During the business hours of this
day the sway 10 fortunate. according
astrology. The sun n mercury
rule strongly for good. Uranus and
Venus are adverse. =
The planetary government Is most
favorable for contracts and agree5
ments, whether they be commercial
or diplomatic in character.
It is an especially suspicious rule
under which to make bargains with
persons who control lcSge interests
and again the seers feretell many
conferences and important results
making for harmony between classes
OF men or conflicting organizations.
This Is a promising day for all who
seek to improve their positions. Pro-
motions and preferments are under
the best direction.
There is good luck promised for
those who seek employment. Work
is foreshadowed for women who will
perform great tasks.
Lovers should beware OF engage
ments entered into under this config-
uration, which foreshadows disap-
pointment, especially for men.
Uranus Is In a place making for
criticism and false judgment of per-
sons In exalted positions. Political
candidates may find 1t necessary to
combat much misrepresentation. This
Is likely to be the case In California
and several of the Southern States.
Uranus BODIES Ill for persons guilty
of ~disloyalty and indicates the uncov-
ering of sedition and treachery in
which women will be implicated.
Again astrologers foresee the un-
masking OF traitors in government
positions.
Women should not take the initia-
tive In any business or official action
while this sway prevails.
Speculation should be avoided. Mis-
fortune will attend all efforts to make
money rapidly and the seers foretell
that a new point Of view concerning
certain accepted financial methods

BRITAIN TO CALL

First Levy Will Be Made on the Men
Born During 1874-75-Assembly
to Be Made by Groups.

LONDON. May 29.-The minister of
national service, Sir Auckland Geddes,
has issued statement in regard to the
first call Of the m ms now liable to mill,
tary service under the man power bill.
The first call will include men born
during lS74-75 and will be issued at an
early date. The statement explains that
the men will be called by groups accord
ing to ages. Men who are of the new
military age and who are registered
as working in one of the following oc-
equations will not be called up at pres
emit: Agriculture, government construe-
tional work aerodrome construction,
mines, munitions, railways and trans

engaged in certified occupations also are
protected.
No man will be called fer service I'M
til he has been medically examined, and
every notice calling up an older man
for service will give IA days notice of
the time and place at which he is to
report.
For the time being, however, men of
| the new military age will not be called
| up for service unless in grade l OF

becoming officers in the various serv
ices in the army for which they ar
suited.

Refrains from Interference in Internal
Politics While Showing Every Will
ingness to Help the Country-Watch
full Waiting.
LONDON, May 29-The closer the |
British government examines the prof
ect of allied intervention in Siberia
the less inclined it is to enter on this
policy. A month or two ago officials
were not indisposed to the idea, if
Washington would assent and Japan
was ready to work with her allies; but
now, in the absence of any signs of
emergence of settled regime in Rus
STA, and the consequent impossibility of
procuring an invitation from a repre-
sentative authority, there is little to
| induce the government to embark on
| policy the result of which, no one
could foresee.
/ The most hopeful sign in the Russian
situation is the resolution recently
adopted by the Cadet party refusing
| to make use of German aid in restoring
order. 1t has always been feared that
the industrial and commercial classes,
which form the backbone of the cadets,
would, through a desire to save what
they could of. their property from the
general wreck. be more willing than
other factions to accent the Germans as
liherators from ANARCHY. and the fact
that thev have resisted the temptation
is regarded here as encouraging. 1t is
understood that it was the Jewish sec
ton of the Cadets who insisted on this
I firm stand, and absolutely refused to
compromise with the Germans
At the same time there is no illu-
sion here as to the immediate power of
the Cadets They are far too weak in
numbers and have two small following
to influence the situation greatly, and
: they can only be considered as a nu-
elens around which sooner or later the
forces of order may crystalline.
; The result is that the British govern
. ment as vet sees no evident steps it ear
take TO assist its ally. 1t is carrying
! on informal relations with the Rolshe
e Wiki and transacting necessary business
e with their representatives It is show
: ing in every way it can its willingness,
e to assist, and is keeping clear from an,

SEEKS WORK FOR CRIPPLES
This State Leads i'm Providing for
Disabled in War or Industry

Pennsylvania has taken the lead
among the States in providing for men
disabled in war or in industry. The
state Department of Labor and Indus
try is making a systematic effort TO OBJ
tain accurate information on the labor
situation. and has obtained some In
teresting statistics.
The state organization is making
survey to discover openings and possi-
bilities for disabled soldiers. Its aim
is to determine the number OF places
that can be filled and the kinds OF work
that can be done by handicapped men
efficiently trained
Already $4,000 places suitable for
men with partial disabilities have been
found in the State alone. Other states
are making or are planning similar re-
searches in order to gain accurate IN
formation regarding the jobs that VIII
be awaiting discharged soldiers prepared
to till them.
The aim of the work is to bring to
light employment needs and labor con-
ditions in each locality, and to ma
plenty of work and standard wages Tor
discharged soldiers, so that they may
return to industrial life not as pension
ers. but as self-supporting workmen.

CITY SPENT QUIET SUNDAY
Churches Closed to Large Groups.
Motorists Obey "Casless" Rule

Philadelphia tumbled out of bed in
the pink of condition today after what
was probably one of the quietest days
in the history of the city. owing to the
influenza epidemic and war conditions.
To guard against influenza the
churches were closed to large groups
and to conserve gasoline the motorists
didn't motor. Churches observed the
church closing order SO far as holding
services. but made the most of the rul-
ing that permitted gatherings of twenty
persons. This ruling, "A modification Of
the closing order. permitted small con-
gregations to conduct prayer meetings
and Bible classes and permitted Catholic
churches to open their doors to persons
who wished to make devotional visits
In none of the churches We're more than
twenty-five persons permitted to congre-
gate at one time.

we would kill our own man. Then sud
denly the American stumbled and fell
fiat. Instantly our barrage was off
and the five Germans dropped together.
1t was the quick wit of the American
that saved him. He was confident that
somewhere in the trenches his pals were
waiting to help him.
In vivid word pictures the corporal
told of his living in the trenches thirty
six, days. He swore the rats were
eighteen inches long. But We didn't
