4 LONDON, Oct. 10.-Both sides
are now putting out their chests,
while underneath lies the anxiety
of a long, long war, on the Eu-
ropean front.
Today Adolf Hitler told Ger
mans in radio address that
peace rested with the Allies and
said that the "way ahead for the
German people is not so much
harder than the way behind. He
said Germany should be left
alone in its geographic sphere
and praised the community
spirit of the nation.
Parliament today was told that
the newer English planes are far
superior to the German planes in
speed especially. It was also
told that ~ German submarines
have thus far been sighted from
the air by British planes and at
tacks made in the majority of
instances. 1t also said that Eng
lish planes have made a COM
plete Photographic report on the
German West Wall.
France reported that many
German patrols have been sent
out from the West Wall but that
they have been beaten back in
most cases. Artillery has been
blasting away on both sides at
the front for more than IL hours.
1t also said that spring rains on
the Rhine is menacing many
sections of the West Wall.
Russian Question
Envoy from Finland departed
for Moscow today to confer with
the Government regarding the
Russian position in the Baltic.
Other Baltic governments have
been drawn within the sphere of
the Russian influence.
Diplomats pointed out today
that Russia is backing Germany
to the wall in many of her pro-
posals. They pointed out that
Russia has been given complete
ascendmcy in the Baltic, that
Germany opposes Finland drawn
with the Russian orbit but has
permitted it, that Russia has de-
manded clearing of all Nazis in
its captured sections of Poland.

''The Key West Citizen.
Gentlemen:
Il am today formally entering
the race for the position of mayor
of the City of Key West.
In announcing my candidacy,

ing the past nineteen years know
my qualifications, my ability, my
character and my various activi-
ties, beginning with baseball and
basketball during my early days
in Key West, and my Boy Scout,
church, lodge and civic activities
during the past years. Sufficient
to say that / have been here half
my lifetime now, married, with
four children. a property owner,
and have settled down to make
Key West my home in every re-
spect.
4 can only promise to the vot-
ers that I viii carry on in the
same way that / have in the past.
Yours sincerely,

Bob Feuer's
Father Here

Guests in the city over the
weekend were William Teller,
father of Bob" Teller, famous
young pitcher of Cleveland In
dians, Mrs. William Teller and
Miss Marjorie Teller, their daugh-
ter.
Bob" Teller holds the worlds
record in the major leagues for
most strikeoutS in a game, ID,
which was accomplished against
Detroit Tigers. Young Teller
learned baseball at the 'old
mans" farm in Iowa and went to
the major leagues straight from
High School without the usual
farming" experience in minor
leagues. He made the big leagues
at II. MIR. Teller, who, by the
way, appears younger than he his
for his age, still has his baseball
team back in Iowa.
A surprising fact is that Mr..
Teller has his baseball players in
Florida on the tips of his fingers.
He knows just about how all of
them are coming along. He
knows as much about the Key
West players, who this year are
getting minor league tryouts, as
any Key West fan.
