MALCOLM KPLEY Jteaataj editor M1 EPLET Today's Roundup - ' ; Br MALCOLM EPlEY THE principal effect of the Mussolini-Hitler fadeouts, to far as we are concerned, if to out-date a lot of war posters. Jt is true that Hitler and Mussolini personi fied the things we hate ana fight against They made swell poster copy. Those who raised them to power, those who supported them and did their bidding, now are laying the stage for an attempt to escape retribu tion through the simple fact that Hitler and Mussolini have retired to the background. At the outset of .the war, when there was some hope that the German people might overthrow Hitler to escape the tragedies of another war, there was much talk to the effect that those who fought Hitler were not against the German people. The opportunities for world favor embodied In that talk were then rejected by the German people. They went on to fight a bitter, brutal and for a long time triumphant war. They screamed and saluted their leader, sharing his fanatical urge for power. Now, when the worm begins to turn, Musso lini drops out entirely, and Hitler begins a retreat into obscurity, jt becomes increasingly clear the Italians and Germans are preparing the way for a bid for terms. They'll want to escape the cost of utter defeat by getting a negotiated peace. We would like to see the war end at. the earliest moment consistent with complete vic tory for our side. But let's hope it is complete victory, along the lines of the Casablanca un conditional surrender program, and not a half baked affair that plants the seeds for another German bid for world domination and another war. Northern Klamath In August ONE doesn't realize, in these days of re stricted driving, how fine our country is looking this summer. We had occasion this week to drive to Gilchrist, and we found north ern Klamath county greener and more pleasant looking than in any August in our memory. The lateness of spring and summer has done it The ugly, smelly overflow in the Algoma cove, we found, has been replaced by a fine stand of oats, just beginning to turn. What . was once an eye-ore is now one of the prettiest spots on the northern road. The breath-taking view of the Wood River valley from the Sun mountain grade is en hanced by the persistent verdance of the valley floor in this unusual summer. Wild flowers abound on the northern plateau, and a colorful purple flower adorns the rocky dirt walls of the highway cuts. The floor of the pine forest is green and inviting. Gilchrist remains a wonder town in the wilderness. The grounds between the highway and the Little Deschutes are a well-kept park, and the landscaping program has progressed steadily. Klamath county can well be proud of the Gilchrist development a Hospitality WE attended, a highway conference between Bend and Klamath Falls men at Gil christ In arranging the conference. Secretary i Earl C. Reynolds of Klamath Falls. called Frank i Gilchrist and asked him if there was a place : at Gilchrist where the conferees could meet and where they could eat while there for an all-day meeting. With southern hospitality that is obviously second nature with them, Mr. and Mrs. Gilchrist entertained the 11 visitors at lunch at their home, with fresh trout the piece de resistance. The conference was held in the Gilchrist club room at the rear of the large town building. That hospitality and cooperation helped make the meeting a success.

The War Today By DeWITT MicKENZIE a!'-' 1 MALLOW News Behind the News By PAUL MALLOIf WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 The Germans have opened a new front the peace front The officially announced switch from slngle- neaoea Hiuer control to a triumverate of Keitel, Goering and Doenitz has called some attention to it, but seems to hava less direct connection with it than popularly sup posed. ' The German military men had to get the spot-light off Hitler for military and morale reasons. His intuition had lost its magic since he took single control for the Russian drive a year . ago. His name no longer assures popular visions of success in view of the dis asters sine then. Hope had to be radiated by directing army thought toward a new leader ship. Technically, it makes no difference to anyone. The character of the leadership is the name. Keitel and Doenitz are ruthless Germans, and everyone knows what Goering is. Actually, they were all running the show anyway in Hitler's name. But, more insidiously, the dominant German powers have been working toward a separate peace with Russia. They have been planning surreptitiously to give up practically everything in the east, even a large slice of Poland to get a peace on the Russian front This would release a vast additional army to resist us. The Russians will not fall for this connivance. They furnished an indirect answer to the Ger man feelers August 1, when the official party organ, Pravda, gave front page, two column, display to the work of the "free German na tional committee of anti-fascists." This editorial praised the committee formed last July among German refugees in Russia and promised the kind of "democracy" that would be made by them as the soviet objective for post war Ger many. There is always the chance that Russia will stop her. advance at her borders and tell us to finish the job. But even if you do not trust entirely commitments Stalin has made against a separate peace, you must be impressed by the logical impossibility of such natural enemies as nazism and communism existing side by side. Ploy for Limited Defeat THE whole German game of playing for a limited defeat, first with Russia and then with us, la thick with guttural stupidity. As th general staff now recognizes, defeat cannot be avoided. Unconditional surrender immediately would be the best way out Delay forces us to destroy her cities. Con tinued defeats will destroy her whole young manhood. Her tactics, therefore, really decree her utter destruction. If she would throw herself on the mercy of her enemies at once, 85 per cent of her people would be saved from the death and miseries which the current program of the little reign ing group will cause them to meet But as long as life is left in the controlling cliques, to save their skins they can be enecttxi tn play out the already cut string. This situation however, has caused two groups to divide naturally within officialdom here. a Emulate Russians ONE group believes we should emulate' the Russians, encourage committees for free dom, hold out the hope that a completely dif ferent government in Germany would, make us amenable to peace. They want to extend a soft hand. The other group wants rigid, relentless pres. m mo ruiruess promise of destruction and death for continued resistance. This is the only language the nazis understand. Softness they regard as weakness. Our people are generally united on the Roose- vei"n urchin demand for "unconditional sur. render." No criticism of that doctrine has ap peared anywhere in this country. Rather gen erally, people believe the primary mistake of me last war was that we did not end it by complete military occupation, but permitted Germany to take "a limited defeat" The greatest weakness of our position seem to be the weakness of our relations . with Russia. The demand of the hour is for the strongest possible representation in Moscow. a Requires Best Men THE Job to be done there is ope requiring our best man Under State Secretary Sum ner Welles, or someone of that stature. It is , for left-w or a diplomatic diletante. This new diplomatic front is just opening On it, no doubt will come the German winter offensive. The signs so far suggest Just the merest beginnings of action. It is obvious we need to protect our defenses, ""i 0nX wrt "W Berlin radio shifting its spoMlgbt from Hitler or its coming effort to lure our people with false hopes, but in the still open chancellories of the world s nations where the utmost American competence is demanded. WAR KITCHEN DRIED BEANS AND PEAS CAN PINCH-HIT FOR MEAT By GAYNOR MADDOZ Dried beans and n imv. delicious pinch-hitters for meat ana other limited sources of protein. Dr. Henry C. Sherman, chief, bureau of human nutri tion and home economics, says, "When ordinary beans are the sole source of protein, they do not quite measure up to meat, eggs, cheese, or milk. This is because the beans are not so rich in one particular protein building-stone called cystine. "But a little meat or egg, or even bread furnishes what the bean needs in this respect So baked beans with their ortho dox accompaniment of Boston brown bread make an all-rigbt protein dish. Peas are a good protein food, even without apy supplementation." They keep well, too. All they need in a cool, dry place and a tight bag or can to shut out dust, bugs and mice. Cooking Rules The three basic rules for cooking are soak, simmer and season. In general, 2 cups (1 pound) dried beans or peas make 5 to 6 cups when cooked. First pick over the beans or peas and throw out the bad ones. Wash in cold water, twice if necessary, to get out all grit Give dried beans and peas plen ty of time to soak overnight or five or six hours. Soak them in soft water if you can. Hard water toughen the (kin. Old- time cook caught rain water when they couldn't get soft water any other way. i Cook the beans in the water in which they are soaked, to save vitamins and minerals. If the bean flavor seems too strong, you may have to drain them and add fresh water. Keep the heat low as you cook beans and peas, and simmer rather than boil. Watch the pot too. Add water from time to tune. Dried beans and peas take up a lot of water. To add flavor cook beans with salt pork, sau sage, bacon, or a ham bone. TOMORROW'S MENU (Eat the Basic 7 Evtry Day) BREAKFAST: Sliced i peaches, readytc-eat wheat cereal, enriched toast, fort, tied margarine, coffee, milk. LUNCH: Baked bean and vegetable salad, chill sauce dressing, enrictwd hard rolls, For once Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill are going into con ference without employing the customary smoke-screen of se crecy, and as a matter of fact haven't even attempted to con ceal the approach of what is likely to be one of the most momentous meetings of the war. This doesn't mean that the forthcoming parley will be held in the open for all to hear. We are left to figure out for our selves what questions will be de bated at this critical moment Still, the trend of events indicate that there are at least two major problems with which the confer ence will be concerned, and they are these: Major Problems I. The opening up of that much and warmly debated front in western Europe, so as to cap! talize to the full the amazing success of the red offensive. 2. The post-war policy which will bring the best cooperation among the United States, Russia and Britain in particular, and the other allies in general. This contemplates the probability that the Muscovites are likely to emerge from the war as the dom inant power both in Europe and the Orient Speed. Makes Urgency These questions would seem to be urgent because of the unex pected speediness of the allied successes both in Russia and in the Mediterranean theater. Plans which were made at the last meeting of the allied chiefs pre sumably need bringing up to date. From the military standpoint the question would seem to be what we do when we have fin ished with Sicily. There has been considerable talk of a quick invasion of the Italian main land, to take advantage of the patent weakness there. How ever, the more one contemplates the task of invading and subdu ing the peninsula as the next ma jor move, the less attractive it appears a lot of labor for a re turn of doubtful value. The con quest of Italy has lost much of its fire, what with the inflation of Mussolini and the relegation of fascism to the ash-can. Crack Hitler The nut we want to crack is Hitler, and we want to get at him the quickest way pos- sioie. Russians again are ur gently pointing out that the speedy way to smash the fuehrer is to open up that new front in r ranee, - while the red armies have the nazis on the run in the east This would place the Boche between two mighty mill-stones. That a logical move, provid ing the Anglo-American -allies are capable of undertaking what undoubtedly would be one of the greatest and most dangerous operations of the whole war landing in France from England. apple sauce, peanut cookies, tea, milk. DINNER: Black bean soup with sliced lemon, spaghetti and cheese, crisp bacon, broiled tomatoes, mixed vege table salad, enriched bread, butter or fortified margarine, fresh lime gelatin, tea, milk.

Untied anpport. PAUL A. LIE. The consensus of military men all along has been that the only way to defeat Hitler is to anni hilate his armies on the battle field, and this would involve an invasion of Europe through the historic war routes of France, if the war isn't to drag on inter minably. If the allies are to undertake such an invasion it can't long be delayed. The summer is rushing by with its good fighting weath er, and the opportunity present ed by the Russian offensive may slip away with the arrival of autumn. Occupation of the Italian pen insula wouldn't take us appreci ably nearer our main objective. On the contrary, now that the Germans have been able to for tify the line of the Po river across northern Italy, the con quering of the country would take considerable time and in volve heavy fighting.
