lfil HOROSCOPE. "The stars incline .ss-
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is

WEONESDAY, JUNE l6
 Sinister portents appear in the horoscope for today. Bad news which should stimulate defense ef- forts is prognosticated. Mars is in threatening sway. fh 'r
 Heart and Home: Women are under adverse influences while this configuration prevails. They may reflect the depression caused by war developments and may be prey to apprehensionS concerning the men of their families who are in the service. The seers emphasize the need of persistent optimism as women perform tasks that aid the nation and the Allies. According to readings of the stars final victory belongs to the democracies, but not until supreme sacrifice and invin- cible courage have been offered by Americans. The late hours on this date are favorable to constructive tasks
 Business Affairs: In the rising prosperity home building and mo- torcar buying will be extensive, even though prices of materials may soar. The tendency to enjoy to the full all that remains or Am erican comforts and luxuries will be widespread. Because the mor- row is menacing to many they will decide to make the most of today. For that reason travel in the Unit ed States will bring large profits to transportation companies fland resort hotels. Vacation days twill be memorable for generous spand- ing. ek aT s,naispgii.i
 National Issues: While this plane- tary government prevails criticism of the doers in war preparations will be severe from those who do not toll or plan for national safety. Warning has been often given that the fifth column profits through even well-meaning opposition to Government policies. Silence is golden this month wheretsS a speaker cannot support the policies of the administration, astrologers warn. Sensational incidents are foretold in Washington where the summer is to breed traitors as well as heroes. ,,.e International Affairs: Italy will suffer severely at this time when the seers forecast increased prob lems involving the welfare of wo- men and children Mussolini ywill occupy a desperate position in which he becomes figurehead un- popular with the Fascist who pre- viously followed him and now re- sent Nazi domination. A tragedy in which a statesman is the victim is prognosticated. The Mediterran- can is to be the scene of more than one historic battle.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of un- usual experiences in which disap- pointments may lead to success or happiness.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have eyentful lives in which they overcome many diff culties including love obstacles.

a change of governments in the is- land would be easy. But the State Department said No. Like the French in Italy and in the Near East, the State Depart ment had what seemed like good reasons. But the real truth was that French was still the real language of American diplomacy.

as France. The element of distance in blockading the Japanese has van ished. .. Japan now holds powerful French Indo- Chinese naval bases, now Is one days steaming distance from the Dutch East Indies. Also British support is gone. Desperate ly pushed in Europe, they have no ships to speak of at Singapore. Also the support of Russia is gone. That country, once willing to cooperate with 50 submarines operating from Vladivostok, now is in the Axis pocket.
 Finally, the embargo situation is completely reversed. Instead of the United States cutting off Japan's iron, oil, copper, cotton, Japan now is demanding all of the Dutch East Indies tin and r-without which American industry is almost paralyzed
 So,s while the United States wait ed, the shoe was put on the other foot.
 FINAL FRENCH LESSON Being a devoted friend of France, the United States now is adopting a French lesson even in dealing with France herself; also with her neigh bor Portugal.
 One month ago, after Vichy an- nounced its open alignment with Hitler, Roosevelt prepared to send a message to Congress emphasizing the, importance of the Atlantic is- lands Azores. Cape Verde, Canar- ies) and of French West Africa as jumping off places to South Amer ica.
 Simultaneously seven ships began loading U. s. marines at Quantco, Va, for secret landing on the Azores. The plan was to take these vital stepping stones in mid-Atlantic under the temporary protection of the United States.
 But Roosevelt waited. Also the State Department, being gentle manly, queried the Portuguese Gov ernment. And the Portuguese said they would object strenuously to American Marines on the Azores. They said they would fight.
 So Roosevelt continued waiting Later he referred to the Azores in his fireside chat. and Portugal viz orously protested. Now Portuguese newspapers are whipping up public opinion against the United States.
 At about the same time certain French leaders familiar with Marti- nique informed Washington of their anxiety to cast off from Vichy, come under the protective friendship of the United Stteas. They described the people of Martinique as out of step with Vichy, thoroughly in step with the United States. sThey ,said

KING GEORGE II

A modest, unassuming king VINO

has been given a chance TO carve
himself a niche in history.
This opportunity came to King
George II Of Greece with-the pass
ing Of Premier Gen. John Metaxas
who first smashed the legend OF
Fascist inyincibility. His death re-
moves from the scene a man who
completely overshadowed, even
eclipsed. his monarch.
And George H.. who for more
than a decade wandered aimlessly
about Europe, Killing time at thea.
trical first nights and horse races,
now holds the destiny OF Greece in
his hands.

ther.os Venizelos and restored the
monarchy. But the king who came
back-the only one. incidentally.
VINO has come back since the Wor d
War upheavals-wielded his scep-
ire IN the shadows.
King George lost no time in nam
ing a new premier. But even TO
the Peep OF Greece. the name OF
AleXanderhos Korizis means com
paratively little. Henceforth, III 5
will not be Metaxas war against
Italy and praise VIII no longer be
sung to the general who came TO
be known as the Little Moltke".
From now on, it's Georges affair.
There is no reason to be eve that
the death OF Metaxas will in any
manner reduce the pace OF
Greece's war effort. King George
himself is the descendant Of Danish
warrior kings. He has the unique
advantage OF knowing that he is
the only monarch in recent history
at least who was voted into his
job by the popular electorate. Not
even George VI. Of England holds
a mandate directly from the British
people.
There is a famous legend about
George II. in exile. Stopping at
London's Savoy Hotel some years
ago, he was approached by a man
who introduced himself "a an
American gangster.
For five grand" the possibly
mythical yarn quotes the trigger
man as saying, III get those guys
in Athens bumped of and give you
back your throne"
King George smilingly declined.
