WIDDISON HERE
THREE MORE DAYS

Only three more days are left
to hear the lectures by Alfred A.
Widdison of London, England,
who will speak tonight, Thursday
and Friday at the Harris School
Auditorium.
This speaker was brought to
Key West by the Gospel Hall,
100 Southland street.
Mr. Widdison's home is in Lon
don, England, but he is rarely
there. His ministry, covering a
period of twenty-five years, has
carried him across the Seven
Seas. to the Five Continents and
the Islands of the Seas. He is a
man of wide experience and of
extensive travel, and from his
store of travel and experience he
enriches his messages.
Brought up under the influ-
ence of an infidel father, with
out religious training, his early
youth was wild and careless. In
the midst of a storm, which
threatened to engulf the ship on
which he was travelling from
England to Spain, God in a very
remarkable way dealt with him.
He turned to God as the only
Saviour two weeks later.
Mr.. Widdison thus speaks out
of very real experience of the
saving ard keeping power of
Christ. Incidently, he is a vet
eran of the Great War, from
which he was sent home to die.

Seriously denied" in dispatches
from neutral observers near the
front.
Firms, however, denied that
any material advances had been
made the while they did admit
that never before had they been
called on to combat such ire
mendouS odds. Russians were
driving forward by the thou
sands, they said, seemingly in
never ending waves of advances.

but the Sovicts appear more and
more determined to bring a def

Urgent requests for aid of all
kinds was sent out from Finnish
headquarters in Helsinki to
friendly nations. 1t is thought
that defenseS cannot hold out
much longer against the quick

Finnish leaders, in making the
appeals for help, realize that
fact.
British sources here stated that
subjects of England in Finland

class which will include all men

SCULPIN is SISTER SHIP
OF ILL-FATED SUB
SQUALLS; ESCORTED
BY DESTROYER


N. II. last year. were among the
Is naval vessels in Key West
harbor today.
Under escort of the Destroyer
Cole of the Middle-Atlantic
patrol, the submarines Spearfish
and Sculpin entered the channel
early this morning and anchored
about two miles from the sub
marine base.
The Spearfish came here from
Newport, r. l., while the Soul
pin, sister ship of the Squalus,
arrived from Annapolis, Md. 1t
will be recalled that the Sculpin
was nearby when the Squalua
nosed into the bottom of the
ocean off Portsmouth, and stood
by while salvage and other naval
vessels came to the rescue.
Escort of the submarines by
the Cole was deemed essential
to prevent the submersibles from
being mistakes by> British war
ships for German U-Boats. Last
week the destroyer Schenck of
the Key West patrol escorted
another submarine, the Sea Lion,
from the east coast to st. Peters
burg.
Early arrivals in port this
morning also were the destroyerS
Twiggs, Wickes, Evans and
Philip, which had been absent
for several weeks. They had
been among the 20-odd naval
vessels which recently parti-
cipated in naval maneuverS off
the Dutch West Indies. Soon
after this division arrived the
destroyer McCook also came into
port after a neutrality patrol
tour.
When these ships got into
port, the flagship Lea and the
Bancroft. Rodgers and Mason of
the Key West patrol squadron
were tied up at the naval station.
The seaplane tender Gannet was
likewise on hand.
This is the largest naval fleet
that has been in Key West since
the station was TeOpened last
Nov. /. How long the ships will
remain is problematical. 1t is
the submarines will
be here several days. They are
to be on a regular
cruise and may en-
gage in some routine diving ex-
erciseS while in this area.

LATE NEWS BULLETINS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Feb. 14.-Nazis re-
leased news of Importance to the
United States today when. they
stated that ships of any nation
carrying contraband to enemy
countries would be torpedoed
without warning. The warning,
it is believed, is given to place
responsibility for future neutral
ships sunk squarely on the
shoulders of England and France
and not as any direct threat to
the United States or other coun-
tries.
