Increasing Aid
(Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Although the Allied shipping position still cannot be described other than grave it is somewhat en- couraging note that lease-lend deliveries in- creasing steadily President Roosevelt reports that the June amount of lease-end aid to other nations fighting the Axis was the highest in the 16 months since the inception of the program, total of $7O8O00O00
 and the aggregate value of the aid extended since of which well half represents actual deliveries of arms and commodities.
 Thus we already have well exceeded the total of 1eaSe-lend aid envisioned at the time the act was adopted. But meanwhile of course, there has had to be radical upward revision of the estimate of what it would take to stop the Axis And the pro- vision of easelend aid to other nations fighting the Axis has grown from instrument of foreign policy to an undertaking of military necessity.
 This aid only trickle at first, and was con- posed of various essential commodities to greater degree than weapons. But there is to believe that great preponderance of the lease-end aid consists of newly produced weapons of war
 Along with equipment for forces abroad, this leaselend material is being shipped in convoy as fast reighters and escort vessels are available. to it's protection, except along hotly contested supply route as the one to the North Russian port of Murmansk. But because it requires concentra- tion of shipping and depends upon the availability of escort craft the convoy shipment of lease lend war supplies represents bottleneck without which the monthly totals would be impressive.

'vised and coming months will be only slightly hampered because the use of family automobiles is re- stricted.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Surprise will continue to be em- Iployed by the Axis forces, especially by Japanese. There are portents of danger inside the United States where sabotage may be used in a wholesale way As the United Na- tions make progress desperate mea- sures will be tried with some sue cess, astrologers warn. Vigilance cannot be relaxed without causing loss of American lives, it is indi- ,cated. Mexico should be on guard against inside enemies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of new friendships. The young will be happy in unexpected romances. Caution in business matters is en- joined.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be generous, kindly and sympathetic as well as truly intel actual and exceedingly talented.

 The enormous importance of fire waste in wartime can be very simply illustrated It is serious loss when, in action, the enemy destroys few United Nations tanks, planes and ships The loss is infinitely greater, infinitely beneficial to the enemy if

The home front, effort Most of us have considered the grim pos sibity Of sabotage directed against war industries That is definite and present danger as the recent capture of number of enemy agents by the FBI dramatically proved Combating sabotage is an activity which must be carried on by our law-en- forcement bodies with the full cooperation of indus trial management and workers But while we think of sabotage, must not lose sight of the ordinary

A WOMAN'S WAR, TOO

There many things woman can do today if she wants to help her country win the war.
 She can be WAC or she be WAVE. That means she either join the Army or the Navy, serving to relieve military office workers and others for active duty. Or she can go to work riveter or a welder It's being done in the States
 But one of the most useful opportunities now be- ing offered women who have a sincere desire to serve is the chance to join the Volunteer Nurses Aide Corps We're not just how a woman will be able to her knowledge learned in the Army, Navy machine shop in the home after this is all over But it seems to us that every would benefit considerably by what she learns in becoming

 The American Red Cross, in collaboration with the Office of Civilian Defense has issued nation wide appeal for 100000 Nurses Aides women who will volunteer their services and after completing the course of instruction work in local hospitals and health agencies assistants to graduate
 The Volunteer Nurses Aide Corps is trained and disciplined service, and there is doubt that women who join it are of real service to their coun- try.

Later he went to the Brooklyn Dodgers, then to the Chicago White Sox, the Cleveland Indians, and landed with the Washington Sem ators in time to help win the 1933 pennant. Then for six years he caught for the Boston Red Sox, and twice went to Japan with Connie Mack's all-star team.
 This week, Moe will leave for Panama, where he will mingle with U s. troops, then on to Ecuador, Venezuela and Brazil, and to every Latin American country where our soldiers are stationed.

SOLOMON ISLANDS STRATEGY

What the Navy as up against in the battle of the Solomon Islands was the little known fact that the Japs were fortifying the islands at break-neck speed. Working night and day the Japs have been build- ing runways, gasoline tanks, anti aircraft installations.
 Since the Solomons extend down near the supply route between Hawaii and Australia, they have been a direct menace to U. s. ship ping and the trans-Pacific air line. Therefore it was up to the Navy to move before the Japs became too deeply entrenched. Moreover, Japanese activities in the Solomon Islands were typical of their zeal in other South Pacific Islands, in many of which they have been spending 24 hours a day with bull dozers and tractors leveling run ways and fortifying harbors.

MONDAY, AUGUST 1T

Adverse planetary aspects domi- nate today although benefic as- poets also are active. The stars appear to favor persons in auth ority.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration women should have clear vision regarding home affairs. Patience under bereavements and faith in the future are emphasized in the messages of the stars. Care of children will occupy public at- tention as mothers in great num- bers are absorbed by war indust- ries. In preparing for the coming Autumn and Winter the need of trained specialists in the care of infants and in the teaching of chii- dren of Kindergarten age will be recognized. Girls will find high service in vocation that releases mothers for national service.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American openhandedness will persist, despite national effort to encourage econo- mics and retail merchants may count on encouraging fall trade. Coming months are to demonstrate the ability of those responsible for trade and commerce to overcome wartime handicaps. Shops will be attractive and enticing. Buying will be generous for Government employees of all sorts will spend money wisely as they maintain old standards of living. {,
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Curtailment Of gasoline as method Of saving rubber will prove irksome to mill lions inasmuch as the stars appear to promise supplies of tires made of satisfactory substitutes for the scarce material.

 In fact, Donald Nelson gripes about only one of the changes which the war has wrought in his life.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16


 This is rather an uncertain day in planetary direction. The aged 1 should be under favorable influ- ences despite warm weather.
 HEART AND HOME: Access of interest in religion will be wide spread Churches and the clergy should benefit greatly although diff ferences between fundamentalists and modernists may be empha- sized. Study of the occult, which will command extraordinary atten- tion, will alarm many persons who fear mysticism. The veil between this plane and the next existence will be so thin that much will be apparently revealed regarding the etheric sojourn, it is prophesied Danger of acceptance of false pro- phets is foretold
 l BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American wealth will appear to be inexhaust- ible as the weeks pass and the most stupendous drains upon our resources are met with promptness. There is an aspect governing trade and commerce which appears to encourage wise planning for post war exigencies. All the signs pre- sage for the United States the nations pre-eminence as world power that must bear greater re- responsibilities than any previous na- tion has sustained.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Reliance on air strength now will continue to increase the nations desire to strengthen the most modern branch i of the service. Added honors for l flyers are forecast as brilliant deeds of valor are performed. New in ventions will add to the efficiency of United States planes, among which will be more novelties of supreme menace to the Axis. This month will reveal great access of patriotism.
 | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s {: There is sign warning of in creased loss of life by our forces which will see action in all parts of the world. China comes under planetary influences that promise much after the most extreme peril. Indifference of the United States when Japan first began aggression and succeeded in invasion will cost the nation many lives and much money as the lesson is learned that all parts of the world are now closely related, that what injures one nation affects all.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some perplexities and possible losses. It is wise to avoid changes, except those due to Government require ments.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be more or less impeded in their ambitions which will be lofty and persistent, but they should meet success.

of this was going on during the lull after the battle of Midway and during the monsoon rains in India.
 Some strategists figure that if the Japs were given one full year to fortify the South Pacific Islands it would take three or four years to dislodge them. That is why the attack on the Solomon Islands was partly race against time.

 In addition to the effective fight i1ag men, there were crowded on Aataan about 10000 refugees who had fled from Manila and followed tho American troops to the pen- ansula.
 There were also about 5000 na- tives employed as laborers,
 Stlrnson said he could tell how many of the defenders were killed wounded, or captured.
 Aside from saying our forces were greatly outnumbered, he would not hazard An estimate as to the num- Der of Japanese that opposed them, Estimates generally have placed the Japanese army at 100000.
 The S6,e00 defenders included q comparatively small force of reg ular Q. g. ground troops, air corps personnel that had been converted Co irfantryment after their air equipment was lost, Filipino scouts and Filipino troops that had very little previous training, and some navy bluejackets and marines.
