Announcement was made this week
of the drive now going forward to enlist
new members in Battery e., Florida Ma
tioral Guards. Full strength, increased to
lightweight men last year, is to be sought
before President Roosevelt issues the call
to go into year-long encampment to start
presumably some time next month.
Recent encampment OF our battery
had full enlistment present-but provi-
sions of the National Guard bill passed by
Congress allows all personnel below Of
ficer's rating, with dependents, to drop
out. This provision lowered Battery ''E's"
enrolment to about sixty-six total. The
difference is now being sought in the re-
cruiting drive.
The Citizen hiss implicit faith in
the purposes of the National Guards and
believes that a sufficient number of young
men in Key West will come forward IN
short order to fill the vacancies.
1t is to be remembered that enroll
ment in the Guards precludes the even

Soviet Premier Molotoff in speech
accused the United States of having an
'imperialistic appetite" If that were true
we would annex Cuba at once and keep the
Philippines; we would demand the French
and English possessions in the Western
Hemisphere for their debts to US, start a
row with Holland for the Dutch West In
dies islands, and look longingly toward
Canada. The people of the United States
have no imperialistic tendencies, but we do
want something and that is for the Eu-
ropean aggressor nations to keep off our
grass and Skinny on their own side across

Dispatches from Great Britain
reflect reluctance to consider any
alienation of the rigorous block
ade now covering the occupied
territories held by the Nazis, as
well as Germany. The British
contend that Germany is short
of essential fats and that any
food sent to occupied areas will
be equivalent to assisting Ger
many in securing the fats that
are essential to munitions max
ing. The British insist that Ger
many, having occupied the terri
tories, is responsible for the feed

We call attention to this situa-
tion because it is easy to create
sympathy for men, women and
children who lack food. There is
the possibility that some ill-will
toward Great Britain will result
from a campaign In this country
to pass food through the naval
blockade Americans should re-
member that both nations are at
tempting to blockade the ''ene-
my and that, apparently. Great
Britain and Germany alike are
depending upon the long-range
effects of a blockade to produce
the decisive results in the fight
ing. 1t should be understood,
also, that it is one thing to feed
starving people in a free coun-
try, and another to propose TO
feed the population in areas Oc-
cupied by German troops and
likely to be annexed to Ger
many.

Work Held Effective

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. l7.-Dis-
ease prevention work in Maryland
has paid remarkable dividends in
lowering death rates, DR.. Robert H.
Riley, State health director, told
Gov. O'Conor in his year-end report
submitted yesterday
Creation of a full time health unit
for typhoid fever control brought the
death rate down from 54 per 100, 600
population in 1928 to IL per 100000
in 1888. Total cases dropped from
789 in 1928 to 281 in 1888.
The incidence of diptheria sharply
declined in the 10-year period. Free
distribution of diptheria antitoxin
and diptheria toXoid for immuniza-
tion brought the total cases down
from 1889 to 1856. Deaths dropped
from LOG to 81 in the period.
The tuberculosis death rate was
markedly cut from 1864 per 100 900
to 68.3 in 1888. although the number
of cases remain virtually stationary,
5000 cases being reported in 1928
and 1904 in 1888. DR.. Riley said
tuberculosis among the Negro pop
ulation remains the main problem
in control of this disease"
