from three weeks of deep sea
fishing, Captain Frank Olsen and
crew of the auxiliary schooner,
Ludwig NJ. of Tampa, arrived in
port Saturday morning and were
at the berth at the Porter Dock
Co., awaiting word from the
owner.
Captain Olsen said they had
been having very unsatisfactory
weather and had up to the time
of arriving in port taken approx
mately 1000 pounds of red snap
per, which is the class of fish
they are catching. Following re-
stocking of the larder they
planned another weeks fishing
and then leave for Tampa, Cap
tain Olsen said. gs
Most of the fishing, Captain
Olsen said, is done in 30 TO 40
fathoms and requires a sturdy
crew to keep up the work when
the fish are biting. Such a crew
makes up the members of the
Ludwig NJ. who are Charles
Williams. Virgil Williams, How.

Tension Increases On Western
Front; NazS Stop Propaganda
BUREAU SAYS HIGH
WINDS TO CONTINUE

Key West will continue TO
have fairly strong winds un-
til a high pressure area now
crested over the Middle Mis-
sissippi Valley dissipates.
'Meteorologist C. S. Kennedy
told The Citizen today. Good
weather may be here by
Thursday.
The high pressure area
will probably move south
eastward over the southern
Atlantic States and will then
cause winds in Key West.
No other high pressure
area is in sight behind the
present high pressure area.
Mr.. Kennedy said. and if this
condition continues boatmen
will be experiencing normal
weather in a few days.
Commercial fleet and pri-
vate Yachtsmen have been
experiencing a great deal of
difficulty in boating because
of the high winds of recent
weeks.

PROPAGANDA AND CON-
CERTs STOP; HITLER RE-
PORTED IN CONFERENCE;
AIR RAIDS DRIVEN OFF

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Abrupt
change of attitude of the German
troops in the field near the
French army has taken place,
war correspondents report.
Where before there were
broadcasts of propaganda and
concerts now there is ominous
silence.
Typical of this attitude was
that in which Austrian and
French regiments were entrench-
ed opposite each other. The
troops have been very friendly,
but recently an Austrian soldier
stepped above his trench and
told the French to be careful as
the German troops would soon
occupy the Austrian's position.
Adolf Hitler, leader of Ger
many, is reported in conference
with the highest of his war units
today, although the conference is
described by officialdom as
"on1y routine.
A high British legation, in
Guiding Anthony Eden, visited
the Maginot Line today and were
impressed with the French de-
lenses. They could look across
to the German Siegfried Line
from several points and there
could see pillboxes $50 yards
apart. They could see other
rows of pillboxes behind the
front line sES-still others be-
hind. They said that the forts
were more numerous than the
French line of Notifications but
that the French structures were
more powerful.
Air raids started above Paris
today but anti-aircraft guns
drove them off. Following the
raids the guns were rapidly fired
for a period of time although
there was no alarm. The British
legation visiting the French fort
were tumbled out of bed follow
ing the alarm.
Increased air activity over the
western front was noted today
with planes of both sides doing
reconnaissance and patrol work.

Sheriff K. o. Thompson, received
injuries when struck last night
by a car driven by James d.
Robins. 1t is said that Mr.. Sym
onette stepped in front of the car
just as it drove up.
Mr.. Robins m m diately
stopped the machine, got out and
assisted Mr.. 'Symonette in the
vehicle and took him to the Ma
rine hospital for treatment.
AT the institution it was said
that the injured man, who is IA
years old, had suffered a cut in
the scalp and bruised shoulder,
and he remained in the hospital
until this morning when he was
taken to his home at 1929 Flem-
ing street.
Motorcycles Hurt Painfully
c. E. Steinhauer, motorcycle
rider from Miami, figured in an
accident yesterday morning when
his motorcycle collided with an
automobile driven by Mario
Pena at the corner of Thomas and
Southland streets.
In the attempt to avoid the ac-
cident, Mr.. Pena drove the car
up on the sidewalk and cut down
"a young tree at the corner. Mr..
Steinhauer received minor but
painful injuries about the legs
and was taken to the Marine
hospital where the injuries were
Il Gated.
This afternoon The Citizen in
quired of the hospital and was
informed that Mr.. Steinhauer
was still in the institution re-
ceiving treatment for his injuries.

revenue would result in a slight
deficit. However, the club cleo
trio plant, the decorations and
other facilities, now paid for, are
still in the clubs name and may
be utilized for later dances and
floor shows.
Besides the good music. the
crowd attending the affair par
ticularly enjoyed the drumming
of Flea Madden, champion trap
drummer, who was induced to
put on a special act, the ballroom
dancing by the noted team of
Garland and Maria, and the
comedy cartoons by Red Thorn
ton. Madden performed with
the drum sticks on some of the
guests while Thorntca amused
by making cartoons from marks
made by the guests on his draw
ing paper.
The Legionnaires today were
talking over a suggestion that
they give repeat performance
at the country club within the
next few weeks.
