Again adverse planetary as
poets dominate today. 1t is rule
of the stars that inclines people
to look on the dark side of world
conditions. Destructive thoughts
should be overcome.
Heart and Home: Today heat
and humidity may affect the
nerves of many in different sec
tons of the country. There
should be determined opposition
to depression or encouragement.
This is a time for persons of all
ages to count their blessings. II
they do not exercise self control
women may be exacting and SEN
sitive. Girls should practice UNI
selfish acts Coming months will
offer numberless opportunities
for service to humanity.
International Affairs: Mars
and Neptune near the Ascendant
at Paris will encourage tyranny
and injustice. The seeds of future
revolution will be widely sown
IN Europe. India continues under
a planetary government that will
reveal unexpected Royalties. A
serious disaster in South Africa
is prognosticated. Mining inter-
ests will be affected.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury of a year OF
domestic perplexities Girls
should be cautious in regard to

satisfactory.
Children born on this day

But their one guiding philosophy
always has been civil liberties
and individual rights. Looking
over the pending bill they dis
covered that the second section
authorizes the attorney general
to resort to overlapping. when
ever he finds probable cause
to believe that any violation Of
law described in Section 1, here
of, may take place ."
The violations of law, describ-
ed in Section l, are ANY inter-
ference or attempts or plans to
interfere with the national de-
tense in any manner"
These old-type liberals contend
that the language is so broad
as to give the attorney general
power to tap any telephone in
the United States on the whim
of a moment. His only require
ment is probable cause to be-
lieve that an individual may
plan to interfere with the ma
tional defense in some way.

DOCTRINE ENFORCEMENT
Editor The Times: When the
Monroe doctrine was promulgat-
ed 1t was not with the sanction
of League of Nations" or did
we first consult with rulers of
other lands. We felt secure be-
hind vast ocean barriers and
well able to uphold the doctrine
by force. So we merely posted
notice to the world. Since then,
together with most South Amer
lean rulers we have developed
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. YER
boten nations in support of this
political assumption. The world.
meanwhile, by new inventions, is
become able to truly threaten
our security.
In world where political line
ups ever change, where even
France may yet effectively turn
against England as in other
wars, when its on again, off
again toward Russia and Japan
both England and the U. s.. we
must permit our fears to range
nor allow our vigilance to abate.
The subject of raw materials
or foodstuffs which insular or
industrial nations require II too
rigidly denied them will ever
create war. The individual man
feels the world is freely his in
virtue and in all its products;
his birthright a universal. demo-
cratic right to share it. So, with
our attitude maintained as above
and we an 1000 party to foreign
politics must we not henceforth
play them European style?
1t behooves US, then, to ehmin-
ate England from the Caribbean
automatically. peacefully. judi
ciously as possible. and to
woo Canada from the entangle-
ment which caused her to de-
clare war. Canada has justified
the very European interference
inveighed against in the Monroe
doctrine. Thirty years ago I
found born more kind
ly disposed toward the U. s. than
toward England. However, per-
haps she has been, even as we
ensnared by intercolonial lures to
big business. Fully absorbed by
England. she. ignoring our Mon

prisals against this continent.

ANOTHER INTERPRETATION
OF ARMAGEDDON

Editor The Times; Where on
earth are people getting the
fantastic idea that the present
war in Europe is Gods war and
that America must enter II be-
cause II says In the Bible that
we should? The war over there
is being called the Battle of
Arnageddon. Such supersti-
tious romanticism is unbeliev-
able in this enlightened age. II
harkens back to the old days
when witches were burned at
the stake because the Bible SAYS
sinners must be purified by fire.
Now we know Cwhat was there
TO know in those days. the Bible
says that the fire that purifies
is the Spirit OF God.
Maybe the Battle of Arms-
geddon is going on now. but If
those VINO are saying this viii

lations they will find that Mars
the God of War was not permit
ted to break the seven seals,
only the Lamb (symbol of gen.
tleness) was permitted to do
this. You will also find that he
who lives by the sword shall die
by the sword. You will find that
those who make war, commit
murder, etc, will not enter
heaven, but he who overcom-
eth" he who believes in Christ
and keeps Gods commandments
will be saved. This fact is found
repeatedly not only in the Book
OF Revelations but was spoken
Of by Jesus and by the prophets
and can be found in many places
throughout the Bible.
So IL you believe the Battle
Of Armageddon has begun then
you had better clean up your
life RIGHT NOW. You had bet
ter help America clean house
and weed the mistakes out, help
America progress and help to
protect II from evil--for God
will deliver US from evil provid-
ing we sow the seed of Peace
so that we may reap the Har-
vest Of Gods blessing.
