NOT A POLITICIAN?

So Wendell Willkie is amateur in politics! Then who is-or was-the Wendell Willke who in 1885 not only active Democrat politically but headed a Tammany slate which put him on the New York County Democratic Committed?
 The National Republican Club may be surprised to learn that its member was elected by Tam many at the head of slate wrch also numbered among its ten members James A. Farley, Mrs. Will kie and Mrs. Farley Bernard M. Baruch and Frank C. Walker. Walker, who then Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, you'll remember as the recently mentioned possible successor to Farley as National Chairman.
 The Tammany ticket which the COP. presi- dential nominee headed beat headed by James w Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany in the 37th election district of the 18th Assembly district in 1885. Wkie continued active Tammanyite until June l, 1886.
 Don't try to tell us that he has changed so much in those four years that he has regained his amateur standing and the right to claim that political maneuvering-such the Philadelphia blitz- krieg which gave him the Republican nomination is something he doesn't know anything about.

DEFENSE OF THE ROCK"

Gibraltar is not often referred to by that name among Englishmen It is "the Rock" so important rock that it stands out from all others, at least in the imagination of the English. The news of recent days points very definitely to the conclusion that the Rock will shortly be subjected to enemy attack in strength.
 There have been air raids against Gibraltar sev- eral times. once supposedly by French planes and twice more recently by Italian squadrons. These attacks are tentative and perhaps really only for ob- servaton and practice For GibraltarS guns cannot be put out of action by air bombardment. They are emplaced in great galleries hewn from solid rock. Magazines are sunk deep in the rock and could not be touched off by air bombs
 Neither can Gibraltar be taken by sea, under ex- istng conditions British warships command all nearby waters, and likely to continue thus. Indeed Italy could not take her navy out into the Atlantic even if British craft left the Western Mediterranean The 15-or 16-inch guns on Gibraltar command the strait perfectly.

War, Then Famine

 Every war of considerable dimensions brings in it's wake a famine. The present struggle in Europe is no exception. Up to this threat has not ma- teriaized the prospect is becoming more serious from week to week And unless the British are de- feated completely and their power destroyed the continent of Europe bound to suffer grevously in the fall and winter to come.
 Even if the war should end before autumn, the termination of the blockade imposed by Britain would not automatically exercise the specter Of famine for continental Europe would have to un- earth the of purchasing foodstuffs in immense quantities from the Americas and other areas having food surpiuses
 The causes of the impending famine are not lar to seek Germany had good prospects for food supply last summer but plunging into war meant disruption of harvests, abnormal consumption Of many items and serious interruption of transport. Poland is a great producer of grains, potatoes and fodder but Poland laid waste in September, her transport paralyzed, her economic life shattered.
 Bad crops farther east have reduced the normal export surpuses of Rumania and YugoSlavia and perhaps Russia Denmark, Holland, and Belgium for nerly had surpluses of certain oodstuffs But they were primarily food importers especially of primary commodities Their overseas imports are blocked, and their inclusion in the German economy only intenSfes the prospect of general famine m Europe
 When it comes the famine will be most acute in the conquered countries particularly Denmark and Holland and Belgium, where abundance was the rule until war came Germany is draining off sur puseS" from these tributary states needless Of the fact that they are nearing the point of starvation Htlers soldiers will be the last to feel the bangs of hunger

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SUNDAY, AUGUST 18

Again adverse planetary aspects dominate today. It is rule of the stars that inclines people to look on the dark side of world condi- tions. Destructive thoughts should be overcome.
 Heart and Home: Today heat and humidity may affect the nerves of many in different sections of the country. There should be de- termined opposition to depression or Encouragement. This is time for persons of all ages to count their blessings. If they do not exercise self control women may be exacting and sensitive. Girls should practice unselfish acts. Com ing months will offer numberless opportunities for service to hu- manity.
 Business Affairs: Trade should be good Owners of houses may expect increased demands for shelter. Ren- tals in many cities will rise in the autumn when there will be sudden increases in populations. Immigra- tion laws will be changed so ;ttlat hospitality will be offered many war refugees. New villages will be established, if the stars are rightly read As the old orders pass there will be growth as well as change
 National Issues: Isolationists will vanish as world upheavals spread. Democracy which has become more appreciated as precious possession is to unite the Americas. Bitter cri- ticism will, however, be feature of the closing months of the cam paign which may develop a libel suit of wide significance. A woman politician will prove her talent for leadership.
 International Affairs: Mars and Neptune near the Ascendant at Paris will encourage tyranny and injustice. The seeds of future revo- lution will be widely sown in Eu- rope. India continues under plan etary government that will reveal unexpected royalties. A serious dis aster in South Africa is prognosti- cated. Mining interests will be af- fected.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of do- mestic perplexities. Girls should be cautious in regard to love affairs. Finances should be satisfactory.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be good-natured, talented and energetic, but difficult to .di- rect Many of these Leo boys and girls may be extraordinary in men tality.

Vigilance Means Existence
of hunger
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Against one Naz invasion the British have stood firm It is the invasion of propaganda so success fully used the continent to break down the morale and disrupt the defenses of the enemy Against it Britain has erected barricade that not even the skill of Propaganda Minister Goebbels can pene- trate.
 The contradictory stories concerning the cam paign against Britain emanating from every quarter of Nazi- dominated Europe are part and parcel of the German technique of total warfare. They are designed to confuse the enemy preliminary lo the real attack One says the islands will be invaded next week. another says the blitzkreg is already on and third announces there will be no campaign.
 This is supposed to leave the average Briton ln state of uncertainty, to take him off his guard and to wear down his vigilance. But Britain has seen how this stunt was employed in Europe and is not taken in
 Prime Minister Churchill warns that these Naz reports should be regarded with the double dose Of suspicion which attaches to all of their utterances The public is so taking them. The average English man realizes that sooner later an attempt will be made to conquer his homeland. Hitler has made too many rash threats to back down. He cannot, for one thing, organize Europe while Britain continues through her air force to harry the continent and to cut it off from the outside world by blockade.
 The Englshman knows that today vigilance is not only the price of liberty but of existence itself and all the tricks of Dr. Goebbels will not befuddle

HoOsIER COP MAESTRO

The producer and stage manager of the Wendell Willkie acceptance ceremonies today at Elwood, Ind, is the same man who conceived, financed and directed the famous COP grassroots rally in the spring of 1938
 He is red-headed, explosive Hom- CT Capehart, the heaven-sent angel of the Republican party in Indiana.
 Between him and the COP stan dard bearer there are a number of bonds of affinity. Like Willkie, Capehart was born in the Hoosier state, made his money in New York, owns an Indiana farm, used to be a Democrat, and is a new conner in the political arena.
 Also, for brief moment, Cape hart was Presidential candidate. After so generously opening his ample pocketbook to job-hungry Republicans in 1888, the boys de- cided to reward him by making him Indiana's favorite son hopeful He was flattered, but after wise and earnest consideration declined the high honor
 Capehart's cornfield meeting in southern Indiana was something new in politics. It attracted nation al attention and was big suc- cess.
 He is maestroing the Elwoo6 show with the same care and dash he layished on his grassroots rally Capehart has scattered local com mittees all over the scenery.

Thrift, so long urged by the seers, now will have new meaning as relief on a gigantic scale and en- bracing many Europeans will be im- perative. The second World War will develop unexpected crises.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity and advancement. Promo tion and honors will come to cer- tain women.

 Later, entertaining some dusty reporters, Capehart took them to local tavern. Surveying the es- tablkhment, he snapped, Who owns this place?"
 A kindly faced woman meekly admitted possession.

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. Industry comes under stirnu- lating influences in which labor proves loyal and helpful to en- ployers. It is an suspicious date for launching new enterprises.
 Heart and Home: Women should be most fortunate today in all their activities. They push all their plans for welfare work, for the future is to bring unusual tasks for them. Refugee children are to offer opportunities for aiding hu- manity in many practical ways. There should be economies prac- ticed for the benefit of various war funds. Girls will find this lucky day for romance.
 Business Affairs: Coordination of merchandising and manufacturing interests will bring about amazing results for the nation. On the Pa- cific Coast extreme activity will produce amazing success in prepar- edness efforts. On both seaboards perils are discerned due to sabo- tage and subversive plots. The stars appear to presage tremendous at tainments in defense methods.
 National Issues Conscription of wealth as well as men will be dis cussed with acrimony, but the stars appear to indicate that all personal opinions will be submerged in emergency needs, The victor in the Presidential race is to surround himself with a brilliant cabinet composed of experts in naval, mili- tary and economic matters. States men and business leaders who have proved their ability will be chosen.

Mrs Dwight Morrow, WlooWeo mother-in- Jaw of Colonel Lindbergh, isn't the only member of his fam ily who disagrees with him on his anti British, pro-appeasement views The flier's wife, author of the nov ing North to the Orient" and Listen, the Wind" also sees diff ferently from him.
 The mother of two small boys and fearful of the limelight, Mrs Lindbergh has shrunk from a pub lie expression of her strong anti Nazi beliefs. But personally she feels just as forcefully about them as her gangling husband does about his opposite convictions. Since he has taken to the public arena as the leading appeasement champ ion, Mrs. Lindbergh has become even more secluded than before.
