an abandonment of the enemy's Aleutions foothold. It quite likely that the forces withdrawn have been concentrated upon Kiska, with the purpose of de- enough that the enemy has bitten off more than he chew conveniently at the present time. And the guardedly optimistic tone of the Navy report upon current conditions in the AeutionS generally will bring to residents of the Pacific Northwest the conviction that forces in that most important sector making definite progress in spite of the extremely difficult conditions they face.
 Almost halfway around the world to the east ward another Axis offensive represents an even more desperate gamble
 Adolf Hitler has promised the fall of Stalingrad. It the only promise he could bring himself to offer his people in his 1942 forecast But it is a much more definite commitment than any broad congratulations about crushing all enemies even the consummation of peace in a given year.
 For time is working against Hitler at Stangrad and the time is not counted in months years, but in weeks-a very few weeks-or in days
 First comes the rain and then the Russian win ter. The snows do not fall in the Stalngrad region quite early as in Moscow, but heavy rain, turning roads into bogs, can make supply problems almost as difficult Rains and may come earlier later but if the is normal Hitlers legions prob ably have about two weeks left to take Stalingrad
 If they succeed it will be at best qualified victory, long delayed fulfilment of a hope held out to the German people, many days ago
 If they fail it will mean that the last shreds of the myth of Nazi nvincibility will be torn away.

paign electioneering comes under aspects that are far from credi- table in their effects upon the pub lie mind. Evidence that few would-be statesmen place their own success above national welfare will be disturbing to voters and most unfortunate for the morale of young men and young women in uniform. The seers have declared that the Second World War was precipitated by lack of high prin- ciples and true patriotism in for eign countries. Lessons are to be learned from what has happened to subjugated peoples.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As World War II advances mex orably toward a final victory for the United Nations it is of inter- est to look back upon World War I in which this country was en- gagged for 19 months. Then there were in the Army 4,O57,101 men and 2,059,6 ,629 were sent ovrseas. In 13 battles we had 1,390,O0O in &C., ton in France. There were 5O.51O killed and 182,674 wounded. At the present time there are 4,OO0 OOO men fighting or training for action

 Meanwhile, if the admirals had been permitted to limit naval air. craft to only 5000, the Navy would have been in a tough spot at Mid- way and in the battle of the Coral Sea. For in those battles, battleShipS did not get within shooting range of each other Aircraft did all the damage.
 NOTE: In the 1940 appropriation bill the Senate insisted on giving the Navy S40,000 ,0O0 for building small ships for anti-submarine war fare. The Admirals opposed the ap- propriation, and though the money was voted, they used almost none of it until this spring. Our lack of small ships was why the submarines raised such havoc. Yet they say that military and naval men only should run the war.

being dismantled to make way for a new housing project. The private golf course is torn up. Lumber is piled beside the marble statues. But the massive gates at the en- trance still hang.
 Weighing twenty tons they would be a nice contribution to the scrap iron drive. But they cannot be re- moved-thanks to red tape.
 Mrs. Mclean, owner of the Hope Diamond, would like to see them turned into scrap iron. So would Lessing RoSewald, head of the Con- servation Division. But red tape stands in the way.
 Here is what happened. Ferd Eberstadt, new mic Vice. chairman of WIPE, telephoned Ro- senwald one morning. Let's get those Friendship gates,' he said.
 RosenWald agreed and assigned an able assistant, Shipley Troth, to the task. Troth got in touch with the District of Columbia salvage com mlttee, headed by Horace Walker. He found Walker had already obtained release for the gates, as part of the D. c. salvage drive.
 Scrap dealer Joseph Smith sent his men to Friendship" to dis mantle the famous portals. But when the crew arrived, the housing project manager said the gates had been assigned to the U. s. Treas urys Procurement Division for scrap purposes
 Two days passed. Eberstadt called Rosenwald again. What about those gates" insisted go-getter Eber- stadt. Rosenwald prodded Troth again. Troth found that the Treas ury had consigned the gates to the Navy Department for scrap.
 The Navy, however, moves slowly. Troth has now asked Procurement Director Clifton Mack to switch the gates back from Navy to District salvage.
 But this takes time. So the gates still stand in their august place, maJestically guarding private golf course which is now a mass of ruts, and marble figures of Nap- oieon gazing in horror at a scene reminiscent of gold rush camp.
 Some day when the red tape is finally cut. the gates will go to the scrap heap

ALASKA DAY, 1912

Tomorrow Alaskans celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the official delivery of Alaska, then Russian America to the United States of America.
 On that day, October Is. 1867, Captain Pestchou- representing His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russians" turned to General Rosseag who represented the President of the United States
 territory vast and virgin for the price of s7200000
 It is significant this year, that the United States is not actually in possession of all of the land which included in the sale.
 Japs are squatting on hunk of t-a hot rock out in the Aleutians-Kiska Island.
 In 1867, the Russians thought so much of Alaska that they sold it for paltry million dollars. Today the Japs would like to have it badly that they sending their soldiers into the lonesome Aleutians to die.
 In 1867, the United States, at least many repre- sentatives of this country not sold Alaska that they made big joke about it's purchase. They tried to abandon it, attempted to peddle it to the Territory of Washington a county, and the latter move only failed because the Senators reached the conclusion that it would be a downright dirty trick to play the Territory of Washington
 Defensively, strategically, Alaska today is most vital region with respect to And peaceful pur- suits in the neglected Territory has turned up more than two billions of dollars in fish, gold furs um- Der and other items. And the surface has been hardly scratched

MONDAY. OCTOBER. 10

MONDAY, OCTOBER 19
 This is an uncertain day in plan etary direction, but persons in au- thority are under stimulating and helpful influences. The configura- tion is suspicious for Government policies.
 HEART AND HOME: Women may be apprehensive and de- pressed under this sway which seems to presage disturbing news regarding the war It is a date to push all important work and to subordinate self There is a sign read as indicating urge to in, crease all efforts to promote sue, cess in our production of mui1i- tions and machinery. This is a time to make facts take the place of boasts. American confidence in victory is helpful, but the seers urge that everyone in the United States gear effort to point where II would be eXerted in the fact of possible defeat. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merchan- dising of foods will focus atten- tion although abundant crops have been harvested. Rationing will ex- tend to many articles but plenty of perishable fruits and vegetables will be reserved for home eonsump- tion. The stock market will be ef- fected by great quantities of grain from our fertile lands and ship ments of immense bulk will be sent to starving Europe and to China with good results when peace plans are made.

NO EXPERT KAISER

When Henry J. Kaiser was ir Washington recently he got word that his son Henry was ill Henry Jr. is manager of the Kaiser ship building plant at Portland, Ore.
 Kaiser phoned his son to go off to camp for rest. But young Kaiser was worried. Who'll run the yard?" he asked.
 Never mind about the yard" said Kaiser. That yard will run itself and do you know why? Because there isn't damn soul on that yard who knows anything about ship building"

SUNDAY. OCToBER IS

OONDhI, OSA AOAi5Ab Ao
 Benefic aspects rule strongly through today which should be fortunate in the assurances from war fronts. Women are under the best possible planetary influences.
 HEART AND HOME: Practical, everyday application of religious { ideals will be emphasized by churches of every faith as great numbers of men and women turn to spiritual consciousness as the means of meeting wartime anXie- ties and sacrifices. Women come under a direction of the stars which adds to their broadening fields of public service. Equality Of opportunity will rule in many lines of industry in which girls prove themselves experts. Elderly persons should benefit today which brings | interest in their counsel and ad- vice. The evening is suspicious for the young and others not young who will find romance under this configmation.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Produc- tion of war supplies of every sort will be most encouraging but there may be difficulty in meeting too optimistic predictions of what can 1 be accomplished. The transporta- tion problem will be ever present as preparations for winter needs are speeded in all parts of the country Work for everybody and demand for more hands and brains will make coming weeks profitable to numbers of Americans. Infla- | tion perils will be difficult to over come before the November elec- 1 tionS.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Despite teaching and preaching, selfish aims will conflict with certain na- tional plans. Washington will com- bat Friendly enemies" who pretend to be patriotic while they are se- cretly enjoying immense profits from Government contracts. The stars are read as presaging ulti- mate acceptance of novel ideas in 1 the production of ships and air. planes. Notwithstanding tenacious hold, many established traditions will be forgotten as modern genius is applied to present day war needs. Civilians will step upon the toes of many officials.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR RS: In the next few weeks the United Nations will prove their tremen- dous power as day after day they turn the tides of battles fought in many parts of the globe. Promise of sweeping victory will be empha- sized through November and De- cember, but bad news will inter mingle with good reports. Although optimism is stimulating it must not blind our people because the seers foretell long, hard fighting Dangers inside the United States are forecast.
 | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of an extraordin- arily busy year. Litigation should be avoided at all hazards.
 Children born on this day prob ably will possess fine talents and have original ideas They will be favorites among their relatives and may expect substantial legacies.
