can land We must first defend these places and then launch offensive to retake lost islands to the north. Australia must be held for the day when it can be used mighty base for huge at tack against the invader
 But Japan already has the huge advantage of a string of stepping stones for her supply lines in the many islands she has rolled under her might the trip south Americas troops and supplies must trav- el much longer line
 But the United States will have to gamble in this battle. If the Japanese can succeed in holding our forces on Australia for any time long enough for the invader to fully occupy the north, the vic tory will be theirs And if the Japs would succeed in conquerng this last jumping off place for Amer- can troops, theirs would be overwhelming victory.
 We must not only continue to hold Australia, but build huge force there until Australia becomes the beginning of American march to Tokyo

or all the many worthwhile service organizations in the world today. The Salvation Army perhaps gees about its good work with the least fuss of any The Salvation Army Sally" the organization is known to many of the down and cutters who have been aided by it, doesn't seek publicity The very nature of it's work often makes publicity out Of the question. Consequently it's pretty tough job
 The Army performs great and much needed service in this word-in Alaska And its workers ask nothing in return except the knowledge that they're doing good But from the practical outlook, no organization operate without funds Every year The Salvation Army in Juneau carries on a maintenance fund drive. Always, Juneau residents have contributed generously.
 This year should be no exception The campaign for funds will begin on Thursday. The quota has been set at $2500 less than the amount collected last year Your contribution is invited

FIRST AIDERS NOT TO TAKE
 PART IN ALERT

First Aid workers will no longer report to their stations during Air Raid Drills, it was decided last night at meeting of all chiefs held in the Fire Hall with HolgaI Larsen presiding.
 The move has been made, Larsen said, to keep the streets clear dur ing the alerts. First Aid workers will stay where they are or go to a bomb shelter near by until the all- clear signal in an effort to clear the streets of all traffic during the drills.
 Only in case of an actual air raid will the workers report to their stations now, Larsen said it was decided.
 Later in the Spring, he said, the First Aid group of the Civilian De- fense council will have a special drill to be held without the alert being sounded, when workers will be given problems to handle.
 Next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock in the Elks' Hall, all First Aid workers in the city will report to a mass meeting where contests will be held among squads in First Aid.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA

There has been increasing speculation of late on the possibility of a Jap attack on Russia Japan unquestonably would have a much better chance of invading the Soviet Far East while Russia is en- gagged with Germany. In addition to this, there is need for immediate action the part of Japan in view of the increasing strength of the United States and the possibility that Russia at any time now, mght give air, and land forces the right to use her Far Eastern bases for a giant offensive against Honshu-the main Jap island which Tok- yo Osaka and other important Jap industrial cities are located
 Some writers go far to say that Japan must once against Russia to remove this threat to her home bases in Nippon proper and Manchuokuo, where the Japs have developed some very important war industries and military bases These writers say that if Japan does not take of this threat at once she must lose the war
 On the other hand, both Russia and Japan seem to have their hands full other fronts at present and they likely to have their hands full these fronts for many months Until Japan consoi- date her gains in southern Asia and the southwest Pacific complete her Burma campaign, and take care of Macarthur Australia, it seems not likely that she do much damage in the north.
 The Russians too have a long fight still ahead of them in driving the Nazi invader their land. The Russians have every reason to know that Ger many is her chief enemy at present and from the practical side would be foolish to take Japan at once.
 On the other hand, if Russia could be assured that the United States could send large enough force to the Soviet Far East with which to launch a huge attack Japan and Manchuokuo it would seem logical that Russia would have objection to this There is every to believe that the sup ply line from the United States to Siberia via Alaska would be of the best. Russia must look to the future too-to the day when Japan may be able to turn to the north.
 And if the Japanese should choose to attempt an attack Alaska, they probably would be forced to occupy Russian Far Eastern bases from which to launch any successful attack.

Change In Attitude
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The governments decision to change the name of defense stamps and bonds to war stamps and bonds next summer is another symptom of the great and healthy reformation of national attitude which occurred during the past winter
 The of the word defense" in connection with armament production, all types of preparedness activity and government financing has been hang over from the many months of compromise between realities and isolationism, smugness, escapsm and wishful thinking which characterized Americas at titude toward World War II prior to our own involve ment.
 It required only few hours when our own turn came, of course to demonstrate the futility of a static defense psychology. The change in public opinion to offensive of mind occurred rath- quickly under the bludgeoning blows dealt us by the Japanese. In fact, it occurred much quicker than the military arrangements could be made for transition from defense to offense.
 The remaining of war-fnance bonds and the increasing tendency to call defense" workers war" workers instead not of themselves matters of first-rate importance But reflections of a changed attitude, and as implements in the chang ing of that attitude, they are important.

ARMY MASCOT

The President got letter the other day that touched him deeply It was delivered by Representative John Mccormack, Democra House leader, and was from a l3- year-old boy of Hyde Park, Mass who wanted to join the Army His name is John McGrath, and this IS what he wrote:
 You may think me silly, but please try to understand. know I'm too young to enlist as a fight ing man, much too young, but what I'm asking is, please could l be an Army mascot or serve some other way? Please.
 I have my fathers and mothers permission to join up to defend our country. I don't want to sit home

jurist can be certain of strong Ad ministration backing. "Pappy' is definitely not popular around the White House, while Alfred is a great favorite of the President. Rep- resentative Lyle Boren, anti-NN Deal Oklahoma Democrat. faces tough competition to hold his seat this year. Fred McCabe. youne liberal former member of the State Legislature and a Whirlwind can1- paigner, is after Boren's scalp.
 B. J. Brown, Indiana Townsend plan leader, emphatically denies that he is entering into any po- litical deal with the Republicans. J Reason for the recent mild tone of Representative Clare Hoff- man is that the Michigander is worried about his reelection pros- poets and is soft-pedaling on his former noisy isolationism.

AUSTRALIA MUST STAND

To Americans today. the present situation in the Pacific presents of the most serious problems an America at ever has faced The outlook is bleak One after another Pacific Islands have fallen to the invader. Today only Australia and New Zealand remain as the only possible Pacific points from which American offensive may be launched to stop the invader
 This coming battle will be the first major land cannot hope for better leader for the grow ing A. E. F in Australia than Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur But he has huge job ahead of him
 Americans would feel better about this coming struggle if they knew how many troops and what equipment the United States has in the "down-under continent" But this is knowledge that would also be vitaly important to Japan in planning her attack
 There indications, however that for many months American military strategists have this battle coming. As early December 22, the United States troops arriving in Australia a fact only recently announced Certainly it is clear that it is almost wholly up to the United States troops to de- fend Australia.
 There only 100000 persons in this huge continent the size of the United States This num- Der includes and children Probably not than 100000 of this number would be fit for military duty We must also remember that a great number of Australian troops have been sent to other battlefelds. If could count on 300 OOO Australian troops the number fully equipped and trained that could be put into the field this would be generous estimate In some Australian cities it is estimated that United States troops ounumber Australian soldiers.
 Australia and New Zealand are the last spots in the entire Pacific where our troops and supplies

and other war factors.
 3. The present training systems are far superior to those of the World War. Trainees are selected more carefully and given much more and better instruction before they get their coveted wings.
 The question of allowing military air crashes to be reported has been a subject of inner circle debate for some time Some authorities. con- tend this is valuable information to the enemy, and cite the fact that Britain has banned such press stories.
 The President, however, has not entirely agreed with this view. He is against publication of totals or percentages but sees no objection to press reports of individual mis- haps. This is the policy being fol- lowed but the question is still un- der discussion.

 From Vacation Trip

Dr. and Mrs. William M White head and their three children, Vir- ginia, Page and Stuart returned last night after a three month va cation in the States.

branches has come an accompany ing frequency of press reports of crashes by fledgling pilots. These stories have brought a flood cf worried inquiries to Washington authorities.
 Relatives of aviators have ex- pressed concern over the number of these accidents and the adequacy of the training programs.
 The Washington Merry Co., Round has investigated both matters. For military reasons detailed figures cannot be disclosed. But the fol- lowing congratulations can be pub lished:
 l. That the U S. percentage Cf accidents is less than that Of the British, and appreciably under the best available German figures. The casualty rate among Nazi trainees is reported to be quite high due to limited training facilities, person. nel'and equpment.
 2. Whiie :. s. accidents nave in- creased numerically because of the greatly increased number of men in training. the percentage Of ac- cidents has not increased. Today it is about the same as the ratio in 1940. This fact is of key inn portance. since it means there has been no deterioration in the basic quality of the Army and Navy air training systems despite speed ups

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
WEDNESDAY. APRIL Is

w ILODhI 1I Ie4D AO
 Benefic aspects dominate today which should bring good news. It is a favorable date for beginning important projects and fortunate for | industry.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under rather unfavorable planetary influences today There may be an inclination to look on the dark side of things, but the stars pre- sage good news from young men in the service of the nation. Avi- ators are well directed There is sign read as most, encouraging to girls who study shorthand and typing. In the future the seers predict that all who go to school will become familiar with stem ography Nursery schools will null tiply as mothers are absorbed by war work. Girls will find pleas ant vocation in the branch of teaching which includes kinder 
 2artning.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American courage and resourcefulness will be demonstrated in daring enter prises that provide for the needs of the Allied Nations. Prosperity will continue through the summer fas +l,o,o ,,,;ll loo v,ork arJ uaoac for all who have any ability. The stock market will indulge in vag- aries but there may be surpris- ing volume of trading Merchants will profit. Hotels will be largely patronized for there will be much summer travel.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: New taxes will be unavoidable as war needs drain the national resources. Real sacrifices however will not be neces- sary until late in the year, the 5eers foretell, but they counsel wise ;elf-denial and systematic invest ment in stamps and bonds. By midsummer it will be plain that the United States is not to escape full realization of the meaning of an all-out war. Changes in many methods of defense will be made this spring.
 INTERNATIONAL AFF AIR 5: The Suez Canal comes under as- poets that seem to presage great dangers. The utmost vigilance is foretold as necessary to safeguard the channel which is of greatest importance Enemy submarines of extraordinary type are foreseen by the seers who warn of great peril. Losses on the high seas are prog nosticated. The stars seem to in- dicate many added reverses for the Allies before the turning point IS leachd in the autumn. The war may extend through many months even after victory is apparently as- sured.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Success in government po- sitions, naval service and military affairs is presaged for men.
 Children born on this day have great possibilities, because extraor- dinary talents and strong charac- ters are their endowment. They will have keen minds which they use efficiently.
