neutrality law is cancellation of
trips. u. S. Lines have cancelled
several trips.
Germany will make a formal
protest to the American govern
ment through the German am
bassador in Washington, it is

America is merely reverting to
the rights of international law.

send 100000 more men to the

Secretary of State Cordell Hull
emphasized that the move is def

NAILS PROTEST
FLINT'S SEIZURE
BY NORWECIANS
NORWAY GIVES VESSEL BACK
TO AMERICAN CREW: AN
OTHER FRENCH FREIGHT
Err SUNK

LONDON, Nov. 4.-Nazis gov
eminent today formally protested
the Norwegian seizure Of the
American City of Flint, but Rus
STA adopted a hands off policy
with the attitude that all was out
of her hands.
American newspapermen went
aboard the vessel and brought out
a number of interesting points
before Norwegian naval officers
stopped all questioning. The ves-
sci had been captured by Ger
man prize crew, brought to the
Russian port of Murmansk, where
Russia had allowed the German
crew to sail the ship out toward
Germany.
She was captured in Norwegian
waters last night by Norway
and the American crew given
repossession of its vessel.
The captain denied reports
that one of his crew members
was i'll as the Germans stated.
Another member of the crew
spoke of strang doings on the
trip over before it was captured
by the raider, which led him to
the belief that the vessel might
be sunk before it reached it's
destination.
German bitterly denounced
Norway in the matter and said
that she went out of her way to
affect the capture.
A French freighter was sunk in
the Atlantic today by German
submarine.
From Shanghai come reports
that the British pocket battleship
Admiral Scheer is off a Chinese
port and operating in Pacific wa
tiers. Several German vessels.
which had been informed in Chi
nese waters, are preparing to
leave, presumably under protec-
ton of the German vessel.
Bodies of four German seamen
believed to be off German sub
marine, which foundered off the
English coast, were washed
ashore on the Kentish coast to-
day. Each of them carried escape
masks commonly used on subma-
rines.
A japanese ship was today be-
lieved to be carrying a German
ambassador to Toxic for confer
ences with Japanese officials.
The Japanese ship register did
not show his name but it is un-
derstood he is a descendant of
the Bismarks.

GIVES In
ON SOME DEMANDS
RUSSIA STILL PUSHES DE-
MAND FOR BALTIC BASES:
WANTS FULL ACCEPTANCE
4By AnsOeIntsA l'ressI

HELSINGFORS, Nov. 4.-Fin-
nish officials today said that Fin
land has accepted two-thirds of
the Russian demands on its coun-
try but that it was not willing to
accept the other demans.
Russia is believed to be exert
ing pressure on Finland to allow
it to establish a naval base or
concentrate troops in the islands
or country of Finland. Russia
took advantage of Germany's pre-
occupation to take control of the
Baltic long held by Germany.
She has recently established
bases on lands owned by Latvia,
Lithuania and Estonia.

THREE KEY WEST PRINcI-
PALS ATTENDED CONFER
ENCE IN MIAMI: SUPT. RUS
SELL ALSO PRESENT

The Monroe delegation of sup
enintendent and principals which
attended the conference at Cen
trail School of Miami called by
Colin English, state superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, re-
turned Thursday and report
very active meeting.
From Key West Superintendent
Melvin E. Russell, Principal
Horace O'Bryant of Key West
High School, Principal Earl
Hamilton of Division Street
School, and Principal w. c. Dun
can of Harris School were in at
tendance.
One of the principal topics
agreed on was that a system of
regular visits of nurses to the
school would simplify health
education. Many personal in
stances of a pair of glasses for
better nutrition or removal of
tonsils were brought out to prove
how much more efficaciouS pro-
per health surveillance is in
school work.
The meeting was agreed that
modern system of Florida High
School education was vastly i'm
proved over the OLD, and the
statement was made that TIE bal
lot could better be intrus'ed to
the average high school graduate
than to the average adult.
Attention was called to the
bulletins of the State Education
Department which were sent out
regularly.
The Monroe delegation was
particularly struck with the fact
that the problems which many
thought were individual to Key
West are also peculiar to other
sections of the state.
Conducting the Key West
group on a tour of Central School
was Principal Joe Wheeler, a
former Key WeSter.
Conference was in charge of
M. L. Stone of the State Depart
ment who was assisted by DR..
Edwards, G.. Hall and DR.. Eddy.
Purpose was to improve instruc-
ton in state public schools with
the use of no more materials
than were on hand.
This phase of the Florida pro-
gram is attracting national at
tention with DR.. Alves Burman
of Washington Education De-
partment keeping his eye on de-
velopments with the idea of other
states, starting similar sys-
tenn. rAk

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION DE-
PARTMENT HOPES TO
ELIMINATE HOMEWORK IN
FIRST SIX GRADES

That the Florida Department
of Public Instruction is taking
cognizance of the homework
problem in grade schools of the
state is noted in a letter to a
resident of Key West, which
states that recommendation will
soon be made that there be no
homework in the first six grades
of Florida public schools.
In the communication, Colin
English, state superintendent of
public instruction, reveals that
Florida health units, working in
conjunction with each other.
have prepared bulletin in
which adjustment of homework
in the grade schools, budgeting
and limiting work time in the
upper grades have been recon-
mended. The bulletin will soon
be released through MIR. English's
office.
Full contents of the state SUI
rerintendent's letter follow:
THE health and physical edu-
cation teachers of the state,
working with the State Health
Department, have prepared a
health bulletin for use in the pub
lie schools of Florida, which will
be released from this office at an
early date.
Zone of the recommendation
in this bulletin is that children
in the first six grades will not
be required to do homework and
that homework for pupils in the
upper grades be budgeted and the
time required for the work be
limited.
Recently The Citizen received
several scattered complaints by
mothers of pupils in the grade
schools of Key West, concerning
the amount of homework assign
ed their children.
