ADVISORY BOARD
SAYS CLINIC CAN

JULY 18TH: MATTER GIVEN
TO TWO COMMITTEES

Rev. John c. Gekeler and DR..
William r. Warren, members of
the Welfare Advisory Board, or
ganization sponsored by the
County Commissioners, sponsors
of clinic activities in the city, ap-
peared before the City Council
last evening to present the prob
lens of that group TO the city
for whatever enSolvement could
be effected.
A detailed report of the elm
les work during 1899 was read
by Rev. Gekeler. giving income
and expenditures. 1t was ex-
planned that chief working funds
were made available when the
county sold the ferries two years
ago.
Both men pointed out the ne
ceSSity of continuing the clinic.
DR.. Warren stating that Key
West was unique in that no sup
port was provided for a local hos
pital and that INDECENT sick were
cared for by physicians in priv
ate practice The Marine hos
pital was highly praised for its
cooperation with the clinic, in
taking disqualification cases at a
set fee of $500 per day when
it was known fact that each
patient costs the institution over
$500 per day.
Dr. Gekeler explained that all
cases reporting to the clinic were
charged 25c registration fee and
25c for each prescription filled.
He stated that funds amounting
to $4,000 were available as of
this date, and that the clinic
could continue. under present
average conditions. for another
two months.
In recognizing need for city
wide support, Councilman Ram
.scy answered the Advisory
Boards plea for assistance by
asking. Where is the money
coming frOm?" He went on to
say that it appeared entirely ad-
viSable for the CITY to seriously
consider system of direct taxa
ton in order that not only the
clinic, but regular police and fire
service could continue to be rem
dered by the city.
With that. the matter was re-
ferred to the Finance and Public
Welfare Committees. both TO
work in collaboration in bringing
a solution to the problem.

Board present were Carl Berval-

Since the downfall OF Holland
German newspapers have been
blaIing forth about a Nazi inva-
sion of the British Isles. When
and how this will take place has
been the cause of much debate.
A German blitzkrieg by air
and sea against England depends
on two factors. Nazi military
quarters assert. The first is the
outcome of the Battle of BruS-
sells" and the second is whether
Italy will enter the war, which
Hitler believes MuSSolini will do
ShOrtly-On the Germans side.
However, the Nazis' war
strategy of surprises may carry
the conflict To the British Isles
before the determination of those
two factors.
At any rate. the English gov
eminent is rushing all prepare
tiOnS to meet with this expected
total war. Should the Ger
mans drop bombs and parachute
troops over the Isles, it will be
the first time in 900 years Eng
land has been invaded.
British military StrategiStS be-
lieve Hitler will send huge bomb
ing fleets, possibly totalling l.
600 planes. over Britain from his
Dutch bases. Main English points
are only a few minutes flight
from Nazi bases now that Hol-
land has surrendered.
Germany claims that the Eng
liSh manpoweT IS now practically
all absorbed in battles in the low
lands and that the Isles are "un-
defended. This will allow. mill
tary quarters say, the landing of

According to employees of the
hotel, where Mr.. Davenport had
been for the last three days, he
had given no idea of his inten-

chance remark overheard to the
; effect that this is going to be
my last call at this hotel.

LONDON. May l7.-Late dis

lenses in Belgium and were

1t was announced earlier today
that the Belgian government had
moved to OStend.
In a series of messages to the
British press, officials of the war
ministry today asked that the
English newspapers announce the
gravity of the war situation to
the British people.
Withhold of the attack on Eng
land was thought possible in
some quarters here, pending al
legged preparations for a Nazi
separate peace gesture towards
France. This was not officially
released, but the importance of
SOME sort of a Nazi move in that
direction was thought possible.
Early today the Allies reported
that their planes had conducted
bombing raids on military objec-
tives in Cologne.
InceSSant wave after wave of
soldiers of both Germany and the
Allies were being poured into he
Belgian and French lines today
with over 100000 men in des-
perate struggles to bring victory
to either side.
In one sector of France, the
Germans have proceeded into
Maginot Line defenses approx
mateIy 100 miles from Paris.
While admitting no serious dan
ger, French officials have pro-
claimed the whole Paris area as
a military zone.

Tense system was minimum in
extent and stated that more ap-
preparations would be sought in
exact proportion TO the serious
ness Of the turn of events in Eu-

Meanwhile, Congress pushed
forward in legislative effort to
effect granting of the original
proposals at the earliest possible
moment Most sources thought
it possible that full demands
would be met in both houses of
Congress some time next week.
Airplane manufacturers and
officials of the army and navy

cd into conference next Monday
to ascertain possibility of full
filling the Presidents demand for
d fighting force Of $4,000 planes.
1t is planned to concentrate
manufacturing units for the new

that an overhanging cornice, that

No one was hurt in the crash,
