JUALIN ORES
 TO BE GIVEN
 BROAD TESTS
Belgian Interests Will Put Pilot Mill on Berners
 Bay Lodes

A pilot mill will be installed on the old Jualin mine property at Berner's Bay this winter and E. Ponoin, one of Europe's leading geologists and mining engineers will run ore tests to determine the mill- ing requirements of Jualin ore should large scale work be undertaken.
 This was revealed today by Charles Mulder, representing Belgian inter- ests in the Jualin. He and Poncin returned yesterday from the prop erty with Ralph Reischl on the Ire va c. after several days of recon naissance work.
 Poncin, who speaks little English and talks through Mulder, will re- main here indefinitely to pursue test mill work, while Mulder said he would sail south shortly.
 Extent of proposed prospecting work to be done at Jualin is indef- mite, Mulder said, declaring that the ore will be tested for cyaniding, concentration and flotation to de- termine what the mill requirements would be for the operation of the mine.
 Poncin, one of Europe's promi- nent geologist-engineers. according to Mulder, was apparently enthused with the large scale mining possi- bilities of the Juneau -Berners Bay mineral belt.
 He said that geoligically, this dis trict, marked by dirite intrusions into sedimentaries, is markedly sim liar to the large gold producing area of Nova -Sibersk in Siberia, and that extensive prospecting work at depth should show large low grade ore bodies.
 Poncin stressed his belief, how ever, that this region offers little to the small operator, and insists that development here can come only through expensive prospecting by large companies who can bear the burden of the expense.
 Poncin was also puzzled as to the reason no road has been built to Berner's Bay from the present end of travel at Eagle River
 "A road to Berners Bay, follow ing the dioritic contact zone should develop a tremendous mineralized

WE WISH TO BE RESPECTED AS A NEUTRAL

Therein lies the hitch. A neutral nation MUST make belligerent ships stay out of territorial waters if it wishes to be respected as neutral. Just now we very much wish to be. Therefore we must undertake a pa- trol to see that British and French warships as we'll as German sub- marines stay out of our territorial waters.
 If belligerent submarine or surface warship should steal in- side the territorial waters and put down a couple of merchant vessels, we might be made to pay for the loss. It would make this country very angry to have to pay for half a dozen British merchant ships sunk by German submarines in side our territorial waters.
 Again, it is likely that both sides would respect our greatly enlarged strip of territorial water, after some preliminary grumbling, simply because our navy could fairly well enforce it.
 But even more questions arise. Britain is arming her merchant vessels. Germany has declared that they must be treated just like war ships because in -for-gun bat tie big merchant ship can whip a submarine. If we set out to be strictly" neutral, we may have to agree with Germany that armed merchantmen are warships, so far as privileges in territorial waters are concerned. Then we would be obliged to keep armed British merchant

Attempts Are Being Made to Break Various
 BIoCkddes
WASTING OF BL00DSHED, LAND FIGHTING, STOPPED

 Be||iqerenfs
(By Associated Press)

The eighth week of the European was found the belligerents, France and Great Britain against Germany, trying to break each other by block ades, by propaganda and by diplo- macy rather than wasting blood shed on land warfare.
 Big guns, tanks, planes and mass ed troops are on the Western Front where the French have withdrawn virtually from all positions on Ger man soil. French are still in pos session of the heights to the south west of Saarbruecken, important in- dustrial city.
 It is quiet, according to reports, on the Western Front with the ex- ception of scouting activity, but the belligerents are calling on other po- tent weapons in the struggle to shatter enemy morale and also win support of non-belligerent nations as a corollary to war.
 Russian Movements
 Russia continues a diplomatic campaign of dominance in Eastern Europe which has already brought Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania under her sphere of control.
 A delegation from Finland has re- turned to Moscow for more talks on Kremlins proposals which Russia has advanced to her northern neigh bor
 A Russian mission has arrived in Lithuania.
 Five Soviet warships are anchored off Libau, one of three Latvian ports set aside for Russian naval use under the Soviet -Latvian mutual as- sistance pact.
 SUDDEN ACTIVITY
 PARIS, Oct. 23-The Western Front sprang into life late this afternoon after days of calm.
 Reinforced patrols are fighting brisk engagements on the northern flank.
 This was revealed in High Com mand communique issued shortly after Premier Daladier announced he has called Parliament. in an extraordinary sessions for the second week in November for the purpose of approving financial credits.
 Skirmishing is reported to be heavy in the sector extending west toward the Luxembourg frontier from the Saar River Valley area.
 Two massive armies faced each other cross the German-French frontier, but with the exception of the occasional blast of cannon and the furtive movements of small bands of uniformed men stealing cautiously through no mans land there was nothing to indicate the death struggle of major powers prior to the latest night report.
 Rain, mud and the menacing rise of flood waters have slowed battle operations in the e n tire Western Front to a virtual stop. Germany has a million and half soldiers on her border, and at least an equal number of French and British troops are on guard on the French frontier

ADVERTISING PAYS

Advertising to pay must be in the
right medium, in the right manner, and at
the right time.
Just because someone is willing to
spend little money with newspaper
does not mean that he is an advertiser. 1t
may show that he is spendthrift.
The Citizen believes firmly in the
power of advertising in its columns We
feel certain that it will help the business
upon which it is spent. However, no adj
vertiser should get the foolish idea that all
he has to do is to put any old thing in
printed appeal and the magic of advertis-
imp will bring home the bacon.
Successful advertisers are men and
women who have studied the art, who lifl-
derstand some of the psychology which
sways buyers and know enough about the
things advertised to be able to buy and
sell them correctly.
For Key West merchants, advertising
is not the most important part of their
business. It is, however, an important fac
tor in merchandising which has demon
strated its power to produce sales results.
It should be utilized for that purpose, and
no other.
We have no objection to any person
spending money as he or she deems proper.
but it sometimes gives us a pain in the
neck to see what some merchants buy and
charge to advertising

CHANGES MADE
BY LEWIS IN HEAR
ING CONDUCTED

WASHINGTON, July 28.
Politicians in the nations CAPT
tai were placing various in
terpretations on the John Lewis
John Nance Garner episode
which occurred late yesterday
when John Lewis testified in the
hearing being conducted on pros
pective changes in the wage
hour law.
The House of Representatives
gave the Vice President a great
ovation in answer to the charges
mpde by Lewis that Garner was
"a labor batting, poker-playing,
Whiskey drinking evil old man,

leading the demonstration against
the Go leader.

election next year, will be the
Lewis outblrst; it was stated OH
all sides today. The situation all
the more lines up the conserva-
tive democrats with the republi-
cans, with Garner, as a result Of
the trade, the symbol Of the
union.
Lewis testimony completely
surprised the labor committee
members, catching them in no
position to ward off the attack.
It was felt that Lewis action will
be harmful to the labor cause,
coming as it did when Washing
ton was giving serious considera-
ton to more concessions to the
unions. Lewis has long con-
sidered Garner a bitter enemy of
labor, however, the personal at
tack will do him no good, in the
opinion of many statesmen.

1000 CHARTER ADVOCATES

Responding to the unwarranted at
tacks Of their opponents, members Of the
Charter Revision Committee have dug
down into their own pockets, not into the
city treasury, to print 1000 copies of the
proposed new city charter which will be
voted upon at special election August 15.
These copies will be distributed to in
dividuals and interested groups, SO that
they may be honestly informed as to the
provisions Of this new municipal docu-
ment. ssssa8ss
Even casual study reveals the lies that
have been spread by the taxeaters oppos-
ing the proposal to improve Key Vests
limping municipal machinery All that
the new charter does is replace worn out
parts with new, tighten up the bearings,
remove the rattles and grind out the car
bon of waste and inefficiency from the
valves of this operating machine for the
benefit of the taxpayers.
It does not give the mayor "dicta-
torial powers" as so frequently alleged In
news stories appearing in the Miami
Herald.
It does not deprive present city en-
ployes of their rights.
The new charter proposes to place
responsibility for the proper policing OF
the city in the hands of the city's chief ex-
ecutive, the mayor. The new charter pro-
poses an equitable form of assessment and
tax collection. The new charter gives city
employees civil service rights, privilege
they do not now enjoy. The new charter
gives the people power to recall city Off
Gals who neglect or abuse their jobs, a
privilege they do not now enjoy.
Opposition comes mainly from those
who benefit from the present order of
things and who intend to continue to en-
joy those benefits regardless of any other
consideration The citizens of Key West
will be given chance Aug. Is to answer
this opposition by voting for the new char
ter.
Without change there can be no prog
ress. The present city charter, according
to the record, has failed to restore the city
to sound financial position, to enable the
city to sponsor needed work projects and
to give relief to honest taxpayers who
have been footing heavy bill because a
chosen few have been permitted to es-
cape paying for necessary municipal
services.
It is too bad city council did not throw
open the registration books to all our citi-
zens. Only those who voted in the last
city election in 1887 may vote Aug. Is. If
all our citizens had a chance to vote there
would be no question of the outcome
