The Original Villain
AMERICANS are awakening to the fact that they are
fighting a ruthless enemy in Japan, an enemy which
will stop at nothing to accomplish victory and knows no
' rules of honor or fair-dealing. The Japanese for years
have been carrying on a diplomatic strategy of lies and
perfidy. It is to be expected they would wage war with
the same lack of principle.
Yet the United States put trust in Japan. Tt was sup
posed that the Japanese would not attack while its suave
diplomats were still in Washington. The Japs attacked.
Some one. rresumablv. believed Japan would not attack
.. Manila if it were declared an open city. The Japs attacked, j
v These incidents should be enough for us. Japan has !
shown the kind of war it wants to fight, and we must
irive it that kind of war.
General Douglas McArthur has asked for retaliatory
measures against Japan for its merciless attack on the
open city of Manila, and he should have that satisfaction,
without punch-pulling.
Japan was the nation that opened the new era of
aggression that brought on a new world war. It was
Japan which showed other predatory powers that in a
world that loved and wanted peace, an aggressor could
get away with a great deal of thievery and murder.
When Americans fight Japan, they are fighting the
original villain of the plot. He should be treated as such,
South Sixth Disappointment
A MAJOR local disappointment of 1941 was the lack
of actual construction of facilities to end the trouble'
some traffic problems on South Sixth street.
The year is at an end, and South Sixth is still the same
old inadequate thoroughfare, carrying an immense volume
oi traftic. Ihe single actual improvement accomplished
m the year was the installation of a traffic signal at South
Sixth and East Mam streets.
There was, however, a good deal of talk, a good deal
of surveying, and considerable work done on rieht-of-way
for possible expansion. The disappointing thing was that
none or this materialized into even a contract-letting
stage, and now conditions Inject a doubtful factor into
all iuture highway work.
It was not that South Sixth was a new problem raised
in the last year. Klamath county chamber of commerce
representatives have been going before the highway com
mission for years on the South Sixth street matter, and
long ago state highway officials publicly recognized the
need for developments to solve the serious traffic problems
existing on this thoroughfare. Had the plan been worked
out and the construction started in accordance with the
recognized need, the job would have been done before
war conditions developed.
It is not denied that South Sixth involved some serious
technical and economic problems. But these obstacles
should have been attacked and eliminated sooner than this.
As we have said, the war situation casts the shadow
of a question mark over future highway work. But pre
sumably, considerable work will be done in the coming
year by the state highway department. It is noted that
construction is going ahead on some of the extensive im
provements at Eugene. Surely South Sixth street deserves
a place high on the list of preferred work ; if it is at all
possible, construction should proceed on the solution of
the local problem in the year 1942.
Latest reports are that the telephone company suc-
j-ccucu ui Keeping Business away irom its door over the
nonaays. it was a new objective in advertising, but ad
vertising came through.
Whistle blowing at the dawn of the new year is being
urgeu againsi, on tne grounds it might be confused with
a blackout signal. We'll have to go back to the old meth
ods of beating tin pans and turning on alarm clocks.

As was expected. Germany
and Italy each declared war yes
terday against the United States.
If there was any surprise at
tached to this Joint action of the
two axis powers, it rested in the
assertion of Hitler In a speech
to the reichstag incident to the
declaration that Germany was
very reluctantly" making war
against this nation. His assertion
that the reich was embarking
upon a course not of its own
making or choosing occasioned
no surprise. In fact the surprise
element would have come in his
failure to charge this countrv
with the responsibility for the
German declaration.
In view of certain verses In
chapter 13 of the Book of Reve
lation in the Bible, Hitler's state
ment that he thanked "Roosevelt
and God" for this opportunity
may occasion considerable won
derment to many Americans.
Chapter 13 of Revelation tells
of the beast which rose out of
the sea, having seven heads and
10 horns and upon his heads
the name of blasphemy. The
chapter goes on to describe the
beast and to relate that all the
world wondered after the beast.
It further tells of the worship of
the beast and of the exclamation
of the worshippers: "Who is like
unto the beast? Who Is able to
make war on him?"
Verse five of this chapter
makes this revelation: "And
there was given unto him a
mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty
and two months." Of this verse
we shall later speak. Other
verses following tell of the now.
er given to this beast Including
the making of war. There follows
also the revelation that another
beast came up out of the earth
and had all of the power of the
first beast and more. This second
beast also had the power to per
form many miracles in the sight
of the beast, saying to tiiose that
dwell on earth that they should
make an image of the beast.
This second beast also had the
power to give life unto the im
age of the beast that it should
speak and cause those who
would not worship the image of
the beast to be killed. The rest
of the chapter relates what this
second beast did, pointing out
that no man might buy or sell
unless he had the mark or the
name of the beast or the number
of his name.
The 18th and the last verse of
the chapter is significant to the
students of the Bible: "Here is
wisdom. Let him that hath un
derstanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is six
Hundred threescore and six."
If one takes the alphabet and
gives the letter A the number
100, the letter B the number 101
and so on through the lnttpr
enaing with z as 129, the 18th
verse of Chapter 13 of Revela
tion assumes form.
There are six letters In Hitler's
name. Listed by number accord
ing to the above chart and the
numbers added, the result is
somewhat startling. Thus H-
107; 1-108; T-119; L-lll; E-104;
and R-117.
THE SUM OF THESE NUM
BERS IS SIX HUNDRED
THREESCORE AND SIX 666.
Now let us turn to Verse 5
which states that the first beast,
which we will assume to be
totalitarianism or nazlism and I
lascism ana the other forms of
imperialism, was given power to
continue for forty and two
months, which Is 3i years.
The present world conflict be
gan September 1, 1939t when
Hitler without warning began
an invasion of Poland. The war
spread taking in England and
France, and sometime thereafter
Japan joined the axis. Russia was
included In the melee and finally
the United States, so that now
we may say that virtually the
whole world Is at war.
Forty-two months from Sep
tember 1, 1939, will be March
I, 1943.
We present these facts based
on tho 13th chapter of Revela
tion not as ii forecast or a pre
diction, but merely that Am
ericans may give them earnest
consideration and interpret
therefrom what they may.
It must be remembered that
St. John, the Divine, was the
author of the Book of Revela
tion. It is generally conceded that
St. John did not make the reve
lation but that God did and that
He gave it to Jesus Christ and
