handed down in his six years on
the Traffic Court bench was given

urday TO motorist who pleaded

the street near his home to pick
up a skipping rope dropped by a
neighbor's child. Later. BraZZell

Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The communique writers in Berlin and Moscow are enjoying field day From their impossible claims and counter claims two facts emerge: the Germans have penetrated Russia as far as the fam Stan line of Qualifications, but in doing they have paid terrible price in men and material.
 Until most of the fighting has taken place terrain which Russia grabbed when she became Germany's ally. Behind this buffer region compris- ing the Baltic states, Poland and Bessarabia is the Stan line of Qualifications on which Russia had worked for years and which she depends for her safety.
 The Stalin line consists of gun emplacements pboxes tank traps, spider holes, machine gun nests to great depth rather than series of underground fortresses like the Maginot line. If it is better than Stalins political line it will crumble under the first assaults
 It is evident from German admissions, that the Russian campaign in these first two weeks has not been an easy undertaking. For the first time Hitler is compelled to large numbers of men and great quantities of material The btzkrieg has failed to work. Reports that the Germans have with drawn endorsements from France and other points in western Europe shows what a gigantic job is a war on 2,000-mle front even with allies like the Films, the Hungarans and the Rumanians and-oh, yes, the Italians.
 This is all to the good for the Allies. The British have been able to continue their bombing of Ger many and German-held Europe almost unopposed. Even if Hitler wins in Russia most observers tcipate, he will emerge from that conflict with less and less equipment than when he went in and consequently weaker What he gains in Russian re- sources will take long time to develop for It would, therefore, be criminal folly not to take mme diate advantage of the time thus gained This ap- plies to the United States equally with Britain.

OUR DEAR READERS

Quite by accident learned from our Circula- tion Manager the other day that among subscribers to The Empire is German Consul General Fritz Wiedemann. We're wondering where to send his paper after he changes his address in the near future from 2O9O Jackson Street, San Francisco
 The German Consulate in San Francisco has subscribed to paper, it develops, for many, many years. Pays promptly too. Just now, Wiedemann is paid up to December 29. 1941.
 Among our other subscribers is the Imperial Japanese Consulate in Seattle which has been talk ing The Empire since 1882 and the Japanese Elm bassy in Washington, a reader since 1887.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, JULY F

Good and evil aspects seem to balance in the horoscope for this Midsummer day. The morning may be facilitating and unfavorable to intensive effort. It is a lucky date for banks and banking.
 HEART AND HOME: The stars encourage average activity in import ant matters. While it is not an aus picious sway for improving or de- veloping future interests letters may bring happy tidings. It is a promis- irig date for love missives, but girls should be careful to avoid decisions affecting future careers It is not a lucky time to say "Yes," to proposal of marriage. The planets aid those who are unselfish in their ambitions Personal aims now should be sub merged as the tide of war rises.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Intense ac- tivity is forecast for all the marts of trade as the wealth of the nation is poured out for the perpetuation of democracy Unavoidable increase of taxes will disturb many persons, but average citizens will realize their responsibilities in a period of great est national emergency. Financial problems will be wisely reviewed with promise of success in Government administration. Demands for Gov ernment bonds will be greater as the days pass. t''
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Appalling expenses incurred for national de- fense will quicken the money-con- sciousness of the people. Economies will be discussedd, but not practiued by either the nation or its citizens.eA dleicate problem of international fin ance will cause anxiety. Far seeing men and women will provide for fur ture contingencies of extreme char acter Despite war influences, how ever, many Americans will enjoy great affluence.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Again the seers warn of peace geS- lures and peace overtures. Negotia- ted peace is under the most menac- ing portents. Treachery and plot ting will be widespread among Axis leaders who will maintain the grand lose idea of world domination despite misleading representions Russia will keep all the Powers guessing while Communism is projected with add ed skill and secret methods. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of excellent prospects. Change and travel are forecast. There should be great hap piness, even in a world of choas. 1 Children born on this day have the greatest possibilities They should be inventive, talented and resourceful endowed with artistic and occult powers with every chance for suc- cess in their careers.

 De Soto failed in this quest as Ponce de Leon failed to find the Fountain of Youth and he died on the banks of the great river that crossed his path His band of adventurers lowered his casket into the dark waters of the Mississippi by night, lest it be harmed by hostile Indians.

With the completion of the exam ination of dairy cows in Juneau by Dr. Earl Graves, Territorial Vetinar- ] ion, two tubercular COWS have been killed because of the danger of pass ing on infection to other uninfected cows
 In conjuction with this action, however, the fact that the Territor- ial legislature did not appropriate enough money for the reimburse ment of the owners has come to light, stated a Department of Health official. The $500, appropriated for this fund has been used up and of necessity the owners of the slaught- cred cattle. will have to wait two years before they can submit loss claims to the legislature.

BOMBERs OVER BERLIN

A fairly accurate picture of the British bombing of Berlin has been obtained from sources inside the Nazi capital. It indicates that although not much damage has been done, the effect on the German people has been considerable.
 German pilots have expressed frank amazement at the ability of British pilots to find Berlin at night, since they fly only by instruments and have to come great deal farther than the short hop which Nazi pi- lots make from France to England. Of course. once the first British planes are over Berlin, Nazi search lights turned on to combat them leave no doubt in the minds of the aviatorS where they are.
 Berlin is ringed by what is suppos- ed to be the greatest anti aircraft defense in the world. However, the Germans send almost no fighter planes into the air to meet the Brit ish, and the anti-air guns have not stopped them. For time the efforts of the guners to find the bombers were so intellectual that Goebbels had to issue a reminder that Ger many's strength lay in offense, not defense.
 The Germans have secret device Tor detecting the approach of air. planes probably similar to the Brit lSh detector and an approaching rad Is known about half an hour m advance. The public does not get the raid alarm until about fifteen minutes in advance. Everyone must De OH the street-not so much for fear Of bombs, but because of falling metal from anti-air shells.

ed between trees, and on the ground are low blue lights to initiate black ed out city. Looking down at night a British flier might think he was over the very center of Berlin.
 Raids over Berlin have been few this summer because the nights are short, and because it is more profit able for the British to bomb the much closer industrial cities in the Ruhr or along the coast.
 NOTE-The roof of the American Embassy in Berlin is made of a fabricated semi-paper substance, SC that member of the Embassy staff has to inspect it periodically during every raid. Someone is on duty day and night in the Embassy.
