Agreement on the need for opening a "second front" In Kurope this year has been reached by President Roosevelt and Ruaalan Foreign Affairs Commissar Molotov, and so we inay soon have American forces pushing forward in that direction also. Aid For Fighters The action of congreaa In providing for additional pay and dependency allowances for members of the armed forces of the I'nlted States will help to some degree In relieving material hardships caused by the culling of men Into the services. Under the new plan, a private or apprentice seaman will receive 150 a month as compared with the present Hcale of $21 for the first four monthB and $30 thereafter. A flrHt class private or seaman will receive $54 instead of the present $36; a corporal or seaman first class will get $66 Instead of $54; a sergeant or petty officer second class will draw $96 Instead of $72; a first class sergeant or chief petty officer will get $138 rather than the present $126.

Ah the vast production system which has been created over the past two years swinge into action, the difficulty of providing material to feed it will bei come more and more apparent.

From now on it will be a continuous problem to keep jtho military machine running full blast and at the same time produce | enough goods for essential civilian requirements. Long range planning will be necessary to keep the program moving smoothly. [ A Pyramid Total war Involves creation of a tremendous human pyramid. At the upex stands the soldier with gun In hand facing the enemy. Helow him are skilled workmen turning out the | tools of war, and farmers producing the staff of life, and transportation workers and the Workers In mines and forests who produce the raw materials. At the bottom are millions of civilians doing a hundred.and-one everyday tasks that keep the home Area burning. If one unit falls out of place tho whole pyramid is In danger of collapse.

How the New Order Limiting Telephone Installations May Affect Tjau. To turn out more and more weapons for our fighting men, our Government has called upon the telephone industry and the telephone-using public to limit new telephone installations to an extent that will divert annually thousands of tons of vital metals and rubber to war production. If you are a new applicant for service or a business or residential subscriber, the limitations of tbe War Production Board order may affect you, depending upon how much equipment is now available to serve the future requirements ef essential individuals or agencies in your community. Specifically, this is how the order may affect you: NON-SUBSCRIBERS, business or residential, may not be able to obtain telephones in some instances. BUSINESS CUSTOMERS, particularly those with private branch exchanges and other targe service installations who move to new locations or who wish other changes, may not be able to obtain the desired arrangements. RESIDENTIAL SUBSCRIBERS who move may not be able to obtain telephones or may be asked to accept a different clast of service. We shall observe the order to the letter, confident of the public's full cooperation. We look forward to the day when we shall again be able to give you the kind of service you want, when and where you want it?but now, and for the duration, the one big task of winning the war comes first . . . with us, as with you.

Madagascar Today A BRITISH "TOMMY" stands guard at Madagascar's Diego Suarez naval base, while a small Malagasy looks on with approval. Coveted by the Japanese because of its strategic location on United Nations supply lanes through the Indian Ocean, Madagascar was occupied by British troops last month. President Roosevelt has pledged tnat the island will be held in trust for France. This photograph, which was flown to Cairo then cable^ to London and New York, is one of the first pictures of the occupation to reach the U. S. The scene typified the friendly welcome which the natives gave the British. 1? Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Qee McQee, Copyright, 1028.

Let's Spend Our Money Where We Make It. One of the beet defense moves any community can start Is a "Buy-atHome" program. There is something uncanny about buying away ftom home. That is?very few folks can understand why the other fellow can't find what he wants in his home town, especially in his home-town where good stores and good merchandise are always carried at as low prices as obtained at out-of-town stores. (It won't he long before necessity wiH teach us to buy at home.) Some folks poseibly do this because they prefer to trade with strangers, and because they get a kick out of spending their money where their neighbors won't benefit from it. Our, own schools or towns don't benefit, from your cash when you send It off ' to places that don't care anything j about you and your welfare. Half of I the bargains and values (at least) that our folks get "out of town" are imaginary. Individuals are not the only out-of- ) town" traders: retail and wholesale merchants do the same thing, and few of them ever gain a penny or a day's extra credit thereby, and certainly they are never "blessed" with lower i prices than the home-folks offer.' There is much Joy in buying "way off." so I hear: I know nothing about such doings though. I have always been able to get as good stuff as I need and am able to pay for from my home merchants. This "tradlngaway-from-home" spirit takes in hundreds of Items, cuch as printing. sport goods, neckties, clothing and the like. If all of us will consider the fact that the welfare of our home-town and our schools depends on the dimes and dollars we spend at home, and realize that nine times out of ten we can do Just aa well at home, at no travel or mailing cost at all, we will mend our ways in this respect. No gas, no tires, no oil. and no desire to hurt ourselves (from now on) are going to help us see the light and the right of patronizing our neighbors and friend*. Financier Dies On Arizona Desert Kingman, Ariz., June 10.?Benjamin Pierce Cheney, 76-year-old financier and social leader of Boston, perished of thirst on the northwestern Arizona desert after a futile, desperate, 20-mile trek in quest of water. Had he walked an equal distance in the opposite direction from his stalled motor car, E. E. Wilson, ex-ofJlclo coroner said. Cheney would have reached water in time to save his life. He evidently had been dead four days when a cowboy, Lee Eaton, found his body yesterday. An empty canteen nearby told the story of Cheney's last hours. Cheney had business holdings in the west and often explored Arizona's waste-lands. In Boston his wife, Mrs. Ida Lewis Cheney, formerly Julia Arthur of the stage, was prostrated after receiving news of his death. She said Cheney left there several weeks ago to drive to California, and she had not heard from him for two weeks. Unexpected Emergency Test Will Find City Prepared (continued from first page) Rutledge street." stated Mr. Shannon. At the central post of the Defense [Council Mr. Shannon and members of his staff are satisfied that all civilians in the Camden. Hermitage and Wateree areas, and also in the areas throughout the county, will cooperate whole-heartedly in observing every regulation and restriction called for or provided by this emergency. The city traffic lights, which operated during the first black-out, will not be in use tonight. Traffic officers, armed with flashlights, will watch out for traffic at the more important street intersections. However, the labor will be light for the reason that l the only traffic will be that of cars j used by wardens, Red Cross workers, and other groups. Other j traffic will be stopped completely.
