1.-THE stars incline
but do not compel"
SATURDAY, MAY /

, Benefic aspects rule today which
should be suspicious for national
affairs. affecting the people. AVA
ton is under a good direction Of
the stars.
HEART AND HOME: In many
cities this date will be marked by
an extraordinary number OF re-
movals from long occupied houses.
MANY mansions will be vacated in
the changing conditions Of wartime
and will be taken over for public
uses. Centers for the rehabilitation
of men wounded in the war will
be conducted on novel lines which
assure the wisest mental and phys
ical development. 1t is recalled that
astrologers have warned that the
number of victims of this conflict
viii! be greater than in any pre-
vious national combat.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Surprising
activity in the stock market is in
dicated for this month when spec
ulation regarding the crops OF ls43
will be of unusual interest. Ration
ing of many essential articles will
be felt by the retail trade. but buy
ing will be brisk through the month.
Curtailment of black market activi-
ties will be disappointing in many
parts of the country where self
ishness will manifest itself in re-
lation to food.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Civilians
who resent the Slight discomforts
and sacrifices due to rationing and
other war restrictions will contri-
butte to growing groups Of men and
women inclined to nurse small
grievances, astrologers forecast
Thus internal perils will supple
ment those on battle fronts. Criti-
eism of war policies will be prevail
ent among persons who cannot
grasp public problems. Fifth col
umn strength will be augmented,
also. by irresponsible writers OF
what they call liberal views"
INTERNATIONAL A FAIRS:
Neptune's aspects do not bring re-
assurance regarding our naval Sc
curity. The submarine menace will
continue, but much interference
with Axis efforts is forecast United
Nations finally will defeat the
Nazis in their special game of un-
dersea attacks, but heavy losses will
be sustained before midsummer.
Again desperate and savage mea-
sures by the enemy are prognosti-
Gated. Victory will come slowly,
sometimes following reverses, the
seers emphasize.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of financial
security. Journalists should gain
much by their professional acu-
men,
Children born on this day pro-
badly will be vigorous and eper-
getic, mentally alert and especially

AIR PRISONERS IN GERMANY

AIR PRISONERS IN GERMANY
The fate of American filters III
the Doolittle raid has raised the
question: What happens to airmen
who go down over Europe? Here
is the answer from an officer OF
the U. S. bomber command in
England.
If filters bail out and get down
safely over France, Belgium or
occupied Europe, their chances of
getting back to England are pretty
good They become prisoners OF war,
but in the course of exchanging
prisoners, they may soon get back
to base.
If they bail out over Germany
there's not much chance OF get
ting back. But so far as we know,
the treatment Of air prisoners is
sfnila to that of other prisoners,
ard varies according to rank
There is one incident, however,
that damns the German record
the story of Paddy Finucane Most
people suppose that the famous
Raj ace lost his life because his
Spitfire crashed into the channel
after being hit over France.
The truth is-though this has
never been published-that as Fin
ucane was falling, he was strafed
by German machine gunfire. and
he was already dead when he hit
the water.
Thus a new meaning comes to
Finucane's famous phrase. This is
it, chaps"

lOT pIlSOueIS.
Like woodsmen who have spent
lifetime hunting, Goums have
developed an intimate knowledge
of the rough wooded hills of North
Africa and abnormally keen senses
of sight and hearing.
They set out, with their odd rifles
and sharp knives. in a struggling
column, leaving known roads as
soon as possible. Unlike most native
troops, they like night operations
and usually manage to reach a
lying up point right under the
enemy's nose. At dawn they rush
the position, before the enemy has
any idea they are within miles.
Goums are recruited from the
mountains of Morocco. They are all
volunteers. During the days after
the defeat of France. the Goums
were held together as potential
fighting force by ruse. The Axis
Armistice Commission was told that
they were labor gangs.
The Counter individual member
of Goum unit wears his hair in
an odd-looking queue under a dis
tinctive turban. His main outer
garment is a white
burnous-which looks like a loose
slip over dressing gown.
His ostensible armament is a
rifle slung over his shoulder and
dirk at his belt. But inside the
voluminorls folds of his burnouSe
are other odd knives, pistols AND
grenadeS.

Perhaps our leaders planned wrong in declaring
it the policy to go after Germany first. But wrong
or not it seems that it is too late to change and
we must back leaders for all we're worth.
During the recent bond drive it was notice
able that sales Jagged in the Western States-a sign
that the residents of the Pacific Coast were little
mad about the way things we're gong-a silly and
dangerous attitude. We were glad to see that Alas
kans went over the top with much to spare, and
we're certainly a long way from Germany.

The Nazis have threatened to
stop French fishing boats from OPP
Grating off the Atlantic coast near
Gibraltar, because of the large
number of crew assertions to the
British.
Whenever the French boats show
up in this area, the British Navy
sends out small, fast ocean going
cutters with loud speakers. The
cutters pull up a short distance
away and soon the fishermen near
a rumbling voice announce:
IF any Of you men want to join
up with the Allies to fight these

and start swimming. We will pick
