BIG CONNECTION MADE


I STOCKHOLM April 80. - EARLY
this morning, the German High
Command claimed land connections
have been established between the
main Norwegian base at Oslo to
Trondheim on the west coast.
This is a damaging blow to the
Allies who still are apparently I'M
able to resist the German rapid
drive through the mountains Of
Central Norway despite the arrival
of reinforcements.
Although the line is a long one,
it probably means the Germans
are now In position to isolate
the Allied forces which advanced
inland from the coast, and also
to maintain a strategic hold on
communications.
1t is also admitted that the Ger
mans have captured the important
railway junction of Storen, 80
miles south of Trondheim and it
is further said the position of the
Allies is a difficult one.
1t Is also reported the Germans
are making rapid progress toward
Bergen, southwest coast and heavy
air attacks have been made on
the Allied forces at Namsos and
Andalsene where reinforcements
have been landed from British
troopships.
The Germans also claim six Al
lied ships have been sunk or Sc
verely damaged, several bases set
afire and zone enemy submarine
sunk"

If the Allies Stopped
humanity
(NeW York Times)


 Winston Churchill always be counted upon to produce the vivid phrase. The other day he found one that more enlightening than an hours complicated speech Allied war aims. There are" he said, "thoughtess diletante or pur- blind worldlings who sometimes ask us: What is 1t that Britain and France fighting for?' To this I make the answer If we left off fighting, you would soon find out
 Suppose we carry MT. Churchls 'if' a little further If the Allies left off fighting" Hitlers Germany would be secure in the possession of it's conuuests and free. for further aggression What then? Does any one along Germanys borders ima- zine that the Reich would settle down a good neighbor iii Europe? The German campaign Of abuse and terror which led to Munich came less than six months after Marshal Goerng had given his word of honor" on behalf of Hitler, that Czechoslovakia need have fear The German in- vason and the extinction of Czechoslovaka from the map of Europe, only six months after Hitler had soemny promised at Munich to respect the new Czech frontiers. The invasion of Poland six months thereafter followed the familiar timetable and was preceded by the same technique.
 The Allies are convinced that if they left off fighting" Budapest and Bucharest and also Amsterdam and Stockholm, would become con- centration camps like Vienna and Prague and War saw with the same savage despotism crushing every standard of decency and every spark of freedom They believe that insecurity and fear would grip every free nation in Europe that Britain and France would be fatally threatened before very long, and that distant spectators like ourselves would be confronted with a world of totatarian economics and jungle law For these reasons the Allies genu- finely believe they fighting the neutrals battle as well as their own.

HELL ON WHEELS

Spring has brought out the bicyclsts in Juneau and how Youngsters from eight to eighty have oiled up their wheels and set them to spinning through the streets of the city and along the Gla cier Highway.
 Cycling is wonderful sport. Unfortunately, in this age of automobiles. it is dangerous sport Some one is going to be killed if bicycsts continue to weave in and out of traffic. drive in tandem down narrow streets and pedal in the dusk without lights
 It is too much to hope that youngsters will heed such warnings But parents should If you have a boy or girl with bicycle and if you want to have your child alive at the end of the summer. take him in hand at once and give him safety lecture he won't forget.
 The particular hazard which appears to be most dangerous is that caused by cycling at night Bicycles are required by law to be lighted if they operate after dark This doesn't seem to register with some of our younger generation in Juneau. Every evening the bicycles out. Some evening one of them isn't going to return home. Make sure the casualty won't be your boy or girl.

victims of persecution in Europe and the Near East Catholic contributions for foreign relief through or ganized channels increased fifth of million dol lars to a total of $23O0OOO in 1939 the Department of Commerce report showed
 AS an offset to the larger gifts to the victims of war and pogroms somewhat less money was sent abroad last year for the support of missions and education Donations to Protestant missions in India China Japan, Latin America and Africa de- creased SlOOo0O to total of $156OoO00. There was a drop of S1 100000 in the amount spent for non- sectarian philanthropic education and scientific programs in China, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Europe-such activity receiving s6,80oOOO in Ameri- can donations last year.
 War aid in cash to China and Finland during the calendar year estimated at S4,000000 by the Department of Commerce, although Chinas total help in the form of cash and goods valued at S1O0000O0
 With the expected intensification of war through out the world the United States role the good Samaritan may become approximately larger. This is nation of warm hearted people, not inured to the thought of human suffering. Our contributions abroad are after all, merely the watermark of our humanity.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-04-13
CHARITY ABROAD

Although still beset by heavy charitable obliga- tions of own, the United States is very sub stanal contributor to the relief of suffering people throughout the world. The extent of such aid is indicated by a Department of Commerce report list ing the contribution of nearly $40000000 for relief in foreign countries by American charitable and re- ligious organizations during 1939
 This sum, which is in addition to the outpouring of relief funds through individual and unorganizec ,hannels takes into account only small part oi the American funds donated for Finands use. The campaign to aid Finland did not mature until after the first of the year.
 War and persecution, rather than natural caa- mites or economic misfortune, evoked the major share of foreign charity last year when the amount given by the United States the largest since 1881 Remttances to aid persecuted Jews increased by than half last year, with total of $11,100, 900 sent abroad to aid resettle, and rehabtae the

MONDAY, ArRYl I5


 This is a date fortunate for avi- ation which should benefit great ly under this cnnfiguration. Mer- chants may have some sort of dis appointment due to trade agree ments of far-reaching effect. Com merce is to be greatly expanded during summer months when there will be continued prosperity in the United States.
 Heart and Home: This is not a lucky day for women, especially those who seek employment. The stars may seem to frown upon the ambitions of young girls. This is a date for practical work in the household or the classroom. The seers emphasize the importance of careful training along lines of value in public service. Women of all ages should practice thrift by shop ping carefully and saving wisely.
 Business Affairs: Air condition ing, radio improvements and other modern departments of industry will be profitable as science intro duces novel discoveries and inven- tions. Prosperity will be fair through the summer, although per- iods of inactivity will be experi- enced in many commercial lines. Money will circulate freely after midsummer.
 National Issues: Subversive &C., tivities will be widespread in the United States where spies will bore under many institutions and pene- trate into manufacturing plants. Danger of becoming too suspicious of ones neighbors is foreseen. The seers warn against prejudices that are due to subtle propaganda. Edi- tors may be wary but nevertheless instrumental in spreading fears where confidence should be en- couraged.
 International Affairs: Rumania is under portents of supreme peril for King Carol and his people. The stars are read as indicating for Rumania continued anxiety until the autumn of 1943, a time when there will be for Europe decisive events in which the wheel of for tune will bring about amazing rev. olutions. Then the United States will be foremost among world pow CTS, it is prophesied.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happy fortune. Unexpected good luck is indicated. Loss through bad man agement must be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be high-strung, talented and sensitive. These Arians may be gifted but difficult to direct.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
SUNDAY, APRIL IA

Friendly stars dominate today after the early morning hours There is sign indicating anxiety regarding material things on day when thought should be turned toward church worship. Religious interest will be keen all through the year, but strange cults will attract many students of the oc- cult.
 Heart and Home: Transition presaged by the stars will be mani l fested in family relations in which home ties become more sacred as they are broken. The coming sum- mer is to bring about much up- heaval in domestic life throughout the United States, and for that reason each day should be made memorable by kindly acts. This is date for thoughtful planning with regard to future events fore shadowed in press and radio re- ports.
 Business Affairs: Travel in the United States will increase in com- ing months when national restless ness will bring profit to transpor- tation companies. Trade will be good and the inclination to spend money will be strong. The tenden- cy to enjoy today without care for the morrow will affect young folk. The summer will be event. ful with unusual experiences.
 National Issues: Employment for great numbers of well-trained young men and women is forecast for coming months, when older persons in positions of responSi- bility will be retired by banks and manufacturing plants. Pensions will assume increased importance even though statesmen are weary of agitation regarding them. Embar- rassment for one of the political parties is indicated as the con- vention date draws near.
 International Affairs: Canada is to be prosperous through the sum- mer, but government changes ap- parently will swing toward conserv- ative policies. A newspaper scan- dal is forecast. Railway accidents may be the result of sabotage. Eric tion with the United States will be encouraged by subversive inter- ests, but will not have serious re- suits. India continues under evil portents presaging unrest and agi- tation regarding independence.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of def mite gain and progress. Inheritanc- es will come to an unusual num- Der of women who start new year today.
 Children born on this day should be strong in minds and bodies. These Arians may have artistic talent or literary ability.

The Why of Thailand

 We have received a moving appeal from the Commissioner General for Thaand tSiam to you that we explain why Siam suddenly changed it's name We hasten to respond.
 It seems that long years ago. when trading was scant the Chinese traded with the ex-Samese through a post called "Sayam." For convenience the name became associated with the whole coun- try and later was corrupted to "Siem'-then, es more foreigners to visit-to Siam. However among the natives, the country has always been "Prades Thai'-"Prades" meaning land, and Thai meaning free To facilitate pronunciation, says the Consul General "Thaand" adopted as the of- ficial name
 Henceforth, Thailand stands-for kingdom o1 15OOO0O0 people, brothers of Thai race of about 5OOO0O00 scattered also in adjoining territory Ano aside from the benefits to the home folks, there is at least one gain for us Occidentals We shoulc hear no more of those pun songs-"Oh yes, Siam and others less printable Maybe the world de novel

Any country that you choose:

The land God made for Man
And the right to live the way we

We can't? You bet we can!"
