HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 but do not C aapeW
THURSDAY, MAY 30

This should be fortunate day for brain workers, especially law yers and educators. There is an ad- verse aspect early in the morning which may encourage indirectness of speech and action, if not, ab- solute double dealing.
 Heart and Home: This is a day for routine activities in the, house hold. Under this rule there may be an inclination to conceal facts of significance in the domestic well fare. Husbands will keep secret their losses in speculation and wives may be inclined to borrow from the household budget. Labor is under disquieting influence that en- courages discontent in the families of workers. f4
 Business Affairs: There is sign presaging unexpected advancement or success in American trade or commerce The stars seem to smile upon the United States as the na- tion abandons old time precedents and traditions for modern ideas in commerce as well as in govern ment. The summer is to be, note worthy for success in the use of novel inventions and the extension of purchasing power among per- sons of average means. Statesmen will profit.
 National Issues. Youth will be- come aggressive in the national campaign and it's organizations will arouse anxiety as well as antagon- isms. The seers emphasize the im- portance of setting an example of honesty and reliability in political methods. The west is to produce promising leaders of the rising gen. eration and their enthusiasm is to contribute to the success of con- vention candidates.
 International Affairs: The stars indicate that there may be lack of sympathy between General Franco and Mussolini as Spain gains the limelight in the European kaleido- scope. For the British Government ill omens appear and the loss of a powerful statesman is foretold. Heated discussions in Parliament are prognosticated as war; policies come under severe criticistR Next month is to be of supreme impor- tance in the history of Europe, due to surprising developments,
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of min gled good with perplexing situa- tions. New associations will be bene- ficial.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be sensitive and hig h strung. Many may develop marked artistic talents. f

Historic Battle
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Allied armies battling to hold the line which stretches for 25 miles north and south through Bel gium and into northern France behind the Little Maginot Line, hurng every means Of defense into what is probably the most devastating clash III the annals of The future of Europe depends in a large measure on the still uncertain outcome.
 The scale on which the battle is being fought is a measure of it's importance to both sides Three million men reported engaged. Tanks that are land battleships armored cars, heavy artillery whole motorized divisions power diving bombing planes and speedy machine gun fighters churning up a countryside and cities which only few weeks ago saw population engaged in spring sowing and the pursuits of peace
 Naz tactics are now clear quick success in the Low Countries would place them in a favorable strategic position to carry the warfare into Britain The effects of such gain on the remaining neu- ras of Europe especially wavering Italy, should not be overlooked Success might bring peace offensive against France the Naz-controlled press already ad vising Paris to save itself from destruction by mak- ing a separate settlement with Berlin rms, of course will never come about. Frenchmen do not quit and they know that any peace with Hitler would be a respite until such time he could give his undivided attention to their homeland
 The battle along the Sambre and Mouse rivers has a historic ring for FTenchmen. Frances fate has ofen been decided the banks of those streams When all Europe turned against France, following the revolution of 1789 there was one regiment which
 tipped the scales for victory III the very area where the modern war machines of the continent clash ing today. It won the name of the Regiment of the Sambre and Mouse. Its victories are celebrated in one of the greatest military marches in French music It is to the spirit of that old regiment that Premier Reynaud appealed when he told the Cham Der that Hives count for nothing beside our aim, which is to maintain France"
 But spirit alone is not enough to stop the waves of steel and death thrown forward by the Nazis No one doubts the courage of the French and the Eng fish fighting in that Armageddon. They can hold the Germans if they have the equipment to match the invaders and if they have the support and d- rection of loyal superiors behind the lines
 Many aspects of Hitlers lightning success are suspicious starting with the failure of the Dutch to blast roads and bridges in the manner contemplated before hostties began. What became of the Neither lands flood defenses? How far the activities of the fifth column" breaking down effective ress tancep There is to the story than the censor ship allows to pass.
 Whatever is done to save the Allied cause must be done with lightning swiftness. This war, unlike that of 1914-18, does not move few yards day It comes with suddenness and speed which can be answered only by counter measures, previously prepared, that just fast
