.sHUTTLING THE NAVY

The thing which has worried U 8. Admirals for some time is wha1 they call shutting; that is taking part of the fleet from the Pacific to the Atlantic to meet danger 1T the East, then back to the Pacific te meet new danger in the West This, Admirals feared, woule merely keep the fleet on the high seas, using up fuel in game as profitable as "fox and geese"
 And this. obviously is what the Japanese with their Nazi allies) are trying to trap us into doing.
 However, although it remains a fact that part of the Pacific fleet has gone into the Atlantic to helr patrol, nevertheless, the United States finds itself in better posi- tion than the Admirals some months ago expected.
 Here are the reasons:
 1st. we have acquired some em- ergency naval bases in the Dutch East Indies, and it may be that one or two U. s. ships might dror in on these bases from time te time.
 End, we have been concentrating long range bombers in the Philip pines and the islands of the Pacific The Japanese know this, and il worries them almost more than anything else. These bombers easily can fly from Manila to Tokyo anc back again.
 3rd, we took the precaution oi placing strong submarine force il and around the Philippines. Anc submarines can disrupt Japanese troop ships. tankers, supply ships more than any other type ol weapon.
 4th, the fertilization of various Pacific islands -. Guam, Midway Wake, and crucial bases in the Phil ippines-has been proceeding at a tremendous speed.

MONDAY, AUGUST 4

This is day of extraordinary promise for women who are subject to a benefic aspect of great sig nificance. Not a minute should be lost by girls who have important ambitions.
 HEART AN DHOME:: As the week begins there should be de- mand for trained women in many vacations that contribute to war needs. Chemists will prove ability Of a higher order. Girls will become expert machinists. In positions of many sorts young women will dem- onstrate that their brains and hands are capable of splendid ser vice to the nation. This is a date of supreme significance to lovers. Romance will flower and engage ments will multiply, but nasty mar riages are forbidden by the stars. The configuration presages much Tor players of the stage and screen.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Heavy storms and unusual drought will cause heavy losses to agriculture in various regions widely separated Again the power problem will men, ace factories engaged on Govern ment contracts. While there will be leVerlsh activity in the marts of trade east and west. many extra ordinary obstacles will retard or even frustrate time schedules in sim- portant production. Despite precau- tions, threats and watchfulness by Uncle Sam, supplies will leak into enemy possession from this country.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Emergency operation of private plants will be

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do mot compel"
SUNDAY, AUGUST 3

Benefic aspects rule the early part of today which is most fortun- ate for the clergy. Certain sects now will predict the end of an era and the approach of the millen- nium.
 HEART AND HOME: Many false prophets will gain followings at this period when there will be striving for spiritual enlight- enment. Among occultists extra sensory perception will be attained. The power of thought which bridges widely recognized as the religion of the stars demonstrates the truths i it represents. Women will awaken to their hidden powers, but they are warned against accepting cults that have no foundation in everlasting truth.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Prosper ity will continue as the magnificent resources of the United States are revealed under extreme pressure. Warning is given against all forms of exploitation for individual gain. Astrologers long have cache d thrift and now they urge that wis., dom be applied to all economics. Many penny wise and pound foolish devices will be suggested, but all hysterical efforts toward unneces- sary sacrifice will prove most dafi- gerous. The stars indicate that dis content may be sown through ill., advised quotas.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: True deln- ocracy now will be necessary as persons of all degrees of wealth con- tribute to the Government defense funds. Taxes will rise to great heights and must be accepted phil- oscphically. Waste, however, will be resented and the cost of Govern ment as it concerns the usual city, county and state machinery must be reduced. Reorganization of many branches conducting civil affairs is prognosticated.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: To the increasing influence of tn e planet Pluto is attributed many of the worlds woes, for this most rec ently known of all ahe planets is supported to divide the world into two opposing factions. The stars indicate that the United States will be able to resist any foe attacking from the outside, but because the chaotic Neptune is in opposition to the Sun in every Sun cycle until after 1949. the seers warn of dangers from enemies from within.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of brieht fortunes. Great activity which in- cludes travel or change may De expected.
 Children born on this day may achieve not only success but last- ing fame. They will possess strong character and brilliant mentality,

Warning is given that the auverse influence of Neptune may encourage the spread of the defeat ist complex which will be carefully nursed by fifth column agencies. The only hope of conquering us that any hostile power can have is through the poison of propaganda
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: There is sign read as presaging trouble among the Nazis close to Hitler. This month may reveal am- aging changes in the personnel that guides German war policies. There may be a new democratic party now simmering secretly among the German people and also there is coup by Stalin strongly indicated. This is a period of evil portent that may have some grave rea.izations in all parts of the war-torn world.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Friendships and love affairs will flourish.
 Children born on this day have the forecast of great happiness. They will be highly intellectual and exceedingly forceful The borth- rate may be unusually high.

Continuing the Struggle
(The Cincinnati Enquirer)

(The Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Although Norway has been possessed physically by Hitler, with all her free leaders either seized by the Gestapo forced into exile, the gallant Scandi navian nation has not permitted her ndomitable spirit to be crushed by the Nazi tyranny. Although the pressure upon her is heavy and the penalties exacted for resistance severe Norway making valu able contributions to the effort against Nazism.
 Of the greatest importance is the Norwegian Navy, which is playing dramatic and effective role in the battle of the Atlantic. Norway's merchant shipping manned by 25OOO sailors still sails the seas ment in London.
 In British and Canadian training camps Norwe- gan citizens discplining themselves to continue the war. Expertly trained Morse pilots gunners mechanics and ground from Camp Little Norway in Toronto arriving overseas in in- creasing numbers. Some of these airmen have action for considerable length of time, but their number now being augmented sharply.
 In Norway itself, although the Nazis ruthlessly expropriating Norwegian industries and draining the country all its wealth. the spirit of the people remains unconquerable recent example concerns the appointment of NaZi director of Oslo sports club Of the clubs 800 members 764 resigned immediately. That takes high courage. Multiplied thousandfold it is indication of the unremitting resistance to Nazism which the Norwegian people fearlessy maintaining.
 As the Norwegian Minister to the United States phrased it, Here is order different in practice from the abomnation Hitler would force upon an unwilling world In Norway brute force has suf- fered an theological defeat Never in their history have the Norwegian people been worthy of honor than today"

 GOOD NEIGHBOR FRAUDS
 In few weeks the Post Office Department will give a new twist to the blacklist of Axis agents in Latin America.
 Postal authorities will indict a bunch of U s. operators who have been using the Good Neighbor pol icy to defraud Latin Americans out Of large sums of money.
 The racket was an ingenious one. Posing as mail-order houses, the crooks flooded Latin American papers with ads offering at cut prices goods formerly supplied by German and Italian firms. In each instance the ad required the buyer to send payment in advance. Some of the promotions were on huge scale. One advertisement which offered sets of self fitting" false teeth for $l0 brought hundreds Of responses. Another which offered a well-known patent medicine net ted the racketeers more than s50.OO0.
