ExpulSiOns From
Czech Areas Begin
In Advance OF
Feb. l Deadline

PARIS (JTA)-Czech Official
circles here reported receipt of
information that expulsion from
the Protectorate had been launch
ed last week-before the Feb. 1
deadline for, Jewish emigration.
AS warning to the Jews that
the expulsion would begin in
earnest on the first of the month,
the Gestapo loaded several humid
red Jews on two cattle trains and
transported them to an unknown
destination, the reports said.
These Jews were said to be all
of Polish origin.
In preparation for the mass ex-
pulSions, all Jews in the Protec-
torate were ordered to submit to
the 1estapo within "a hours de-
tailed lists of their belongings.
Germans were told they could Sc
lect any Jewish house they wished
to move into, and the occupants
were evicted on a few hours no.
tice from those houses chosen by
Germans.
Gestapo orders to the Jews are
not published officially nor re-
ported in the press, but are con-
veyed orally to Jewish communi-
ties, which must in turn transmit
them verbally to individual Jews,
with use of mail and telephone for
this purpose prohibited.

TREND TO CONSCRIPTION

In the face of such overwhelming evidence as exists, only the hysterically pacifist bndly partisan will deny that the great bulk of Americans in favor of compulsory military training.
 The evidence is indsputable. The latest Gallup poll shows that 67 percent of citizens favor the scripton principle for national defense. This is increase from GA percent in June and 50 percent late in May Late in 1938 after the Munich agree ment but before the recognized as cer- tanty, the percentage only 37.
 The only other general poll of opinion this question made by accurate methods is that of Life and Fortune magazines. That survey, just reported in Life confirms the Gallup poll It shows slightly higher percentage favorable to compulsory military trainng-7O7 percent, to be precise.
 Against such uncontradctable evidence these two polls together afford one cannot seriously con- slider purely local polls made by random inquiries without any scientific basis. Neither one meas ure" public opinion by weighing the mail of mem bers of Congress counting the letters written to editors Such indications reflect the fanatca opn- ion of special interest groups They may rep the deliberate propaganda of Nazis and Com munists, the two most active groups in the fight against compulsory military training.
 Congress is to vote on the conscripon bill in a few days. Its members should know and most of them undoubtedly do kiiow that than two thirds of the American people definitely and with their eyes open want the sort of national defense which only be had by compulsory military training.
 Prompt enactment of the measure recom- mended to the Senate yesterday by it's Military Affairs Committee which voted 12 to in favor of the bill. The Senate began consideration of the legislation today guided by a Committee mendation which says emphatically: Reasonable prudence demands an immediate substantial increase in rdlr armed forces would be criminal to give this nation a false sense of security by the mere possession of defensive armaments with cores bonding lack of trained men.

draft men with dependents, should reassure those who feared that compulsory military training would result in and children being left without proper support for eight months year.
 The object of the compulsory military training program is not to train all of the adult male popu- lation for warfare or home defense though this is the impression sought to be created by those who for reasons best known to themselves are opposed to total defense" plans for the United States. This obviously would disrupt industry paralyze business and in general hamstring both normal commerce and the rearmament program. In addition it would be prohibitively expensive
 The purpose of the Burke -Wadsworth bill is to provide for a military census of the nations avail able man power and to establish intelligent basis of selection for training of perhaps 1,500,O0O or 100000 men-as many as are deemed necessary in the national defense plans The companion phase of training for home defense is not intended to impose any hardship upon civilian life.
 The legislation would insure proper training of the men who would be first called to the coors under any wartime draft plan Physically fit men without dependents who are not engaged in essen tial" tasks. By all of the men in this category would be caled-ther chances of selection would be determined by lot.
 It is important to realize that the tranees under the selective training program would mostly be the called in the first draft of war regardless of whether Congress approves the so-called peacetime conscription" The difference would be that, with out the training these men would enter war as green soldiers, among whom the casualties would be perhaps five times numerous as among men who have been trained how to fight safely. This would be quite as foolish quite criminal as to expect them to fight without proper weapons.
 In the last American casualties were dis proportonaely high because of insufficient training And in the next would not have allies to hold the front line while cast about for men to shoulder rifles This is now widely appreciated, and accounts for the fact that the American public pre- ponderantly favors compulsory military training.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, AUGUST g


 Adverse aspects are active today. It is not favorable for the signing of contracts or for an expansion of business. Women are well di- rected.
 Heart and Home: The stars en- courage domestic pursuits today. Housewives should engage in pre- pairing well-stocked cupboardS for the coming winter. Fruits and vegetables should be preserved. Sur plus possessions of every sort should be bestowed upon the un- fortunate war victims. Thrift should be practiced consistently as gen. erous Red Cross contributions are made possible.
 Business Affairs: AS the autumn draws near there will be much prosperity marked by plans for development and expansion of many manufacturing plants. Un- employment will be greatly re- duced, but there will be demon stration of decreased efficiency among long idle workers. Train ing of apprentices will be impera- tive in numerous trades. Machin- ists now will be in demand, also experts in certain branches of building.
 National Issues: Patriotism will be widespread as the need for sacrifice in maintaining the ideals of democracy is recognized. Relief for war sufferers will engroSs at tention and there will be generous contributions to the Red Cross and other relief agencies.
 International Affairs: Canada will benefit in many ways and will at tract many British immigrants as it strengthens it's ties to the Unit ed States. Because of the changes on the European cheSSboard at this time the Dominion will become a haven for distinguished visitors. Naval movements will fix world attention as commerce is menaced from new angles.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ups and downs Alteration in the usual program of business and social life is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be genial in nature, gen. erous and artistic. They may have talent for music.
