. It certainly sounded like
a statement that It will go hard
with them If they wait until they
are conquered by the Russians.)
WHAT happens at the Oder as
sumes importance in the
news because we have been led
to believe that this river has been
made Into something of an east
tin RHINE.
Germans and foreign slave la
bor battalions are supposed to
have been busy for months (there
are even intimations that it has
been going on for years) trans
forming the Oder Into a great de
fense line behind which the nazls
will retire in the east as they
have retired behind the Rhine
In the west.
If this is true, and If the Rus
sians should push on across with
comparatively little delay, It
would be revealing. What It
would appear to reveal would be
total lack of German ability to
stop the Russian push.
THE dispatches say the Oder Is
FROZEN. How thick the ice
may be is not stated. It might be
thick enough to bear up under
heavy Russian equipment. In that
event, It would no longer be a
water barrier.
Time, of course, will toll as to
all these things. Our eager minds
tend to run ahead of the news in
an effort to anticipate events.
Tltis fighting in the cast is of
pbviously IMMENSE significance.
THE mystery of Luzon remains
Unsolved.
It, wouldn't be true to say that
the fighting hasn't been heavy.
In the two weeks since the Ling
yen landing, our casualties have
amounted to 3143, Including 657
killed. Jap casualties are esti
mated at 14,000, of which half
have been killed and the mere
handful of 483 taken prisoner.
Some 7,000 are estimated to have
been wounded. One couldn't call
two we'!:n of fighting in which
jioarly 20,000 casualties have been
suffered on both sides any Sun
day school picnic.
SI ill, we are almost to Clark
field, halfway to Manila from
Lingayon, without (apparently)
encountering the Japs in any
greater strength than on Saipan.
What does It mean?
Again time will tell.
HE Wallace appointment as
secrcatry of commerce has
now been chewed over from
every angle. Not much remains
lo be said.
MUCH remains lo be thought.

AN INTERESTING JOB
I ; ; I
By Charles
LME have a letter from a lady subscriber who writes the
" kind of communication we like to receive. Commenting
on our recent statements relative to the necessity of remov
ing some comic strips, serial stories, political commenta
tors and other features to meet newsprint shortages, she
proceeded to tell us what she likes and what she dislikes in a
newspaper.
We are always interested in that kind of information, for,
after all, we are trying to publish a newspaper which will
be generally satisfactory to our subscribers. If we fail, we
will not long continue in business.
Our correspondent wouldn't mind if we tossed out all the
comics. She skips serials and doesn't like sports news, al
though she realizes that many people are interested in sports.
She evidences a serious turn of mind when she asks for
more Washington commentaries, more news of legislative
affairs, and more "serious" reading.
We believe there is only one business in the world which
has a problem equal to that of the newspaper in catering to
individual preferences of its patrons and that is the restau
rant business. Just as every person has individual tastes
in food, so every reader ha3 his or her ideas concerning how
a newspaper should be published and what it should con
tain.
We hear it every day.
news, another wants less. One reader will demand more
detailed war news, while another will hold forth on the the
ory that people don't like to read about the war and we
shouldn't fill our newspapers
the crossword puzzle and irate
want to fight, while others will ask why we're wasting space
with such n foolish thing. And so it goes. Uut we enjoy
every bit of it. 1 We like to know what our subscribers are
thinking. That's what makes the newspaper business so
fascinating.
The newspaper industry has spent millions of dollars in
continuing studies to determine what people read, the fea
tures they most unjoy, their reactions to advertising and all
other subjects entering into the matter of publication. These
studies accurately reveal public reading habits, and news
papers try to give their customers an interesting package.
We do not expect every item to be of interest to every reader.

To Down Kiser,
Coast Champion
Billy '"Bustem" McEuin, the
tough Texan cowboy, will be out
to win over Jack Kiser Saturday
night in the Roseburg armory. If
McEuin can turn the trick he
can probably force Kiser to place
his belt on the block. The popu
lar champion has other ideas,
however, i as ho dislikes to put
up the belt If he can keep his
numerous challengers at bay by
defeating them in non-title skir
mishes. Kiser hasn't defended the
continuing the match until the
referee slopped it. All of which
adds up to a blond and thunder
skirmish for Saturday night..
In the first match, which' Is
also hilled for one hour or two-out-of-three
falls, Ernie Piluso
will tangle with Tarznn Polvin.
I'iluso is tin' fiery Portlander
whom many Roseburg fans will
remember. Polvin has proven
himself a worthy opponent and
this match should be a crowd
pleaser.
I Pans are reminded that the

Owen asks that fans write to him
as to whom they would like to

Of Course Here
For the period Wednesday to
Friday inclusive, R. H. Mercer,

the Rogue river forest, with head
quarters at Medford, has been
conducting a so-called work

J. R. Montgomery of Tiller, Rex

mond lake district, and Fred
Asam, district ranger in charge
of the North Umpqua district,

M. M. Nelson, also staffman in

! The object of the course is to
