his mind as a result of increased

Give Outline Of Activities
In Garden Clubs Projects

The Garden Club is most
grateful to the citizens of Key
West who have put over the
Street Planting and Botanical
Garden cistern projects, both of
which were started on Monday.
A total of 3,139 trees of vary
ing sizes and varieties have been
contributed, valued at a very
conservative estimate, at $1677 90.
These trees will carry the Street
Planting project for some months.
Those who are giving trees will
be notified before they are to be
taken up, so that they may super
wise the removal.
Towards the Botanical Garden
project Key West has so far con-
tributed $229.50 in cash, $1,000
worth of cement, and about
$1,000 worth of fertilizer. This
is considered excellent, when il
is borne in mind that this amount
was collected in two weeks by a
small committee, asking only
small contributions from in
dividuals. It is believed that this
amount will take care of the els
tern at the Botanical Gardens and
will help to start other much
needed improvements. Key West
is thereby helping to create
something which will be unique,
and viii attract visitors from all
over the country. There can be
grown in Key Vests own Botani-
cal Gardens rare tropical plants
and trees which will not grow in
any other area in Continental
United States. To mention two
well-known examples - Bread
fruit trees and Stefanotis vines,
neither of which will thrive even
in Miami, and both of which. are
of great interest to visitors.
Mrs. Phelan who, all Key West
ers know, has supervised the Bo-
tanical Garden Project for four
years, has detailed plans for its
future development, which, when
accomplished, will make these
Gardens something for Key West
to be proud of, and which will
make all those who have contri-
buted feel amply repaid. The
Garden Club feels that these Gar
dens will help increase Key
Vests budding tourist industry,
so that the citizens who have
helped develop them will not
only receive dividends in the
form of the thrill of having help
ed create something beautiful,
but also tangible dividends in in
creased travel to Key West, and
the knowledge that they have
helped provide necessary jobs
now.
The members of the Garden
Club who have sponsored these
two projects feel responsible to
the contributors for results. Hav-
ing asked for contributions of
trees and money the club is now
asking every citizen of Key West
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-08-30

to help take care of the trees
which are being planted. Mr..
Thomas, the w. P. A. Area Super
visor, has assured us that he will
do his part to make these prof.
Iects successful. He has been
most kind and helpful in working
them out. Let us all do our part
to complete a job so well begun.
The town will be amply repaid
when these trees grow to ma
turity.
Any city can be made beauti-
full by the expenditure of large
sums of money. Key West has
not the money at this time. The
city cannot now pay men to
maintain her parks and street
planting, but the cooperative, in
diligently directed work of all
her citizens can take the place of
money.
The Garden Club is adopting
the slogan Beauty brings Bust
ness. In the near future posters
will be displayed bearing this
motto, as reminder to each
citizen to do his part in helping
make his town more beautiful. If
everyone will help, in a short
time winter visitors will indeed
have something to write home
about. 4.

Var Situation Changes
But Little; Peace Is
Still Possible, However
u. S. Fully Prepared
To Pre- ect Home Shores
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3d.
Army and navy officials here to-
day stated their belief that the
defense facilities in their respec-
tive departments were entirely
adequate to protect home shores
in case of any threat that may
come from a foreign war;.
The bulk of the navy is in Paci-
fic waters, which, according to
high officials, is just where it
should be. There seems to be
general agreement between this
country and England, that in the
case of war threat, that the u.
S. Navy will guard the Pacific,
while the British Navy will be
free to handle the Atlantic,
which she is perfectly able to do.
The total u. S. fleet consists
of SCI ships of all classes, with
another 102 under construction.
With the exception of a few for
eign squadrons, and a skeleton
Atlantic squadron on this side
all ships are at stations on the
Pacific coast.
Ships TO Sail
The State Department stated
today that foreign liners held at
New York port would probably
sail this afternoon with the tide
for their home ports. Examina-
tions of the ships have been
made by port authorities on i'm
structions from President Roose-
welt 1t was not reported whe-
ther or not any arms facilities
were found, which was stated as
the reason for holding the liners.

Following the slap in the face"

United States diplomats today
were studying the new state of

washington officials were choos-

Five more months remain be-

Public opinion in the United

Liner America Is First
OF Five Hundred Ships
Planned For Merchant
Fleet
my Associated Press,

my Associated PressI
NEWPORT NEWS. Va. Aug.
3o.-When Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt "busis the bottle" across
the bow of the sleek liner Amer
lea here tomorrow. and the ship
slides down the ways over $4,000
pounds Of grease. the United
States will have launched the
largest liner this nation has ever
built.
This is an event worth celebrat-
ing especially for country
that has Jagged SO in the race for
ocean passengers that she had an
inferiority complex.
Among big ships, the America
lis no giant. She is 723 feet in
length compared with 962 for
Frances Normandie and 1918 for
Britain's Queen Mary.
500 More Ships
But, the America is only the
first of 500 ships the Maritime
Commission will build for priv
ate companies in the next ten
years under program to regain
for the nation prestige lost since
the COS. During the 10Th CEN
fury the country's swift, square
rugged clippers were world fam
cd. But our reputation evaporat-
ed with steam.
At present the country's larg-
est vessels are the sister ships
Manhattan and Washington each
of about $4,000 gross tons and
owned by the United States Line.
The America which is being
built for the same line, will have
gross tonnage of about 10000.
For Passenger Appeal
Few other luxury liners will
be able to match it in passenger
appealing features, says a Unit
ed States Line official. 1T will
have aforementioned public
rooms, glass-enclosed promenade
decks, hand-ball courts, and te1e-
phones and showers or baths in
nearly all staterooms.
The cost of the ship, $1,000
900, is so stiff that few private OPP
orators would have been interest
ed in building, without govern
ment help. Hollands newest lin
er, the Nieuw Amsterdam, for ex-
ample, is about the same size as
the America, but cost about half
as much to build.

LONDON. Aug. 30.-Adolf Hit

stated that such a demand had
been made. Poland denied hav.
ing received such an ulfimaturn.
further stating that if she had, i;
would be turned down fatty.
Much of the Hitler reply holds
elments conducive of a peaceful
settlement of the dispute now
raging, especially when. it is
agreed that negotiations, could be
entered upon under certain CON
diiions. These conditions pro
vide the stumbling block, because
it is reported that they deal. with
concessions to be made before
such negotiations could go for
ward.
Premier Daladier of France. IN
his characteristic manner, de-
scribed the German note as "en-
tirely unacceptable, and he goes
on to state that the Democracies
will not stand for any sacrifice of
Poland whatsoever.
To gain more ume-generally
agreed as good policy to enhance
the ultimate of peace-Prime
Minister Chamberlain stated to-
day that an answer would be
transmitted to Hitler, although.
as it was understood yesterday.
the note sent then was to have
been the final one.
Meanwhile, as lar as observa-
ton reveals, conditions of actual
preparation for war go forward
in the many nations of Europe.
Over 12.000,000 men are est.
mated to be under arms today.
many of them, however, in coun-
tries that have issued calls to
arms for purposes of protecting

Warsaw is reported to be in

Hitler's apparent demands for
the surrender of Polish territory,
additional and more far-reaching
orders for defense have been. is
sued by the Polish government
1t is not known just what Hit
Ter plans to do by way Of forcing
his hand. Whether immediate

come following one last attempt
to halt him by England is made,
