new MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE LAUNCHED
BY LEGION POST
ALL EFFORTS ARE BEING PUT
FORWARD TO ADD NAMES
TO ROSTER BETWEEN NOW
AND CLOSE OF YEAR


An active membership cam
paign is now being conducted by
Arthur Sawyer Post, Number %,
American Legion, and efforts are
being made to have every veteran
in Key West registered on the
membership roll before the close
of the year 1888.
To make the membership APP
peal attractive to those veterans
who have either never been mem
bers or who have withdrawn from
the post, an appreciate reduction
has been made in initiation pay
mentS.
This matter was brought out at
the special meeting of the post
held this week, and the report
made by the membership commit
tee showed that some success is
meeting the efforts of those whose
interest in the matter of increas-
ing the membership of the post
has been unceasing.
Other matters of interest
brought out at the meeting per-
tanned to items contained in the
four points of the legion's pro-
posals to be taken up at the session
of United States congress in Janu-
airy.
The principal questions at is
sue in the four points include
adequate protection of widows
and orphans of world war veter-
ans. Transfer to federal courts
of all cases of insurance denials
decided on by those to whom these
matters are now submitted. Hos
pitalization of all veterans who
are unable to pay for the same.
And movement opposing the
Capitalization of legion activities.
These questions were ably ex-
pounded at the meeting. by those
delegated to explain them, and the
consensus of opinion is that hard
fight will be put up in congress to
put the four point program
through in is entirety.

tional situation, Pope Plus told
the College of Cardinals and
Roman prelates in an annual
Christmas address today.
Money, money, money" he
seid, sis needed to wage war"
Severely critieizing the sterili-
cation program in Germany, the
Pope said Inconsistency of such
practices in the light Of religious
teachings was clearly set forth in
the Papal decree in 1881, and in
eneyclical "castii connubii."
Declaring the international sis-
uation 10 bound up with uneer-
taintiss and distrust by elashing
interests of fruitless negotiations, :"
the Pope said the best comment he
could offer Is nobody knows"
what the outcome will be.
Those who had expected long
analytical pontifical address on
this occasion were to be disap-
pointed. he added. saying the Sit
uation did pot warrant more than
an intimate talk with churehmen.

Marinus Van Der Lubbe
Did Not Shrink From
Bearing Burden During
Proceedings
oBy Associated Pre.0

LEIPZIG, December "a
Death stalked through the
supreme court in the early
morning of this murky day
before Christmas. and sing
led out a young Dutchman,
Marinus Van Der Luhbe, for
expiration of the crime of
the burning the German
Reichstag building.
The court rolling down
the curtain after three
months of trial sessions,
passed the penalty of death
upon van Der Liable, and
acquitted his four codefend-
ants. Ernest Torgler, former
Communist within in the
Reichstag, and three Bulgar-
ian refugees. Georgi Dimi-
troff, BIagoi Popoff and
Wassil Teneff.
Van Der Lubbe didn't APP
pear to take any notice Of
the verdict. Apathetic at
the end as at the beginning
of the trial. the grotesque
figure was in hunched over
position; he seemed already
dead.
The others defended their
lives heroically before the
meticulous court. but the
young Hollander gave his up
gravely.
He did not shrink from
bearing the burden of crime
that was hailed by govern
ment leaders as having made
Germany safe for Naziism.
and he never betrayed his
accomplices. If any.

TSetse Fly Doubted as
Sleeping III Carrier

United States Public Health
Service officials here doubt that
the tsetse fly is the purveyor OF
the disease which has caused 39
deaths in st. Louis, Mo.
DR.. r. C. Williams, assistant
surgeon general in charge of
sanitary reports and the statistics
division, on receipt of word to-
day that st. Louis authorities
are investigating reports of a
tsetse fly there, said that there
is considerable doubt as to
whether the discovery of the
insect in st. Louis will lead to
any great finding.
The tsetse fly, he said, IS the
carrier of sleeping sickness, a
disease prevalent in Africa but
no way connected with the cpl
demic in st. Louis.
Although the st. Louis malady
is commonly called sleeping
sickness" that name is a mis-
nomer, DR.. williams said. The
correst name is encephalitis, which
is entirely different from the
African disease.
