WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 There Is not the
slightest evidence In the Russian military
situation to suggest she could consider a sep
arata peaceor, indeed, any
thing other than unconditional
surrender.
The fall of Kharkov has
been explained in a very tired
way by the Germans as a
withdrawal "according to
plan." The truth is the city
was the last key to the whole
nazl line of defense.
The city itself is probably
in ruins and of little physical
value, but its acquisition by

MALLON
the Russians opens up a lateral behind-the-lines
railroad from Moscow through Orel and
Kursk to Kharkov, a switching point which
branches out in all directions to the south.
The Russians now no doubt will strike In a
southwestern direction from Kharkov to threat
en the long nazi triangle running along the
Black sea to a tip at Taganrog. The Russians are
in a position to cut off this sector, and the
Caimans, no doubt, will have to evacuate it.
Their policy all along the line lately has
been to put up a strong fight, holding strategic
places as long as possible. But, when faced
with extinction now they no longer fight for
hopeless positions but withdraw to save men.
No nazis have been trapped by the Russians
this year.
No good defensive position now remains for
them east of the Dnieper river. When they
return to that, they will be nearly out of
Russia.
Plenty of time remains before winter for the
Russians to effect this result Fighting around
Kharkov last year continued until December
snows. Russian drives for Bryansk and Smo
lensk may be hampered by weather before
then, but the vital southern front is no where
. near closing.
The eager movement of Russian troops up to
Kharkov showed no sign of weariness in men
or material. While we have no military ob
servers on the Russian front continuously (trips
to the front have been allowed from time to
time during the past eight months), authentic
reports inspire an expectation that there is a
chance that the Russians will Bow pick up
speed. They had to call in some reserves

Most of us, without realizing It
better, are beginning to act as if
about over.
That's bad business. Now is the time to
strain more Intensely than ever for victory. Our
is not lust the fighting men and
the battle fronts. It is also
a great, working America, standing up behind
those fighting units with everything we've got.
Certainly, the end is inevitable. But the end
will come sooner, and thousands of the lives
of our men will be saved, it we give the
struggle our fU punch now. We can't let
partial success turn our heads.

Our Young Gardeners
KLAMATH'S young victory gardeners will
display their prize products at the victory
garden show at Altamont school on Saturday.
This week, the judges are going through the
gardens.
As a feature of the Saturday show. The
Herald and News will present a cash prize
to the Victory Garden king or queen among
the 4-H boys and girls of the county.
This contest supplanted the potato growing
contest last year, when victory gardens became
so Important Many outstanding potato grow
ing records were made by the potato kings of
other years. Young victory gardeners promise
to do equally well In their chosen field.
Klamath's prospects for a great agricultural
future are enhanced by the fine boys and girls
who already are doing big things in garden
ing, crop farming and livestock breeding. Satur
day's show offers opportunity to see some
practical results of one phase of the farm youth
program.
for the final Kharkov action, but that was a
minor matter.
Naturally, the German general staff recog
nizes that unless this speed Is broken by re
sistance in last-stage fights at key points, the
German cause is hopeless. Naturally also, the
nazis would turn to thinking of a separate peace
. either with Britain and the United States on
one hand, or with Russia on the other.
Peace Proposals
AS NO apparent separate peace proposals
have been made to us, it is reasonable to
suppose HiUer has been working on the Rus
sians. Russian acceptance, however, is. un
thinkable because it would mean perpetuation
of the nazi military reeime in most of Enrnne
and really only an armistice before another
aiiacK in a year or iwo By either party.
In view of the military situation, Russia does
not need a breathing spell and cannot afford
to grant one to Germany.
These Moscow diplomatic maneuvers are
quite another thing (recall of Litvinoff, pro
testing about a second front, etc.). The mystical
Russian foreign policy always Is designed pri
marily to keep everyone guessing.
When we drag out our crystal balls and try
to read the meaning of any Moscow move, (in
war now or In peace later), we are not apt
to get the right answer, but are only likely
to confuse ourselves.
Russian Objectives
NEVER forget this:
Stalin never moves In a direct line to
ward objectives. He can drop Litvinoff one
day, pick him up the next, never explaining
either move to his people as our statesmen
must, but only confusing the rest of the world
while he moves in a zigzag line toward what
he alone knows and wants.
Our people have been worried for months
that Russia would make a separate peace, much
more worried than has been publicly admitted.
Such a peace would be disastrous to our current
prospects, might make a war of 8 or 10 years,
or even eventually lose it for us.
They know Stalin is Justly angry at the delay
In the second front, for he has told visiting
statesmen we could well afford to lose a million
men in a futile stab at western Europe, be
cause It would bring full collapse of Germany
on the Russian front. If not elsewhere.
But those who read the crystal ball, seeking
sure answers to mystical Russian diplomacy,
can be sure only of one answer that is what
they are supposed to do, keep on guessing.

Nausea Not Uncommon in
Early Months of Pregnancy
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
During the first three months
of pregnancy, more than one-
half of all women experience
some degree of nausea and vom
iting. This discomfort is usu
ally mild and transient, but oc
casionally it is so severe that vig
orous steps must be taken to pre
vent starvation or the serious
loss of fluids from the body. In
the mildest form, this condition
is characterized by a slight feel
ing of nausea and a sense of re
pugnance for foods. Rarely the
nausea precludes the taking of
any food, and vomiting is so per
sistent that emaciation and se
vere fluid-loss develop. The on
set usually occurs in about the
sixth week of pregnancy, al
though it may take place earlier.
The condition may last only a
few weeks, or persist for three
or four months. ' As a rule, the
symptoms are concluded by the
time the first third of pregnancy
is passed.
There appears to be no rela
tionship between this condition
and the age, race, or number of
pregnancies of the woman. It is
reported to be very rare in
China, where in general the
level of diet and sanitation are
inferior to ours, and the In
cidence of some complicating in
fection is higher.
CAUSES UNKNOWN
The specific cause of nausea
and vomiting of pregnancy is
still unknown. Many theories
as to Its origin have been ad
vanced. One of the oldest of
these claims that the symptoms
have psychic origin, and are a
perverted effort on the part of
the unconscious mind to reject
the state of pregnancy. The rela
tive frequency of the disease
among women with leisure time
and the successful results ob
tained by psychotherapy have
been advanced as proof of this
theory. At present, it is a more
general belief that the nervous
element Is an aggravating fac
tor, and serves to mask the
actual cause.
Chemical tests have shown
that the disturbance is associated
with Injury to the liver. The
demands of the baby for car
bohydrate are great at this time.
and the liver may be depleted of
its carbohydrate reserve. It is
well-known that the exhaustion
of the sugar supplies in the liver
prevent that organ from func
tioning normally or protecting
itself and the body against the
action of various toxins.
GLUCOSE SOLUTIONS AID
When vomiting begins, a vi
cious circle is established, be
cause the carbohydrates are fur
ther exhausted, and the opportu
nity for their replacement is di
minished. The use of a high car
bohydrate diet when the condi
tion is mild, or the administra
tion of glucose solutions by vein
frequently terminates the vomit-

milk and veoeiahlmi it's
ing and Is a fundamental part of
the treatment.
There are numerous similari
ties between the severe case of
vomiting of pregnancy and con
ditions due to lack of vitamin
B. Pregnancy increases the de
mand for this vitamin, and with
so many diets containing the
minimum vitamin B require
ments, it is possible that the
added burden of pregnancy pre
cipitates vitamin B deficiency.
With the onset of nausea and
vomiting of pregnancy, a woman
is justified In seeking rest in the
most pleasant environment pos
sible, and a diet high in carbo
hydrate, with an excess of vita-

The War
Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
This columni.it once consulted
the Delphic Oraclo at the shim
mering base ot Mount Piirnnssus
In Greece, and came awny with
mora concreto Information than
was disclosed by Messrs Roose
velt and Churchill in their full
dress press conforrnco on tho
promontory of Quebec at the
close of their momentous parley.
The allied pair did a hlfthly
polished job of playing their
cards awfully eloso to their
chests each after his own
fashion. FDR went through
the ordeal quite Impassively, so
we are told by Associated Press
Correspondent John M. Hlgh
towcr, while tho prime, minister
fidgeted.
The puckish (need John Bull
crossed and rccrosscd his legs,
loosened his collar, mopped his
forehead, and "once ho got a
firm hold on a half-smoked clgnr
nd hurled it fur out over the
bluffs of the St. Lawrence river."
Having observed Mrj Churchill
at . close range in London over
many years, I wonder whether
he really was fidgety, or whether
he was putting on one of his lit
tle shows for the boys. I have
a suspicious mind.
Smooth Speeches
Both men made smooth
speeches, but neither disclosed
much. However, joking aside,
we didn't want them to do a lot
of talking for the benefit of the
enemy.
What really matters la that
tho conference radiated supreme
confidence, and we know from
past experience that another big
Job has been well dono. Tho
two leaders did emphasize that
the allied war machine Is grind
ing ahead and that great events
are impending. That's some
thing satisfactory to get ahead
with.
Jap Offensive
One of the most Interesting
and likely important points
brought out was that since the
Quebec conversations had much
to do with planning the offensive
against Japan, Russia wasn't in-
mln B. Should further efforts
be indicated by continued nausea
and vomiting, she should prompt
ly consult her obstetrician.

Well, whllo we should Ilka to

likely Marshal Stiilln would ba

"second front" is being opened
In western Europe. Maybe' ho
will, but In that matter the
Sphinx twins hold their peace.
Tlint did Indlcato, however, that
a conference among the big
three rtiiK.iln, America and Brit
ain is projected, and that's of
vast importance for complete
understanding.
Speaking of the second front,
FDR Introduced a line of
thought which Interested the
press greatly. Ho pointed out
that offensives can't be put Into

what was planned In June ot
1042 wasn't effective until No

(To the Editor) While a resident

seven yours I have been rather
Interested In the attitudes of
people, and In conjunction with
this, I well remember reading
In your column, 'Telling the
Editor," tho many letters at tho
outbreak of war, from the boys
In tho service, commenting up
on, and thanking the people of
Klamath county for their hos
pitalities and kindness during
their short stay.
We all Mo often skip over such
expressions as just politeness on
tho receiver's part, but occasion
ally It comes home to ourselves.
and then wo become fully con-Vf
sclous of the kindness given.
It was my good fortune to visit
Klamath county tho first two
weeks ot August, after having
been in southern California for
about seven months, and I would
like to voice my appreciation of
tho many courtesies shown me
at that time. Space will not per
mit mo to mention the names of
the many friends who were so
good to me, but I know that I
had a few pangs of regret for
having to leave. While en route
to southern California via bus,
I could not help but look west
down the Klamath river and
wonder just how soon I would
be back to again eat chicken at
Largents.
But after this mess Is all
cleaned up I somehow know
that I will be back to stay, homo.
