Malin offers another strontr artrument for DOING SOMETHING to help the people of the great trading area surrounding Klamath Falls to get in and out of this city by public transportation methods. , Offhand, we think of Malin and Sprague River as nearby good-sized towns without this sen-ice. And most of the other surrounding communities which do have bus service are on reverse schedules, so far as convenience is concerned, and their citizens must stay overnight m Klamath Falls if they come neie io uo ouainess. If better Dublic transportation were provided, the peo pie in these communities would already be saving their tires, making them last lor emergency service during me lpng rubberless period ahead. It looks to us like a job for the Klamath county cham ber of commerce and the civic organizations and individ uals of the communities affected. Navy Seeks Men THE biggest recruiting in navy history is now on, and young men of the Midland Empire are being asked to erive serious consideration to joining up with this vital branch of our armed services, now engaged in major offensive operations in the Pacific. The navy is still taking all of its men on a volunteer basis. One major reason for this is that the navy wants men with initiative, and it is initiative that brings men in' as volunteers. The navy has no desire to go into a selective service program, and will continue as long as possible to rely .upon the volunteer service of courageous Americans. i -! . : Young men who are able-bodied all of them will soon be in the service of their country in some capacity. Those with initiative will want to choose the branch of the service in which they are to be enrolled. Provisions have been made to enable men to go into the navy up to the moment of induction under selective service. ; Physical requirements for enlistment have been low ered so that practically any healthy, normal 'man may get into the navy. In the navy he has a wide choice of jobs which he may do, in that the navy utilizes 49 trades and vocations.' The training received there will provide life-time benefits. - The navy needs men now, and for this reason we call the attention of the young men of our territory to the opportunities it offers. Service Men's Center SOME time ago there was mention in this column of the need for a down-town service men's center in Klam ath Falls. Regardless of distance of this city from army camps, a lot of soldiers seem to be here and these young fellows have expressed a wish there was some place where they could "headquarter" when in town. Well,- the Commandos, as you might expect, have got ten busy. They lined up space in the much ' litigated Murray building, between the dime stores, and are now ready to furnish this establishment as a service men's headquarters. Next job is to get the furniture and other trappings for a pleasant place. The Commandos need a little help on this project, and we are passing the word along, cer tain they will find plenty of it "from the hospitable and generous people of this community. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON. Aug. 18 The Russian situation does not look too bad. It is dangerous. discouraging yet far from disas trous, so far. Events are shaping up to ward a winter battle line in the south, run ning r o u g h ly along the top of t h e Caucasus S m o u n i a i n s, across the vital his would Paul Mallon mean that the reds may keep the richest and best of the oil producing area, south of those mountains, out of nazi hands for another winter. If they can hold the Baku area, where more than 90 per cent of all Russian oil has been produced, they will not consider this a very unsuccessful cam paign, when measured against their advance hopes. 11. I 4 FIELD "DESTROYED" Hitler has seized the Maikop fields, and no doubt soon will get Grozny, on the northern side of the mountain range. The reds have announced that the Maikop wells have been "de stroyed," which only means that it will probably take Hitler six months to restore the produc tion system and get oil from them. No doubt the reds will simi larly "destroy" the Grozny pro ducing area now at Hitler s reaching finger-tips. If they can hold the excellent natural barrier of the protecting Baku mountains, it may not do them much good, as far as sup plying their own oil needs, but they will at least keep this vital prize from the nazis. Their home supply has been estimated sufficient to carry them through the winter. The Black sea will be lost to them but they have some ship ping in the Caspian, which will enable them to communicate with the main front. It would be too dangerous a route, and cannot be freely used, but we can get some supplies and planes in to them through Iran. Fur thermore, there is at least one arms factory behind that line, The most decisive action on this front therefore is yet to be determined, and the Russian cause is not without hope. The army of the southern Comman der Timoshenko, is still intact has merely been retreating, and not attempting to make a major stand north of the mountains. and therefore should be able to do this job which is cut out for it. .

'' The office of war information has announced the ap pointment of Ben E. Titus as director of the news and radio bureau of the OWI for Oregon. For the past three months Titus has been in charge of the information di vision of the Office of Emergency Management. Titus is a practical newsman of long experience, and the in formation from government agencies in this state has im proved' tremendously since he took over. He is a good man for the job.

Snow there generally starts around Labor day. A heavy rainy season, which will Impede mechanical activi ties generally, sets in south of Moscow about the latter part of September and October, and continues In varying degrees un til winter hardens the terrain. On this central front, the Russians are assuming a defen sive position, which they hope to maintain through the winter, along the excellent natural line of the Volga and part of the Don. Hitler has just now started some unexpected offensive thrusts around Voronezh to break this Don line in the cen ter. He may soon go hard after Leningrad and Moscow again, but so far, north of Voronezh neither side has had enough strength to make any apprecia ble dent in the other. The layout of the whole front now is such that the Reds could lose both Leningrad and Moscow and not have to give In if they can hold the Caucasus moun tains and the Volga-Don line. If Hitler fails to get Stalingrad he will no doubt cut southeast ward, along the east bank of the Volga to Astrakhan, but no one expects him to go across the deep, safe line of that mighty river before the snow flies there, also. FOOD PHOBLe'm ' Food may become Stalin's worst enemy this winter, unpre cedented bumper crops have been raised this summer in all unoccupied areas of Russia, but the total volume of the produc tion naturally falls far short of making up the lost of the rich Ukraine fields to the Germans. True also, we cannot hope to get much In to them. Murmansk, off the Arctic ocean is an Ice-free port throughout the winter, but German bombings, and the traf fic jams on the single railroad southward, to Moscow,, have others are usable to any great extent. JAP PLANST Nothing has been reported concerning Japanese intentions in Siberia, since they concentrat ed heavy forces on the Manchu kuo border a month ago. They may strike at any minute, and close that Pacific port, which has not been of great use any way, in view of the long railroad haul from there to the European battlefront. If coming events of the battle during the next few weeks will only bear out these modest hopes, you will find the summer campaign has not really develop ed much beyond what was ex pected and prophesized last spring in this spot, namely, that the nazis would get a lot more terriiory but would not get the Russian armies.
