Frederic William Vile. whence nearly
all the wars of the past 40 years have
terminated.
Albania's immediate neighbors are
Yugoslavia and Greece. Bulgaria,
Rumania and Turkey, too, have
suddenly come within relatively easy
reach of II Duce's forces by land,
sea or air. Under ordinary circum-
stances Italy's unprovoked occupa-
ton of Albania would be a match
to set the Balkan powder barrel
anght almost automatically. But
unless the smaller Southeastern Eu-
ropean powers which now find them
selves within the range of axis ag-
gression are assured of the armed
support Of Great Britain, France
and Russia, there's nothing on the
face of things to stop Mussollnl,
backed by Hitler, from stringing his
banners by progressive stages all
the way across the Near East from
the Adriatic to the Black Sea. When
Belgrade, Athens, Sofia, Bucharest
and Ankara read how a whole regi-
ment of Italian grenadiers was land
ed from airplanes to take Tirana,
they had vision of what may soon
be in store for them.
At first blush, but subject to sud-
den revision of that judgment, be-
cause the unexpected is the rule in
Europe today, it looks as If the die
tators once again have stolen an
irretrievable march on the democ-
racies For the dozenth time, more
or less, II Duce and the Fuehrer
have moved and acted while Cham
berlain, Daladier g. Co., parleyed.
pondered and viewed with alarm. 1t
was a supremely audacious but
thoroughly characteristic stroke by
the Berlin Rome allies that Italy
pounced on Albania at the precise
moment Chamberlain and Beck
were signing the Anglo-Polish anti
aggression alliance. Until the anti
aggressors actually throw troops,
warships and air forces across the
path of Hitler and Mussolini-show,
in other words, that they mean busi-
ness-there's now every indication
that Albania is the beginning. not
the end of their latest series of in
ternational depredations. Poland
seems cast as the next victim. The
totalitarian peoples have been told
by their masters for more than a
year that democracies fume, but do
not fight. To date, that has proved
to be bitterly true.

OBSERVATIONS FROM
THE BLEAcHERS

Team Captain William Butch
Gates, and second basernan of the
Key West conchs as well as
Manager Roy Hamlin and the
team as a whole and the ma
jority of local baseball fans
would like to have the answer to
one question. The question: Why
does Puby Specs Carbonell
fatty refuse to be a member of
the Key West team that is going
to represent this city in a series
of bali games at Tampa on July
20?
We are sure, at least this
writer is, that the easy going,
popular pitcher member of the
Pirates ball club, has no personal
i'll feeling towards the manage
ment of the Key West Conch ag-
gregation or any of its members
yet our leading hur1er will not
listen to the appeal of Mario
Pena and so many. hundreds of
fans who have expressed their
sincere desire to have the spec
tacle moundsman help the Key
West boys bring home the honor
of victory over the Ybor city lads
in their own home town.
''Specs" you're a good pitcher,
possibly the best curving mounds
man we have in Key West today.
You know it and every baseball
enthusiast in the city is aware of
that fact. We know, too, that
your name added to the pitching
list with that of Joe Casa and
Robert Bethel can mean but one
thing-another victory added to
the long string we now boast
with great pride.
"Julee" Barcelo, big right
handed outfielder who gave Ar
mando Acevedo a close run for
batting honors during the Key
West hs-Pirates post cham
pionship series last winter, has
signed up with the Conchs and
will be seen in Key West uniform
next Sunday afternoon when
Hamlin's fence busters clash
against Bud Caring and his
Trojans.
Boy, oh boy, what a batting
crew. Acevedo. Gates, Barcelo,
Albury, Griffin, Pena and Viii
lareal all following in order.
Enough to throw a scare to any
pitcher. They are the boys that
will face Morgado, Capitano and
Britt in Tampa July 20 and %.
