NAVAL OFFICERS SILENT AS

Conjecture ran nigh through
the Key West Naval Station this
morning-in fact. throughout all
Of Key West-following reports
released early today that the Key
West-Wesf Gulf Patrol ships now
at this station would leave late
this afternoon or this evening
on sealed orders.
Naval officials here would not
venture an opinion as to what
prompted the orders coming from
"higher-ups", but il was thought
that extra-emergency measures
in connection with recent war
moves in Europe were respon-
sible for the secret mission.
On sealed orders, ships leave
their base without any know
ledge of their destination until
well out TO sea, where the orders
are opened and read at a desig-
mated time and place.
In view of the turn of events in
Europe that has found France lin
ing up with the axis-powerS in
the war against Britain, some
opinions locally were to the eff
feet that the Key West ships will
go to the French island posses
sion of Martinique.
This assumption is backed up
by the effort to be made by the
United States to prevent any
foreign nation, including France,
