ITALY HESITATES

Ever since the first German successes in Scandi-
navia Mussoni has been weighing a tremendous
choice The ups and downs of the controlled press
in Italy merely reflect the doubt that clearly
grips the mind of the dictator in the Paazo Venezia
Last September Mussolini considered the pros
poets and decided to leave his axis partner to fight
alone Now he wonders again whether to jump onto
the German bandwagon, his assumption
that the Germans are likely to win the
In his birthday message to Hitler, the Duce ex-
pressed his definite confidence that the German
people will VIGOROUSLY stand the great test under
which it has been placed" This may have been
wish it may have been cool calculation; it may, also,
have been nothing more than gesture to please the
fellow-dictator in Berlin.
In any case wishes and gestures will not deter
mine Italys decision. The choice of whether not
to go to war will depend on whether the Germans
are winning, and in Italy's opinion winning beyond
a shadow of doubt. For italy is determined appar-
entity, to be in the winning side.
Signor Ansado the editor of the TELEGRAPH Of
Leghorn could hardly have been more candid when
he wrote of the .nevtable" carvng-up of territory
and the monopoliation "all the worlds resources
by the victors whenever this is over. only if
Italy is really strong will she be among the vctors,"
he wrote 1t does not seem to have occurred to him
that victorious Germany might seize all the spoils
and leave only few crumbs for Italy, regardless
of the part she may have played The italian argu-
ment is that Italy must be ready for war at any
moment and must jump in on the vctor's side some
time before peace is made
Yet if anything is automatic in the present stu
alton it is that Italy appallngly unready for war
on either side Arrival of the British fleet in heavy
concentration in the Mediterranean makes her even
less ready to throw her lot with Germany in full
military alliance Since September Italy has been
busy at good profit, making shoes and uniforms
for the French Army No supplies or equipment have
been piled up at home. Until now not the slightest
effort has been made to prepare the country physi-
caly or psychologically for war
Italy is peculiarly vulnerable to blockade by a

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compN
WEDNESDAY, MAY 8

Benefio aspects dominate today
which should be fortunate for free
dom of action and direction of poll
cies by persons who exercise au
thority. The morning hours encour-
age initiative 1t is fairly promising
for those who sign legal documents.
Heart and Home Although the
evening is favorable for girls in
terested in romance this is distinc-
lively a mans day. The head of
the household may be preoccupied
and should be treated tactfully.
The stars smile upon. the Ameri-
can home in which women attend
strictly to domestic tasks. There
is good sign for entertaining and
for shopping.
Business Affairs: Under this con-
figuration there should be release
from uncertainties that hamper en-
terprise The sway encourages the
elimination of anything superfluous
and the establishment of system
and order. Business methods will
be advocated for Government. The
stars are most propitious for Am
erican progress and prosperity. This
is lucky day for launching new
enterprises M
National Issues: Construction sof
many sorts will be stimulated by
persons DESTROYS of improving eco
nomic conditions which will greatly
affect the election of a President
Unemployment will be less serious
as summer advances. Scarcity, of
trained men in certain trades will
cause criticism of labor unions
which curtail competition.
International Affairs: There is
sign read as inclining certain Euro
peans toward the reestabhshment
of monarchial government. AL
though the stars presage the fall
of dictators there appears to be
indication of reaction toward de-
mocracies. When peace is finally
attained employment of discharged
soldiers is to become overwhelming
in its difficulties.
Persons whose birthdate it IS
have the augury of a year of events
that are exceedingly instructive to
both men and women Success may
be expected in financial matters.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be definite in ambitions
and determined in character. They
may be reserved, and reticent,, COZ
corning personal affairs but deeply
friends.

GAME COMMISSION.
TO BUY TWO new
PATROL AIRpLANE5
Appropriation Is Increased
S24,202 This Year
by Congress

The Alaska Game Commissions
appropriation for the next fiscal
year will be $155,000 which is an in
crease of $24,202 over the present
amount, Executive Officer Frank
Dufresne announced today after re-
ceiving word the Senate had passed
the bill. The House had already
given its approval.
Two new airplanes for use of the
Game Commission will be purchased
out of the increase. Dufresne said.
One will be used in the Interior ana
one in Southeast Alaska. They will
be specially-fitted four-place planes
I'VE have found airplanes not only
much more efficient than other
means of conveyance but also more
economical" Dufresne said.

A Census of Fish
(Philadelphia Record

If you think that you guinea pig when
Uncle Sam took the census and counted you.
Well, observe the plans for census of the
tons fish. program has been submitted to the
Bureau of Hatcheres for method of taking
fish census.
"All you have to do is stun them with electricity
and keep them shocked until they've been weighed,
marked and MIXED of necessary information; then
you unshock them and let them go about their
business"
Judging from the walls of Senator Tobey-
where's he gone lately, anyway?-thats merely
copying the method used on you and you and !!
1t remains to be whether the humane socie-
ties are more successful in stopping the fish census
than Tobey with the regular census.
