Six Years More of War?
Without venturing an opinion as to how long the war
against Germany will last, Vice Admiral Frederick J. Home
revealed at Secretary Knox's conference yesterday that the
iavy is planning for the continuance of hostilities against
ijapan for at least six more years, and indicated that it may
Jbe even longer than that before the Nipponese hold on the
?far eastern empire they have seized is broken.
'-'Admiral Home pointed out that we have only begun to
penetrate the outer fringe of the Jap ring of defenses, and
that we still have "tremendous distances to go in the Pacific
and we have to build bases from the ground up as we
advance."
.He also might have said what he implied that the job
of carrying on a six-year war involves a tremendous task
of production of ships, planes, tanks, food, clothing, guns,
ammunition and all of the other supplies and materials
which are required to keep the military machine moving and
fighting.
Even as he was speaking word of the American bombing
of the Jap naval base at Paramushiro, at the northernmost
tip of the Kurile islands, only 1200 miles north of Tokyo,
was coming over the wires news of the type which has
sent American hopes of early victory soaring of late and
has caused a corresponding slackening in the home produc
tion effort. Just because our long-range bombers are now
based almost within flying distance of Japan proper does
not mean that we are going to start destructive bombard
ment of that target tomorrow or next week.
We must, before our armies set foot upon the soil of
Japan, first clear the way for them and establish communica
tion and supply lines across thousands of miles of ocean
dotted with scores of enemy bases, each of which must be
destroyed. To do this will require a navy twice the size
we now have and an air force correspondingly large; muni
tions by the hundreds of shiploads, and construction equip
ment by the millions of tons. All must be ready for delivery
in advance.
-We cannot allow ourselves to be blinded to these facts
and the possibilities they involve by wishful thinking
grounded upon minor victories of a purely local nature. The
war is going well for us right now. But it is going to require
hard and unwavering work to
It is the last battle that decides a war. And that battle
is still a long way off.
The CAP Serves
Looking longingly at the sky
chance of soaring than a kiwi, members of the civil air pat
rol are nevertheless contributing greatly to the war effort
through transfer to active duty by those eligible and the
remainder turning their attention towards recruiting avia
tion cadets and preparing them for the autumn when they
will again have charge oE a 150-hour basic training program
tor air-minded boys and girls in the upper classes of high
school.
Officers of the Salem squadron are meeting weekly dur
ing ,the summer in preparation for the program this fall,
which includes basic instruction by military personnel and
faculty members of Willamette university. Rudiments in
navigation, meteorology and military subjects are offered
with the recipients thus being prepared in event of being
called into service for their country upon reaching 18 years.
No civil patrol member can go on active duty in any branch
until over 18 years, but others, even classed as 4-F, may find
in CAP an outlet to their talents for radio, mechanics, clerical
activities and similar fields.
Now on the threshold of the third year, the Salem squad
ron finds many of its earlier membership commissioned in
the army, navy and marine flying corps; others unable to
meet the requirements for military service are instructors
in other fields, while still others are connected with the CAP
on active duty in many parts of the country.
- More than 100 youngsters and adults enrolled during the
winter, over 80 remaining when it was decided to take a
Summer vacation from strenuous work. Many who drop
ped out during the early spring have written back that the
experience gained here has stood them well when called to
serve their country.
; Now under direct supervision of the war department, the
GAP, well-knowing that as individuals there is little or no
prospect of actually flying themselves, are giving of their
time and efforts to better prepare those who will be in posi
tion to take advantage of the opportunity to train as aviation
cadets and eventually be commissioned flying officers.

Experience Speaks
Contrasted with the sorry showing made by two gun-gang
guards, who a few weeks back permitted a pair of convicts
tjo surprise.'overpower and disarm them and escape, the per
formance of Guard Captain Sol Wordcn and Guard Bert Dun
ham in frustrating the attempted break at the state peniten
tiary Sunday morning speaks volumes for the value of train
ing and experience in the personnel of prison attendants.
Wordcn, who was seriously wounded by knives in the
hands of the prisoners, and Dunham, who shot and killed
one of the captain's attackers, both acted with the courrige
and decision which comes from years of experience in the
handling of desperate, imprisoned men. Both are veterans
thoroughly understanding their responsibilities, and fully
realizing their duly. Captain Worden saw previous service
at the prison and has been there continuously since 1927.
Dunham has been a guard there for more than 13 years.
Both appreciate the need for maintaining discipline in
the institution and for prompt, drastic action in such emer
gencies. It took real courage for Worden to refuse to surrender
the keys to the yard gate when threatened with death. And
it took confidence, a cool head and a steady hand for Dunham
to fire on the convicts while they were wrestling with Wor
den in the yard. It is with the idea of retaining such men
as these that prison officials have been insisting upon the
payment of higher salaries" to guards, who are being con
stantly tempted to leave by higher pay on other wartime
jobs.

Howell Prairie
Pioneers
Bv
E. B. Fletcher
John Kaycs and his sons had
large land holdings on the
prairie, across the road west
from Pratum. They were
known as active politicians, as I
remember, in the democratic
party. The father took great
interest in affairs pertaining to
reconstruction and passing
events after the Civil war. The
children who remained with the
father after the mother's death,
so far as I knew, had no fam
ilies. These were Jack, Tom
and Angeline.
James Kayes and Thomas
Shaw were opposed to each oth
er politically and in office seek
ing. They were, however, sons-in-law.
Mrs. Kaycs and Sarah
Headrick and Mrs. Shaw, as
stated before, was Josephine
Headrick. James Kayes was
several times an unsuccessful
candidate against his brother-in-law.
These were in cam
paigns such as for commission
er, clerk, sheriff and judge.
The James Kayes' farm went
from his possession into the
hands of the Ask family. Of the
three children of James and
Sarah Kaycs I knew only Cas
sius and Elma. In passing
through that section of How
ell Prairie, the names of farms
and mail boxes would indicate
that entire ownership has passed
from the names of .this pioneer
family.

The War Today
By DeWitt Mackenzie
An Interpretative analysis of
war developments by a fam
ous Associated Press war correspondent.
The meeting in northern Italy
between Messrs. Hitler and Mus
solini could have brought little
solace lo the harrassed pair, and
indeed may well have savored
of a not too fond farewell to
partnership in brigandage.
DNB, the official German
news agency, has indicated that
this parley concerned the in
vasion of Sicily and the "des
perate onslaught" of the Rus
sians on the eastern front. That
would seem to be a certainty,
and the issues involved are so
clear that one can almost hear
the conversation:
"I need more help, and need
it quick," says Mussolini, try
ing lo square his wabbly Jaw
and play the strong man. "The
alternative is a separate peace."
"I'm much afraid, Benito,"
replies the fuehrer, "that I can't
provide any additional aid. The
damnable bolshevists have pre
cipitated a crisis by their drive
on Orel. As a matter of fact,
they're on the offensive from
the Arctic to the Black sea.
You'll have to fight your own
battle with what you have."
Both in Trouble
"But, Adolf," quavers the soft
underbelly of Europe, "the only
thing that keeps my people from
revolting against me now and
making peace with the enemy
is their fear of reprisals by you.
My troops are in mutiny in Sici
ly. Without your help I can't
stand off disaster. Surely the
might of Germany hasn't lost
control of the Russian front.
You can spare me something
more."
"I can spare you nothing, my
friend," replies the ace. "Strict
ly off the record my armies in
the east are in a nasty hole.
When we started our belated
drive against Kursk on July 5,
I thought we could smash the
red lines, envelop their great
body of reserves and annihilate
them. With luck I could knock
the bolshevists out. That would
give me a chance to help you
and face the stupid pigs of
Yankees and British who are
destroying my resources by
bombing.
"BUt the unspeakable com
munists stopped us. Then they
! counterattacked, and the coun
terattack' has developed Into a
great offensive. Orel may fall
at any moment."
"But why is Orel so impor
tant, fuehrer?"
"Stupid! It's one of our piv
otal strong points. It's an an
chor at a crucial place in our
line, and an important railway
center as well. My whole front
south of Moscow might have
to be pulled back if we lost
Orel."
Concern Justified
"Supposing, Adolf." whispers
Musso, as he looks over his
shoulder, "the reds should
break your line, and drive you
back through Poland. Suppos
ing the Russian people in the
conquered areas, and the Poles,
should get out of hand and
start to take revenge in blood "
"Stop it, you fat offspring of
a bachelor," screams the all
highest.
"Supposing," insists II Duce,
"the Russians should break
through and make a quick drive
into Germany. What sort of
terms do you think the axis
would get from these reds we've
been trying to wipe out?"
I couldn't hear the answer
to this question and suspect that
somebody closed the window of
the conference room. The reply
would have been interesting.
In any event, the nazl chief's
concern about Orel is justified.
The reds are bombarding this
strategic fortress with heavy
guns from the north, east and
south. A powerful bolshevist
column has driven thirty miles
into the enemy rear and cap
tured the city of Illinskoye.
Thus the Russians threaten
Orel with complete encircle
ment, together with the forces
of Field Marshal Gucnther von
Kluge. There are the makings
of disaster in the situation.
Today we hear that the Rus
sians have extended their of
fensive southward clear to the
Black sea. Hitler's whole right
flank is in danger a position of
the utmost anxiety to him, In
view of he allied threat of In
vasion through the Balkans
against the area behind this
right flank.
