An Odious Comparison (Cincinnati Enquilrer) A considerable amount of misinformation, to say nothing of bad taste, was displayed the other day |in speeches before the Hamilton County Women'’s Christian Temperance Union on the subject of liquor and our fighting men. According to published accounts, at least two speakers stressed the thought that the United States and England should “follow the example of German; and Japan” in prohibiting the use of alcoholic bev- erages in training and at the front This is a Wholly unwarranted misrepresentation of facts—one amazing to any person at all familiar BUIL l)l\(.

The morning is unfavor- able for persons in authority. The may be severely criticized and gen- arally misunderstood. HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed today and will | find their best enjoyment in ex- tending home pleasures to guests in uniform as well as to men of their own families who are in Gov- ernment service. It is an auspicious date for girls to meet eligible youths and fortunate for engage- | ments or weddings. Marriages w111w be numerous and most of them | happy. The stars appear to pro- | mise a falling off in the number | »f divorces. However, many cases | of domestic mismating will be! solved by means of enlistments in | Army, Navy and air forces. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As Ameri- cans subscribe to the four free- doms, the stars presage a new or- der that affects capitalism, which may change many of its methods when conforming to the ideals of | | freedom from fear and freedom from want. The stars are read as| presaging future competition in business, but justice will prevail. | Equality of opportunity must be provided for men and women who will be caréfully trained and broad- ly educated, astrologers declare. Un- less economics prevent poverty the future will bring more wars, it is foretold. NATIONAL ISSUES: The need of a unified national philosophy which inspires men and women of all classes is indicated. This means that selfish interests must be ab- solutely subordinated by workers as well as politicians. The seers point out that the campaigns' pre- ceding the fall elections have re- vealed many of our weaknesses and have caused confusion affect- | ing the morale of soldiers and ci- vilians. The stars presage events | that will bring a rude awakening to indifferent or lukewarm persons. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| This month will prove one of the most crucial periods in the war, a=trclogers forecast, as they prog- | nosticate losses in blood and treas- | ure. The trend toward a United | Nations victory which may be long | delayed will be more plain with | each day’'s battles. Axis forces will | compel subjugated nations to glve aid in all possible ways and thus| the impetus toward uprisings, sabo- | tage and rebellion will be increased. Splendid cooperation among the fighters who are defenders of de- mocracy and freedom will be dem- onstrated. The men ‘who face death | together are to become lasting | friends; nationalism will fade in | the great struggle. Persons whose birthdate it is| have the augury of a year of strain and stress which will bring bene- fits. Great care should be exer- cised in military or naval service. Children born on this day prob- ably will be gifted in the arts and charming in personality, but they may be improvident or not inter- ested in earning money.
