Perhaps, said Ken. Amy in

Yes. The old johnson farm"
That dump!' Ken exclaimed.
IT'S been deserted for years-and

The Allied commanders may with good reason
rub their eyes and ask if what they see is true
Sicily is being conquered with astonishing ease. Less
than three weeks ago it was a bombed but unlnvad-
ed part of Mussomi's diminishing empire It's coast
line defiantly awaited assault Since then Gen
Esenhowers command has landed fully equipped
armies from distant points, supplied them, reinforced
them and driven across the breadth of the island
In 1940 with a smaller distance to traverse Hit
ller did not dare a similar attempt upon the British
Isles
The fact that Sicily has been a pushover does
mot mean that the assault on the italian mainland
Tor on any other European sector can be accom-
Iplished with similar ease The defense of Sicily has
been SO weak as to suggest that the Axis had no
real hope of successful battle there
The Italians apparently have made no serious
use of the deep defense" to which the Scilian ter
rain easily lends itself This type of defense avoids
head-on clash with the invaders in force, ana con-
centrates instead scattering machine guns, anti
tank guns and artillery a wide inland area. Had
such a strategy been applied in a adequate
manner it might have slowed the Allied advance
until the conquest of Sicily could have become a
matter of months
Instead the invaders have waded through town
after town. down valleys and over mountains over
whelming an enemy which had been given ample OPP
portlmity to fortify the islands. The results were
accomplished under the handicaps Of transporting
men, guns tanks trucks, ammunition and food
across the Mediterranean from African ports
There will be a natural impulse to assume that
if Sicily represents all the Axis has to offer the rest
will be easy and the is as good as won No
doubt the Nazis would like to have the British and
American publics take that view 1t would result IN
sackening of the efforts and less prepared
ness for the sacrifices long and difficult war would
entail
But after Sicily, what?
1t would be folly to assume that Hitler will not
defend his European fortress to the limits OF his
strength The Kaiser could lose war and spend
the balance of his years in peaceful obscrity To
Hitler the loss of the present war will mean at the
least his freedom and at the most his life and
place in history as defeated scoundrel rather than
as a conquering genius He can be expected to take
no other course than last-ditch fight
Catania the one Scilian point where the COM
bined German and italian forces have established de-
termined resistance provides warning against over
optimism There the battle seasoned British Eighth
Army has been held up more than week.
1t is dangerous to look upon Sicily as measure
of the future. The fall of the island will provide
strategic advantages to justify its conquest But its
intrinsic value lies only in its ultimate contribution
to the downfall of Adolf Hitler From the heights of
Palermo there is a long, hard road to Berlin

Harold L. Ickes, interior Secretary

Meanwhile, elements within the
oil industry and Congress are trying
to find means of encouraging more
discovery and enlarged production
of natural petroleum. For four years
there has been a declining rate in
the number of new oil fields found
each year. Discoveries since 1899
have been only about half OF the
consumption rate.

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE-
TENSE COMMAND - Soldiers in
Alaska are a long way from going
to seed mentally in spite of the lone
illness of some of their posts, and
the Special Service section of the
Alaska Defense Command is equally
anxious to provide guarantees that
they don't.
Always interested in the morale of
his troops, Lit. Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, Jr., commander of the AL
aska Defense Command, has cam
paigned vigorously to carry civiliza-
ton, or a reasonable facsimile there
of, to the lonely outposts scattered
from the Arctic to the tip of the
Aleutians.
A review of these activities, under
the direction of Lit Col John t.
Carlton, ADO Special Service Of
ficer, shows the Special Service
group has gone far toward trans
forming army life in Alaska.
Ar entertainments
Small radio stations are one of the
most important factors in providing
entertainment at some outposts
where, in numerous cases, soldiers
could get only Tokyo broadcasts on
their radios previously. These small
post stations, of from Is to so watts

at Adak, Dutch Harbor, Kodiak,
Seward, Sitka. Nome and Cold Bay
Five more stations, one at Attu, are
scheduled for construction or have
been constructed.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, AUGUST IL

Benefic aspects rule strongly on
this day that is supposed to be i'll
onened. Good news from many
war fronts is indicated by the con-
figuration.
HEART AND HOME. Women
should be especially fortunate to-
day which stimulates their ambi-
lions and stirs their emotions. 1t is
day for the elimination OF mid
summer romances, lucky for mar
riage engagements and a happy
wedding date, even though it is
Friday the thirteenth. The stars
promise good fortune from begin
nings OF many sorts, especially Tor
the establishment of new homes.
Under this sway women OF stage
and screen should be exceedingly
lucky.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Despite
taxes and the high cost of living
the margin of national income
above what is needed by citizens
of the United States has been ris-
ING in recent months. Astrologers
who read the stars as well as the
charts of financial experts fore
cast great anxiety in Washington
over the failure of Government
theorists to prevent initiation IN
creased taxation will be advocated
in Congress but will not be accept
ed without prolonged discussion,
they prophesy.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers
who years ago advised American
girls to choose the profession OF
nursing prognosticate the greatest
need of well trained women in the
many government hospitals estab-
lished in the United States. Long
before the nation entered the world
war the seers foretold the present
difficulties which may be even more
serious next month. Predictions
which have been proved correct
were not needed and prophesies Of
events to come will be as little eff
fective except among the few who
study occultism.
INTERNATIONAL A F F AIR S
The terrible conflict of this sum-
mer has proved the immensely of
war possibility and the futility of
wishful thinking that victory can
be won speedily. According to the
seers miracles will be accomplished
by the United Nations but not UNI
til this time next year can they
hope even to vision the close OF
the most extensive and most
frightful war in all history The
wise will count recent victories
with thankfulness as they pray for
the coming of peace.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of sue
cess which may be tinged with re-
grets for changed family conditions
Marriages will be numerous among
| these Leo folk.
Children born on this day prob.
ably will be courageous, industri-
Gus and successful. They SHOULD
be exceedingly intelligent.
