The many German refugees in the
United States attempt to communicate
with their families; too often the re-
port returns, "Addresse has left for I'M
known destination Sometimes pitiful
pleas originate from Germany proper,
a message from Berlin reads: Anna in
desperate plight, hungry, freezing, has
no shoes. Please heed our cries, hurry
money by telegraph, fear the worst"
The German authorities punctiliously
and deliberately cross out the names of
the countries as we know them, as II
they had thereby erased them from the
map. Messages marked for Poland are
changed to read German-Poland, or
Galizien; in place of Yugoslavia they
put Serbia, Bohemia is substituted for
Czechoslovakia. Sometimes the answers
indicate how thoroughly the Germans
are pursuing their theory of migration
and deportation. Families are separated
and know nothing of each others where

the following reply: Heard indirectly

Red Cross Letters Tell Real Story of War tragedies

There is very little news out of Occu-
changed is far less than that with other
enemy occupied countries. When the
French write, it is to speak of essential
documents or prisoners of war still held
by the Germans. Let us have courage,
better days must come. Would like
prisoners addresses, may God soon per-
NIT me to see my family, my country"
To this Frenchman, Occupied France is
no longer my country" The army of
occupation is everywhere, there seem to
be innumerable formalities connected
with the simple essentials of living. To
the French people who love their free
dom, this system of RECOMMENDATION and
oppression must be terrible, there can be
little left to tell the world outside.
Messages from Denmark and Norway
are often cheerful. In answer to an
inquiry this man writes to this friend in
America: Dear old SOUL never knew IS
words could send one to Heaven. Every
thing the same old circus with me. Think
of you always" A Norwegian refugee
writes home happily: my darling daddy,
received both messages with joy. Sister

Quite often the forms initiated over

Texas" Sometimes they are more ex-
plicit and say, Somewhere In Chicago"
or Somewhere In New York City,"

greatly increased and Newspaper Row
was quite probably at its height along
about 1880 or 1895. After this the news
paper representatives began to move
elsewhere and today fond memory OF the
place is all that is left.
To the writer, the most interesting
place along the row Is the site Of the
telegraph ONCE which for many years
occupied the northeast corner Of Four
tenth and streets, for from this ONCE
tho boys carried the telegraph messages
at least as early as 1878, when the
bicycle had not come into general use
and the automobile had not come into
existence and as one might imagine, 1t
was q real mans job, that boy was ex-
pected to fill since 1t was not an uncom-
mon occurrence to be awakened at or 3
O'Clock in the morning, II you happened
to be on that night, and to receive
message to be carried to Soldiers Home,
or perhaps Anacostia, or some other out
of-the-way place, and one can imagine
it took very nervy chap to do it,
Many of our messenger boys of today
If there are still any left, would quit cold
if asked to walk to Anacostia to deliver
a message at about or o'clock in the
morning and we could hardly blame
boy if he objected to do 1t, for it would
be asking whole lot of him, especially
il he were in any way timid. Many will
recall Elijah j. Bugbee, manager for
some time of the Atlantic e. Pacific Tele-
graph Co., and later with the Western
Union. He was an unusually fine man
and the boys under him always held him
in high esteem
It was indeed logical to locate the

historic reasons, or as a memorial, per-
haps, to the newspaper men of by-gone
days who have long since gone to their

THE GAP WIDENS

Aaskans must realize that after July Il, the States will no longer be matter of several hours away by air, a few days by boat From July Il on for all practical purposes, the States will be 15 days a haf-month, away And then only for those per sons who have legitimate reasons for travelling
 Thus the gap between Alaska and the continent al United States begins to widen more. The first sense of separation camewith the censorng of mail a necessary war measure Then came difficulties ir travel then regulations and the most strict regulations.
 Apparently the Western Defense Command has two good reasons for limiting travel much as pos sble first because there certain amount of haz- ard connected with trip by boat. Jap subs, by recent attacks on Vancouver Island and on the Oregon coast represent certain hazard. Second the military forces must have enough difficulties to overcome in transportation between Alaska and the States without having to fight with civilians over travel accomodations
 Most Aaskans make up their minds now that they must stay put until get this thing in the Pacific settled We can enjoy pleasure trips later

Neglected Opportunity
(Bremerton News-searchiightj


 Time observes that experts are convinced that China has been great military opportunity which the U S. has neglected-an opportunity which if not grasped may not exist much longer" Chna's greatest need now is planes, pilots mechanics and gasoline. And Chinese airfelds provide the perfect take-off points for raids on Japan proper. The great indus trial city of Nagasak for instance is only three hours by air from Chekiang Formosa is closer still All im portant military obectves in Japan can be reached with relative ease.
 The raid on Japan made by Brgader General Doolitte's squadrons demonstrates that Japan is really vulnerable to air attack. He and his fliers reported that every target hit according to plan, and that Japanese deenses didn't amount to much. The fact that every American plane reached friend ly field is proof of that. Japanese radio broadcasts following the raid obviously designed to buck up civilian morale-which certainly indicates that the Japanese people didn't enjoy the American air visit at all Many an Amercan bomber, with crews and spare parts, is likely to go to China in the fu- ture Tokyo hasn't the last of United Nations growing air power.

 If Petain didn't keep faith with us what can we expect from the unspeakable Laval?
 If We can't trust Vchy in France, we can't trust Vichy in North Africa

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compet'
FRIDAY, JULY 3

Adverse planetary aspects rule to- day which may bring disappointing news of some sort. It is not lucky day for signing legal papers of any sort.
 HEART AND HOME: Nasty mar riages may change many home plans for the Summer. City houses will be closed or offered for sale. Apartments and cottages will be sought as domestic economies be- come more imperative. Temporary dwellings supplied for Government workers will prove inadequate Oo meet the needs of shifting popu- lation. Fears of bombing of east and west coasts will cause added housing difficulties as many fam lilies seek dwellings in interior cities
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Pluto's in- fluence since. last May will affect money and business. Economic re- i forms of various sorts will be dis cussed as Saturn and Uranus con- tinue to exercise power. Specula- tion should be avoided. Schemes of novel character will invite wage earners to invest their money but the stars presage losses in ventures of all kinds. Government bonds should absorb the savings of the people, for the stars forbid risks of money.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Sweeping reductions in the number of federal, state and county Government em- ployes will be urged as many over | Tapping duties are discovered in public service. Economies will be demanded with rising emphasis as taxes increase and low income groups carry heavy burdens. The opulence of the few will irritate the many who find difficulty in making both ends meet The Autumn is to bring investigations and sensational discoveries regarding the high cost of carrying on the business of the people
 INTERNATIONAL AFFA IR $ :: Inasmuch as the aspects affecting London seem to presage tendencies making for peace and reconstruc- ton, astrologers read great promise for the success of democracy. Warn ing is given that the only peace that will last must follow the de- feat of the Axis powers, but the seers encourage early planning for postwar conditions. The present conflict will extend over many months, it is forecast, and many years must elapse before the de- struction wrought in Europe and Asia can be overcome by the res toration work of liberated peoples Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune, but they should be careful about spending money
 Children born on this day prob lably will be lucky all through life for they should be brilliant in mind
 and strong in body.
