ject was made part of the CWA
work in Key West, it was decided
to ask DR.. Van Deusen to arrange
to be in Key West to supervise
the construction of the building.
At the suggestion of the doctor,
Mayor VIM. III. Malone wrote Ma
yor j. Hampton Moore, of PhiIa-
delphia, setting forth the hopes of
Key West and formally requested
Mayor Moore to permit DIR. Van
Deusen to return and remain until
the aquarium was completed.
This was granted and the doctor
came with the intention of remain
ing the stipulated period but is
forced to leave because, due to
delays in receiving materials. the
aquarium is far from being COM
pleted.

that if those interested decide
they will like to have him back to
assist in the final equipping Of the
aquarium, he believes it can be
arranged and he will gladly come
and donate his services.
Discussing his stay in Key
West, DIR. Van Deusen told The
Citizen that during the six weeks
he has been here he has added
hundreds to his already large cir
Gle of friends, and his love for
Key West, and its hospitable peo-
pie has been greatly intensified.
To go to each of his friends
and tell them of his departure
would be practically impossible,
he said, but knowing the wide cir
cuIation of The Citizen and its
many readers, asks that his regret
at leaving and his hope for a
speedy return be noted in this
column.

the doctor. II have never been so
surrounded by delightful friends
and had so many courtesies shown
as I have had in Key West, and
wish it were possible for me to
remain.
However, when the time comes
for me to retire from a really ac-
tive life and seek place where
can relax and enjoy life to the

sen, return to Key West, secure a

Whether storms and rough wat

move-perhaps an attempt at an
other accord-is possible were ques-
tons engaging the attention Of
more than one chancellory.

States and Great Britain, Japan in
tends to give notice which will
mark the end on December 81, 1886,
Of the naval limitations agreement
she signed here with the other
powers in 1922 amid wide acclaim.
The fact that after the formal
denunciation, the treaty still will
have two years TO run gives hope
to some that another accord may be
undertaken before 1t expires.
If not, there will be no instru-
