" correspondent did the other evening, one is I 1.. Imnmeewl with the immensity of the place, but soon finds himself deep in speculation over its strange ness, its mystery, and the vas complexity of the problems it represents. In all the world there is no place like it. There are con centration camps, and prisoner-of-war camps, and plain prisons, but Tulelake is none of these. -It is a strange ex- ; EPLEY pedient growing oui ui conditions, a troublesome child of the war that was conceived at distant Pearl Harbor. It rep Resents vast personal tragedy, but it also repre sents the sincere, though sometimes fumbling, attempts of a humanitarian government to do the right thing in a tough situation. It is not the solution to any problem, for the vast prob lem It represents is unsolved. Within its far-flung fences are conflicting, not fully identified elements, struggling over con flicting, not fully identified issues. - Within those confines are the , unpunished assassins of a fellow-evacuee, the plotters and the workers for calm and order, the hell-raisers and the peace-lovers, the agitators and the in different, the law-abiding and the criminals. Tulelake center what a spot! You and I live as neighbors to a place that is making un precedented history Progress . , , ' IT is gobd'to report that some progress is. being ' made in- the matter of cleaning up the road sides between town and the Marine Barracks. .The operators, of the city dump there, we are informed, are showing commendable will ingness to cooperate. A fence and some removal , . of unsightly buildings . and rubbish is plan ned at that place. City officials and Barracks officials are getting together on other clean-up plans, anil; .certainly the contractor should soon remove the "temporary dump near the last turn of, the road near the Barracks. It is unfortun ately in full view from the highway.- -..-.- Flog At Night r - S' HOULD the flag fly at night in. wartime? We have a letter from JHB, saying that ononis' way home from work at 3:15 a. m. the other morning he noticed the flag flying over the courthouse. ;The question of the. propriety of night-flying of 'the flag has come up before, and we asked the best authority on the subject we know, Sergeant Les.Finley of the marines. iLes said that so far " as he ' knows, flag etiquette permits flying the flag all night during wartime. . He couldn't find anything in the b$ok .that states otherwise, and we pass along his report without further comment. t) ; v B'riefs .From the Pocket File RESIDENTS of-Altamont drive, the newly modernized1 access road to the airport, have asked .tis. to ; remind motorists that the speed The War Today By DeWJTT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst WITH due caution one records that catas trophe is treading on the heels of the Hitlerian armies which are being rolled back with heavy loss of life and material by a multiple red offensive which is developing the greatest striking power ever let loose in such an operation. The German danger is so acute that disaster of the first magnitude might overtake them at any time. They apparently are. trying to engineer a wholesale withdrawal of great depth to new defenses, thus straightening their long and unwieldy front and shortening their com munications. Need Luck THE nazis will have to be mighty lucky to succeed. We've seen their generalship achieve many masterly withdrawals, and . it would be, a serious mistake to underestimate German resourcefulness in emergencies. How ever, Hitler no longer has the manpower or equipment to enable him to manipulate his defenses as he has in the past. Berlin military spokesmen for several days have been preparing the German public for a great withdrawal on the eastern front. While not avoiding the seriousness of the situation, they've advertised this as part of a revised strategy. ...... It's represented that this realignment will permit of the transfer of nazi forces from the eastern front to the western theater for a major assault on the allies in Normandy. The idea is to administer a quick, decisive defeat on the western allies and then whip back to the Russian front in time to protect the eastern frontiers of the reich. - . Strategy of Desperation WELL, as the stage magician would say, it's a good trick if they do it and it's a good trick if they don't. It's a strategy of desperation, but the Hitlerites are in desperate straits. ' One of the astonishing aspects of the Russian offensive is that the red armies have been aver aging more than 10 miles a day in vital sectors, with heavy fighting, for a score of days without rest. Whether they can continue much longer without a breather remains to be seen, but the launching of their new Latvian drive doesn't look much like a pause. Their stamina is amazing. If they do halt it may give the nazis a chance to pull up their socks a bit. But if the red machine keeps on rolling as it's going now, Hitler may have to abandon the' Baltic states and East Prussia on the run. The nazi command has anticipated this contingency by evacuation of German nationals from some areas. The way the signs read now the enemy will be compelled to fall back at least as far. as the line of the Vistula in the heart of Poland. SIDE GLANCES immtsh )m torn, rtmv m mwkCT.

ASIDE FROM MARRYING the One and Only, there's hardly a bigger step for. a fellow than getting into the . . . right Job and with the right outfit. .How maybe you're a bit tired of 'seeing so many Help Want-ads... tired" of hearing that this or that Job is wonderful, terrific, if not colossal. Maybe you'd like to hear now about an opportunity that's Just simply good and good all the way through. Anyway, here goes. S3 You'll get good wages at S.r. - reg ular, railroad scale. Just recently increased, by the way. And you start right off in the new, higher braoket. (Ihe payoheok, we need hardly oay, Is always on time). IF YOU LIKE PEOPLE, we think you'li like oursthe kind who think tnaybf .the ether fellow has a bit on tho ball, too, and want to help him sho it. They're regular". Typioal rail roaders. (Incidentally, most of S.P. 3 big men started on the lot ad of the ladder). HERE AT SOUTHERN PACIFIC there is an opening for you. We say "opening" purposely because a Job with us can lead to a lot more than a steady paycheck. And that goes, whether . you're a White Collar or No Collar man, bollermaker or shoe clerk. There's an opening for you in the kind of work you want, whether a oraft, office, work, clerioal, tech nical - in fact,' anything., (And don't worry if you're inexperienced. We Bll were, at one time. You'll learn. Of course you do need experience for . such Jobs as boilermaker, pipefitter, carpenter, etc.) RAILROADING IS DIFFERENT. Somethlrj. lolorful and exciting about it a he-man's business. Kind of a rorld of its own time-tables, turn tables, roundhouses, troop trains, locomotives, streamliners. Own lingo, too high iron, red ball, reefer, hoghead, brain plate. Trains and 1.6 grades... everything moving. ..and the whole West to move in. Get aboard the Iron Horse and you'll feel something naybe.no other Job oan give you. Railroading 's that way... NOW THAT'S A SNAPSHOT of what it '8 like working for S.P. We've tried not to doll it up, 'though we could add such things as railroad pass priv ileges, our fine pension plan, medical services, sooial aotlvitiea. and so on. The proof is on tho Job, when you come down to it ...and we hope you'll oome in ready to do a bit of proving. Fair enough? Here are a few of the many jobs open at S.P. today Many others, of courte.
