ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. CLOS National Newspaper Representa- Los Angeles, Portland, GEORGE D. CLOSE, Inc., with offices in_San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Boston. SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE — Prank J. Dunnine, 1011 merjcan Bank Building. Beattle OUR DEAR READERS Quite by accident we learned from our Circula- | tion Manager the other day that among subscribers to The Empire is German Consul General Fritz Wiedemann. We're wondering where to send from 2090 Jackson Street, San Francisco. The German Consulate in Ban Francisco has subscribed to our paper, it develops, for many, many years. Pays promptly too. Just now, Wiedemann is paid up to December 29, 1941. Among our other subscribers is the Imperial Japanese Consulate in Seattle, which has been tak- ing The Empire since 1932, and the Japanese Em- bassy in Washington, a reader since 1937. Whenever we print a particularly nasty editorial about the Japanese, the Consulate and Embassy send polite letters requesting extra copies and enclosing | the necessary nickels or dimes, the bookkeeper in- forms us. Must be more careful what we say. to offend any of our subscribers. HOW TIM Don't want CHANGE It wasn't so many months ago that we were reading in the paper day after day of the terrible| damage being inflicted on British cities and British shipping by German planes and submarines. Now the daily dispatches tell a different story: British submarines sink three Italian vessels in the Mediterranean. British planes sink two German ships. The Royal Air Force bombs Berlin and most of the other cities of Germany, besides the so-called | “invasion ports” of the English Channel. The war of attrition which they invented and pursued so relentlessly has at last caught up with| the Nazis. Techniques perfected by the Italians in Ethiopia and Albania and by the Germans inf Spain and Poland are being turned with equal fury on the Italians and Germans. The English have proved they can stand and take the worst the Luftwaffe has to offer. Now the| German people will be given the oppurtunity to show his paper after he changes his address in the near future | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1941. they can take it 4§ Wl‘l] as dlsn u outs ,Mlybe' Qpey | can. Many ‘of us suspect not, .The ‘Bim.sh petse- | vered with dogged determination because the British | | people were fighting for their lives and the existence | of their nation. It is worth taking a good deal of | “mm.\hmcnt to preserve life and liberty. The Ger— | mans, on the other hand, if they continue to take JLhe RAF pasting, will be doing se only to please leaders who have embarked on a campnign of quite unjustifiable conquest. Character will win the war. the British. We're betting on History’s Birthdays (Seattle Times) Alaska this month notes the two-hundredth an- niversary of the visit of Bering to her shores; Kan- sas has been celebrating the one-hundred fiftieth anniversary of a visit by Coronado; and now Ol Man River has an even older page of history to con- template. It was four hundred years ago this month that men of the white race first set foot on the shores of a mighty stream which they called the Grande, which we know as the Mississippi. Its discoverer was Hernando de Soto, the Spaniard, one of those who sought the storied wealth of the New World, having heard report that Florida and the territories { to the west abounded in treasures of gold and spices [ rivaling the riches of Peru. De Soto failed in this quest as Ponce de Leon failed to find the Fountain of Youth, and he died on the banks of the great river that crossed his path. His band of adventurers lowered his casket into the dark waters of the Mississippi by night, lest it be harmed by hostile Indians. The gold and precious stones De Soto sought {did not materialize. Yet he could not know that the river washed a valley which in a later day was to be the richest granary in the world and become the envy of greedier, more covetous adventurers than he. » Out of the Communiques (Cleveland Plain Dealer) The communique writers in Berlin and Moscow are enjoying a field day. From their impossible | claims and counter-claims two facts emerge: the Germans have penetrated Russia as far as the fam- ous Stalin line of fortifications, but in doing so they have paid a terrible price in men and material. Until now most of the fighting has taken place on terrain which Russia grabbed when she became Germany’s ally. Behind this buffer region compris- ing the Baltic states, Poland and Bessarabia, is the | Stalin line of fortifications on which Russia had | worked for years and on which she depends for her safety. The Stalin line consists of gun emplacements, pillboxes, tank traps, spider holes, machine gun nests to a great depth rather than a series of underground fortresses like the Maginot line. If it is no better !Lhfln Stalin’s political line it will crumble under the | | first assaults. | 1t is evident, even from German admissions, that the Russian campaign in these first two weeks has not been an easy undertaking. For the first time Hitler is compelled to use large numbers of men and great quantities of material. The blitzkrieg has failed to work. Reports that the Germans have with-| drawn reinforcements from France and other points in western Europe shows what a gigantic job is a war on a 2,000-mile front even with allies like the Finns, the Hungarians and the Rumanians and—oh, yes, the Italians. This is all to the good for the Allies. The British have been able to continue their bombing of Ger- | many and German-held Europe almost unopposed. Even if Hitler wins in Russia, as most observers an- | ticipate, he will emerge from that conflict with less men and less equipment than when he went in and consequently weaker. What he gains in Russian re- | sources will take a long time to develop for use. It | would, therefore, be criminal folly not to take imme- diate advantage of the time thus gained.

NOTE—The roof of the American Embassy in Berlin is made of a fabricated semi-paper substance, so that a member of-the Embassy staff has to inspect it periodically during every raid. Someone is on duty day and night in the Embassy. (Copyright, 1941; by United Fea- ture Byndicate, Inc.) | Russell Maynards fo J. 8. Potofsky of the Garment Work- ers, R. J.

The morning -may be debilitating and unfavorable to intensive effort. It is a lucky date for banks and banking. HEART AND HOME: The stars encourage average activity in import- ant matters. While it is not an aus- picious sway for improving or de- veloping future interests letters may bring happy tidings. It is a promis- | ing date for love missives, but girls should be careful to avoid decisions affecting future careers. It is not a lucky time to say “Yes,” to a proposal of marriage. The planets aid those | who are unselfish in their ambitions. Personal aimis now should be sub- merged as the tide of war rises. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Intense ac- tivity is forecast for all the marts| of trade as the wealth of the nation is | poured out for the perpetuation of | democracy. Unavoidable increase of | taxes will disturb many persons, but | average citizens will realize their| responsibilities in a period of great- | est national emergency. Financial | problems will be wisely reviewed with | promise of success in Government ' administration. Demands for Gpv-y ernment bonds will be greater ‘as| the days pass. NATIONAL ISSUES: Appalling| expenses incurred for national de- fense will quicken the money-con- sciousness of the people, Ecomm!eh‘ will be discussedd, but not practised by either the nation or its citizens.oA | dleicate prob*em of international fin~ ance will cause anxiety. Far-seeing acter. Despite war influences, how- | ever, many Americans will enjoy great affluence. 2 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: tures and peace overtures. Negotia- ted peace is under the most menac- ing portents. Treachery and plot- ting will be widespread among Axls leaders who will maintain the grand- iose idea of world domination despite misleading representions. Russia will keep all the Powers guessing while Communism is projected with add- ed skill and secret methods. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of excellent prospects. Change and travel are forecast. There should be great hap- piness, even in a world of choas. Children born on this day have the greatest possibilities. They should be inventive, talented and resourceful, endowed with artistic and occult powers with every chance for sue- cess in their careers. (Copyright, 1941.)

When two or more women enter a street-car who should pay the carfare? A. Too much fuss is made about this trivial matter.

The courteous way is to say, “May I pass, please?” Q. To whom should complaints be made by a person who is staying in a hotel. A. They should be made directly to the management or the desk clerk.
