(uP) -- Breaking two treaties
Germany moves her troops TO the

sublime impudencc offers France

Mussolini offers to stand by
France and England. And that
means no oil sanctions against
Italy because a greater peril than
the invasion of Ethiopia threat

And Poland is on the spot. al

many or be able to call again on
the French militar ytalent which

News dispatches say that Pol
and will follow France but it is
doubtful if Il final decision has
been made. ..
Although ii is probable that
Poland will follow France and
back her for the moment at least,
knowing that Germany waits only
a favorable hour to recover the
Polish corridor, Poland, Il nation
which can put 100000 men in
the field, is no negligible quantity
in this crisis.
What are the motives of Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler?
Perhaps the German economic
situation is worse than we bcliev-
ed and the universal remedy Of u
dictator in distress is foreign
war.
Possibly the rcarming Of Great
Britain impelled Hitler to strike
before the new British army
could be prepared for war. But
whatever the cause, Europe

No. Not now. ...
Great Britain is the deciding
factor and no British government

Do not forget that many in

home in time for dinner, but as ne
wasn't hungry he didn't eat much.

DONALD went to the store ana
- bought some food and brought
it out to the shack with him the
next day. The man didn't say any,
thing, he just took it from Donald
and shook his head. The woman
came over and kissed him. Luckily
the little girl hadn't seen.
For a week or a little longer that
kept up. Every day Donald would
bring out the food and then play
with the little girl, taking her to all
the remarkable places he had dis
covered in his walks through the
preserves.
The thought came to Donald his
father was very strange. But perhaps
he could 60 up to him. He could
tell him about these people. Then
maybe his father would let them move
into one of the many guest rooms in
the house.
ONE evening at the dinner table
Donald thought Of this. but he
did not speak. The words were kept
back. His father seemed even more
strange to him when Donald thought
of telling him about the people who
were living in his shack.
His father and his mother were
talking about stocks. His mother was
angry again, but his father hadn't
told about one kind that had gone
up two points. Suddenly, and Incl
deutally, his father said: Say,
happened to walk through the grounds
this evening. Some fellow had a
shack built in there and was making
himself comfortable, family and all.
I gave them 10 minutes to clear out
and had the highway officer tear down
the shack. Imagine such thing!"
You don't say!" exclaimed DON
aids mother.
Il had good notion to have the
bunch of them run in. If they were
locked up for a while they'd learn
to respect other peoples property"
said the man as he touched at his
lips with his napkin.
Donald got up from his seat. For
moment he looked at his father.
then he turned and hurried out and
through the woods to the place where
the shack had stood. 1t was all torn
down. The man, the woman and the
little girl were gone.
Donald started to walk away. For
long while he walked. He wasn't
going to 60 back to his fathers house
any more. He was going to keep on
walking and walking
But when it got darker and colder
Donald turned and went back There
wasn't any use. His fathers house
was the only place he had to 60 to.

he compromised by deciding he would
spend as much time in it as possible.
1t was getting late, and so Donald
started out of the private preserves
owned by his father. With long strides
he went through the winding paths
until at length he came to the iron
gate. Then he crossed the wide high
way avenue and went on through the
carefully kept grounds where the
great house of his father stood.
Donald was just in time for dinner.
and he quickly washed up and
changed his clothes and came down.
His father was already at the table,
reading the evening paper.
Good evening, son" he said as DON
aid sat down.
Good evening"" Donald answered.
TOR many days at a time father
= and son never said much more
than this to one another. To Donald
his father was very strange person.
He had a high forehead and a thin
nose. He was always brisk, and he
walked almost on his toes.
Then Donald's mother came into the
room. She, too, was a strange person.
She and his father did not talk very
much at the dinner table, but they
were very polite to one another. Some
times his mother would ask his father
about stocks, and sometimes they
went up some points, and sometimes
they went down. often when they
went up his mother would be angry
because his father hadn't told her
about it in time for her to have bought
some.
Donald went out into the woods
early the next day to finish his house.
When he got there he found a man
and a woman and little girl about
his age.
What are you doing here in my
house," Donald asked.
go on, get away from here, kid.
And don't tell anybody you saw us,
either, If you know what's good for
you" said the man.
No. I won't go away from here"
Donald returned. That's my house.

belongs to my father"
"Oh!" said the man.
1--WE just want to stay here a short
while, little boy" said the woman.
Her voice trembled a little, and her
eyes looked frightened, and Donald
was sorry for her.
well, I don't care, you can stay
here" Donald said.
THEN the man began to fix the
house, and the woman was cook
ing something in big pot over a
fire built on the ground.

SIAMESE TWINS

Last month when one of the Godino
twins, who were % years old and joined
together since birth by muscle and flesh
at the base of the spine, died in New
York of pneumonia, the living one was
separated from his dead brother by a
surgical operation and seemed destined to

But it was another case of ''the opera

Even while various periodicals were
spreading the news of the surgical feat,
the only one on record in which such an
operation was successfully performed on
adults, the remaining brother passed
away most Unexpectedly.
The dead twins leave two widows
sisters, whom they married in 1929 in
Manila, all four being natives of the Philip

vaudeville performers, and it is said that
they could have been separated without
serious results at any time when both
were in good health. But they preferred
to remain joined together for the sake of
better earnings on the stage.
There are two known living persons,
however, both now years old, who were
born joined to twin sisters. They are

THE WAR IN SPAIN

SPANS CHASTITY civil war, which be-
gan last July, continues with little pros
pect of an early victory for either side. A
few weeks ago it appeared that the fall of
Madrid and triumph for the insurgents
was imminent, but the Red governments
forces have held the capital and have even
gained ground on portions of the fighting
'front.' - - = - ~, ~, 80. -. ,t :. j,
Both sides are now reported to have
large bodies of foreign troops and the
struggle is taking on more of an inter-
national character. 1t is estimated that
nearly $4,000 foreign volunteers, includ-
ing Russians, Frenchmen and anti-Fascist
Germans and Italians, are now aiding in
the defense of Madrid, while some $4,000
German and Italian Facists are serving
with the insurgents under General Franco.
Air raids over Madrid are of almost
daily occurrence, and in several instances
the insurgent bombers have been shot
down by government airmen. A large
portion of the civilian population has fled
from Madrid, but many were killed or
wounded in earlier attacks on the city.
1t is estimated that total of 100000
persons have been killed since the war be-
gan, most of them civilians, including
many women and children. Scores of
beautiful and historic buildings have been
laid in ruins, and the devastation continues
from day to day.

THREE YEARS AFTER REPEAL

Just a little more than three years
ago, in December, 1888, Utah cast the vote
that put an end to national prohibition.
Since that day the liquor traffic has
been largely taken over by legitimate in
dustry, which has replaced, to a great ex-
tent, the 'illegitimate business of the boot
logger, rumrunner and racketeering gangs
Government revenues q have, profited
through the imposition Of taxes 5af 10 =,
While citizens of the nation were
greatly divided on the retention of pro.
hibition, the majority would undoubtedly
agree today that conditions have been inn
proved. However, there is no reason for
complimentary. Liquor is dangerous com.
modify and unless the sponsors of repeal
make it their business to prevent the re.
currence of former conditions there will be
another movement for prohibition that will
succeed again in amending the Constitu,
ton of the United States.

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY


Reports received today by The
Citizen show that the boat which
landed % aliens on Key Largo a
few days ago, was captured later
at Miami with five men on board.
The captured men were turned
over to the immigration authori-
ties. The vessel is a launch 3S
feet long with a powerful motor
and capable of great speed. As an
automobile also figures in the cap
ture of the men it is believed that
some of the men taken on board
the vessel are land agents of a
smuggling ring. But one alien in
the lot of % which were landed
at Key Largo several days ago
made his get away, and was later
on brought to Key West in Gus

making it unnecessary for Inspec-
tor Goldberg to go after him as
was first intended.
