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cove, we found, has been replaced by a fine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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
