For the Unknown Albanian

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Italy is not so preoccupied in playing tag with the British in Africa that she cannot give attention to the promotion of her imperial schemes elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin. Albania, which she protects with characteristic Fascist ador is the object of great solictude now.
 An Albanian nationalist residing in Greece re- gently lost his head-literally The Greeks were charged by the Italians with the murder. This is quite comcal despite the tragedy which befell the deceased mountaneer In the first place the Alban- ians are nveterate feudists In the second place if the victim of the crime was really Albanian na- tionalist-that s patriot seeking to re-establish the Albanian misunderstanding is mild fate com pared to what the Italians would have meted out to him
 Italy, as mentor for Albania, the whole busi- ness as a piece of Greek insolence. The lap dog press controlled from Rome is in full cry with Vir- ginio Gayda leading the pack It is really terrible the way Greece has been beating Albanians and Italians! Rome has long been cogrlizant of the in- trigues against Italy engineered by that arch con- sprator Dictator John Metaxas. So runs the chorus independence is guaranteed by Britain. An, the lions paw pulling Albanian chestnutS out of the Greek fire again.
 Italy occupied Albania, of course, as base from which to penetrate the Balkans She long had de- signs on Iugoslava, but that country has been re- served for Mussolinis partner, Hitler Hence Il Duce must content himself with Greece He cannot just walk in and take it. being respecter of international law and treaties. There must be legitimate reason Hence some unsung Son of the Eagle loses his head It can be put in the book that Der Fuehrer gives the word the Black Shirt legions will march to avenge the death of the unknown Albanian.

NATIONAL GUARD ENLISTMENT

Alaskas brand new National Guard will not be called out for a years training under the act just passed by Congress. This is the assurance Alaska National Guard officers have received from high Army officers. And it is logical that the new Guardsmen should not be rushed into intensive man. euvers alongside other outfits which have had years to learn the military rudiments. The Alaska Ma tional Guard vii not be organized to go anywhere in less than year Even after that it is unlikely Cuardsmen would be sent out of Alaska, for no place they could go would they be more useful than they would be right at home in time of emergency
 No doubt the belief that the Guard would be No young man likes to sign up for something which he knows will make him give up all his present op- portunities and responsibilities for full year, even in the service of his country. With that prospect now cleared away it is to be hoped the Alaska Guard will be recruited to it's full strength in short order
 The Alaska National Guard will prove of great value to the nation in years to come Alone it could not repel invasion. But it is equally true that soldiers of the regular Army ordered here hurredly from the States could not alone do much better The Alaska Guard trained in the north. knowing the Alaska terrain and climate be of tremendous service as a guiding force and training force for Chechakos.
 Despite delays in Congress, it is obvious that a national service measure is to be enacted by the United States The Alaskan of military age can do his duty to his country and to national de- fense as well to his Territory and community by joining the National Guard instead of waiting to be conscrpted

system Mir Schoettler Manager of the .Baranoi Hotel debated the question with MT Anderson some months ago. These two men, as perhaps the abest spokesmen for and against liquor monopoly, were asked by the Juneau Retail Merchants Association to present their views anew. The Empire is glad to give space to these arguments.
 Voters who will be asked to pass Judgment on the Territorial stores question the general cleo ton September 10 urged to read the two state ments over carefully and weigh the issues
 The Empire as has been stated in these columns many times, is against Territorial liquor monopoly. We are against it principle and because we know exactly how it would work out in political actuality

On the Industrial Front
Cincinnati Enquirer

The most serious weakness of Britain in the several years preceding the outbreak of war apart from errors of foreign policy, doubtless was the neglect of production facilities for fighting equipment including planes. With our great in dustrial set-up, geared to the mass production Of motor cars. and other similar products, we have an initial advantage The progress being made today is in happy contrast to the delays which were so obvious in England and also in France.
 Reporting the preparedness program as 1t concerns industry William s. Knudsen has indicated that the airplane output has reached an annual rate of 1080O and will be at 18000 by January. Against the somewhat arbitrary goal of 50,00O planes this may not seem stupendous. But when due account is taken of the gigantic problems involved it really is remarkable and gratifying
 Two distinct features of the acceeratlng pre- paredness program are worth noticing. One is the rapdity with which contracts are being awarded and production started from funds only very recently made available The other is the magnitude of the longer range program including the training of skilled workers for the metal industries and the pro vision of abundant supplies of critical materials
 While Congress still struggles with the political complexities of the conscription bill, seeking sats- factory formula for the provision of trained fighting men, the National Defense Commission is making excellent progress the procurement of equipment for those hundreds of thusands of potential soldiers who will be trained for the defense of their country

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not comape"
FRIDAY, AUGUST 30

FRIDAY, AUGUST 30
 This is a fortunate day in plane tary direction for persons who util- ize the morning hours. Foresight should be keen and judgment trust worthy. It is lucky date for start ing any new project.
 Heart and Home: The stars smile today on the women who are will ing to subordinate their wishes to the needs of the hour It is a date favorable to welfare work. Housewives should prepare for win ter emergencies. Conservation of food is duty for all, whether they be rich or poor The need of giv- ing generously to relief organiza- tions of all sorts will be pressing. Good news affecting the family is indicated.
 Business Affairs: Both aviation and naval development are under good directions of the stars. Ma chinery will focus attention of merchants and manufacturers as novel inventions are introduced. h. vestments will become of special concern among prosperous Ameri- cans. Builders and contractors will profit through the construction of dwellings. This may mean expan- sion of accommodations for avia- tors, soldiers and sailors as well as housing for private use.
 National Issues: Sudden emer- gencies will test leaders. Fame will be added to men of courage in thought and deed. SubverSive influ- ences due to successful disguise, are still to permeate all classes in the United States. The youth of one of the political parties will be deceived through clever methods. Pacifistic ideas will be disseminated with in creased energy as training for na- tional defense is emphatically ad- vocated by mel. who realize that arms are to be as necessary as farming utensils here while Europe is undergoing changes.
 International Affairs: Totalitar- ian methods will be reflected in South America as Nazi influences gain acceptance and secret allegi- ance Commercial needs will offer temptation to appeasement where victorious dictators make advances Weakening of certain colonial ties is to be menace to the British Empires crumbling power, but the end of the year is to bring sur prising events that are hopeful for the brave forces at home and abroad
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune, although there will be heavy expenses. Unanticipated windfalls may be expected by wom- en.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intuitive, magnetic and original. These Virgo folk love travel and change.

THE DUKES WALLIE

Word trickling back from the Bahamas regarding the Duke and Duchess of Windsor indicates one of the most extraordinary of hu- man developments. AS married pair the Duke and Duchess are the exact opposite of what their friends had expected.
 AS the Prince of Wales, the Duke had more young women at his feet than any other young man in the world Wherever he went in what ever country he travelled, women flung themselves at him.
 So most of his friends predict ed that after the first flush of his infatuation for Wallis Simpson had passed, Edward would become bored witk married life. But those who have recently seen them together in the Bahamas and in Europe re- port the situation to be just the opposite.
 II dliy t4lAllS, UlfC OuSllcoo oCCilk bored. And the Duke is so in love that he will scarcely let her opt of his sight.
 When the ladies leave the mer for coffee after dinner, the Duke frequently will look around, notice the absence of Waffle, and follow her into the next room.
 Dining with a prominent diplo- mat not long ago, the Duke sat behind large centerpiece, and be- ing short, could not see across the table at Wallis. Suddenly he stood up, said: Where's My Wife?"
 So the host had the centerpiece moved, and the Duke seemed much happier.
 It was regard for his wife which partly led the Duke to give up his

war zone in violation of the Brit ish blockade State Department policy is one of cooperation with Great Britain and not of violating the blockade.
 Furthermore, U. s. Army and Navy executives view the feeding of Nazi- dominated Europe as exactly similar to feeding an enemy of the United States. They contend that one of the most potent weapons against Hitler is hunger, and that for the United States to feed his occupied areas would be playing directly m- to his hands.
 AS a result, some Administration Senators propose an investigation by the Foreign Relations Commit tee of the food-relief activities oi Hoover and disclose associates They point to the Logan bill, which makes it a criminal offense for any American citizen to conduct dip lomatic negotiations with foreign government. At one time, when MT. Hoover himself was in the White House, the Logan bill came near to being invoked against the late Sen ator Borah.
 These Senators would also like to investigate the fact that Ambas- sador Gibson's wife is a Belgian, and that both are on close terms with King Leopold, who surrendered to the NaZis
