THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE — Frank J. Dunaing, 101) Amerfean Bank Bullding. \ There was just one subject of conversation on the streets of Juneau yesterday, as on the streets of every other city in the nation reached by newspaper or radio, which could be counted on in every quar- ter to raise a lively discussion. That subject was, of course, the Thursday night | address of President Roosevelt, in which he warned Germany and Italy that they will enter waters de- fended by America “at their own peril.” And just as in every other town, there were Democrats and Republicans, interventionists and iso- lationists in downtown Juneau, all willing and anxi- ous to air their personal reaction to the public declarations of FDR. | In most of those street corner symposiums, there | was one fact that was hardly disputed by either side. President Roosevelt said: “It is no act of war to defend our shores and sea lanes.” But the President’s proposal to pelice the seas | into which our vessels sail can mean nothing short | of a shooting war for our Navy, if the Axis is sin- cere in their war effort and mean to stop convoys | of supplies to Iceland, Britain or any other point. If Herr Hitler is going to continue his war, he | can hardly be expected to blast Britain from the | Continent side of the isles and allow our ships to | replenish the British people with necessary war sup- plies and food from our side of their islands. So now, Adolf, your hand has been called. And | if you've been sitting in the game with only a small pair of deuces in the Atlantic we should find out about it mighty soon. GOOD SOLDIERING, FELLOWS! Thursday night the Chamber of Commerce gave | a banquet in appreciation of the personal sacrifice and patriotic loyalty of a group of young Juneau‘ men. Next Wednesday night the Rotary Club is sponsor- ing a military ball for the same group of men. But the big day for these khaki-clad boys will | be next Monday, their first day as actual soldiers of Uncle Sam. |“Don’t think ants or captains. All of them have proven a credit to the territory, and when, a minute after midnight tomorrow, the control of the guard units swings from the Territory of Alaska to the United States Army, the event will constitute the passing of a | milestone in Alaskan history of which every sour- | dough may be proud. Not all the men who originally joined the Alaska guards will be going to training centers at Chilkoot Barracks or Fort Richardson. Some, because of de- pendents who look to them for a livelihood, or be- cause they have passed the age limit required for induction into the defense forces of the nation, will remain at home. But every man, whether he is going into active duty or will be discharged from the service, deserves a vote of appreclation from | Alaskans on the standpoint of the personal sacri- | | fices he has made in the valuable training period o{! the guardsmen which is coming to a close. When the next issue of The Empire rolls off the press, these skookum young Alaska fellows will be taking their orders from the War Department. We take this opportunity to say “so lofig” to the Alaska National Guard and a lusty “Hi, Soldier!” to the new Alaska units of the National Guard of the United States. Our New Language (The Seattle Times) Nothing reveals the demand for variety in the American make-up more thoroughly than the diver- sity in forms of greeting with which this people doubt will completely befuddle future historians of language. To mention only a few of the common forms of salutation, we have “Hello,” “How do you do?".‘, seems inadequate unless you can remember the other fellow's name. Too often you have to introduce some such circumlocation as “Hello, there,” when to save your life, you cannot identify the other per- son. And the “there” has a further implication, as much as to say, “When did you get out?”, suggest- ing surprise that the fellow is still, or again, at large, “How do you do?”, of course, is polite and re- spectful, but it has dangers. Before you know it, the other fellow may be really telling you, and at great length, how he is, and the recital will reveal that he is not well at all, a depressing disclosure. No question in any language ever revealed a more universal lack of information than “Whatdaya know?”. No one, it seems, knows anything. But this, of course, is not astonishing. When a mere acquaintance asks you what you know in a crowded elevator, for instance, are you going to impart the latest choice bit in front of a lot of strangers? Not you. You become the sphinx. Leave-takings in this country formerly were ac- companied by such tender assurances as “Well, so long,” which never meant much of anything. More recently, we have progressed from “Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do,” “I'll be seein’ ya,” and such admonitions as “Be careful,” to “Well, take it easy.” The response to that is “Don’t think I won't.” And for the benefit of the future scholars, we cannot terminate this discussion without mentjoning, it ain't been charming, because it ain’t.” That, we trust, will be something for an ad- vanced post-graduate to write a whole doctoral dis- sertation about, a century hence. A friend of ours says he would like to be a waiter, but his thumb scalds too easily. Elliott Roosevelt is having a dandy time in Lon- don, being kissed by all the girls and missed by West- brook Pegler. Dr. Goebbels may find some satisfaction in the Thirteen months ago the National Guard of Alaska started organizing here, in Anchorage, Fair- banks and Ketchikan.

FLANDERS HALL One of the most interesting things about Congressman Day’s activity is | the firm which published his book. 1t is called “Flanders Hall: Publish- ers, Scotch Plains, N. J.” Investi- gation proves that this is none other than the residence of Prof- essor Adolf Hauck, instructor of German at Plainfield High School, | the house being located at the cor- ner of Flanders and Front Streets in Scotch Plains. No publishing or printing establishment is connected with the house. | Investigation zlso shows that the Representatives Dewey Short, R., or'jmspired by the same source which Missouri; Thomas D. Winter, R., of inspired the Illinois Congressman's Kansas; Louis Ludlow, D. of In-|other attempt to confuse the public diana; Melvin Mass, R., of Minnes- ota and Oscar Youngdahl, R. of Minnesota. Their testimonials are played up as reasons for inducing the public to buy the book, together with the appeal “Order These Pro-American Books.” But +there is nothing on| the Flanders Hall circular to say | that these “Pro-American Books” are promoted by Nazi agents. PROMOTION BACKING Even more interesting perhaps is the fact that just after Congress- man Day published his book under Nazi aegis, the Deutscher Weckruf Und Beobachter, official organ of the German-American Bund, pro- ceeded to heap praise on it. “A practical handbook of information cbout the Anglo-maniacs,” was the way the Bund described it, “and how the cards are stacked by the Administration so the people can- not learn the truth.” At about the same time Day's children of Professor Haucks are:book was played up by William D. registered at the State Department Pelley’s “Roll Call” which the Dies as the officers of the Flanders Hall | Committee has branded as a fascist Publishing Company and that they |organization.

Under this configura~ tion there may be veering of pub- lic opinion regarding national poli- cies. HEART AND HOME: Women to- day are under the most favorable direction of the stars which is supposed to bring out their finest traits, stirring their hearts to broad sympathies and to definite personal sacrifices. Girls may be inspired by lofty romance which stimulates patriotic work. It is an auspicious date for meeting young men and for establishing' friend- ships. Aged women are forfunate, for they will- inspire the family to pay attention to church needs and church leadership.

Generous . giving for relief of war victims in. Ems rope and Asia will set a new rec- ord in recognition of the universal brotherhood of man. Ching will benefit in a way that promises much for the future when it will offer immense markets for the Am- ericas, NATIONAL ISSUES: Erasure of political prejudices will be more and more evident as the movement toward complete national unity con- tinues to gain impetus. Crystaliza- tion of sentiment will be beneficial to defense efforts, although through the month labor troubles may de- velop. The stars presage good luck today for women who enter indus- try. They will excel in airplane tasks, it is foretold. This is a promising time for women work- ers of all classes. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: France is to gain freedom with the victory of the democracies and will benefit greatly through the influ- ence of Generals de Gaulle and Weygand. Predictions of the death of Hitler will be recalled as the autumn advances, but astrologers foresee his survival in certain cir- cumstances and they predict his insanity before he succumbs to a chronic disease from which he has long been suffering. Before snow- fall in the eastern states the seers prophesy that there will be defin- ite indications of Axis ultimate de- feat. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of gain that is encouraging for the future. It is well to be on guard against deception and imposition.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Tolerance will be required of all who would prove their high ideals of Ameri- can citizenship. Many forms of pre- judice will be conspicuous as in- coming tides of the World War arouse fear and resentment. The seers stress the fact that opportun- ity to demonstrate the real mean- ing of democracy should be accept- ed philosophicaily. Lessons learned in the first World War should ke applied now, as history repeats it- self in communities large and small. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Because of the only Cancer -na- tions in the world are located in the Americas the seers find spec- ial reason to predict splendid co- operation in the future.
