HE JUMPED THE GUN

Senator Russell also gave Lodge a rough dressing-down for violat- ing the common rudiments of sena- torial courtesy by rushing into print with his own personal advance re- port on the trip. After it had been agreed that the five Senators would wait and make report together to the assembled Senate, Lodge jumped into the Senate arena one week In advance and got his spiel off his chest.
 Senators Brewster, Republican, of Maine, and Democratic Jim Mead, of New York. also took tfle floor in secret session to denounce Lodge. The young Senstor must have had a premonition of what was coming for he had ducked out the day be- fore. All his critics could do, there fore. was to gesture towards his empty seat. st
 NOTE-A not her thing which rolled the Senators was the discov- cry that Lodge had sold the maga- zine rights to his story of the battlefront tour to prominent weekly publication Thus, despite the secret session, Lodge will nov rush into print.

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not cOmpel'
SATURDAY, OCTOBER l6

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. The stars are stimulating to the clergy who tomorrow should have power to speak inspiring words. A great increase of interest i in Bible study will continue.
 HEART AND HOME: Although many women are enjoying economic independence they will benefit by seeking advice from the men of their households. There is a sign today favorable to fathers of war workers. This is a time when bal ance should be sought in rapidly changing social conditions. Women should not assume masculine ways and should not lose sight of the fact that human nature is dependent upon two points of view, the mas culine and the feminine.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With an. increase of more than one hundred per cent in the amount of money in circulation since 1889 imitation will advance beyond the present level, 1t is forecast. Scientific ef- forts to prevent further effects of wartime conditions will be success ful to limited degree. Again there will be generous buying for the holi- day season Luxuries will be sought. Jewellers should profit and furriers may expect big trade.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Heavier tax burdens will be necessary, but DOT tents of strain are forecast for per- sons of average incomes. Our Am erican way of life will be maintain cd stubbornly by many families in which several members are now wage-earners and their influence will be felt. The Winter, however, is to bring definite realization of the meaning of sacrifice, according to astrologers, and thrift is recom- mended. Increased cost of war and expanding need of relief in Europe and Asia are presaged.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :: Russia continues under aspects that promise continued demonstrations of power Jupiter, stationary on Stalin's midheaven, an exertmely suspicious indication, seems to in- dicate steagy progress The element of mystery which is present always 1 in the future plans of Russia's man of destiny will continue to be sub- ject of speculation. A foreign oc- culist predicts that with Hitler de- feated Russia will declare war on Japan.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes and travel which will be fortunate Unexpected opportunities will be lucky.
 Children born on this day will be fortunate through their lives, fol they will have strong individuality and varied talents. Libra natives usually have even dispositions.

Hatred Becomes Unanimous
Cincinnati Enquirer


 The few, eyewitnesses who have managed to escape from bombed, battered and burning Naples tell graphic story of Naz savagery toward the Italian populace-obviously wreakng revenge upon the help less public for the supposed treachery' of the Italian Government in quitting the Hostages have been executed in numbers reminiscent of the early days of the fall of Poland residents of Naples have been shot promicuously upon the streets when they dared to venture out after nightfal many have been flogged in the streets for the slightest violation of German traffic rules according to these reports
 The ruthessness of the Germans toward their erst- while allies officially confirmed, of course, in the Nazi announcement that 100 Italian hostages shall die for each German soldier killed wounded in the occupied territory This hideous form of brutality has been practiced throughout Europe
 The Nazis may succeed in cowing the Italian populace to the point where sabotage behind their lines is held to a minimum, but they are creating f themselves legacy of hatred which they will inherit sooner later The Germans already are hated tiie length and breadth of Europe with the exception of very few localities. They were disked by the ltallans in the main even while the Axis alliance stood But now every Italian is being given reason to hate Ger many with consuming passion
 As the Nazis grow more desperate in their war position of course they undoubtedly will resort to more and more extreme methods Of repression III dealing with their victims But then judging by past experience as soon as the Allied armies approach German soil the will drop their arms and howl for mercy and just peace.
 The terms of the peace are unpredlctabe But the lJazis may get justice rather than mercy, when their armed strength finally fails By their own conduct, their hideous calculated cruelty to all of the people who came into their power the Huns have lett them selves without true friend in Europe. There will be no one-certainly not now the Italians-to urge that they be shown mercy.
 We say no one-unless someone sells the United States bill of goods that the Nazis were just simple, poodhearted boys misunderstood by the rest of ths Ne trlst lives countless number of American boys to protect those for the rule of terror in Europe these last four years justice at the hands of the victims of their cruelty

IN eRANpFATHER's FOOTSTEPS

IN GRANDf Al hLh D
 Many years ago young Henry Cabot Lodge confided to close friends that it was his ambition to follow in the steps of his isolationist grandfather To this end he came to Washington as newsman, spec ialized in covering Capitol HiH where he could get acquainted With the Senate. Then after serving Ill the Massachusetts legislature he was finally elected to the U. D. Senate.
 Considered by his colleagues smarter than his grandfather, young Lodge cleverly laid the seeds for isolationist imperialism during his speech at the secret session What especially angered his col leagues was his statement that Am ericans would suffer million cas- ualties if Russia withheld air bases in Siberia.
 Senator Russell of Georgia, Chair man of the special world inspection committee, angrily jumped on Lodge for this, pointing out that Gen. Macarthur had expressed doubt as to whether U. s. troops could hold Siberian bases after they were given to us, because of their proximity to Japan.
