PEACEFUL TURKEY

If ever a nations position anomalous, that Of Turkey is today. It not so long ago that the Turks not only the center of conflict in Europe tegic position in the ofpower conflicts which characterized the history of the continent for so many years
 But at the moment Turkey is a neutral happy one if the statements of her Foreign Minister be taken at face value For in addition to having a friendship treaty with Russia and belligerent alliance with Great Britain, the Turks have just con- oluded negotiations which establish ties of close friendship with Germany.
 At the same time the Nazis and Turks have signed commercial treaty under the terms of which agree not to demand the passage of troops or planes or military equipment across Turkey as long as the with Britain goes on.
 There is some suggestion that Turkey will close the Dardanelles to the British and possibly to the Russians and will permit neither to establish air bases on Turkish territory which is to say that Tr key is in position to continue her peaceful pursuits obvious of the events that have made enemies of her closest friends.
 Turkeys neutrality is something that the Amer ican isoationsts must admire. It is such excellent war and that anything that may occur in the Medi- terranean in Europe Asia is none of her busi- ness. a~
 Turkey because of its geographical location at the crossroads of three continents has always beer subjected to rival imperial pressures Chief o these in recent years, of course, have been the Russian

MARSHALL'S RITUAL

Marshall works at terrible pace but he keeps himself in trim. There are no late parties in the home of the Chief of Staff at Fort Myer, just across the river. Here is a typical Marshall day:
 His morning horseback ride is a daily ritual. You can set your watch by the fact that at 6:10 am, the General arrives at the stables of the Tenth Cavalry to mount the horse Trail Blazer" For 50 minutes ht rides along the Potomac on the Vir. glIlia side and returns to bathe anc dress by 7:20.
 Then, after a 20-minute breakfast II is only seven- minute drive acros. the Memorial Bridge to the Muni tions Building, and he is at hi desk before 500.

to that. He does not strut before vlsl- tors with an Oriental fan III ms hand, as did General Douglas Mac Arthur, one of his predecessors. lie flaunts no bemedalled bosom.
 But he has great imagination. When Under Secretary of State Welles asks him to fly to Latin Am erica on goodwill pilgrimage, he grasps the political implications and accepts immediately.
 Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Op- erations, argued for six months be- fore he would invite Latin American naval chiefs to come to the USA, but General Marshall invited Latin American chiefs of staff the minute it was suggested.
 General Johnson Hagood once call ed Marshall the greatest army offi- cer since George Washington and Stonewall Jackson. But that is stretching it. Real fact is that Mar shall has never been tested out in l the command of large masses of troops under fire.
 Luring the last war he served on ] the general staff and performed 8 1 masterful job of plotting out the strategy of St. Mihiel, first offensive in which the U. s. acted as a unit But he is not yet Hannibal, he is so popular on Capitol Hill that many Congressmen would rank Ilim even higher

There IS q good sign preaging pleasant news in letters from relatives or friends. This is lucky date for signing contracts or for enlistment in the Air Force. Army and Navy. There is a sign indicating that girls will be drafted for war work.
 Business Affairs: This is a for tunate rule for publishers. News papers and magazines will be in great demand and will profit, de- spite increased costs of production Fame for many correspondents is forecast. Men and women who re- port wars progress will be recog- nized for heroic work. They will gain power in national affairs as they dare to present facts, pleas ant and otherwise, regarding Gov ernment policies in time of great est tests.
 National Issues: Criticism of Washington will be widespread next month when there will be stubborn opposition to international policies as well as to defense methods. Warning is given by the seers that the fifth column thrives upon we'll meaning patriots who are honest in their theories regarding nation al procedure which risks full par ticipation in wars in Asia and Eu- rope. The stars are read as pres aging rapid increase of the re- responsibilities assumed by the Unit ed States.
 International Affairs: As the summer ends there will be wide- spread discussion of an armistice and peace terms will be outlined in the public press, but the seers warn that there must be no com promise If the security of idemocra- cies is to be assured. Statistics re- garding the frightful loss of life and the immense number of casu- alties will, be released as a means of encouraging cessation of hostih- ties at a time when Hitler will profit.

CANOE ENTHUSIAST

These days appropriations for de- fense come easy, but it any persuas- ion were needed, Marshall could produce it. In the House Appropvia- tions Committee they regard him as the best Chief of Staff in a genera ton.
 Speaking of funds, Marshall him. self says. We used to have all the time and no money; now we have all the money and no time"
 After day of talking with mem bers of Congress, the General Staff foreign military missions, etc., Mar shall goes home to Fort Myer and yields to Mrs. Marshalls suggestion George, you look tired. Let's pack bite and go down on the river"
 So the Chief of Staff and his lady, like any bank clerk and his sWeetie, hire canoe on the Potom- ac and paddle down the river to a quiet spot for picnic supper.

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 bat do rot compel'
SUNDAY, JULY 6


 Adverse planetary aspects rule today It is a time of evil portent for old persons as well as for long established ways of life. The clergy may find congregations preoccu- pied with personal troubles to the exclusion of philanthropic inter eStS.
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration there may be a ten dency to indulge in apprehensions regarding the future of the fam fly under changing world condi- tions. This is a time to bar all ideas that are in the least dis couraging. High hopes in the com ing of better ways of living and more equable distribution of the good things of life should be nur- tured. This is time when the fathers and wage-earners should be encompassed by comforts and good cheer. Sacrifices should be con fronted cheerfully. N
 Business Affairs: New discoveries of valuable minerals are prognosti- cated. Hitherto undeveloped natu- ral resources will become of su- preme significance in national de- fense. Prosperity will encourage widespread ventures in prospecting in western areas. Private enterprise will be profitable, although short, ages in certain tools and pieces of machinery may be felt by manu- lecturers for civilian buyers. Labor troubles will continue to cause de- lays in Government contracts. National Issues: Wise men and women will face facts regarding war with open minds which accept what is inevitable with determina- ton to serve the nation heroically. Plain speaking on the part of men md women who dare to point out defense weaknesses should be heard without resentment, since the na- tional inclination towards happy go-lucky optimism ignores many perils. This is a date for careful elf-analysis and wise appraise- ment of the real duties of citizen ship. .Ea International Affairs: Astrologers long have foretold periods when reverses will be met by Britain and allied forces. The seers prophecy that history must repeat itself in the part which the United States plays in the second world war Dangers to the Western Hemis- phere will multiply before the au- tunn, it is prophesied. The sfinal defeat of the dictators is forecast, but not until terrible price is paid for victory. Waste of men and materials will be great through the entire summer.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- greSs and good fortune. New friends will be many. Temptations toward extravagant spending should be ig- nored.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be kindly in nature and gifted in mentality. They may be too popular for their own best in : terests.

perartment of 30 per cent waste m cantonment construction-and then went cut and proved it. Marshalls reaction to this was unique and re- freshing. Instead of going into a grouch, lie declared, "Engel puts ants in our pants, but he's damn good inspector"
 Get this picture as an indication of Marshall's calibre. It was Army Day, lS40 Troops were marching by the reviewing stand on Constitu- tion Avenue. In the stand, in the full dress uniform of the Army's one and only full-fledged General, stood the Chief of Staff, his hand raised in salute as the flag went by.
 Beside Marshall was that Republi- can gadfly, the fat little Congress man from Michigan. This was the first time Marshall had seen Engel since Engel complained to Harry Woodring, then Secretary of War about the excessive cost of new of ficerS' quarters ($17,500 instead O1 $l4,500, the limit set by law).
 The troops kept marching by, ano Marshall-always a man to do two jobs at once-kept his eyes on the troops, but out of the corner of his mouth, he said candidly to Engel T sent an engineer to inspect those officers quarters you complained about. There was lot of waste, nc doubt about it, and the terrible part of it is the moneys gone'!
 If you ask Gadfly Engel what he thinks of the Chief of Staff, he says T swear by Marshall"
