HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY, JUNE 10

This is not noteworthy day in
planetary government. The major
sign is threatening to labor which
NAV cause a national sensation.
HEART AND HOME: This is not
a favorable date for the important
professional activities of women.
Those most fortunate in having
homes will turn to domestic tasks,
foremost of which should be pre-
paration of food. Early canning is
recommended by those who fore
cast events for the next few months.
Wise women will not put off any
household tasks lest the weeks
should bring public service which
prevents attention to the home.
The summer is to be marked by
dramatic experiences for American
civilians.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The slow
decline of the purchasing power of
the dollar will be realized with an
xiety by the financiers of the ma
ton. The stock market will be ex-
ceedingly sensitive to international
events, but industrials will continue
to attract purchasers. Benefits from
renewal of lend-lease will by this
date be apparent. Stress and strain
in supplying our scattered armed
forces will be felt by Washington
officials.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Grave
emergencies and changes in many
lives will cause apprehensions and
suspicious which are not justifiable
Criticism of war policies will be
encouraged by secret agencies IN
the United States. Men and women
in high places are likely to be af-
fected by planetary influences which
encourage confusion and even
treachery Advocates of leniency in
treatment of enemy aliens will play
into the hands of the enemy.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S:
Jupiter eliminating at Singapore
presages good fortune for the ra-
vaged city before the end of the
summer, while Venus eliminating
at Manila seems to give promise
of improved conditions in tn c
Philippines which in time will be
recovered under the most specta-
cular circumstances. The patriotism
Of the Filipinos is TO be rewarded
in the future by the evolution OF
a nation which will command q
prominent place among the indie
pendent democracies 81
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of fair
success and average progress. The
health should be safeguarded.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be dependable, patient and
orderly as well as artistic and am
bilious. Moodiness may require wise
mental training.

years have passed since then. The
same law remains on the statute
books. But otherwise things have
changed. Among other things, Con-

bad in 1906, seems to smell pure

Capture Of Sardinia
Provides Allies With
Tremendous Problem,
BY IVES GALLAGHER,
Associated Press War Correspondent.


MACOMER, SARDINIA, Oct. 18.-
Except for the prospect of getting
100000 tons Of coal from this
island within the next year. the
Allies have annexed a prize head
ache in SARDINIA,
Coal, with its corresponding saw
ing in shipping, is the only bright
spot III the dismal prospect of hay
ing to feed about 10000 in the
resident Army plus $4,000 spiritless
ltanan soldiers coming from Corsica
Italian Gen. Basso, the COM
mander, has told an Allied military
mission headed by British briga-
dlCr that all the Italian soldiers
will be out of food in three weeks
and the civilian population will be
without bread in six weeks. The
normal population Of the island
has been increased 26 per cont by
idle soldiers.
No Fighting Apparent.
The peaceful capltulation of the
island was brought about when 1t
Col. Serge Ooolensky, New York
City society figure, dropped by
parachute on the night of Septem-
Der l3 with a personal message to
Gen. Basso from Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower Col. Obolensky was
accompanied by two American lieu
tenants and a British sergeant.
He managed to make contact with
the Italian high command without
meeting The Germans. Gen. Eisen-
hover asked Gen. Basso to turn
or the Germans who had between
10000 and $4,000 troops on the
island
A trip from Cagliari at one end
Of the island to SasSari at the other
fails to reveal any sign of fighting.
However. Nor do the Italians on
the island claim any engagements
with the Germans, who apparently
departed at their leisure
The only damage done to the
Germans was by the Allied air
forces. More than 200 wrecked Ger
man planes dot five main air
dronos on the island.
Fields Need Work.
These 9ir fields may be turned
to use Of the American and British
air forces for attacking France and
Germany but all will require a
great deal of work before they are
suitable for heavy bomber opera
tons during the winter
Italian commander Basso has been
cooperating with the Allied mission
but his force Of nearly 100000 men
appears incapable Of executing even
the simplest order efficiently IN
every town there are hundreds Of
idl" soldiers Just sitting around
while nearby fields remain untitled.
In three months the Italian mill
tary has not lifted a hand to clear
up Cagliari and remove hundreds
Of bodies which threaten a plague.
They plead lack of transportation
and other excuses, although the
island abounds in horse carts which
could be used.
The soldiers admit they want no
more war They do not want to
fight the Germans or any one else.
They just want to 30 home.

Output Says Badly.
In their peak years the mines put
out about 100000 tons a month, but
under the impetus of the sliding

Officers Like Life.
One Italian sergeant, who was
born in Midwest American city
and drafted into the army while
on a visit to his Sandman home,
said: The soldiers all want to quit
but some of the officers would like
to stay in the army because they
hope to make more money now
than they would in civilian life.

 Thorn Scrntch Fatal
 They practice other little niceties. River lords are filled with thorns and jungle branches coated with two-irch spikes. Native volunteers love to paint the thorns with Q poi- son that makes even a scratch fatal.
 A favorite occupation is to dig e pit, { feet deep, and fill the bottom with sharpened, fire hardened barn- boo splints ''pungis" they call them. It looks like a pin-cushion in reverse until it's covered over with jungle weeds and vines and e trail is led right up to 1t.

reversed. The Russians hold the iHl- itiatlve along the whole front. They took @ terrible toll of Germans dur ing the violent winter offensive, which retook two-thirds of the Ger man summer gains.
 They have thwarted the Nazi Stalingrad effort and for the first time launched Q summer offensive against the Germans which gradual " spread to most of the vital Rus sian sectors.
 Tn Africa the Nazis are cleaned out completely and the Allies have won the Sicilian springboard to Italy, topping Mussolini and putting Italy on the verge of total defeat.
 Allies Tops In Air
 In the air war the Allies have won full superiority in southwest Europe, devastated huge sections of the Ruhr, knocked out Hamburg as Q war production center and forced the Nazis into defensive fighter warfare, in which theater destruc- ton of Nazi fighters is believed ex- ceeding production--a certain sign the Luftwaffe eventually will be driven from the skies.
 At sea the U-boats appear licked, with the destruction rate at one sub per day and massive Allied supply conveys flowing across the Atlantic virtually unhindered.
 U. s. Navy Has Edge
 In the Pacific the Japanese have been held ct bay-the campaigns of New Guinea, the Solomons and the Aleutians have bitten into the outer periphery of Jap positions, and the big building program and Jap losses in sea battles have given the Amer ican Navy @ new edge over the ene- my.
 In London and on the fighting fronts there is confidence that the fifth year of war will be the final year, but how soon the decision against Germany can be won still Is questionable.
 No Hope For Hitler
 The Germans have not yet been met and beaten on the western Flu ropean battlefront. But as Hitler looks forward to the third year of winter war in Russia, at tRe Italian collapse and obvious desire by Ger man satellites to get out of the war while the getting is good, at the swing of European neutrals sharply toward the Allied camp, at the ever increasing impact of day and night bombing which already has over-extended the Luftwaffe, at the deadly toll of U-boats by the Allies In the Atlantic and the obvious heightening of the tempo of prepar- ations for a frontal assault on Eu- rope, there's hardly a single ray of hope for him to cling to.
 At the opening of the wars fifth year the Nazi dreams have been col lapsed like pricked balloon-all that remains is final military defeat.

 Russians Were Retreating
 Tn Russia, the German troops ad- vanced powerfully on Stalingrad and were within cannon range of the city. German columns were knif- ing ahead toward the Caucasus, starming Anapa south of the lower Kuba1, attacking the Taman Pe- ninsula, and the fall of Novorissisk was only Q few days distant.

 In the Pacific, the difficult Allied advance on Kokoda was progressing slowly, while the Japs still were landing achievements on Guadal- canal in an effort to wrest the is- land from the U. S. Marines slen- der hold.

 At sea the Allies were struggling against one of the worst problems in the Battle of the Atlantic-the opening of new hunting ranges for U-boets off United States and South American coasts. The situation was improving slowly, but 1t was far too early for anyone to guess whether the menace was yet licked.

 Seldom are you humbled in thought as frequently as you are in reading of this French patriots experiences in series of German war prison camps. Betrayed by officer in the German rout of the badly disciplined and ill-syn- chronized French army, hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen were imprisoned by the Nazis, taken to camps as prisoners of war, fully expecting to be released with the signing of the armiStice.
 How sadly disillusioned! Tor tured, suffering from dysentery and undernourished, the ragged army of La Belle France became a horde of sefs, slaving in feudal fashion under the yoke of Nazism.
