HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29

l
 Benefic aspects dominate today. However the stars may bring much bitter comment to candidates for public office. Neptune is in an as pect that stimulates competition and encourages misjudgment.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are most fortunate under this con- figuration which makes them loyal supporters of persons or movements that promise much for human welfare. It is an suspicious date for their clubs and other or ganizations Those who seek aid or advice from men of influence may expect cordial cooperation. Girls come under a sway t h a t promises happiness through mar riage or betrothal. It is a lucky wedding day.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Foresha- dowing of many changes in com mercial methods after the war will be plain in the coming win ter when bankers and financiers agree on unusual programs which are essential to the prosecution of the world conflict Seven years ago, when Uranus entered the money sign Taurus, it was predicted that before May IS, 1942, violent up- heavals in customary financial pro- grams would take place The lend- lease plan is cited as one example Of what is taking place and cur- rent spending of billions borrowed from the people proves the new order of business.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: All who believed that isolation was possible for the United States now must foresee a world democracy, even though they do not read the future in the stars. Astrologers forecast amazing readjustments that will eliminate forever old patterns of diplomacy in which concealment and misrepresentation, treachery and indirection prevailed. Japanese betrayal of the nation to which their people owe present day de- velopment wrote "finis" to estab- lished customs.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Guerrilla warfare will spread in Europe at this time, the. seers sfere- cast. Hitler is responsible for grow ing desperation among subJugated nations as each week adds to the persecution and tyranny by the 1 Nazis who have discarded all the provisions of a civilized code in their treatment of unfortunate prisoners as well as dwellers in territory taken by stealth or by force. There is sign read as in- citing revolutionary impulses.
 Persons whose birthdate it is nave the augury of year of ad- vancement in which war service will be especially fortunate. Love will come to many young folk. Children born on this day prob- ably will be talented, generous. in- dividual and ambitious. They may be so successful as to be much en- vied.

A Great Highway
Cincinnati Enquirer)

In building the highway to Alaska the Army is about to complete monumental job in amazing ly short time. So very soon we shall have back door open to Alaska. And we are pushing the Pan- American Highway to Panama
 These roads promise to be of immense utility. Think what they will be when peace returns. An auto travel on one continuous and unbroken highway from the Panama Canal to the Far North There will be nothing else like it in the world
 Yet the Army is not thinking of what will hap pen after the It is concerned solely with i'm mediate necessities In Japanese submarines make Alaska waters dangerous we have a safe route Tor men and supplies. The same thing applies to the Canal Incidentally of course this highway will open up great regions of virgin territory forests in Canada and fine agricultural land in Central Amer ica It is costing great deal of money yet in the end it will prove to be good investment

The St. Louis Cardinals are not noted for the generous salaries paid their players, particularly the younger performers. And the re- port is that when George (Whitey) kuroWski hit that ninth inning home run to clinch the World Series and enable the Cards to take the larger share of the series dough he earned himself almost double the money he had made all season. That decisive hit was worth more than $6,O00.
 The anti-aircraft replacement training center at Fort Eustis, Va, could put a big-name baseball club on the field and then have some Of history's most famous names on the sidelines as rooters.
 Corporal Jim Kluttz, checking a list of trainees, found these men, but not the ones who made the names famous:
 Joe DfMaggio, Charley Keller, Joe Gordon. Billy Herman, Joe Cronin, Johnny Allen, Johnny Murphy, Ted Lyons, Ed Smith, Tommy Bridges, Bill Lee, Johnny Peacock, Frank Mccormick, Bill Tabor, Joe Moore and Johnny Rizzo.
 Other trainees with celebrated names included: George Washing ton, Abraham Lincoln, John O. Adams, Jefferson Davis, Andrew Jackson John Brown, James Mon- roe, Woodrow Wilson, John Tyler Robert E.

Thousands of young men eager to join the Army or Navy have been rejected because of physical de- fects. These troubles, often touch of asthma or hay fever, are not serious. They leave no visible mark and the young man is able to go about his work as usual But to many people not knowing the circumstances, he appears as stacker This is humiliating The young mans pride and selfrespect are hurt. He finds it impossible to explain why he IS not in uniform with his fellows Now surely he should be given some distinguishing insignia to snow his willingness Or better still, places should be found in the forces where trifling physical disabilities will not be bar to service

WITH THE BRITISH 9TH ARMY
IN LIBYA, Dec. 8.-As we draw
closer to the moment when the
great battle will be joined at El
Agheila, 1t is increasingly apparent
that Allied fortunes rest In a major
degree on the personality and mil
itary skill OF one man, Gen. Sir Ber-
nard Montgomery, commander Of
the British 9th Army.
In the minds of thousands Of
young fighting men who swarm the
desert, the name of Montgomery has
become synonymous with success.
It's the rabbits foot they carry
with them to insure victory.
They've come to have unlimited
confidence in him and because OF
that they have confidence in them
selves.
In short, Gen. Montgomery and
the morale Of the British army are
pretty much one and the same
thtng-and right now it is mighty
high.
Because Gen. Montgomery does
hold so much of our destiny in his
own hands I made special effort
to find him and finally ran him to
earth after long, hard chase of
several days back and forth across
the fighting zone.
Runs His Own Show.
You will gather from this that the
general is an active individual who
runs his own show. He is laying
plans for supreme effort and he
isn't leaving all the details to sub
ordinates. Point number one to OBJ
serve about him is that he isn't one
OF those generals who operate from
bases in the rear.
He is up in the action where he
can see what is happening and can
make quick decisions on the field.
I found Gen. Montgomery in his
caravan-a small, mobile headquar-
tiers which can be got In motion on
the road in a few minutes If neces-
sary. I must admit 1t was with
some misgiving that I approached
his little house on the sands for I
wasn't sure just what sort of indi-
vidual I was going to meet. I had
read some articles which pictured
him as cold-blooded, two-gun
killer who shoots for the love of It,
That isn't the type-of man I admire
or trust and I didn't want to find
one in command of an army.
Well, I've encountered good
many killers in the generation that
I've been knocking around the world
as reporter and 1t can be said
that Gen. Montgomery isn't one of
them.
He isn't killer in the sense that
we Americans use that term. But

don't let this statement give you

don't let this statement give you
q wrong impression OF the man.
Kills Only rs a Duty1
Gen. Montgomery will kill-lei
none mistake that. There burns ir
his gray eyes the unmistakable
fame of the crusader. If he were
not a great general he would be
in some other field Of leadership
and it would involve idealism il
I've sized up my man rightly. On
that basis he will kill. But he will
do 1t as a duty and not because II
pleases him.
Gen. Montgomery was in his little
house on wheels when I tramped
up to his front and only door. The
first indication that any one was
home came when a strong and
CHEEKY voice called out:
Come in. I'm glad to see you
A kindly faced, gray-haired man
shook hands cordially and waved
me to chair. No shooting iron
No 10-gallon hat. He smiled when
told him had come to look him
over and see what sort of a chap
he was and we fell to chatting.
"Is everything we'll with us as we
come up for battle, sir?" I asked
him.
He looked me straight in the eye
one of his characteristics
nodded. The morning sun streamed
through the door and deepened the
strong lines of his race There was
no mistake about that nod. He
meant yes.
Sees Hard Battle Ahead.
This question was backgrounded on
the generals own personal message
to the troops on the eve of his his
toric attack at Ell Alamein October

cracks up. But We must smash him
and do 1t on the battlefield with
armies"
"A battle" observed the general at
another point in the conversation "is
a contest between two men-the
commanders-to see who can outwit
the other"
He turned to nfe-size photo OF
the head and shoulders of a strik-
ing looking soldier.
That's Rommel,' he remarked
and added with smile, II captured
that"
What do you think OF him?"
asked.
Hes grand soldier" replied
Gen. Montgomery, but we shall beat
him."
You're confident-your own mo-
rale Is high" I said.
He nodded and again looked me

which has ragged across TOO miles of
burning sands and is now about to
be decided at Ell Agheila.
At that time he said:
THE battle which Is now about to
begin will be one of the decisive bat
ties Of history. 1t will be the turn
ing point Of the war. The eyes of
the world will be upon us, watching
the way the battle will swing. We
can give them their answer at once
1t will swing our way"
So the general nodded and. then
he said: Things go well. We shall
not fail at Ell Agheila, though here
may be hard battle. The Germans
will fight"
II told my men at the beginning
of the campaign that our job was
to drive the Boche out Of Africa,
he said. I'VE shall do that. There
is no alternative. There is no ques-
ton of anything else"
The generals eyes twinkled and
he laughed when I told him that
some of the men were betting the
combined Allied forces would have
Christmas dinner in Tripoli.
1t was evident that the report
pleased him, as we'll it might, for it
indicated that his troops were In
high fettle.
Knows When Not to Talk.
However, Gen. Montgomery knows
when to talk and when not to talk.
He didn't answer me directly
about the Yuletide dinner, a',5 did
give a far better reply.
Morale is the thing" he declared,
and his voice vibrated. Morale is
the thing.
You can do anything with an
army if its morale is high. Your
troops must be in that frame of
mind where they want to fight,
where they're anxious to meet the
enemy in battle.
Morale depends on success. Give
the troops success and their morale
is high.
"The morale of our men Is high.
They want to fight.
This means much, for warfare

water. There are many trials. One
of these Is the lonely darkness OF the

But the morale of the men is high
I asked the. general how long he
thought the war would last.
II believe 1t is likely to be long
he replied.
'The only way to win is to defeat

"The greatest mistake we can
make is to fail to recognize this

Il was particularly touched by one
letter from q Sunday school leader
in Atlantic City. He wrote to say
that the boys of his classes were
praying that I might have strength
in the coming battle"
And don't these messages help
you?" I asked. Don't they
strengthen your morale?"
He nodded, and there was naois-

that.
The interview, which I shall long

fighting for.
