With the shipment of articles made
by Key West women working in conjunc-
ton with the local Red Cross chapter 60
irg forward to New York headquarters to-
day goes this city's heartfelt expressions of
sympathies for the war sufferers in war
torn Europe.
Key West is doing its part in the
great National drive to send relief to Eu-
rope. It's financial quota set by Red Cross
headquarters was filled with dispatch by
the local committee. Now, with the con-
signment of garments prepared by list of
nearly seventy-five willing Key West
women, this city again demonstrates that
it will not shirk its responsibilities in a
loyal and patriotic sense to alleviate world
wide suffering.
Many people stopped in to see the ex-
hibition of materials prepared by these
workers during the past two months. And
the display was quite worthy in its num-
Der of articles and quality of workmanship
There were sweaters for men, women and
children layettes, great array of dresses
for women and girls, suits for men and
articles to our way of thinking, but all so
desperately needed by refugees in Europe
today.
The work is going on, The Citizen
hears, with still more women enlisting to
devote few hours each week in this
humanitarian wOrK-Knitting and sewing
garments for orphans and widows and
homeless families of. conquered lands
abroad Still others will contribute money
which will be used to buy materials and,
-all in all, a solid front will be presented in
this battle locally to relieve the horrors suf-
fered by thousands upon thousands in Eu
rope-even as it is being done throughout
America today.
Vivid pictures of suffering are flashed
across the ocean to us concerning the
urgency of this work. The inadequacy of
the work done so far serves to spur the
women of the nation on to greater results.
The Citizen cOngratulates the women of
Kew West for the cooperation they are ex-
tending to the cause. The whole city is
proud of the part the local chapter and its
committee is playing in fulfilling Key
Vests obligation.

The Petain government thus abandens
the ideals of democracy upon the orders
of dictator. The French pretend to like

will denounce democracy, excoriate the
