the European division, the Far Eastern division, the American Re- publics division. Under each, a man is detailed to study certain country, it's trade, politics, its lead- CTS and it's problems. Many of these men are most intelligent, and among the nations most conscien- tous public servants.
 The fact remains, however, that most people in the United States, even in Washington, think of the State Department as a club of blue stocking Bostonians who wield their forks with their left hands and are no more representative of Ameri- can life than the Redskins whom their ancestors pushed west.
 Broadly speaking this is not true Yet there is just enough truth in it to make the picture persist. Out of the several thousand diplomats consuls, clerks and stenographers cnly a few deserve the epithets they get. However, these happen to be placed in strategic places where they constantly and consistently act as a cinder in the public eye

One of the intellectual writers on the staff of the New York Times recently went to the trouble of finding out just about how much the average tax payer contributes to the effort out of his income and how much the is costing in terms that are easier to understand.
 He started out with the man making S5O00 a year who pays about $OOO year in taxes One would think that when the costing the United States at the present rate of spending 900 hats billions for the year, that this man paying $1O00 year in taxes shares only small part of the burden But that isn't the
 Divide the 75 billions by 365 days in the year and you get daily expenditure of $200 100000 Divide this figure by A hours in the day and the approximate answer is SSOOOOOO Divide the latter figure by 60 and then by 60 again and you find that the war is costing us about S2O00 every second
 This shows then that the man with the $5,00O income is financing the all by himself at least the war effort of the United States for haf-secon
 Right now, residents of the Gastneau Channel are carrying on a campaign in the Third War Loan Drive to raise $250000 in bond purchases. The sales are now lowering around the $100,000 mark

 Plans were also made for the Molly Pitcher Tag Day, set for Oct 2, in which the Auxiliary will take part. Mrs. Bert Lybeck was appoint ed as chairman in charge of plans for the Auxiliary.
 Tentative plans were discussed for the prospective visit of the Depart ment President, Mrs. Myra Rank who is expected shortly, coming here from Fairbanks.

proxmatey 125 seconds-2 minutes and seconds
 A lot happen in war in ? minutes and , seconds That's long enough for the Italian Govern ment to pronounce unconditional surrender several times slowly. That's time enough for a German soldier to be saying He Hitler one minute and saying nothing the next minute and five seconds because he has a bullet hole in his head
 Two minutes and five seconds, which Gastneau Channel will finance if $2500Oo is raised, might be that lapse of time in the war when the Germans will accept unconditional surrender

NEW METHODS

They have seen what stream lined War Department can do With new, lightning methods which have revolutionized warfare. They have seen the navy perform miracles with armor plate, radar, and listening devices. They know that American genius and American efficiency are equal to anything. They expect that genius and that efficiency to be applied to winning the peace just as effectively as they have applied it to winning the war.
 Some of the Presidents best friends, including many inside his Cabinet and his administration, feel that putting American foreign policy, and the State Department which administers it, on the same streamlined basis as the War De- partment, is the most important and neglected task facing him.
 When Thomas Jefferson, the first Secretary of State, moved into his headquarters in Philadelphia, he had a staff of four clerks, one French interpreter, three Ministers and sixteen Consuls. His letters to Ministers were laboriously copied in the American letter book, required four to six weeks to reach their destination by Clipper ship, and sometimes were written in invisible ink with a notation on the outside "To be sunk in case of danger from the enemy
 The State Department has made great progress since then. Today a battery of telegraph operators work ing all night shifts, send and re- ceive messages from every corner of the world They are decoded mimeographed, and placed on the desks of the Secretary of State and his assistants within an hour after their arrival.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

rp1nAY SEpTEMBER 1O

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER lo This should be a fairly fortunate day. for Neptune in benefic aspects dominates. Adverse influences are mildly active.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are likely to be restless and nervous under this configuration which en- courages them to look on the dark side of things. Practice of stern | self discipline is urged by the seers who advise safeguarding the mmd against fear and anxiety by engag- ing in work that requires concen- tration and system. Girls need not look for romance under this sway Eligible men w;lI be few and they will be too cautious to assume do- mestic responsibilities, if they have been released from war service.
 BUSINESS AFFAIR s: Men of vision will begin to prepare for post war exigencies. Housing will be of first concern when millions of men return from foreign service. In all parts of the country building should be started as early as Government permits can be obtained. Alter the first World War the Own Your Own Home drive was made when shortage of houses became ser ious in every state. Novel ideas have been evolved for the employ ment of synthetics, glass and other materials.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: There is sign interpreted as warning of dangers due to congested centraliza- tion of the United States Govern ment in Washington. Agitation for states rights will be widespread, especially in districts previously un- interested in southern claims of broader functions than were accord ed after the Civil War, astrologers predict. Multiplicity of bureaus in the National Capital will arouse anxiety long before peace is achiev- ed and the intricate office machin- cry of war is dismantled Advo- cates of regional groupings that will relieve pressure on the city are i foreseen.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F AIR s: Astrologers who have predicted a long war, after announcing l943 as the decisive year, stress the sudden and unexpected as they read the skies. It is probable that l945 will be the year of victory but that does not mean that thousands of our men will not wear uniforms for sev- eral years while order is being de- veloped from chaos. Before mid winter it is predicted that Navy, Army and Air Forces will have gained equal glory in partnership Iof combat power unequalled in his tory
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of odd events in which it is wise to stick to old friends Travel and change are forecast for many men.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be original in their ideas War babies are believed to be es- pecially intelligent and individual.

Second Front Urging
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Pressure diplomacy is far from unknown art in the Kremln. Premier Josef Stalin blunt in some respects and devious in others, is master at ex- pressing his feelings through minor moves on the diplomatic chessboard.
 It would be silly to suppose, therefore that the shift in diplomats in Washington and London is entirely meaningless and the absence ot Soviet representative at the Quebec conference Cat least Tor those sessions which pertain to the European rather than Asiatic theatre of war is merely colncloence But many observers have eaped to what seems to us to be the wrong conclusion = the suppostlon tnat Staln is maneuvering toward a separate peace With Germany. e
 On the contrary we submit that the trend of russan gestures is for the quickest possible defeat of Germany Having gained the upper hand on the eastern front-a development highlighted by the suc cessye recapture of Orel Belgorod and Kharkov-the Russians are intensfyng rather than easing up ther military pressure on Germany. And stain mercy IS using what diplomatic devices he can to proo ehe Western powers into an invasion ol Cohsheii'ai Europe. - x z obviously he has developed fair amount of prcsslre upon the Anglo American chieftains Keen strategsts and diplomats that they are themselves President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchhi are far from insensible to the various maneuVers which have been engineered by the Soviet Govern nent to hasten second front. Somewhere along the line. evidently a second front was promised pre- maturely-and this undoubtedly mas been iocai poi of discord between the Allies
 We do not pretend to comprehend all oi the circumstances involved in the preparation of second front-and we doubt very much if anyone not hlgh in Allied councils does comprehend them lherelore' we have no gratuitous advice to offer on the matVe of A continental invasion This would seem to De a most opportune hour for such a move but this must be evident to the Allied military leaders.
