HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bot do not compel"
TUESDAY, JULY Il

TUESDAY, JULY a1e
 Benefic aspects rule today. which may be exceedingly eventful in con- flicts on land and sea- Labor is under favorable rule of the stars
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to stimulating and fortu- nate planetary influences today which should be favorable for men, tai effort and wise decisions. The stars encourage development in novel fields of activity. Girls will be inducted into many branches of public service. Under this Sway care to avoid deception should be exercised. Danger in employing per- sons more interested in adventure than in serious work is indicated for women in executive positions under the Government.
 Business Affairs As prosperity prevails there will be a rise in the cost of living which will cause an- xiety among persons of average means, for taxes are to be a heavy burden. Corporations and million aires will contribute vast sums to the Federal Government as the cost of defense preparations and the maintenance of thousands of men in training camps increases. Cities will be centers of unusual business activity and rentals will be e'high, despite efforts to keep thef1| at lower levels.
 National Issues: Warning is given that harsh judgment should be avoided where men with foresight insist upon presenting the diff culties confronting the United States. Astrologers forecast inevi- table entrance into active paftici- patton in the world conflict. They prognosticate splendid achievements on sea and land, but they predict that there may be heavy price for too much, optimism regarding American preparedness to meet ter rible tests.
 International Affairs: Both Mars and Neptune today presage conflict which may be intense in midsum- mer. The stars indicate an awaken ing in the United States to the po- tentialities of world war in it's eff feet upon the Americas. According to astrologers, isolation and neu- tralty have been impossible from the beginning of Hitler's aggres- sion. Midsummer is to develop amazing world conditions that in volve all nations with peace ce-lovers as the most coveted Nazi victims.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- gross and widening interests. Cas- ual friendships may not be fortu- nate.
 Children born on this day, should be strong in personality and es- pecially talented. They may .e be emotional and should be- taught self control. s,,.sSy

TANKS

Tn the opinion of U. s. Army chiefs, boring over their pin-marked maps in the War College, the out come of the Russo-G German war will be decided by the armored tank. The fate of Europe, and perhaps the world, is being hammered out by the opposing Swarms of these deadly monsters.
 Accurate data on tank strength are one of the most vital items of military information, Regarding German strength, U. S. Intelligence has compiled what they believe is an accurate picture of a very formid- able force, numbering close to 1000 small, medium and heavy tanks.
 At the time the Nazis swept through the Lowlands and France they had 16 armored divisions, with about 400 tanks per division-a total of 6.400 Since then, the Germans have added four more armored di- visions, which they call "Libyan Di- visions" These are operating in North Africa and their tank strength is considerably less than the other divisions, probably not more than 15O per division.

HISTORY OF UNITY

In the 165-year history of the United States the republic has been confronted by many crises and at time has there been complete unity of thought among the people as to how to deal with them, We are indebted to Prom. John Philip Trozel of Dart mouth College for pointing out that most of the critical periods in nations history were charac- terized by lack of unity which was far more ser- ous and disturbing than the cries now raised by the Lindberghs the Weeers and the Tafts against the policies established by the Government for dealing with the menace of Hitlers dreams of world domina- ton.
 During the Revolutionary period substantial number of the residents of the 13 colonies op posed to the war with England These loyalists thought the differences with England could be set tied by negotiation and they regarded the American patriots as bloodthirsty lawless rebels Even after the for independence was won, disagreement over the kind of union that should be formed almost wrecked the republic.
 In 1861 the country far more disunited than it is today not only in the sense that there was a clash between the North and the South, but also that the North itself was divided what to pursue
 The outgoing President, Buchanan, had ex- pressed the belief that the Federal Government had no power to compel the States to remain in the Union; Ex-President Pierce had predicted that if the North resisted secession by force there would De bloodshed> in the streets of northern cities; a majority of Lncon's Cabinet opposed the dispatch of armed forces to relieve Fort Sumter.
 Throughout the the defeatist elements screamed and railed against the Lincoln admins tration. A southern sympathizer, valladngham, was nominated for Governor by the Democrats of Ohio; Gov. Seymour of New York warned that the Nation faced destruction copperheads flourshed in the bor der States and Federal troops required to put down the draft riots in New York City.

U. S. GOING PLACES

In tank production capacity, Nazi might is equally formidable. This much is definitely known: Germany has a monthly output capable of re- plenishing normal" battle losses, estimated at 17h per cent per di- vision, for three or four divisions about 270 tanks. In addition, the Germans have been building up a reserve of 167 tanks month.
 For military reasons, U. s. tank production cannot be disclosed.
 However, this much can be stated . By this time next year we will be turning out enough tanks of all types per month to equip at least two divisions. superior in size and firepower to the most powerful in the world.
 So far tank contracts total $23O,- 10000, divided about equally be- tween light and medium vehicles Pilot models for giant heavy tanks are in the experimental stage. U & tanks so far produced have the strongest armor in use and are so

RADIOS BLACKOUT

LoudeSt squawker about the free dom of the ether has been Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.
 When a radio station in Philadel- phia. failed to carry a Lindbergh broadcast, Wheeler went so far as to propose that its license beirescinded. And as Chairman of the Senate In- terstate Com merce Committee, Wheeler keeps the radio networks in a constant dither. In fact, some radio chains will scarcely let an unfavorable word about Wheeler be said over the air.
 In view of this, 1t is ironic that the first real radio blackout oc- cured in Wheeler's home state, when Walter Winchell's popular, patriotic Sunday night program was banned from the air.
 Furthrmore, the three Montana stations which banned Winchell are operated by Ed Craney and Barclay Craighead, two of Senator Wheeler's close associates.
 Craighead, President of Helena's station KPFA, is Wheeler's ex-secre- tary, and in addition to being a radio operator, is Chairman of the Montana State Unemployment Com mission at $5,200-a job which is de- pendent upon Federal funds. Craig head also has small interest in the Buttee and Bozetnan stations which blacked out Winchell.
 Craney,. Manager of KGIR. Butte, has travelled with Wheeler on isola- tionist lecture trips. Craney and Craighead now have applied to the Federal Communications Commis- sion forA a New radio station in Butte.

difficult since Hitler carefully chose a period before the wheat was ripe and before it could be burned.
 It was this destruction of every thing in the path of Napoleons' army which really defeated him. But in all previous Nazi victories, their armies have advanced so rap idly that the enemy had no time to destroy anything. The thrifty French hesitatad to destroy their buildings, their crops, their we'll paved orads, but the less thrifty Russians probably will not hesitate
 U s. strategists are certain Hitler will take the Ukraine and the areas around Leningrad within a short time. However, if the Soviet army Is able to fall back beyond thoSei areas, and can keep its forces in tact, then Hitler will never be able to turn his back on Russia.
 At present, betting among Wash ington military experts is that after some of the toughest fighting this war has seen the Russians will. be pushed back, in some cases close to the ural Mountains. There are no bets at present regarding the even tual surrender of the Russian army.

Control of Futs and Oils

The action of President Roosevelt
in placing fats and oils under export
control, effective April fifteenth, will
be welcomed as another move to
deny Germany our economic aid in
her war against Britain. Following
the steps taken earlier this year to
subject copra, coconut oil and glyc-
erin to export licenses, the recent
proclamation of the President now
gives the Government the authority
to ban shipments of a large number
of other commodities, falling under
the general classification of fats and
oils, if there is reason to believe that
these will reach the axis, or if ban
on exports is needed in the interest
of our own national defense.
A deficiency in fats and oils has
long been recognized as one of Ger
many'S major economic weaknesses.
In 1888 the Reich imported approx
mately 100000 tons of fats and oils,
according to Department of Com
merce estimates. Since the British
blockade has cut her off from over
seas sources of supply, Germany
has been looking elsewhere for the
fats and oils needed for her indus
tries and her war machine.
An examination of recent export
figures plainly indicates that sub
stantial quantities of fats and oils
from the United States and the Phil
ippines have been reaching Ger
many. Japan and Russia have been
buying large amounts of copra and
coconut oil from the Philippines,
though neither country, in ordinary
times, has found it necessary to i'm
port coconut oil or copra in any VOL
ume. In February, 25,000,0c0 pounds
of coconut oil were shipped from the
West Coast to Vladivostok.

Political Pressure?

Many ingenious alibis are offered in
magistrates courts to avoid the pen
atty for minor peccadilloes. The ex-
cuses range from the pathetic to the
ludicrous, but are usually so familiar
to the magistrate that he merely
yawns from boredom, levies a fine,
and cries Next"
It was different the other day in a
Coney Island court when jeff Davis
appeared before the bar, represented
by his spokesman, Joseph Alexander.
Joe asked for his clients discharge
solely on the grounds that he, jeff
Davis, had campaigned loyalty for
Roosevelt in the last election, al
though by a quirk of fate debarred
from actually voting. Photographs
and newspaper clippings were pro-
duced in proof, telling of, and show
ing Jeff carrying signs urging his
reelection. The judge, much i'm
pressed, suspended sentence.
Lest there be great outcry against
rank political favoritism, perhaps a
simple explanation is in ordar. JEFF
Davis was merely charged with fail
ure to wear a muzzle, and for such
trifie his honor did not think it
necessary to put the bite on mans
best friend, the dog.

Letter From Bereaved Father
Shows Britain Is Britain Still.

To the Editor OF Inc star:
I send you herewith a copy of letter
from a friend in London, to whom 1
recently addressed an expression of my
sympathy in the death of his son, killed
on active service. The fathers reply
is so typlcally British in this hour of
Britains ordeal that I thought you
might wish to print It, K.
Editors note: The communication re-
ferred to reads as follows:
Dear K: The loss which we have
experienced is rather common to
our people at this time, and I am
afraid that this will be intensified
until the war is over
Under the circumstances it is
necessary, in order to maintain our
resistance and esprit, to put on one
side our private sorrows, so that the
whole OF our energy-physical, ner-
vous and spiritual-shall be thrown
into the effort which now is being
made to attain our goal. I have no
doubt that we shall succeed, as also
we fully realize all that is involved.
BY thic I mean that we are pre-
pared tc sacrifice everything rather
than submit to the domination of the
foul doctrines which are character
lied as Nazism and Fascism
We are encouraged in pursuing
this difficult and tragic road by the
great snG growing understanding Of
your people, as also the tangible
expression which Is being given, and
