The casualty list from Europe will continue a few days until all reports have come in but soon this will cease entirely. The worst is over over there. —o Detroit observed V-E day by putting on three big strikes and up in Halifax, the crowds went wild and looted business houees. We are a queer people on this continent and we do strange things some limes. —o And now for that Seventh War Loan. It opens the 14th— next Monday and continues until June 30th. It’g another big effort, mighty important—and must be met. Take

oft.your coat and help do it. O—O Lt. General Walter Bedell Smith, Allied chief of staff, a Hoosier, had the honor of signing the document imposing unconditional euvrender upon Germany at Reims, France, writing his name in never-to-bc-for-gotten history. —o President Truman has designated next Sunday as the time for serious observation of the victory in Europe. In every church prayers will be offered in appreciation and in hopes for a speedy conclusion of the war in the Pacific to bring enduring peace to a world, tired of bloodshed and nccdlciSs destruction. ■ii i The capture of Goering and Kesselring by the U. S. Seventh Army adds to the long list of those guilty, not for war, but for the terrible crimes so needlessly committed. They will be punished in accordance with their activities but after being given fair trials. It's a fair jump for those men who have held power co long and used it so ruthlessly. —o—o—- — time bld Jack Frost slipped out of this section of the cotltrfry. He has been hanging around now about—seven rbohfhs aiiif he gives us tlie shlvVefs.

the roar ot planes and the noise of heavy guns. It gives too much time to think of the terrible mistake of starting such a war and its depressing to think of the ( future. Time le the only medicine known as a cure of such ills as now cover much of central Europe. o—o The brown-out has been called off by President Truman, lights are on at the Capitol for the first time since Pearl Harbor and the new order permits the use of lights tor abreets and signs again. It will be | welcomed for while the dim lighting was perhaps not a great inconvenience it did add to the gloom of the period. —o—o — Attendance at the church services here In observation of V-E day was encouraging or it showed the keen interest of the people. There was a sincerity that indicated reverence and a determination to battle for peace as we have fought to win the war. The church is the most important part of any community and through it this nation will not only continue great but become greater. O—o We are on the way back. The ban on horse racing has been lifted and the midnight curfew order cancelled. The changes will com.’ rapidly now as the war effort is reduced because of the victory in Europe, it. can’t all be changed over night for we still have much to do but its coming. AH eyes will turn to the Pacific as we continue our efforts to wipe out war. May it bring peace for centuries to come isl the wish of a billion people i'.i the world.

-—o—o The talks by General Marshall, General Eisenhower, President Truman, Premier Churchill, and many other leaders were inspiring and wise.. While rejoicing at the moment of great victory they did not forget the responsibilities for the future and the need for success at San Francisco and in the capitals of the va’rlous nations. We have much to do and ft can only be done if the people think and act right. __o_o— Japan should realize how serious her position is and what vast destruction will come to that country if they persist in their policy of "fighting to the last man." President Truman has warned them and back of that, warning are all ths resotfrees of this nation and many of her allies. The tempo will increase rapidly how as the full force is thrown into the pacific war. While many predict the war will fast from two to' three years, we doubt if Japhn can’ stand what is coming very long.

bceatuf Observed V-E day calmly and with the realization that the victory ifi but half won. We must and will go on to V-J day, meaning victory every where. Parades were tietd atiil there was a general hafiity a’itiit/dn a'mong the people MVt coitilh‘iie<i in the plants and there weie rifo wild demonstrations. business ceased, schools dismissed for the day and the occasion was solemnly observed. a‘s we remembered that the Pacific war must go on until Japan surrenders unconditionally. We still have a tremendous job to do. —o There will be many changes in conditions in this country the next few months as regulations relax and people turn to tlie future. Almost every big corporation as well as of individuals have improvements in mind and the task will be to get the jobs done, to find materials and to organize so that -things can be completed efficiently. It can’t be done in a f* • f few weeks or months but eventually we will reach the post-war period, settle down and go on. It's a good time to keep our feet firmly 6u the ground and to remember the Golden Rule.

Observance by the United Stales of the standards established by the. Geneva convention for the maintenance and treatment of war prisoners has been and is a treaty obligation but it lias also “paid dividends" of recognized and enduring value, according to testimony before the House Military Affairs Committee. The effect on the German people has been to counteract and defeat enemy propaganda by which' it was hoped to build tip fear and hatred of the United Stales and continued resistance to its forces. Brig. Gen. B M. Bryan, Jr told the committee. In support »f his assertion he read from a report of General Eisenhower, who said that German belief in American kindness had “seriously tin dermined” Nazi unwillingness to "resist and continue fighting” and canned the surrender in increasing numbets of German troops.

REGRETSEXPRESSED (Continued From Page One) tor (Kent) Cooper in his statement of yesterday.” Cooper said in a statement in New York yesterday: "The observance of all obligations voluntarily assumed is, always has been and will continue to be a cardinal principle of the Associated Press and its employes. There will be no prejudgment of Edward Kennedy by me.” Investigate Action By United Press A committee of three officers appointed by Allied supreme headquarters to investigate the unauthorized dispatch on the Reims surrender filed by Edward Kennedy of the Associated Press was expected to make public its findings soon. Meantime Kennedy stood accused,- in a statement authorized by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, of imperiling peace negotiations between the Russians and the Germans, of putting Eisenhower in position of breaking his word to the Russians and of a violation ■'definitely involving the possible loss of American ami Allied lives.” Brig. Gen. Frank Allen, supreme headquarters press officer, made the statement authorized by Eisenhower. He said the supreme commander had promised the Russians that the news of the Reims surrender would not be released until they were satisfied that the surrender ■ was genuine on all fronts. o In an average year, about 43 percent of the world’s forest production qomes.frpm the United States.
