make it impossible for the NaA army to- subsist in Russia.
 It should be remembered that the Russians have been trained for years in the policy of the scorched earth. The British left Rumania without blowing up Rumanian oil wells because British pounds sterl- ing were invested in them. British investments came first. And the French would not tear up their beautifully paved roads in front of the advancing NaZ hordeS. The improvements of La Belle France came first.
 But in Russia, the first thing the peasant does when an enemy advances is to kill a pig and throw it in the we'll That spells the drink ing water for the enemy. Then he burns his barn and drives away or kills his livestock, which are far more precious to him than divi- dends from Rumanian oil wells are to the British. He and his family may starve. but his forefathers have been doing this for genera tions, and he will do 1t again.
 The Russian peasant also has been trained to guerilla warfare, which, however. will not help in this war. Guerilla fighting against mod- ern airplanes and tanks is about as effective as the Dead End kids resisting J. Edgar Hoover's G-Men.
 Note-The real answer to wheth- CT Russia can hold out over long period lies in whether she has any important airplane and munitions factories west of the Ural Mount aims. No army today can fight with out modern weapons.

THE TANKS ARE ROLLING

Most significant development in national defense is that at long last we are producing in quantity tanks, anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns and other mechanical weapons which have been the strength of the Germans.
 Up to now the chief emphasis in national defense has been on CD air, @ the sea, and (3) the machine tools and factories for future pro- auction. Tanks were seventh on the priorities list while anti-aircraft guns were only little ahead of them.
 Now, however, the airplanes pro- gram is well launched and if the es- sential metals can be obtained should increase monthly. Also the shipping program is in fairly good shape. And last week the first med :

 What will happen after the war remains to be seen. But both count- ries took the attitude: Let's win the war first"
 Note-A hitch immediately arose to stop the use of the Danish ships when the Maritime Union demapd- ed that Danish seamen join the un- ion, pay dues and receive union wag- es. This hitch is not expected to Joe serious.

TIES OF BRITISH EMPIRE

One of the hardest things the British have had to do in this war is to relinquish their century-old steamship lines and other communi- cations with various parts of the far-flung Empire. Despite a grow ing scarcity of bottoms to carry lend-lease goods across the North Atlntic, the British have hesitat- ed at giving up these traditional routes which made the British En- pire what it was.
 Last week, however, came an im- portant and unannounced step in this direction. Two British lines to New Zealand and Australia, the Manx Line and the Union Steam ship Company. took their ships off that run and sent them into the dangerous North Atlantic.
 This move was made only afte, considerable pressure from the U s. Maritime Commission, which in. .sisted on the transfer. Simultan. eously, Danish ships were allotted

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not con,pe"
TUESDAY, JULY 22

Benefic aspects rule today which is most fortunate for women. La bor and capital are under a config- uration which encourages co-opera- tion. < M T
 HEART AND HOME: Women should use their best mental and physical energies under this. sway which is helpful to practical tasks and stimulates intellectual process ses. Although there is sign that indicates extremely warm weather in many places, there should be ac- tivity in whatever is of importance in the family. The stars seem to pre- sage many nasty and ill-timed love affairs which cause anxieey to par ents. The tendency of young folk to ignore family traditions as well as economic considerations. will be marked. The seers long have warn ed that after the war Americans will practice unheard-of thrift as many pleasant ways of life become impossible to average families.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wide spread rise in wages in all lines of industry vii greatly increase the cost of living before the Autumn. Imitation will be discussed as a menace that constantly becomes more probable, but the stars are read as forecaSting remarkable stabilizing of finance through Government direction. Fluctuations in the value of stocks and bonds may be sharp next mnoth. Money will be spent generously for vaca- tions tours which bring profit to many states. 18 .i3 ii ,;
 NATIONAL ISSUES Lackn of consistency in policies originating ill Washington will be critized sep- erely by those who do not compre- hend the changing pattern of world affairs. The stars are read as pre- saging bizarre and inconceiyable events which will continue to make the second world war the most amazing conflict in history. There are signs of long -drawn-out strug- gles that constantly widen in iex- tent as they touch territory, that commands protection from the Un- ited States.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: Diplomatic complications will en- gage attention in Washington where there is likely to be much confusion Nas well as intense activity. Con- centration of power, despite innum- erable defense organizations, will cause delays. There are planetary influences that tend to cause per- plexity and even indecision on the part of the President. Foreign poll icy is to become more and more definite as desperate conditions compel Americans to reverse their previous decision to avoid positive entry into the world war.
 Persons whose birthdate it is should be cautious in all their fin- ancial interests. While good fortune is forecast for the year there may be nerve strain through lossesJ Children born on this day prob ably will be mentally keen, strong in character and determined in ann bitions. They will be fond of change and travel.

Borican Seems Sure
To Capture A. A. u.
DecathIon Title
Holds Big Lead, Likely
To Increase 1t Over
Three Rivals Today
BY the Associated Press.

BRIDGETON, N. j., July "A
home town boy appeared headed for
the National A. A. U. decathlon
championship today in the windup
of the lO-event program.
Bridgeton's John Borican, lean
Negro star now competing for the
Asbury Park IN. j. A. c., won three
first places in yesterdays five events
and ranked an odds-on favorite to
annex at least one more first this
afternoon.
Holder of the worlds 600-yard and
1.OO0-yard records, Borican was ex-
pected to win easily the 1,500-meter
run and possibly the 100-meter
hurdles. Other remaining events are
the javelin, discus and pole vault.
Only four athletes were left in the
competition after Indiana Univer-
sity's Archie Harris dropped out
after competing in four events yes
terday. Following Borican, who
complied 3,407 points, were Uyval c.
Jones, University of Michigan, 3,282
points: Joshua Williamson, Newark,
N. j., former Zavier New Orleans)
College, 3,251, and Howard Jensen,
Temple University, 2,763.
Borican won the 100-meter dash,
in lib seconds: the broad jump, with
q feet 7 inches, and the 400-meter
dash in 81 seconds. Jones, who
finished fourth in last years de-
cathlon, won the high jump with a
leap of 5 feet 1034 inches, and Harris,
national discus champion, won the
shotput with heave of A feet 4
inches.
