Englands chances have improved remarkably in the past few weeks according to todays Washington Merry Go Round column printed on the front page of The Empire
 Certainly the day by day communiques, if they be believed would to give the edge in aerial combat to Britain. The unbelievable story of 60 or TO German bomberS being dispersed and driven back across the channel by half dozen Royal Air Force planes has been repeated frequently and insisted upon so determnedy by the British that it begins to sound like the real thing.
 Probably the present aerial warfare is only the small-scale beginning of the bzkrieg which Hitler has promised. Although it is interesting to note that the Italians said the other day that the renl attack England had begun If Hitler has a secret weapon it would it is a secret from his allies as well as from the rest of the world.

STRAINS IN THE WIND

Results Of the first post convention straw poll which has come to our notice show Roosevelt main taning strong lead Willke, although the vote sampling method was so unscientifc that too much faith should not be put in it.
 The Philadelphia Record on the day after Roosevelt's nomination asked the question If the national election held today, would you vote for Roosevelt or Wikie?" of Philadelphians chosen at random from the telephone directory and on the street Of 25 nterrogated by telephone, Is for Roosevelt and 10 for Wilkie Of 36 questioned on the street. 21 were for Roosevelt and Is for Wilkie
 This remember is a random samping of the opinion of the people of the City of Philadelphia only It is interesting to note however that Phila- delphia has not elected Democratic mayor in a lifetime and that Republicans have dominated the City Council continually for the past half cen tluy
 If straw poll were taken in Italy the result would show all but unanimous preference for Wlkie for President of the United States if an edi- torial in the newspaper Messagero of Rome is to be believed Messagero halls the nomination of Wendell Willke as "the spiritual and material preparation Of the United States to participate in the life of the new world" and says the Republicans in their nominee have who is heading the first part of chapter in American history"
 
 Willkie supporters have started chain letter on its rounds in order to gather contributions for the Republican campaign chest One such letter from Walter F Tellier Investment Securities, New York was received by U. S. Senator William H. smathers of New Jersey. It read follows

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JULY 31

WEDNEODA1 I, JO6I oi
 Until late in the evening adverse aspects dominate today. It is a date for proceeding systematically in business affairs, avoiding risks of all sorts. The judgment is untrust- worthy under this configuration.
 Heart and Home: Girls may find this an unfavorable sway for TO- nance. Young men will assume comradeship, but will avoiG love pledges. It is not favorable rule under which women can expect to gain any sort of advantage social or financial. In the evening the stars smile upon households mak~ ing for informal Inequalities and kindly understanding. It is lucky date for women who sign contracts and seems to promise much to those who pursue the arts.
 Business Affairs: Under this con- figuration capitalists may be op- posed to making large investments, because of political uncertainties. Increased taxes will be imperative, but they will be accepted philo- sophically. Trained men and wom- en will be in demand and employ CTS will require extreme efficiency. Labor troubles will interfere with an industry of supreme importance in the preparedness program and will precipitate Government action.
 National Issues: Fifth column ae- tivities will be discovered in politi- cal organizations as well as in manufacturing plants. The SeerS warn that dangers exist where they are least suspected. Inteilectuals will exercise sinister influences upon the young Well-meaning per- sons of all ages will be misled by peace movement camouflages. A network of intrigue will extend through South American countries True patriotism will be preached and practiced by all thinking citi- zens of the United States as they sacrifice personal interests to the public veal. International Affairs: Dangers surrounding the British Navy will be of far-reaching effect Tn tie Uaited States which will eugage ill shipbuilding for the policing ot those high seas formerly patrolled | by fleets of Britain. The passage Of major planets through Ia. a.rIs the ruling sign of Fire, is likely to continue disturbing conditions in Ireland where there will be pro- longed unrest until 1941.
 Persons whose birthdate it Is have the augury of year of gen eral good fortune Discretion in domestic management is recom- mended The young may be fool ishly sentimental.
 Children born on this day are ambitious and industrious and prob ably will be determined to the point of stubborness. Many will be shrewd and tactful, able to accom- plish whatever they think is worth while

Confusion between Juneau time and 135th meridian time has re-. suited in the apprehending of a number of commercial fishermen, according to Acting Alaska Agent Clarence Olson of the Bureau of Fisheries who returned this week from a patrol on the vessel Brant.
 Although it is not the intention of the Bureau to arrest fishermen on mere technicalities, Olson said, the regulations for 1940 state clear ly that 135th meridian time should apply. That is the time standard on which Juneau operated before the recent change. Fishermen ar rested so far or such technicaliti9s have been released with warn ing
 Olson said the Sitka seiner Helen H was fined $240 and forfeited Sli6 worth of salmon for fishing in d restricted area in Long Bay, Tenakee Inlet. A trial was held be- fore U. $. Commissioner Robeft Brown at Hoonah.

Escorted at Philadelphia P''Fl by Brass Band, Mobbed
 for Autoqraph

If you want to know how It feels to be escorted around town by Q brass band and to be mobbed by autograph hunters-ask R. E. Ro- bertson.
 The Juneau attorney had that experience quite by accident in Philadelphia two weeks ago when he attended the Republican Nation al Convention.
 Robertson tells it this way: -'
 With Cash Cole of Juneau and Jack Clawson of Cordova. he was riding with Philadelphia friends along one of the narrow one way streets in the City of Brotherly Love when their car was slowed by a traffic jam ahead After au tomobiles in front of them had turned off into various sidestreets, the Alaskans 9)und themselves right behind one of the convention bands, which turned down the very street for which the travel CTS were heading and stopped in front of the hotel at which Ro- bertson, Cole and Clawson were staying.
 Such Us Fame
 By this time crowd had lined the curbs to cheer and applaud the Alaskans' car, which they took to be that of one of the principal Republican candidates.
 When Robertson got out he was almost knocked off his feet by au- tograph seekers. He says he doesn't know. who they took him for, but that he had some difficulty in con- vincing them he was just Re- publican from Alaska.
 Enjoyed Convention
 Although his delegation was not seated at the convention, Robert son says he enjoyed the session greatly, nevertheless. He said today he is still absolutely confident o,ir not being seated was due to a misconstruction Of the rules. On | the merits of the contest I am equally satisfied we were entitled to be seated
 l Robertson flew from Seattle Gc New York. He said that it was g real thrill tc come down out O. the clouds and circle the tall Man hattan buildings before landing a LaGuardia Field. In New York Ii, met Jim Gaffney, formerly o Nome, now Gotham hotel mana ger.
 In Chicago he saw Carl Druetzel lawyer and mining man who make frequent trips to the Territory, an, Max Humpheries, formerly of 'Ju neau.
