HOROSCOPE
1.-THE stars incline
bat do not Compel
Wednesday, March 3

Benefic aspects rule this day
which should be marked by great
events. Conflict on the oceans and
in the air is indicated. Ef
HEART AND HOME: Aged per-
sons in large numbers will reach
the close of their lives before mid
summer, it is prophesied. Among
them will be statesmen and wom-
en- long prominent in good works.
AS the new order develops those
who belong to the older genera
tons will vanish, leaving tradi-
lions which will be ignored for
period. In the course of the spir-
itual evolution which is to raise hui
mainly to the highest plane of un-
derstanding, universal brotherhood
will be recognized and accepted by
the democracies of the world
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In the i'm
provement of the financial systems
governing world trade and COM
merce the element of greed will be
eliminated SO far as possible the
seers prognosticate but, profit will
be recognized as stimulate for
progressive enterprise. Poverty is to
be a disgrace to any nation and
work will be dignified as never be-
fore. What have been called imprac-
teal ideas concerning the general
welfare of humanity are to be-
come realities, at first limited but
later extended.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Agitation
regarding offensives by the United
Nations will be persistent among
newspapers and citizens necessarily
ignorant of military plans and stra-
tegieS. In Washington there should
be unity of purpose among nation
al lawmakers who will show the in
fluence of planetary aspects more
or less disturbing. Growing super
iority in arms, equipment and mil
itary strategy will distinguish the
United Nations from the Axis pow
erS.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
Saturn and Uranus are in an aspect
threatening to the japanese. DAM
age to Tokyo by aerial attack is
prognosticated Fires willjldestroy
much of the city. Surprise is to
mark the United Nations plans,
which are to result in the final
defeat of the enemy in Asia. The
victory, however, will not be easy
and acts of treachery and barbar-
ism are presaged as desperation OBJ
sesses our Asiatic foes. Recent adj
verse transits of Saturn, Mercury
| and Mars will cause overconfidence.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of excep-
tional good fortune Unexpected fl
nancial good luck and professional
advancement will be experienced by
many
Children born on this day pro-
badly will have remarkable talents
which assure success and even
fame.

King Peter
 In England

London, Sept. 29-(UP)-King Peter of Jugoslavia arrived in Egypt from Britain today to help prepare for the eventual Allied offensive to liberate his homeland.
 Peters war minister. Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch, commands a we'll organized army in the mountains of Jugoslavia which is reported await ing only the Allied signal to open an offensive in conjunction with landing operations.
 A rival patriot army of Partisans under Gen. Josip (Tito) Brozovich was reported by London sources to be locked in fierce fighting with German troops around the Dalma- tian port of Split, which Berlin yes- terday claimed had been captured by Nazi forces.
 A communique issued by the Jugoslav army of liberation said the fighting particularly was severe at Sinj, IS miles east of Split, and Dr1iis, 25 miles north of the port.
 The communique did not make clear whether the Partisans still held Split, but reported that Ger man pressure on the sector was inc creasing.
 Violent street fighting was re- ported in susak, suburb of Plume at the northern end of the Adriatic sea, and the conmunique said Par- tisan forces also were on the ot1en- sive in southern Jugoslavia. The guerrillas were said to be advance ing against the Germans in that area after taking PljevlJe, 60 miles southeast of Sarajevo, and Gacko, 40 miles further west.
