YUGOSLAV ARMY

With amazing fortitude and ingenuity, a Yugosav army still manages to make plenty of trouble for the Axis-well year after the last resistance was believed crushed in the Balkan state by the im- mensely superior forces of Nazi Germany. Despite the most brutal reprisal against the civilian popula- ton, the hardy menfolk of the mountainous realm of King Peter continually harassing the Fascist forces of aggression carrying full-scae battles with the Italian armies Trieste and Plume in Northeast Italy.
 Many American newspapers use the convenient term guerrilla" for these Yugosav fighters, and the German and Italian militarists sternly insist that they are carrying on irregular illegal" fare-and executing them upon capture rather than observing the international law governing the treatment of prisoners.
 The Yugoslav patriots may be following a guerrilla technique of defense and attack. It is a technique forced upon them by the incomparaby better equip- ment of the Axis forces and, incidentally, a style of fighting especially well suited to the terrain of the homeland But Rome and Berlin should not be per- mtted to apply unchalenged the label of irregulars to the Yugoslavs.
 They are the defenders of nation attacked with out cause and in utmost contempt of international law (he attempted sell-out of Regent Prince Paul and the coup which established Prince Peter on the throne provided an excuse but not reason for the German attack) They represented by formal government in exile and there has never been formal surrender to the invaders.
 The organization and command of the Yugoslay forces is under one of the chieftans of the regular army General Draja Mikhailovitch and presumably under him are many other officers who were regu- lars in the Yugoslavian army at the time of the German invasion.

WAGE STERILIZATION

Inside reason for holding up the vital question of stabilizing wages is hot backstage row over who will do the stabilizing, although all presidential advisers agree that wages must be stabilized if the cost of living is to be kept down.
 The row has almost reached the proportions of the one which threatened on Capitol Hill if the President followed his first plan and asked Congress to pass wage legislation.
 When the President changed his mind. regarding legislation and de- cided to act by Executive Order insteal, OPA,s General Counsel David Ginsberg prepared the nec- essary papers for establishing a Wage Policy Commission. This was to have been headed by Gov. Lehman of New York, with power to issue directives on wages to all Government departments.
 But immediately half a dozen other agencies bobbed up with the idea that the wage stabilizat.o;

 When time for the hearing came. however, the case was upset not by the officials but by Miss Prior her. self. She rose in the hearing room and declared that she wished to withdraw her petition. She had concluded that Lieut.. Moore would be embarrassed by having Ger man wife, and she would prefer to renounce her marriage plans.
 This solved the problem, but not happily Lieut.. Moore, who had come to Asheville for the hearing, was visiblv upset A few days later, Miss Prior left with the other Ger mans on the Drottningholm.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do mot compel"
SATURDAY, AUGUST l5

SATURDAY, AUGUST IS Benefic aspects dominate today. As the week closes, good news from the war fronts may be expected.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a most promising configuration for women who should find compensa- ton over the weekend for their work and sacrifice for war needs. The sway is fortunate for new ac- quaintances of opposite sex. Home hospitalities today will bring un- expected happiness. Letters with good reports will be received from the boys in foreign lands. The stars should have an energizing and reassuring influence.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: By means of retaining waste material large returns are assured. War is teach ing the American people much needed lessons in conservation and economy, which will be invaluable after peacetirne readjustments are made, the seers declare. This date is fortunate for business and eS- pecially for congratulations. This is a time to prepare for sweeping changes in the Autumn. American energy and enterprise are to be di- rected into new channels, which later will circle the globe.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Cumber- some Governmental machinery must be reduced tremendously before the end of the year, according to as- trologers who foretell serious results from the multiplication and ex- pansion of Bureaus, small and large. The fact that more than a quarter of the population draws salaries from public funds will arouse taxpayers who have diff culty in meeting their obligations. There is a sign that is interpreted as most threatening to national peace of mind.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." :: China is under more favorable planetary influences, but there are difficult weeks ahead Japanese cruelty will be accentuated as the United Nations gain victories. Ma ture is to aid the enemies of Japan, for another earthquake is prog nosticated, also severe storms that cause serious damage in Tokyo. Unrest among the patient Nippon ese civilians will be increased ny food shortage. ,. i Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year requir- ing close attention to financial matters. Happy love affairs and romantic friendships are foretold.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceptionally talented and successful. Certain artistic ones will gain fame.

our greatest feat was the raid Of
September 20 against Bengasi when
half the port was destroyed. Sub
sequently bombing rendered this
invaluable harbor almost useless
to the Axis.
I'm short, sinking of supply ships
in the Mediterranean by American
and British units was one of the
main reasons why the enemy
collapsed after the battle of Ell
Alamein and fed all the way to Ell
Agheila without further fighting.
Bombers Speed Victory.
Thus our heavy bombers con-
tributed immeasurably to the quick
ness and completeness of victory
and to the remarkably small Allied
casualties.
"Our medium and fighter bomb
ers also pulled their weight through
out the battle. During the opening
of the fighting they participated in
fierce bombardment of forward
enemy troops, our air crews some
times making several sorties a day.
They Joined, too, with the Brit
ish in bombing the retreating Axis
forces clear to the Egyptian -Libyan
border. The great military road
along the coast was a shambles and
this Allied bombardment was de-
scrlbed by Axis prisoners as largely
responsible for their panic"
Some indication OF the work of
our medium and f1ghter-bombers
may be seen in their logs. During
this offensive the 18th group of
medium bombers made 55l sorties
and dropped 100 tons of bombs.
The 57th Fighter Group carried
out 1927 sorties and unloaded
bombs. 1t is also recorded that
