 Kaiser Had Trojan Horse
 There, they found the stories of the fall of these two great Actresses in 1914, and reports cur rent then that a fifth column" had been working for months with the German high command to bring about their equalization. A former intelligence officer re- calls that German imperialists months before August, 1914, bought large estates near these fortreSses and showed great predilection for building cement tennis courts. It wasn't discover ed until Belgium was a shambles that the tennis courts" were ce- ment slabs 30 feet deep, and really hidden supplements for big guns that battered the forts into heaps of crushed rock.
 The conclusion here is that that secret weapon of Hitler's is no more than this same fifth column The report that the men in Fortress Eben Emael suddenly discovered their machine guns and small cannon would not work was the clue. Somewhere among those 1000 men who threw up their hands in surrend- CT must have been dozens or ev| en scores who walked the Nazi glory road instead of the trail to prison camps.

HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
By Chuck Cochard

HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) - Europe's war is having a good effect on Hollywood in one res pect.
 Hollywood's foreign market for the sale of pictures is being cut off by this present-day con- fiict and although it is having a bad financial effect on the film companies today it's good infiu- ence will show in the long run. Already studios are aiming their films for domestic use solely = and that means more time and more care will be taken in the making of a picture. The results will be fewer, but better films.

EDITORIAL
CIVILIAN BOMBINGS AND TOTAL WAR

Authenticated reports of bomb ing of Paris by the Nazis, and de- claration of intention to retaliate especially if such raids are per sisted in carries the European conflict dangerously near if not into the most dreaded phase of warfare imaginable.
 The world shudders in contem plation of what it may all lead to. If "total' war-meaning the attacking of civilian populations as well as all armed forees-said to be threat of Germany, comes not man, woman or child may escape the most horrifying con- sequences. Humiliation of civil ians as well as military units, with no mercy on anyone would follow.
 Cities harboring troops or ln any way provided with defensive or fighting equipment, according to dispatches attributed to Ger man origin, will be construed as legitimate objects of attack. They intimated Paris was so equipped. Whether or not this is only pre- text, the worst is now threatened.
 The war has reached such a stage, that it will require little more to precipitate open attacks on city after city, fortified or un- fortified. The world at large may hope for this unbridled form of warfare to be averted, but will 1t.
 It is not to be forgotten that in the recent Spanish war Mad rid and many other cities were re peatedly bombed and reduced; that in China, the Japanese all but wiped out Shanghai and oth- CT great Chinese cities in air raids and naval attacks, hesitat- ing at nothing until they had gained control.
 Appeals of neutral nations or former conventions or agree ments between nations are now nothing. The determination to de liver the last crushing blow and batter France to her knees and then invade England may afford excuse for resort to any method conceivable of breaking civilian morale-but victory purchased at such debasement will win for those responsible the contempt of every nation still possessed of a sense of honor or compassion for the innocent or helpless.
 America and the nations com nai.ted to the high ideals of dem oeracy may now witness in Flu rope what may be expected Ii they become involved or fail to prepare to keep the disciples of ''t tai" war from the shores of the Western World.

Two Cops On Duty

When the sixth column, or para chute troops, arrived at one of the main airports near Rotter- dam, only two civil policemen were on duty-the only logical conclusion being that someone in the army had ordered all troops away from the airport at the zero hour.
 In several of the principal cities the air raid alarm system went completely hayWire. Sirens screamed day and night, throw ing the cities into utter confu- sion.
 In Amsterdam, the water sup ply system - that vital artery which Is the first objective of saboteurs-washed out complete ly.
 In The Hague, the heart of the Dutch government, there was an uprising which took on the es- poets of an organized revolution.
 Hour after hour, parachute troops were reported landing in localities where, strangely Dutch troops weren't.
 And most significant of all, the Nazi invasion of Holland wasn't even off the griddle before Eng land started nation wide clean up of aliens.

WASHINGTON - Over in the block long munitions building, whose architecture is early 20 tn Century whitewashed bar racks, the army boys have torn from their books that venerable saying, You can't beat the Dutch
 On the nice clean page they have inserted, there is a Warn ing to Future Generals: The way those fifth column work beats the Dutch"
 Sitting down the reports of the Nazi's fve-day blitzkrieg of Hol- land, the army experts have con- eluded that the fifth column has again proved itself the most valuable weapon developed in modern warfare.
 The secret magic with which the Nazi hordes over-ran Holland although the Dutch had been pre- pairing for such an emergency for years, can, say the army men, be summed up in two words Internal combustion.
 For example, from the very out set of the German invasion, snip CTS took a toll of Dutch soldiers from the roofs and windows of buildings even in the well-polic- ed cities of The Hague, Amster- dam and Rotterdam.

COST OF ORNAMENTS

1t is difficult to realize what a crush
ing economic burden war and preparations
for war are placing on the peoples of the
world, to say nothing of the terrible sac
rifiees of human lives which war entails.
Ave think, and rightly that the expen-
ditdreS being made for national defense by
our own country are enormous, but rela-
lively they are small compared with those
of other great powers. This Is illustrated
by an estimate given in the United States
News, which compares military expendi-
lures of various nations with their national
income 1t says:
Where the United States devotes less
than three percent of national income to
defense, Britain is devoting 80 percent,
Japan 80 percent, France devoted 40 per-
cent. Germany as much as so percent.
No estimates are given for Russia,
Italy or other nations, but it is known that
all are making expenditures for arma-
ments far greater than ever before. And
in every one still heavier burdens will be
laid on the people as the theaters of war
are extended.
Appalling as all this is, the situation
must be faced by every nation, however
muchofts people may desire peace. Even
the most ardent pacfisto can, now realize
that the United States must arm nightly
for national defense-and we may as well
Drepare to nav the price.

GROWTH OF HOSPITALS

In 1875, when this nation was already
a century old, it had only 149 hospitals,
containing $4,000 beds. In the IS years
which have elapsed since that time these
facilities have been increased to more than
5000 registered hospitals with total of
1,195,026 beds, and with capital invest
ment estimated at nearly four billion dol
lars. These figures are from a review by
the Hospital Research Institute of Chicago.

WATERS COMING SOON!

Action taken by Congress last week
end in passing the navy aqueduct bill, be-
ing part Of the national defense measure
tOtalling over a billion dollars, met with
universal approval in Key West. The
amendment added to the bill brought the
Florida Keys Aqueduct Commission into
the picture in cooperative position, with
that agency's total project of 81 100000.
Thus, both sides of the question as to who
will bring fresh water to this : city have
won their case, and, as the popular saying
has it, we're all happy about the whole
thing.
The Citizen has been definitely on
record as wanting an aqueduct line con-
structed. 1t cared not who built the line
just so some agency showed definite
proof of ability to bring fresh water to Key
West and the sooner the better.
At one time, it looked like the navy
department was going to win out in the
matter, what with Congress in a mood to
appropriate any amount of ready money
for construction of any project defined as
necessary for the country's defense. And
the navy, in no uncertain terms, has stated
time and again, repeating the statement
just last week, that speed is essential in
bringing water to Key West.
That's all well and good. Now, with
the insertion of the Aqueduct Commission
project into the picture, with the assur-
ance that final steps are about to be taken
to obtain Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton approval for loan of S1,O00,000 to
the commission, and steps already taken
for WPIA labor project to match the ma
terials to be purchased with the loan, there
is every good reason to expect that the to-
tai project, navy and commission, can get
the go-ahead signal at any time.
OF Importance to Key West and the
keys. is the knowledge that both projects,
working hand in hand, will provide for a
much larger flow of water into Monroe
County than if just one of the projects had
been approved 1t was stated that the
navy pipeline called for 10-inch pipes.
That being true, the addition of the COM
MISSIONS project will enable the navy,
which was supposed to have preferred SUI
pervision of the whole works, to install
much larger pipes on the line-some es-
timating from IA to 16 inches.
In view of increasing evidence of ex-
pansion in Key West and in much of the
keys area, the increase in pipe size will
provide cur needs for many years, whereas
the smaller size may have been outgrOwn
in few years.
Water is coming to Key West! The
Citizen rejoices along with all of Key
West.
