THAN THAT OF A SALVATION ARMY CALL The Salvation Army is not merely preaching the possibility of a “better and brighter world,” but putting in a good deal of energy into the making of it. Next week the local cor once more makes its annual appeal for its maintenance drive to the citi- zens of Juneau and Douglas, and friends of the Army in the community will support the drive this year as they have supported it in the past. Capt. Stanley Jackson of the local post states that the appeal is not being made upon the magniticent history of the Army’s past, its work during the war, or its work of social uplift in the days gone by, but for the same Army, the same service, and the same spirit that is laboring at our own door in'Juneau today The Salvation Army in Alaska, as in the other ninety- countries and colonies in which the Army carries on its operations, stands as a friend to all, irrespective of creed, color, race, or station in life It stands res to stretch out a hand to restore, befriend and counsel all who stand in need. Bec: € of the very nature of the work much publicity cannot be given to it Most people wish to be correctly informed with regard to the organization or institution to which they may subscribe, and local officers will furntsh any information that is desired.

HITLER MOVES AGAIN Again the strong man of Germany reveals that might, regardiess of its copybook association with right, achieves its objective. In probability the boldest move he has made since he occupied the Rhineland in defiance of the oid Allied nations, Hitier has moved Into Austria and late news reports indicate that the Nazification of that country virtually is assured. Chancellor Schuschnigg of Austria has “bowed to the German will,” which is tantamount to admit- fing that the German war lord has the situation well in hand. Europe is again secthing in uncertainty but cur- rent dispatches indicate that the alarm will soon die down just as it has died down on other occasions when Hitler made drastic moves in the international . picture. Italy, the avowed ally of Germany, announces that she will not interfere in the German-Austrian affair. Great Britain, alleged by some to be pro- German under the Neville Chamberlain leadership, is significantly silent, except for a gesture of warning which appears to carry no force. Only impotent France, who sees trouble ahead with Fascist na ions on all her borders, raises the cry that she will act in a “most vigorous manner,” which probably will net be very vigorous if she has to act alone The day doubtless will come when Hitler will e " him and baby are Elsie (left), *) HOPE IT'S THE LAST,’ said 83- Ida Mae, recently born at farm near Gradyville, Pa. “We're running out of names,” he explains.

VIERCIAL and SAVINGS Behrends ‘ Alaska er Two and llion Dollars planetary aspects are active through this day. It is a date that may be disturbing to long-established reli- zious faiths. Uranus is in a position believed to ourage interest in the establish- ed churches. Persecution in many parts of the world will become bit- ter. In the United States many new cults will flourish and spiritualists will gain followers. Mediums of ex- traordinary cleverness may develop. Conflicts resulting in widespread bloodshed are prophesied. Race superstitions will contribute to up- risings in Europe as well as Asia. The Japanese will assume a more fanatical devotion to their Emperor and their ancient traditions as spring advemces, it is forecast. The deaths of a noted prelate and a military leader are prognosticated The spring is to bring sad tidings of the end of many great careers. Stringent laws affecting ports and shipping will be pased by the British Parliament and discussed by Congress. Strikes will cau in- creased anxieties in the business world. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of increased expenses and a few heavy losses. Speculation of every sort should be avoided. Children born on this day pro- bably will maintain a high stan- dard of achievement. Subjects of this sign usually are very intelli- gent. Hugo Wolf, German composer, was born on this day 1860. Others who have celebrated it as a birth- day include Ernest Ingersoll, natur- alist and writer, 1852; Jefferson Da- vis Sandefer, university president, 1868. MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1938 This should be a day of activity in all branches of business and pro- fessional work. The week begins, according to astrology, with benefic aspects dominating. This is a planetary government stimulating to enterprise and the launching of ambitious projects. It is promising for building operations. There is a sign indicating deli- berate mis-representation abroad regarding the policies and plans of the United States government. New international pacts will be formed, it is forecast. If the stars are rightly read the United States cannot keep aloof * from any future European conflict of magnitude. Allies will be needed y the nation, due to an effort to encroach on American territory, it is foretold. The summer should be fortunate for American farmers, merchants and manufacturers. A trend toward more independent marketing many states is indicated. Taxes will be widely discussed in | |the United States, but there is no prospect of relief, if the seers are 'to be believed. This is a fortunate date for shop- ping. Women are advised to make generous purchases before econo- ! my is preached in the domestic cir- cle. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of hard work that promises success. There may be opportunity to acquire valuable possessions. Children born on this day pro- bably will be determined in char- acter ‘and practical in their ideas Subjects of this sign may find avia- tion a successful vocation.
