flee rather than to support a cause

flee rather than to support a cause
that he thought was wrong.
The line marked by conscience
is not all the time clear cut hence
the individual is to be the judge.
When a principle of right or
wrong is the issue one is justified
in deviating from preconceived
notions that have been handed
down by tradition or that have
fastened themselves upon him by
policy or discretion.
But when ones country is in
peril; when human rights and the
principles of freedom are in jeo-
pardy; when world crises come;
when the ld-blooded, cruel,
ruthless and INSCRIPTIONS hand
of force, murder, and bloodshed,
without regard for rights of any,
thing that is high, holy and sa-
cred, no mere superficial claim
to perfection either under our
constitution or under the auspices
of any organized force on earth
is a justifiable excuse for ones
not doing all he can to make war
more remote and hasten the time
when peace on earth and good
will toward man" shall dominate
the impulses of the whole human
race.

Five Years OF War

China might we'll hold it's head high
after five hard years of resistance against
Japan.
The Chinese people are now entering
their sixth year of warfare but they no
longer stand alone However, the situation
there is grave = the gravest since that sui
try July night five years ago when the
Marco Polo bridge "incident" outside Peip-
ing kindled the war in China
General Chang Kai-shek remains con-
fident that his nation, with American
help, will defeat the invaders. He says,
'the blow Japan received at Midway, in
the Coral sea, and at Dutch Harbor marks
the beginning of the decline of her fight
ing strength E. the final defeat of Japan
will start at sea and end on land"
In the five years of war, the Chinese
have inflicted 2,098814 casualties on the
japanese, including 1887, 665 killed or per-
manently disabled, have taken 27,408 pris-
oners, captured 6,541 tanks and other We
hicles and shot down or destroyed on the
ground 993 planes.
Admittedly, the Chinese have lost
more men than their better equipped foe,
but Chang has worked military wonders
with what he had. In so doing he has won
recognition as one of the worlds greatest
military technicians. The five years resis-
lance constitutes a record unprecedented
in the annals of warfare, not only of being
the longest war for the past 100 years, but
as an example of unprepared nation stand
ing against a4prepared one.
Our Allied nation has given us a lesson

German Character Shown

The Argentine government has now
tasted of the German arrogance and rela-
tons between the two countries probably
will be affected. -.-
Germany admits responsibility for the
submarine sinking of an Argentine freight
er and offers PREPARATIONS, yet refuses to
salute the flag as Argentina demands.
The Germans say the flag salute is an
obsolete diplomatic practice and alien to
the mentality of the "new Germany"
However, in World War I, the Germans
knuckled under to an Argentine demand
for flag salute after U-boat torpedoed
one of her ships.
The sooner Argentina finds out Ger
many is out for the complete dominance of
the world, the better off our South Ameri-
can neighbor will be in future relations
with the Axis powers.
Hitler definitely has his eyes on get
ting complete control of all countries to the
south of us and it is high time for Argen-
tina to stop blocking South American soil
darity against the Axis. The Allies need
their help now!

Harvesting Tobacco
Fork, N. c.
July 9, 1912

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Tobacco should be harvested
when fullest of oil in order for it
to cure easily and be rich and SUI
perior in quality. Oil does not
evaporate in the process of cur
ing like the sap does and remains
to give wealth to the weed. Oil
and sap (water) do not mix, but
come and 60 at intervals, during
the life of the plant. When the
sap rises it runs the oil out Coil
being lighter through the pores
of the leaf to the surface where it
forms a gum" we'll known to all
tobacco growers. Tobacco har-
vested when full of sap will cure
badly and be light and inferior in
quality.
My father, who lived to ripe
old age, grew tobacco for about
70 years. He found that there
are better times than others for
harvesting tobacco in order for it
to cure up nicely and be good in
quality. I shall be pleased to ans
wer any letters from tobacco
growing friends, provided postage
is sent for reply.
Yours truly,
w. H. DAVIS

LAW-ABIDIrkc DEFENSE AREA

A Citizen reporter heard federal of
fetal remark that it is little short of Won
derful how few crimes there are in Key
West in view of the fact that its population
has more than doubled in the last year or so
and housing accommodations are so short
Of meeting the demand, particularly among
colored folks who have come here TO work
for Uncle Sam since the war started.
Now and then there is a shooting
scrape among the negro newcomers, and
now and then women are arrested on the
technical charge of vagrancy. Key west
critics should bear in mind that in all the
cases that have concerned women, only one
of them was Key Wester, and as for the
trouble we have had among the colored peo-
pie, in only few instances were they Key
West men and women.
Even in pre-war days, with popula-
ton one-half the size of what it is today,
Key West has often had more crimes than
are occurring here today. Day after day
passes without the local policemen and the
sheriff forces making an arrest Sheriff
Berlin Sawyer often makes the rounds of
the the town between midnight and, day
light and finds peace and quietness prevail
ing everywhere. The day he left here with
a boy for the reform school at Mariana
Sheriff Sawyer said, Il was out from mid
right to daylight, and heard not a squeak
anywhere. The whole town seemed 20 be
asleep"
Key Westers have good reason TO feel
q sense of pride that our community is as
law-abiding as it is. AS rule, in war times
discretion is thrown to the winds by many
men and women too, resulting in an increase
in crime, but the reverse of that condition
is in effect in Key West today. 1t can re
said truly that Key West is law-abiding

NATIONWIDE CHURCH PROGRAM

A nationwide plan, under which many
churches will hold their financial cam
paigns simultaneously, has been recon-
mended by a committee of leading church.

greater emphasis upon the proper finan-
cial support of organized religion
Among the participating churches are
listed: Episcopal Northern Baptist, Pres
byterian, u S. A., Methodist, and others,
including Jewish synagogues.
Dr. Earl F. Adams, staff secretary of
the Northern Baptist Church, says chat the
purpose TO the movement is two-fold: ITO
bring the Importance of religion forcefully
to the attention of the community; and to
urge individuals to take more active part in
church work and to insure adequate finan-
cial support through regular giving"
While local customs will be considered
it is suggested that the canvasses occur in
two periods, with emphasis on the Fall
period: Nov. Is to Dec. 6, and Feb Fl TO
