Diplomats returning from the Near East report that one all-im- portant result of the inspiring Afri- can campaign is it's effect upon Turkey
 This country, the key to Nazi invasion of the Asiatic Near East has very quietly sent troops to an obscure, but one of the most inn portant corners of the map-west Turkey in the Trebizond area which skirts the Black Sea. This is the area where Nazi troops were ex- pected to land in order to get around the high mountains of the Caucasus and push on into Iran and Iraq
 Such move would endanger the British in Syria and Palestine also the Russian oil fields, also would cut off all supplies to Rus sia from the Persian Gulf.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Is

This is an uncertain day in plane tary direction but benefic aspects dominate in a slight degree. The morning is suspicious for aviators.
 HEART AND HOME: This should be a fortunate sway for the making of plans that are con- ducive to domestic comfort and prosperity. Old persons should benefit and many will find com fort in valuable work for war needs. Their counsel will be appre- ciated, for young persons, so self sufficient in peacetime, will real ize their need of direction. Rever- sion to conservative ideals for home and society will follow an early war period of too much lib- erty. Girls are warned against &C., ceptance of a code of association with men in uniform which is diff ierent from Puritan standards.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The new Moon of this month, which was read as presaging the importance i ot financial problems, seems to 1 forecast Congressional differences of opinion regarding the latest taxes. Suits to fix obligations on the part of individuals and corpor- ations are indicated Despite con- tinued prosperity, sales of stamps i and bonds may be unsatisfactory Means of causing obligatory pur- chases will be discussed at an early date.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As Thanks giving draws near grave questions regarding war regulations will be viewed with more or less appre- hension The stars presage a mem orable holiday, however, for good news from war fronts may be ex- pected. Vacancies in many home circles will cause deep sorrow, but there will be excess of courage and resignation as the high pur- poses of national sacrifice are real ized War work will bring surcease from sorrow to many women. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR 5: Ferocious fighting is foreseen for the remainder of the month. Oi- fensives will be attempted in many 1 parts of the world and again Brit ain will be in supreme peril. Pro- mise of not only a second front put concerted drive by the Unit ed Nations which spreads out ir many offensives is given in the planetary conformations. This month is to record supreme con- flict in which it is proved that Axis successes were mere prefaces to future defeats. Grave respolis:- bilities will increase for the United States.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the augury of a year of req prosperity. Extraordinary expert erices are foretold.
 Children born on this day vii be prudent and resourceful. They will probably be philosophical oi religious inasinuch as they vii aspire to spiritual knowledge.

WAR MOVES MORE EFFICIENTLY

WIPE executive Maury Maverick who has been sitting close to the war picture in Washington, has just come back from the Pacific Coast with a refreshing report on the way things are moving.
 In Washington things move slow ly. And officials who bat their head against stonewalls of red tape, sometimes get hopelessly dis outraged. However, Maverick has reported to other WIPE officials that when you get out into the rest of the country, especially on the Coast, you really realize how fast the war is going.

LOUIS HOPES FOR
FURL OUCH FOR
BLACKBURN RITES

CAMP UPTON, N. Y, April 25
(UPD Private Joe Louis, world
heavyweight champion, hoped for a
furlough today to attend the fune-
raj of his trainer and close friend,
Jack Blackburn, at Chicago Tues
day or Wednesday.
Blackburn's unexpected death
yesterday at Chicago was the hard
est blow the champion ever re-
ceived, he said.
But because Blackburn was not
relative and because Army reg
ulations make no exceptions for
heavyweight champions, Jolting
Joe's furlough was matter of
routine-to be obtained just like
any other buck private's.
Major John j. OLeary, post duty
officer, explained that Louis was
completing his basic 10 weeks of
training at noon today, and that
Joe's application for the furlough,
after noon, probably would be
considered favorably."
