THURSDAY, JULY "a

Adverse planetary aspects are
active today. but there is a sign
promising courage and philoso-
ply IN the acceptance of I'M
toward events.
Heart and Home: This is a
day when common sense should
rule This means that IN.
family should make the
mos of every chance for
pleasure as well as profit.
The head should rule the heart
where romance Is concerned. II
Ia promising sway for girls
who make new acquaintance.
There are signs read as promis-
ing much happiness for young
folk. even though CONSUMPTION
and defense training present
certain Disappointing conditions.
Scarcity of young men in sum-
mer resorts will be evident, but
girls win concentrate upon war
tasks that absorb time and at
tenion
Business Affairs: Under
this configurauon there may be
obstacles In the way Of finan-
ciers who plan for the great
costs Of defense preparations.
Warning is given that fifth col
umn propaganda will accent
prejudice against capitalists.
National Issues: The luna
ton of eh.e date finds Saturn

tugal now will be prominent in
European news. Some trouble
with Great Britain IL foreseen.
Persons whose birthdate IT is
have the augury OF a year of
good fortune and there may be
much travel. II is wise TO watch
ones correspondence, both BUSH
ness and social.
Children born on this day
probably will be lucky and sue
cessful in their careers. Boys
may be inventive and resource
full: girls are likely TO be original
and intelligent, independent and
stubborn.

Hitler's original scheme OF con-
quest fitted IN with Germanys
historic ambition Of Mittel-
europa Empire stretching from
Berlin to Bagdad. He was
thrown off balance the first
time when England and France
declared war. He had accepted
Won Ribbentrop's advice that
they would let him push to the
east without intervening. His
plans were upset a second time
when Mussolini invaded Greece.
Left to his own battle blue
prints, Hitler would have tried
to crush Moscow before moving
into the Balkins. Permanent re-
moval of Russian pressure in
that and the Turkish area was
vital TO consolidation of his
Central European empire.
III Duce's rash move ruined
Hitler's timetable. He had plan
ned To drive against Stain in
April, which would have given
him six months for operations
before rains and snow descended
upon the Russian plains, This
way he had only 90 days, The
early conquest OF the Soviet
would have given him the Bal
ksns without firing a shot. With
food. minerals and oil from that
region. he figured that he could
then stand off any alliance of
enemies. including the L. s.

there are not two fronts" for
the reason that Britain has not
sufficient manpower TO attack
except through the air. And he
believed he could endure some
aerial strafing for the period
required to knock out Russia.
But this current campaign still
may be his fatal setback. despite
preliminary successes. II smart
