Now that the German Govt, in a
hree-thousand-word statement asserts that
the origins of the war are in ''the treacher-
Gus, two-faced game" which Great Britain
played with Poland, the only mystery left
to be determined is who is responsible for
the hostilties between Russia and Finland.
What nefarious plotter persuaded the
Firms that they could run rough-shod over
the Soviet? Who provided the tonic that
convinced 100000 Firms that they could
whip a nation of 17O,OOO,00O people?
What potage did the Firms drink to make
them so warlike as to menace the security
of Russia?
Of course, we have the word of Soviet
officials for the offensive tactics of the
Firms. They tell us that the safety and
security of Russia were threatened by the
aggressive policy of Finland. They send
us news of bombardments which they say
were initiated by the Finnish artillery and
evidently designed to lure the Russian
Army into trap.
Seriously speaking, however, the
civilized world must stand aghast at the
picture presented on the border between
Russia and Finland. A vast army be-
longing to an immense nation, marches
forward to trample under their feet the
resolute soldiers of tiny republic. It is a
disgusting spectacle and enough to scken
the heart of humanity everywhere.

CAROLS FOR CHRISTMAS

Songs of joy and praise, especially of
the Nativity, have marked the pathway of
Christianity through the years. Carols at
Christmas are common in most Christian
lands. In some communities celebration
of Christmas is not regarded as complete
without carols. Some communities have
even attained national or international
fame for the quality Of the community
carols. In season, there is no more beauti-
full singing. Nothing is more stirring
more compelling, more thrilling. No mat
ter how hardened we may become under
the buffetings of life we are stung to the
depths by Christmas carols.
So it is with great of satisfaction
that The Citizen calls attention to the fact
that Mrs. Eva Warner, Monroe county di-
rector of the statewide WPA recreation
project, is working on a proposal to make
the singing of carols a Key West Christ
mas eve event. Tentative plans call for
the rehearsal of a group of singers and
their appearance at various points through
out the city Sunday night, December "a.
They plan to travel from point to point in
truck They. propose to carry piano
for accompaniment.
It sounds like grand idea. Hun
dreds of visitors and sailors will be in town
Christmas eve. Many of them will be lone
some. Their thoughts will be filled with
cid memories-nemories of old homes, old
scenes, old friends, old songs. They will
rcam the streets seeking solace for their
souls. Suddenly group of voices spring
into the air. A Christmas Carol will shoot
through the hubdub of street sounds.
They will pause, they will listen. Some
how their minds will be at rest. Some of
the hurt of their Ionesomeness will be
wiped away. The true spirit of Christmas
will have crept into their hearts. They
will find peace.
The Citizen knows that those vol
unteering for this Christmas eve song cele-
bration will give their best. They will
bring joy to themselves and to others
those others who are here far from their
homes and dear ones. We believe it will
be an outstanding Christmas event. We
feel that it will merit the thanks of the en-
tire community. We hope there are some
good carols this Christmas.

THE "CHARITY" RACKET

While some states have legislation to
control fraudulent charities and to reg
ulate professional beggars, many of the
commonwealths of this country have failed
to pass legislation designed to protect the
generous public from becoming the VIC
Tins of charity racketeers.
While this detestable fraud is more
prevalent in the metropolitan cities, it is
not entirely unknown here. Many schemes
are engineered, under the cloak of a
charitable or worthwhile object, but when
the funds are divided between solicitors
and others, the so-called object of the
drive nets practically nothing.
The average citizen has kind heart
and usually responds literally to what he
considers real need. 1t is not always wise
to give coin to every one who asks for
assistance.

1t is generally thought that a camel
can go seven days without drink, but
whein h.. wants to be camel, has been
a jocular disclaimer. However, it is not
true that camel can go without water for
a week; in fact it drinks about ten gallons
a day. In its hump it conceals natural
reservoir, score or more of pouch-shaped
cells, each holding about three gallons of
water. The beast can open cell at will
and drink its fill whenever it becomes
thirsty. That knowledge is new to the
writer whatever it is to the reader.

clearer. There is good deal of

WALLACE AND HULL sPEAE
LOOKING TO CONGRESS
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
THE ANTITRUST LAWS
JAPAN AND THE Y. S.


Secretary Wallace and Secre-
tary Hull took occasion last week
to make addresses at the annual
meeting Of the Farm Bureau
Federation in defense of their
respective policies. Mr.. Wallace
proclaimed the virtues of the
AAA and Mr.. Hull stoutly de-
Tended the reciprocal trading
program, asserting that it was
beneficial to agriculture. These
cabinet members apparently rep
resent the first move of the Adj
ministration to meet constantly
growing criticism of its program
in the farm areas of the West.
Speculation as to the length of
the approaching Congressional
session can be discounted by the
SIMPLE truth that nobody knows
what will develop. Internal ques-
'tions are not apt to prolong the
session but the developments that
occur across the Atlantic may
make a difference. Naturally,
1910 being a campaign year, the
Congressman will want to get
home early enough to take up
the defense of their records and
the President, it is thought,
would not mind the absence of
Congress.
Suggestions continue to be
heard that the Presidential cam
paign next year will get off to a
delayed start. The idea has met
with approval on the part of
some Democrats and Republicans
although it is too early to de-
termine whether the subject will
prove to be anything more than
discussion. The Republicans, it
is said. prefer to hold their con-
vention last but the Democrats,
if they delay their own, may
force the Republicans to go
ahead or else have very short
campaign.
