 NOT TO CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, Sept. - Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that she will not campaign for her husband.
 The First Lady pointed out that since her husband has been in the White House she has been asked by Democratic leaders to take part in his campaigns but has never done so.
 Only one scheduled speech is on Mrs. Roosevelt's calendar be- tween now and election time. That will be non-political ad- dress at Colby College, Water vile, Me, on October 13.
 Mrs. Roosevelt revealed that she would visit "all her child ren," during October. When it pointed out that this meant a nationwide swing, which might be considered to have political meaning, she laughed wholeheart edly.

KING, QUEEN INVITED TO COME TO THE U. s.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. = Brit aims royal family has been in- vited to share Death Valley Scot tvs million dollar desert castle for the duration of the war.
 Death Valley Scotty, who nev- CT kept out of the headlines for a very long period, said that he wasn't sure that their majesties could accept his offer, but he thought it was a good idea.
 Scotty cabled his offer direct to King George instead of both- ering with such intermediates as the British Ambassador in Wash ington.
 The old gold miner said he thought that Death Valley was a good spot to escape Hitlers blitz krieg, while the castle would fur nish accommodations for royalty.
 He said: q suppose they won't accept, but I still think it is a good idea"

HITLER HAVING TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, Sept. - The World-famouS columniSt, Ray mond Clapper, in an article re- leased recently says that inform ed observers believe that Hitler his encountered trouble in his war against Britain and that as an unavoidable result the opin ion of military observers is shift ing to the view that the war will stalemate through the win ter.
 Although. the air damage in- fiicted by the Nazi air force has been terrible, military observers now feel that it is insufficient to settle the issue while at the same time the shortage of British pi- lots is about to be relieved.
 The article says that the Ger mans have been unable to de- stroy the British air force as they did Polands - on the ground. The article further says that an acute shortage of lubri- eating oil and aviation gasoline rather than foggy weather, are responsible for Hitler's failure to attempt a knockout blow.
 Hitler's failure to deliver a knockout blow from the air in turn makes it very unlikely that he will attempt an invasion this winter.

EDITORIAL
WINTER WARFARE N EUROPE

Failure of Hitler to crash thru British defenses with the first on slaughts like he did in his con- tnental drives shows he is up against a different game in try ing to subjugate Johnny Bull.
 With the British spirit high and fall and winter coming on, the German horde will have a much harder nut to crack. Not only is Britain holding her own on the British Isles, but also in the Mediterranean, at Gibraltar and on the high seas, with her blockade effective against ship nents into enemey occupied terri tory.
 Authorities agree that if Brit ain can maintain her grip on the blockade until well along in the winter, hunger if not famine will weaken her enemies not only, physically but with discord and possible rebellion and revolution. All this and more is within range of possibility.
 Britain is far from here last trench. Given a little more time and the liklihood is she will not only stand her ground for months but years and, further more, bring the war home to Ger many and turn the tide to vic tory.
 Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill is made of sterner stuff than his predecessor, and is win ming wide acclaim as a leader comparable with any of modern times. Under his inspiring lead ership old Britain may yet prove triumphant. But it's no time to sit back in snug complacency and think that any part of the world is safe from the wolves.

AID FOR INJURED BRITISH ALASKA FUND ORGANIZED

ALASKA FUND ORGANIZED To assist the injured British in the present EuropeOn conflict an Alaska Fund for The Order of St. John has been organized in the Territory with it's general of- fees at Anchorage. ...... ...... ........
 The officials of the fund are headed by Col. O. F. Ohlson, President, with R. M. Mills, exec utive Vice-President, Alfred Balls, Secretary, and E. A. Ras- muson Treasurer.
 Mrs. Catherine MacKinnon. well known in Juneau, is Lon don representative of the order.

 MT. G. R. Jackson, President of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Nome, has been select ed by President Ohlson to act as Chairman in this community. Anyone desiring to make a con- tribution to the Order may do so by sending their contribution to The Miners and Merchants Bank or contracting Mrs. Kenneth Rank, Miss Mildred Maynard, Mrs. Allan Davis, or Mrs. Robert Eaton who have been asked to assist.
 Old Organization
 The Order of St. John is the oldest organization of mercy in existence, being founded by the first Crusaders in the tenth cen tury at the tide the Christians of Western Europe were endeavor- ing to recover the Holy Land from the Mohammedans. From this ancient organization the pre- sent English order emerged. Queen Victoria in 1883 granted a charter to this order in recog- milton of it's meritorius service in nursing and caring for the suffer ing. The reigning sovereign of Great Britain is automatically a patron and head of the order.
 Work of Mercy
 The Order of St. John per- formed outstanding ambulance service for the Allies during the World War and continues it's work of mercy in the present conflict. Regarding the Alaska fund, Mrs. MacKinnon received the following letter from Great Britain'e Queen:
 Buckingham Palace, July 2, 1940.
 Dear Mrs. MacKinnon.
 q am commanded by the Queen to thank you for your let ter of June 18th, and for your offer to help.
 Her Majesty suggests that as the sending of supplies is difficult now and liable to delay, any con- tribution of money, however small, that you are able to col lect would pc extremely useful, and that the headquarters of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, 3 Belgrave Square, London, s. w. l., would spend it to the greatest advantage.
 "The Queen is grateful for and much encouraged by your help.
 Yours sincerely,
