GIBRALTAR

While the British people dig in to meet de- cisive assault against their island while the Axis leaders make their plans and mass their forces, British anxieties sharpened by bombing attacks on Gibraltar and the danger of determined attempt by Germany and Italy to wrest the great rock away
 The possibility of attack that fortress from the land side with the help of the pro-Axis Falan- gsts in Spain is emphasized by the that Gen. eral Gort and Alfred Duff Cooper, the British Min ister of Information have just visited the rock to inspect it's defenses.
 Although Gbraltar's sea defenses are strong the British themselves admit that their Mediterranean citadel was intended to withstand attack from the land side Its usefulness to Britain pre- supposes neutral Spain. Its peril will be mme- date and real if German pressure pushes General Franco into the overthrows his mon belliger ent" regime. The possibility of decisive ad vance" in Spain's policy is suggested in dispatches from Madrid.
 General Franco appears to be sincere in wanting to stay out of the war, he proved the other day when he dismissed General Vague, the most pro- German and pro-Italian member of his Government. He knows the many weaknesses of present-day Spain her lack of modern arpanes her desperate shortage of gasoline, her dependence upon imports from the United States which would inevitably be stopped if the Iberian Peninsula became a combat He must know that the food shortage is acute, and that three weeks war is about all that Spain could stand He probably is observant enough to know that the existing divisions in the country the by- products of the bitter civil war, would be increased by plunging into the European struggle; for there is a good deal of sympathy for Great Britain and dislike of Germany in the high aristooracy and in the working classes alike
 Nevertheless, the pressures upon General Franco insistent that they may yet drive Spain into desperate courses. The first of them is the undying desire in Spain to regain Gibraltar and to win new African territory. It is probable, indeed that Spain would have marched into French Morocco at the time of the French collapse if she could have done so without risk of collision with General Nogues's well trained French Army of 100000 men.

second pressure from the Axis sympathizers within the Franco Government and from extreme left-wng Falangists, who may yet attempt in- terna Pusch for the sake of bringing Spain into the war. The third, and most dangerous of all, from the reported presence in Spain of thou sands of German troops-their number has been estimated at high as 80000-who poured across the Franco-Spansh border in the week of chaos follow ing the French equalization.
 * Spain has been riddled with German agents ever since the end of her civil war; she has the added pressure of common land frontier with Ger n-occupied territory along the Pyrenees. If Hit Ter really wants to attack Gibraltar, if he wants to burden himself with impoverished Spain as ally, and if he asks free passage for his troops and tanks, General Franco probably is in no position to oppose him
 Such are the reasons why Great Britain now looks anxiousy toward Gibraltar

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
FRIDAY, AUGUST 3

FRlDA1 I, AO1OOI
 Benefic aspects again rule. It is a date most suspicious for all forms of publicity. erchants s should advertise generously. Minds should be clear and judgment trust worthy under this rule of the stars Political candidates should '''ake the most of todays opportunities to win votes.
 Heart and Home: Women will find much to do in work for the public welfare. New leaders of re- markable ability will arise to di- rect service in national efforts to aid humanity and to extend wise hospitality to refugees. This is lucky day for romance. The young will find evening festivities for tunate. Despite the worlds distress weddings will increase, as the idea of finding happiness on the wing prevails. Under this sway house. hold accidents may be numerous.
 Business Affairs: Long predicted increase in the cost of living will be apparent. Colleges will be af- fected by the war apprehension as well as by economic conditions due | to Europe's vast losses which in evitably must be felt indirectly in the United States. The unem ployment problem will be less troublesome in the autumn al- though the number of men and women physically unable to work will increase. Public health will become more and more important as its effect upon national prq ductivity is realized
 National Issues: Danger from subversive agencies will increase in the United States as Washington continues to be honeycombed by employees not in sympathy with democracy or actively employed by hostile governpents. SensationSl discoveries of secret plans to wreck factories engaged in airplane or warShip production are progposi- cated. Warning is given that in looking for subversive activities care should be taken to treat aliens fairly and squarely. iA
 International Affairs: Strikes and upriSingS will complicate war prob lens for the British Empire Mu- tinies and riots are prognosticated for England as well as Ireland Be- fore the autumn the situation in the Dutch East Indies will assume | special significance for the United States. A serious earthquake in Italy is foretold, while Japan also will suffer from violent eruption. A British statesman of wide fame will reach the close of his career
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- plexities. Life may be more than usually serious in it's aspects to men and women.
 Children born on this day may be highly intellectual and pos sessed of remarkable memory. They probably will be as modest as they are talented, kindly and lovable ill nature.

diseased tonsilS cause bad breath?
Could You suggest a suitable rem
edy to combat bad breathe"
Answer--Chronic inflammation
of the tonsilS causes an unpleasant
odor, so that tonsillitis undoubt-
eddy can cause bad breath. There
is TO remedy for bad breath. Its
treatment requires careful evala-
alton Of all possible causes. More
bad breath comes from the nose
than from the mouth. Any infec-
ton in the mouth or nose may
cause it. Scrupulous frequent
cleaning of the teeth (including
the use Of denial foss) is neces-
sary. Only few cases arise, as it
is popularity supposed, from the
stomach. Ordinary mouth washes
are Of little value in the treatment,
but the use of a powder or tablet
that releases chlorine in the mouth
is valuable.
