But there is probably something to be said for win ter as an obstacle to such a blitzkrieg as the allies have conducted so successfully in France. For the corner-stone of such strategy is speed- speed in the air, on the water and on the ground. In all three departments, winter storms, mud and cold will reduce the rapidity and continuity of movement. The defense on the other hand which is static un til a break comes would be under no such handicap. routaat Pally aad freoday aaa yaay If. at Pally and Sunday .aaa moath.. .Tl AU tar ma aaab la advaaca.

Cigarette butts should be care ful about where their smokers throw them. aaa The campaign has progressed to where "partisanship" rears its ugly head, and abounds in the land. About the only hu man activity not shaded more or less with "partisanship" is breathing. Breathing is an auto matic process over which no federal bureau has any control. No red stamp is needed for deep breath. a This year's crop of red cab bage is now available in the marketplaces. In this product of the garden. Mother Nature did her best Job of coloring, not excepting the rainbow, and, the vine maple leaves.

As something to eat, they are something else. a WHAT'S THE BIO IDEAT (Del Norte Triplicate) "NOTICE: A fish (or man) full of life and healthy, may go up a mountain stream, but any debris (fish or man) will come down more swiftly. Please wake upl Ida M. B. S. S8p" House files gnawed savagely all last week, while the heat was on. This type of minor can nibalism, according to the best rural traditions, Is supposed to bring on a much needed rain, as yet not forthcoming. aaa The campaign cavortlngs of Sen. Pepper of Florida, In be half of the Fourth Term, caused Republican scribes of the North west to wrinkle their noses, but not to sneeze. aaa A number of citizens the past week stacked their winter wood in the woodshed, and, perspired freely in the doing, they report. The wood will never make them as warm in its burning as the piling thereof. aaa Editors mention, without viewing with alarm, the lack of war enthusiasm among the peo ple. They cite as a sign, proud parents are not naming their babies after generals and ad mirals, and war heroes. The news does not relnte that twin boys wore named Dwlght Eisen hower Jones and Chester Nlm itz Jones. No baby girl has been christened Georgia Pattun Brown. This gives one pause. One wonders how tilings go with the Nebraska tot, whose parents named her Nira in their enthusiasm for the NRA. of WHAT Hitler is TRYING to do however, and what he will be ABLE to do are two very different matters. The allies are as determined to smash Germany before winter sets in as Hitler is moving heaven and earth to prevent it. The allies moreover have the superior power in the air, on land and on sea to do it. SO it all comes down to the time element. How long is it going to take to bring the Nazis to their knees? If Hitler can hold out for 90 days, probably the war in Europe will go over until spring. If he cant and as we see it all the chances are against it the war over there should end as General Eisenhower predicted, certainly before another New Year's day comes around, probably before November. The War vs. Votes If the war in Europe should end before election day, how will that effect the vote? The answer is. all in favor of the Republicans. In fact there is no doubt, whatever at least, as far ! as this department is concerned that but for the war, Roosevelt's effort to get a fourth term would end in complete defeat. The plain truth is the rank and file of the Ameri can people don't WANT "four more years of Roose velt." They have had enough too much in fact. They are eager for a change and for a rest AN the other hand however, there is a widespread feeling, that as long as Mr. Roosevelt was presi dent when this war started he should have a chance to finish it. And with the war still on, fallacious though this reasoning may be basically, this feeling can't help but mean, thousands hundreds of thou sands of votes. With Germany defeated, and Japan the only ob stacle to the return of longed-for peace, there would nevertheless, be a decided decline In the strength of this sentiment. This decline would mean the transfer of thousands of votes from the Democratic to the Republican column. Whether enough to effect the result we shall have to leave to those experts who know how elections will go before the votes are counted. We don't! Too Much Politics All men have the defects of their virtues and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is no exception. e believe no informed and fair minded person would deny that F. D. R. is the most astute politician ever to occupy the White House. I his has been a great aid to him and a great asset to his party. For when all is said and done, it takes political sense political skill to get elected to pub lic office; and even more to stay there. It is one of the prices we must pay for democracy. Washington, Sept. 13. The Germans have no more than 25 depicted divisions (probably around 300,000 men), bitterly j trying to save their western borderfrom us. This is not enough to m a 1 n t ain a Siegfried line or any other kind of line on the long stretch from the Alps to the sea. If they last three weeks with what they have, they will be doing well. By that time, at least, you should begin to see evidences of col lapse or surrender of the troops in the field, if not of the govern ment. Their retreat from France was rather cleverly conceived, or at least displayed the usual nazi thoroughness in stubborn, con- niving resistance to the inevit- without use of paratroopers or able.

But Cherbourg fell so far behind our fast advance force that most of our supplies had to come in over the beaches. (A little came in by air.) aaa i NAZI suicide squads left behind in Brest and Havre, the two! large ports we wanted most, did ! their work well, not only resist-1 ing us but by demolishing port facilities to make them unusable to us for days after capture. The others, Dieppe, St. Nazarre, Lorient, Ostend, Dunkirk, Calais, Caen, do not amount to much toward supplying our large arm ies. But the Germans held most of them throughout our journey through France and the lowlands. Our seizure of Antwerp prac- this is supposed to be an inv portant military obstacle. Com ing westward, the Germans sim ilarly had forced it with rubber boats. All in all, therefore, the evi dence adds up to a swift con clusion of the war.

Since then they have lost around 450. 000 killed and captured. The official figure was 325,000 cap tured up to a week ago on both the northern and southern French fronts, and the number of their wounded, including those who escaped to Germany, can be safely placed at 250,000 ! to 300,000. Thus they lost more than half their army in France, probably far more than half their combat troops, as 400,000 of their origin al 1,250,000 were administrative or non-combatants.

RUT t0 mUCh f Kd And in the case of President Roosevelt we have no doubt, whatever, that impartial history will re cord, that his highly developed political sense his inclination at all times to consider the political im plications first, and all other considerations there after has been one of his most serious weaknesses, perhaps the most serious.

(Exchange). John Strachan was ordained first Anglican Bishop of Tor onto in 1839. D MaU TltDUM WaO A4fc AT any rate the result of this over-developed politi cal sense is now apparent in the popular reaction to the President's recent war activities. The people have become so accustomed to the President's playing politics that they can't believe there was none in his journey to war zones in the Pacific, and now his conference with Prime Minister Churchill in Quebec. werehtwoIT is this paper's belief that were there no election r children!1 in the off ing President Roosevelt would do very much as he has done, as far as his journeys abroad are concerned. Put you can't make a majority of the American people believe it. With the presidential record politically what it has been for over a decade "Vox Pop" just can't picture F.D.U. doing anything during a campaign, without at least one eye on the votes.
