Our advance there seems tem porarily checked whether by the German counter-attacks or to wait for supplies and reinforce ments to catch up not being made clear in tho dispatches. . . TO date, we have conquered more than HALF of pre-war German territory 101,000 square miles altogether, leaving the nazls only 84,000 square miles. We and the British have taken- 63,000 square miles and the Russians 1 38,000. ' ;. ' . :.. THE German air force appears to have been KNOCKED OUT. Our; airmen on Monduy de stroyed a total of 1116 enemy , planes in the air and on the ground, bringing to 3699 the. num ber of nazi planes finished off m : the first 16 days of April. The Germans are said to have gone into the final phase of the war with i a pretty fair reserve of planes, but when the critical mo . ment came they HAD NO GAS LEFT to get them into the air. ' GENERA L EISENHOWER modifies again his V-E ' day prediction asserting that the end of the fighting In Europe will not bo proclaimed until the LAST POCKET of nazi resistance has been' wiped out. This may mean ; that there will be no V-E day proclamation until Hitler and his . crew of fanatical nazls have bevn looted out of their hideout In the '. southern mountains. (They are reported to be gathering there in increasing numbers 1 It may take months to burn and blast them out of their holes. ' WE must remember that then are probably millions of men I under, arms Id Germany. There are perhaps a half million Gorman . soldiers outside Ger many. There are supposed to be 300,000 In Italy, 100,000 in Hol land and goodness knows how many in Norway. There are 120,000 in BOIt " 13EAUX alone, and some 60,000 In nther ports In Franco. In the lluropcan fighting we havo been following MucArthur's strategy Cf by-passing and leaving. . IT must be kept always In mind that this time we are facing something new In modern war fare. '..' Hitherto nations have sur rendered their armies when they lire- hopelessly beaten. Tills time, both in Germany and Japan, it la war to the death. This Is no chess garni. It is war for keeps. Whipping the nazls is much like breaking up the Millingcr gang i of. murderers and cut throats, but on a millionrold hig her scale. ' . .

By Charles V.-Stanton " - It is hard to believe 'Wat 'Ernie Pyle is dead; that G. I. Joe's spokesman' will speak no :mofe. ' A nation mourning the death of a great president has cause for fresh grief in the death of the sturdy' little man who was much more than a news reporter. 'i '' ' " ' ' Ernie Pyle reported the war as no other man has ever done;' His reporting was1 factual, but it was not a chronicle of the heroics of war; He told, rather, of the mud, stench, grime, exhaustion and fear. He told of the daily lives of the men with whom he served. His columns were letters from the front to the millions of fathers and mothers at home. And beyond the call of duty as a news reporter he was a close personal friend to G. I. Joe with whom he lived. When he returned home from Europe, exhausted in mind and body, he bulged with hundreds of personal mes sages from fighting men abroad to their loved ones at home. Pyle hated war. He was sick of death, emotionally ex hausted by the terrible scenes he had witnessed. "He asked to be recalled from Europe because he had reached the limit of mental and emotional endurance. '' " 'V '"' '" But he could not find rest at home. He was the true re porter unable to enjoy the comforts of civiliari life while the fighting men he so dearly loved were in need of 'his marvelous talent.' And so he headed west. He knew full well the danger of his mission. Ho spoke of the dread with which he again faced scenes of combat and death.' "Yet, as the soldier charges forward with courage greater than the fear gnawing at his vitals, so Ernie Pyle'Went back 'to war. 1 Ernie Pyle, as a true reporter, never sought fame nor glory for himself, yet he became one of the' most famous war correspondents of all time. Self-effacing, modest, kind, he became world renowned because he sensed the need for a link between home and the battlefront. " He wrote simply. He did not attempt to garnish 'his messages with fancy literary style. Instead, by a superb power of descrip tion and understanding of human emotion, he was able to portray the small incidents and events which, melded to gether, furnish the picture of war. '' He left reporting of strategy, of movements of armies, of important victories and epochal achievement to others. He cast his lot with the combat soldier as an individual. He told little personal incidents.' He described his associa tions, mentioned by name the men with whom he came in contact,' told stories of their feats, their hardships, their loves and their hates. He told of humorous experiences, of acts of heroisni, of wounds and "suffering, of death. His words flashed motion pictures upon a mental screen. : Comparatively few people knew Ernie Pyle in person, yet he was' dearly loved by millions. ' Hb' has joined ranks with many other of the reporters who have gone before. The list is "long men who had achieved fame for their writings; men who Were climbing Ihe ladder;! men who went to their deaths courageously in performance of their duty in reporting the news. No branch of military service has a greater proportionate casualty rate than the press. Our war correspondents have been true to newspaper tradition. They have never shirked dangef when news was to be had. They have faithfully performed their assignments, and many have paid with their lives or have suffered disabling wounds. So to the service flag of the press we must tenderly affix another gold star a great shining star for Ernie Pyle. " : DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS Consciously or unconsciously, each of us magnifies something und the .thing we magnify re veals our. character. One mag niUcs self, another enlarges on his prejudices, while another exalts his possessions. Each per son v. ho does this lives below the high standard of a true Christian. Paul found mnny things In which he might glory, hut he declared to the Philip plan Church that whatever else happened, he would magnify Christ. To magnify Christ i3 the - high privilege of every Christian. For us to magnify Christ today means to show others something of His holy nut lire, which they may not be hold except for our faithful ness, it mc-ins to bring Him closer to suffering humanity. As we magnify Christ, we make It possible lor our friends to known, understand and appre ciate Him more fully. To mag nify Christ may demand sacri fice, it may require readust ments in. our manner of living, but it is well worth the cost. When we magnify Christ, we most fully live. Can we say with value, "For mo to live is Christ?" Amen. captured 391. dent Truman announces that then will be no luting of the racing ban, the midnight curfew or the "brownout" (moaning cut ting down big city street light ing to save current .

H. F. Philloppe, assistant secretary of state, was in Reedsport Tuesday to select and instruct enumera tors. The work is being done un der provisions of a law passed at the last session of the legisla ture, which provided that cities might secure a census through the secretary of stale in order that they might more equitably share in distribution of state funds. Mrs. Angie Lloyd, who conduct ed the federal census in 1940, will be in charge of the enumerators and will be assisted by Mrs. Vera Rydell, Mrs. Maude Wright, Mrs. Yaquina MeClay and Mrs. Lil lian Keith. The count is to be com pleted within four days. Each enumerator has been assigned a definite district and only bona fide residents at the time of the enumeration are to be countod. The last federal census gave Reedsport a population of 1121, but there has been a substantial growth and it is believed the new census will show a much greater number of residents, which, If proven, will entitle Keedslxnt to a larger share of state funds dis trihuted on a per capita basis.
