SUNDAY, APRIL 23. 1939

Adverse planetary aspects are dominant in the horoscope for to- day, according to astrology This is a Sunday most promising to those who worship according to orthodox faiths.
 In well established churches there will be stronger solidarity than there has been in recent years, it is forecast. Among Protestants there will be more attention to public af- fairs than usual.
 European governments will seek to diminish the power of the clergy, even though there may be proclama- tions of clemency in places where there have been prosecutions.
 There is a sign indicating for the Jews some unexpected benefits to which the United States contrib utes. Many distinguished refugees eventually will find havens in Am erica.
 Secret power is to be given to a great group among the peoples of the world, if the stars are rightly read This power may be in the form of wealth control or financial supremacy, it is presaged.
 Aged persons are well directed by the stars. They are to be assured of protection and increased influ- ence, it is prophesied. Adequate pen sions are to be secured in the United States.
 High winds will continue in many parts of the country. Although floods will be less severe, nature may rebuke mankind by means of earthquakes.
 Under this planetary government plans for vacation should be made successfully. Astrologers fore tell more travel in the United States than at any time in the history ot the country. Airplanes will gain greatly in patronage.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of average good fortune, but they are warned ot danger of loss through treachery Speculation should be avoided.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be alert and determined in character, vigorous and active in body These subjects of Taurus may be fond of display and able to enjoy what is most coveted in life.

steamship companies and the Alaska department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce have endeavored for years to discourage job seekers from coming to Alaska without definite promise of employment
 little added effort in that direction it is hoped will diminish the numbers of those who head north the spring and thus relieve the bad situation which the labor migration produces for both the individual and Alaska.

TT CAN HAPPEN HERE

This is not Germany. And this is not Italy
 If it were, good many things would be different One which would be different and-were sorry to have to say it-better. under either of those regimes is the degree of respect shown the national flag.
 Suppose there had been airplane crash at say, Konigsberg. Three of the six men killed in the accident had fought for the Fatherand in the Great War A veterans organization afternoon got out its flags and paraded through the town in escorting two of the bodies with honor, to ship which was waiting to take them to their homes for burial
 And the people in the streets just stood and looked half interested. Few took off their hats as the flags passed by. No saluted
 The following afternoon a similar guard of honor formed to the body of the pilot also a veteran, to another ship As the flags moved through the streets only out of ten showed the minimum of respect required to doff hat
 At the dock, stevedores kept their caps on their heads as they received and loaded the flag -draped casket aboard the ship.
 It couldn't happen there. But it could happen here It did happen in Juneau last week
 Dsrespect lack of respect, to the national sym bo in of the dictatorships is punishable by any thing up to and including death In Konigsberg, if anyone had not sauted the flag he would have been fallen upon by the crowd and beaten until yanked concentration camp ward by the police.
 The truth is however that a German would have saluted whether through rear or through some nober persuasion he respects his nations flag. No doubt the great majority of Germans love their country, even being what it is today.
 With so much reason to love and re- spect our own nation Americans fail to demonstrate that love and respect in the simplest way by honor ing the flag, the symbol of the nations greatness
 We'll still take America, of course. It takes more than habit of showing respect to the flag to weigh the balance in favor of Hitlerism when that system is compared to
 But can't help wishing Americans did demon strate some of the pride in country which doubt all of them feel

cHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29. 1899

Conflicting planetary aspects are seen in the horoscope for today. The early morning may be adverse. but later in the day the stars are help ful.
 Although there is a sign making for mental boise and clear iudg- ment, there may be bad start for the day owing to disturbing news. Positive ideas should control.
 This is not lucky day for sign ing contracts and may be most un- fortunate if agreements with labor are concluded under this configra- ton.
 Labor is subject to ill omens that prevent unity of action where there is conflict with employers. Industry will need trained men for speedy work all through the spring. Coop eration is urgent
 Buying and selling is well direct ed today Manufacturers will profit and merchants will realize good re- turns. American products will be in demand in far countries even though they may be costly.
 This is a favorable sway for be- ginning journeys on land and sea. Although bad weather is prognosti- cated, storms will not interfere with the plans of tourists. Railroads come under a fortunate rule of the stars.
 Hotels are to have months of real prosperity Americans are to indulge their love of travel, and places of amusement or recreation will profit
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune, but they should watch busi- ness with unusual care. Women should practice wise economies.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in nature and exceedingly sensitive. They should be carefully trained and wisely edu- cated. Many of these Aries subjects become successful writers or paint CTS

Chicago Crisis Averted

William Hale Big Bib Thompsons failure to win the Republican nomination for Mayor of Chicago is for at least fortunate thing If MT. Thompson had won the primaries and then gone on to be elected to the office which he filled for twelve picturesque years in the not distant past might have led to international complications The last time he was in office MT Thompson threatened the late George with severe personal chastisement in case the British monarch dared to show his face in Chicago.
 Now the son, nameSake and successor of George is about to visit the country Chicago is not on the royal itinerary, far know. but the mere pres ence of British King American soil might easily have been regarded by William Hale Thompson menace to our liberties He not likely to take the opposite yew-namely, that it is rather hand- some gesture in George VI to come and help us commemorate the sesquicentennial of a very serious mistake committed by his predecessor George III So all things considered it is lucky that Big Bill hasn't been nominated and cannot be elected.

(Continued rom rage "
 half years while Italy and Germany were giving material aid to the Na- tlonalists, were acting at last- vigorously and with evident hope that they might win Q grea diplo- matic triumph.
 A special French envoy had wis. tied tho Nationalists and returned to Paris with apparently definite pledges that Germany and Italy would be made to take their sole diers home after the war and that they would Do given no dominance over Spanish affairs.
 Secret Instructions Sir Robert Hodgson, British spe- cial agent to the insurgents, was preparing to leave London with secret instructions for negotiations with the Nationalist government.
 The French cabinet planned to meet within e few days to consider recognizing the Nationalists formal ly and sending them as ambassa. dor.
 Britain and France had to aid them, against the more aggressive tactics of the dictators, four potent weapons: D The promise of d!plo. matic recognition, which they could withhold until the Nationalists sent the Italian and German troops home; 9 Money, which the Ma. tionalists, will need to reconstruct the country and which Germany and Italy can not provide; 9 Aid for Catalonia, and for Madrid and Valencia if the war continued and tey fell; q Technical assistance and supplies to rebuild roads bridges, harbors, cities, and rail- roads.
 For the present, the Germans and Italians had their foothold In Spain. Dramatic Feature The mission of the British cruiser Devonshire to the Balearic Islands was one Of the most important and dramatic features of tho situation. Conflicting reports circulating even in official quarters regarding this rtission, were clarified today. The Devonshire, which officials ct : first said was on It's way to Port Mahon and then said had left Port Mahon, actually was there today. It had made previous visit to Port Mahon, chief town Of Miiorca,. There It's commander, Capt. c. O.. Muirhead.Wh!te. persuadde the commanders of the Minorca garrison to talk to Nationalist envoy, Colonel San Luis from Majorca.
 Garrison safeguarded
 San Luis, in the name of dener- alissimo Francisco Franco, offered the garrison: D Full safeguards for life and liberty and property: 9 A guarantee that the island would be taken over by Spanish troops; 9 That no Germans or Italians would Do allowed to land.
 ofilcials here had expected the Devonshire to leave Port Mahon with Col. San Luis yesterday after noon, but they were advised last night that he and Capt. Muirhead. White would remain there until to. day and then 90 to Majorca.
 The fact that Muirhead-White decided to remain was regarded here as meaning that there was hope that the surrender might be negotiated.
