Horoscope for Sunday

This day is full CT great good
fortune for those whose birthday
it is. A word of warning must be
uttered, however: do not overtaX
your nervous system. The child
born today will have a nervous
temperature, and be energetic, in
dustrious, high spirited and gcner-
ally successful. A somewhat brus-
que manner and an intolerance OF
criticism are two faults to be
guarded against.

The tempter came to him, he said,
If thou be the Son of God, com-

Tt was announced that it was
believed an attack on a mine lay
ing submarine had been successful,
and that British destroyers twice
dropped depth bombs while they
were escorting the Netherlands
steamship Batavier v from Rotter-
dam to Gravesend yesterday when
it brought Sir Neville Henderson
back from his post at Berlin, where
he had been ambassador. Depth
bombs are never dropped unless
those aboard warships are fairly
sure a submarine is within range.
The destroyers dropped three bombs
at one point Half an hour later
they dropped two more. Passengers
in the Batavier v said the ship
vibrated from the shock.

German Troops Thrown
Into Attack On French

PARIS, Sept. 8. CUP)-German
troops, diverted from the Polish
front, have been thrown into a
vigorous counter-attack against the
French along the Lines line, it was
reported today
Reliable informants said Adolf
Hitler had been forced to with
draw from six to eight divisions
from the Polish front in order to
enforce the Saarbruecken sector of
his west wall
By the reinforcement, it was said,
the Germans saved a considerable
force threatened with entrapment
in a French advance from the
Maginot line.
It was added however, that the
French continued a slow, cautious
advance.
Informants said that the French

enced by its behavior towards even
the most innocuous foreign dis

The paper said one neutral jour
nalist's descriptive story of about
London during Wednesdays air
raid alarm was cut to eight words.
The dispatch also complained that
British journalists were hamperee
by the closing down of all telephon-
ic communications which they and
their French colleagues ter m
frankly incredible"
Most London morning newspapers
had editorials along similar lines
today, for the second day in Sue
cession.
The Daily Mail said: "The alb
sence of news may lead not only
to uneasiness but to positive dam
ger"
The powerful Daily Express,
whose daily circulation is more than
100000 copies, said
In it's dealings with foreign
countries the censorship should
bear this in mind; Tell the Ameri-
can public everything provided no
military secrets are revealed. They
speak the same language as we do,
have the same traditions and un-
derstand our outlook 1t is extreme
" important to us in these times
that they should have the fullest
picture of our war, American corre-
spondents should feel that we are
keeping nothing back from them
The Times joined the chorus o!
criticism of the new ministry.
Its machinery has been in prep
aration against this emergency for
many MONTHS an editorial stated
"A large staff of capable censors
was said to be training for their
work. But in its opening moves the
| department made a series of mud
dles and plumbers. These blunders
had the effect of worrying both the
public and the press. especially COR
respondents for foreign newspa-
pers. among whom the Americans
had the most reasonable grounds
for discomfort
The times said British neWspa-
pers would be satisfied if news OF
military value were suppressed but
if it is evident to their common
sense that the intelligence can have
no military value or that it must
be known to the enemy already
then they will suspect some non-
sensical motive for hushing it,.

The work of rounding up sus-
poets was considerably facilitated,
ii was disclosed, because Scotland
Yard was able to provide many
more men than had been thought
possible. The reason was that since
the start of the war there had
been a tremendous drop in crimin-
al activities. Criminals, like other
people, were preoccupied with the
war.

LONDON, friday, Sept. 8. (UP)
British newspapers this morning
intensified their barrage of criti-
sism against censorship restrictions,
particularly as affecting the corre-
spondents of neutral countries in
general and the United States in
particular.
The News Chronicle said several
American correspondents had al
ready threatened to "go on strike"
unless the difficulties they encoun-
ter are quickly remedied.
The newspaper, in a long dis
patch captioned: Gag ON news TO
neutral countries" said
British diplomats in neutral
countries are seriously disturbed by
the heavy censorship operating
against foreign journalists working
in London. News is flooding out of
Berlin into all neutral countries
and the press of those countries is
almost without news from Lon
don. Neutral correspondents in Ber-
lin are able to telephone their cap
itals.
although the censor's office is
receiving much criticism the blame
does not entirety lie in that de-
partment. 1t lies with various gov
ernment departments and with the
Imperial general staff where it
is not yet realized that war is no
longer a matter merely for pro-
fessional soldiers or that world
opinion may be as important as
army corps.

drastic change in outlook is evid-

ure chest are buying pig in a poke.
They do not know what they would
get if they won the 1910 election.
They do not know whether it will be
the heavy reactionism of Herbert
Hoover, or the sometimes one thing
sometimes another OF Senator Vanden
berg, the vagueness of Senator TAFT,
or the prosecuting zest of District At
torney Dewey whose qualifications APP
pear to be that he convicted minor
politician of racketeering-and whose
own state refused to elect him Gov
crnor when he ventured into the
broader-if still limited field-of
state administration.
Probably they are playing bunch
not bad one perhaps-that what
ever the Republican platform turns
cut to be; and whatever is the econ
omic complexion of Republican
President, they may look for the priv
ileges and perquisites that were theirs
in the Harding Cool. dge- Hoover days
And those would be worth buying
