Another Egyptian Expedition

(New York Times)
 It is being said that perhaps the invasion of England is feint and Hitler will suddenly hit hard somewhere else like the Mediterranean. For that matter the Italian drive against Egypt may be the real Axis objective while the British Government is tied down to the defense of the island home.
 If so it will not be the first time the thing has happened Approximately one hundred and forty years ago Napoleon Bonaparte spent three weeks in specting the Channel coast with view to the long planned invasion of the British Isles. For while he was Commander in Chief of the Army of England. Then he dropped the title and the plan and before many months he was in Egypt with an army of 10000 men, This in 1798.
 The great Nelson tried to intercept the French fleet but missed it in the dark. Later he caught 1t at Aboukir and destroyed it, cutting off Bonaparte from his home base This did not feaze the Man of Destiny, who managed to keep going for nearly year and a half in the Near East. When he got tired he left his army in somebody elSeS charge ana sailed for home and more eluded the British fleet Today it is supposed that the British fleet will try to cut Marshal Grazianis communication with his Italian homeland
 Bonaparte told his soldiers. when they were fighting Battle of the Pyramids that 40 centuries were looking down on them. Mussoni will be in a position do better if it to fighting on the banks of the Nile Almost Al E centuries would be looking down on Il Duce, by Napoleons reckoning But as matter of fact the Little Corporal under estimated the throng of shadowy centuries in the land of the Pyramids. Today speak with lair accuracy of at least 50 centuries of Egyptian history.
 Incidentally our deeper knowledge of history on the Nile is due in large measure to Bonaparte's ex- petition of 1798 He brought with him not only soldiers and administrators but scholars The invad- ing Egyptoogists found the Rosetta Stone, which became the key, some time later, that unlocked the secret of the hieroglyphs.

 The big climactic pictorial feature of Girl from Gods Country" is the snow avalanche which roars down the mountain side obliterating everything in it's path and engufng men and dogs on the trail below There is other excitement: Arctic bliz- gard pursuit with dog teams racing through the drifts and the hero jumping from cliff into river full of cakes of ice It the young doctor came north to escape murder charge in the States Pursuing him is Charles Bckford the federal officer Comes the dawn of love in the girls heart and she does lot toward saving her hero and helping him make restitution mid ice and snow and epidemic

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, OCTOBER IT

This is not an important day in planetary direction. There may be an inclination to look upon the dark side of life which at this time will appear to overcast all that is bright. Faith and confi- dence should be cultivated.
 Heart and Home: Public service may interfere with many domestic plans in coming months. Women should be wise in their adjust ments to meet changes in family needs. Home should be made a place of peace at time when war menaces civilization. Warning is given that evil portents are dis cerned for the future. Girls should be trained for practical tasks and should be qualified for economic independence.
 Business Affairs: Dealers in shoes and in leather goods of every sort will find extraordinary demands upon their stocks. Rise in prices is prognosticated. A severe winter is foretold and the need of warm clothing will be greater than usual. Furs will attain great value and those who possess them will be for tunate. Novel methods of aiding European war victims will be pro- noted by American business in a big way.
 National Issues: AS the end of the national political campaign hears the intensity of the compe- tition will cause serious personal differences among leading men and women. An incident of sensational character will cause political scandal. The stars appear to pres age the awakening of party loyal ties wherever they have been af- fected. Victory to the candidate who knows the job that is sought is 1 foretold by foreign astrologers.
 International Affairs: Sabotage is to cause disaster to great artery of commerce in the United States Danger for channels con- meeting friendly nations is fore cast. The St. Lawrence River is to be in the headlines because oi subversive plots that cause loss oi life. The Mexican border is tt furnish an example of fifth column activities.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t k have the augury of a year of ad- vancement. Employees will be for. tunate. Friends may cause losse' of property.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be kindly, clever and am bilious. They should be easy t guide toward high attainments.

SENATORIAL FEUD

The United States Senate, some times called gentlemen's club, actually is rife with personal feuds and usually between Senators from the same state. For instance, Senator Bilbo of Mississippi is no friend of Pat Harrison from the same state; Senator McCarran of Nevada has done his best to under cut statesmanlike Senator Key Pittman, also from Nevada: while Rush Holt of West Virginia sabot- ages Senator Nicely. the man who helped him get elected.
 But perhaps the bitterest feud has been between the two Senators from Wa hington Bone and Schwellenbach. Both Democrats both New Dealers, they have fought each other tooth and nail Federal appointments have even been held up because of their inability to agree on an appointec.
 The rivalry became so bitter that Senator Bones political machine headed by Saul Haas, threatened tC oppose Schwellenbach's reelection And in the face of this opposition Schwellenbach is stepping out oi the Senate to become a Fedora Judge.
 This was expected to leave Sen.

policies involving foreign affairs.
 However, while on intimate terms with the White House, Knudsen has had some brushes elsewhere. He and Treasury officials crossed swords over certain phases of the new excess profits tax bill. Also the protracted Congressional delay over plant amortization, while no fault of Rooseveltis, irked Knudsen con- siderably, since it threw monkey wrench into production schedules on which he had worked hard and of which he was very proud.
 Aware of this private irritation, certain of Knudsen's former busi- ness pals have been quietly need ling him to bolt the Defense Con- mission with ringing demand for the election of Willkie.
 This political pressure has not been entirely from the outside Some heavy licks have been put in by certain dollar-a-year business ty- coons inside the Defense Commis- sion, several of them on Knudsens own staff.
 With the tax bill and last ap- propriation measures finally cleared by Congress, Knudsen is immersed in getting his production schedules into high gear and has given nc indication of being influenced by politics. But the GOPers are put ting on the heat from every di- rection and as hard as they can.

EAGLES IN ALASKA

There are stirrings in the Alaska public con- indicating there will be another attempt be- fore the 194l Territorial Legislature to do away with the S1 bounty eagles and to bring Alaska into line with the AS States in protecting the national bird. Such an endeavor during the 1889 session created quite stir but met with success.
 When the eagle bounty was first enacted in Alaska the birds actual menace. They did marked damage to the stock on island fox farms carrying off and killing many valuable fox pup Today there isn't fox farmer in the business who knows the business and who lets his animals run at large on an island Pen raising has been demon strated to be vastly superior The island fox farm ing method which gave rise to the eagles has been dscredted and has all but disappeared.
 But bounty hunters are still killing eagles. They are not having as easy time they did few years back because the eagle population has been thinned down effectvey-too effectvey-by the bounty system.
 Since June of this year, for the first time since it chosen a national symbol by the Contin- ental Congress in 1782 the bald eagle has been ceiving in the States the protection sought for it by those who believe it to be threatened with extinction It is protected by Congressional act which spe officially exempts Alaska. Substantially the act for bids the killing taking of birds or eggs, or the purchase or selling or possession of birds eggs.
 Whether Alaska should go so far as to prohibit the killing of eagles is debatable. But there is nc question in the minds of those who have studied the eagle population and seen it disappearing gradu- ally in Alaska from year to year that the bounty which makes the killing of eagles profitable con- mercially should be removed For one thing, the Territory is paying good money for something which is of value to the people of the Territory at this date For another. the eagle, picturesque anc symbolic bird, is gradually disappearing. We do not to say that there Is any great danger of imme- date extinction of the bald eagle that these birds do not still exist in considerable numbers in Alaska Indeed an eagle may be glimpsed occasionally within

They presented her to American listeners to testify to the ruthless ness of British bombing. She spoke, describing the bombing of hos pital in Berlin. Then the German speaker. Lord Flaw Flaw, said, American listeners must now believe, from the lips of an Amer ican young woman, what atrocities the British are committing
 The only trouble was that the Germans were too clever. Instead of inventing name, they had actually picked a known American woman and pretended that she was speaking at the microphone.
 The broadcast was heard by an associate of Colonel Ragsdale in Philadelphia, who phoned him and asked, "Is your daughter in Der lin?' Of course not" replied Rags dale, "she is right here in the room with me-

a few miles of Juneau. But all Alaskan outdoorsmen will testify that the eagle is much bird than he was few years ago. And that is the road whether long or short-to extinction.
 The 1941 Legislature might well study the eagle problem carefully With the gradual enoroachment of civilization the eagle is flying deeper into the wilderness anyway We should not kill off the few which remain near cities. Alaska would not be Alaska without the graceful black silhouette and the rusty cry of the eagle overhead from time to time.

WILLKIE AND LABOR

From the start of his campaign in the Chicago stockyards, Wen dell Willkie has plugged tenaciously away at wooing labor It has been hard, uphill fight.
 But the gritty COP standard bear CT has stuck doggedly to it and has gone out of his way everywhere to sell himself to the working man. Just how tough a proposition this is, is illustrated by the following incidents:
 1. In Lansing, Mich, the Olds- mobile auto infringement asked the shop committee if it would be all right to close down for an hour, so that Willkie could visit the plant and talk to the workers. The an- swer of the shop committee was that the union had no objection provided the company paid the men for the time they listened to the candidate
 The company refused, and the proposed meeting was cancelled.
 2. Husky, white-haired Charles MacGowan, vice president of the AFL Boilermakers and Shipbuilders Union, is a lifelong Republican and personal friend of Willkie's: Several years ago, at a conference with MacGowan in the New York offices of the Commonwealth and Southern Corp, Willkie instructed an assist ant:
 Fs"I want you to see to it that here
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-10-16

after no supplies are bought from any concern that doesn't play ball with the boilermakers' union These boys are our friends"
 MacGowan relates thsi incident proudly. But when the COP Ma tional Committee asked MacGowm- an for an endorsement of Willkie MacGowan replied with a polite but firm "nof'
 I'm sorry to have to do this, he explained, flor I have a deer affection for Wendell Willkie. He's one of the grandest guys I know and our relations on labor matters always have been good. But I've got to think about my own people first.
 T guess I would have been in here pitching for Willkie if he had showed labor he had more tC offer than the New Deal. He hasn't done that. He has made lot oi promises about putting people back to work, but he hasn't told how he would do it. Promises aren't enough So I'm casting my lot with Roose- yelt."
