BELGRADE A SHAMELESS
The Yugoslav high command,
noting that enormous losses
had been inflicted on the Ger
mans, announced that Belgrade,
the bomb-smashed Yugoslav
capital which was declared q
open city before the Nazi inva-
sion. had been virtually de-
stroyed -. "its streets filled
with the bodies of dead women,
children and old men,"
In Greece. powerful British
forces were still waiting to 60
into action against the Nazi
steamroller, amid considerable
mystery as to their inactivity.
A British military spokesman
in Athens, ignoring German in
vitations to "come out and
fight" declared:
1--WE have no indication that
our troops have yet established
contact with the enemy. nor Is
there any indication when that
contact will be effected"
The British were said to be
holding . second defense line
southwest of Salonika.
ALLIED DEBACLE
AS the four-day-old battle of
the Balkans rapidly assumed the
aspect of an allied debacle, a
Nazi spokesman in Berlin de-
clared that the state of Serbia,
in southern Yugoslavia, was al
ready "tottering."
More than 10000 Yugoslav
prisoners, including several gen.
erals, were reported captured.
GREEKS WITHDRAW
Greek troops were said to
have withdrawn from Salonika
before the Germans arrived.
Berlin reported that Nazi
blitz forces had stabbed more
than hal. way through the
"waist" of Yugoslavia, and a
Yugoslav general hea quarters
communique, issued in Athens,
admitted the abandonment OF
the key rail city of Skoplje, at
the head of the Vardar river
valley, on the Belgrade-Salonika
railway.
Skoplje is SIS miles from the
Bulgarian frontier, where Hitler
started his panzer divisions roll

Plunging down the Vardar
valley, the swift-striking Ger

II was to the bridge of ships
problell that Land addressed
himself, thus becoming the first
high administration official to
speak out directly on the con-
voy-submarine problem.
He declared that when the
present U. S. shipbuil ling pro-
gram "gets into full speed" a
few months hence it will pro-
duce from 100000 to 1000, 900
tons of cargo ships year. This
may be insufficient to meet the
full extent of British losses" he
said, "but it is all that can be
done effectively without serious
changes in priorities."
The alternative attack on the
Atlantic transport problem,
Land said, is to reduce the effec-
tiveness of German raider activ-
tiles. Therefore, he asserted. this
country should consider "aiding
the British to put out the fire"
He did not propose specifically
how this might be accomplished,
but 1t is understood that in adj
ministration circles considera-
ton has been given ~ to turn
ing over more warships-de-
stroyers and cruisers-to Britain
and (2) to using naval vessels
under the American flag to
escort cargo ships.
The first proposal, following
the precedent set last fall by the
release of so destroyers to the
British, would keep the United
States flag out of the Battle
of the Atlantic" The second, &C.
cording to well-informed au-
thorities, almost certainly would
mean lifting the present combat
zones around England and run.

ALOT OF GERMS

If you are troubled with cough, an

NAV interest you to know that certain
malignant micro-organisms, in the human
body. under favorbe conditions, might start
off with one in the morning and wind up, "a

100000.
That figure, if you ask us, is lot OF
germs, ever if they measure 10000 to the
inch, as alleged by Ralph Thompson, in re-
viewing Justina Hills book, Germs and the
Man."
Miss Hill points out that tetanus spores
lurk everywhere and that "a out of 100 per-
sons are either carrying bacillus around
with them or have had .tub9culosis at some
previous time.
Bacteriology, it is refreshing to be re-
minded, has made great progress. Atetanus
antitoxin, used by Italian soldiers in
Ethiopia held the number of cases to five
out of potential 100000. The proposition
of deaths in the United States from tuber-
cuosis fell from 202 per 100000 of popula-
ton in 1900 to 40 in 1888.

MERCHANTS, PEDDLERs AND LAW

agent That this class of gentry is on the

thousands of dollars every year is apparent
to all merchants and bankers.
What can be done? Well, we offer
this suggestion, for mental assimilation.
The average peddler comes into a COM
munity wrapped in protective mantle that
is known as Interstate commerce. Under
decisions of the highest courts he does not
have to pay license. AS matter OF fact,
he cannot be taxed successfully by round
about methods, which have been tried and
upset time and again.
The local merchants, however, are
supposed to have a representative In Con-
gress. They should get behind the con-
gressmen and see that some way is provided
to permit the fair taxation of these out-of-
town peddlers and solicitors.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS

Modern brides, even though they have
the promise to "obey" omitted from the
marriage ritual, nevertheless submit to
ceremonial customs which originally sig
nified the woman's complete subjugation to
her husband.
The method of obtaining wife has
passed through three distinct stages-cap-
ture. purchase and consent.
Originally the groom's attendants
aided him in capturing his bride and max

groomsmen, in which the latter were, of
course. victorious.
A relic of marriage by purchase is
seen in the custom of giving away the
bride. and in that of throwing old shoes. the
latter being an ancient symbol of the trans
fer Of property.
The bridal veil is itself a sign of the
womans subjugation. and the wedding ring

coMMENDABLE SUGGESTION

Editor The Citizen:
Referring to your editorial of
December q, under the caption
Recreation Wanted" l would like
to ask why does not some organ
iZation sponsor an Open Forum,
Town Hall Meeting or some other
get-together whereby out-of-town
visitors and local residents might
exchange ideas of mutual interest.
There could be debates on public
questions, debates by school boys
and girls, literary programs in
which visitors would be invited
to give their reactions to con-
temporary literature. The same
with art and music. Our men and
women prominent in art circles
could arrange an evening when
the resident and visiting artists
might meet and mingle with other
residents and seasonal guests
There is a great amount of good
material going to waste during
the winter months with so many
visitors in our midst when moth
ing but a little inviting would get
them interested. Everyone likes
to talk, and many like to hear
good speakers.
All who come to Key West dur
ing the season are not interested
in night clubs and other resorts,
but would be delighted to spend
an evening with those of similar
tastes.
What makes our sister city Mi
ami so popular is partly due to the
climate which is God-given- and
also to the great interest displayed
by the civic groups in the stranger
in their midst
1t certainly would do no harm
to try such get-togethers this sea-
son, and if no interest is shown,
they may not be continued next
year.
