HITLER CALLING
ON MUSSOLINI FOR
ADDITIONAL MEN
NAZI LEADER NEEDS THEM
FOR DEFENSE OF TUNIS.
BIZERTE; YOUTHS OF. 10
CALLED IN ITALY
nv Associated PresO

LONDON, Nov. 26.-According
TO information received here,
Hitler has demanded of Mussolini
that he provide more troops for
the defense of Tunis and Bizerte,
and two things have happened
since yesterday to point out that
the reports are true :.
Hitler started yesterday to re-
turn to the Russian front thous-
ands of troops that had left there
for possible fighting in North
Africa, as result of the Allied in
vasion of that territory.
Shortly thereafter Mussolini
called to the colors youths of 10
years of age.
The military comment here is
that Hitler is convinced the fight
ing in Russia this winter will be
as general as it was last winter,
which means he must send to the
Russian front everv man. he can
spare. 1t is for that reason that
he has called on Mussolini to sup
ply the bulk of men for fighting
in the Mediterranean. area.

was pumped out, but his chance
OF recovery was said to be slight.
Another Poison" Case
When the sheriff returned to
his office from the hospital. he
was informed that white woman,
called Title Lane, was screaming
in her room on the second floor of
the building at Greene and White
head streets that she had taken
poison and wanted to die.
Sheriff Sawyer went to the
room, saw the blood on the floor
that evidently had come from the
woman's mouth, which was badly
cut. Her arms were bruised, and
the sheriff said that instead of
taking poison, she apparently had
been struggling with somebody.
He saw sailors clothes in her
room, and. on inquiring, learned
the woman was married to yeo-
man in the Navy Yard. The sher-
Tiff, therefore, reported the case
to naval officers.

AUSTRALIAN AND

FIERcER FIGHTING GOES ON

and nearer the American and
Australian forces, advancing from
different quarters. are approach
ing the Japs at Buna and Coma on
New Guinea and firecer and
tiercer are the encounters be-
tween the contending forces.
Much hand-to-hand fighting is
reported today, with neither side
giving or asking for any quarter.
1t was believed, judging from the
latest accounts of the fighting
that the surrender or annihilation
of the Japs is now a matter of on
ly few days at the most and a
few hours at the least.
Commanders of japanese ships
in the southern Pacific are well
aware of the almost forlorn hope
that face the Japs at Buna and Co
ma, and attempt after attempt has
been made recently to relieve the
garrison there. The last attempt
was made yesterday by two small
Jap troopships and two destroy
ers, but all of them fell prey to
American planes that flew to sea
from Port Moresby to bomb the
ships.
After the ships went down, the
airmen said, the sea was crowded
in the vicinity of the sinking with
Jap seamen and soldiers strug-
Cling for their lives.

The fleet that had gone out to meet
the Italian fleet that was reported
yesterday to be seeking action
with Allied warships.
The other report stated that
Hitler, having brought many hun
dreds of planes and many thous-
ands of troops from the Russian
front to fight in the Mediterran-
can area, is now rushing back to
the Russian front many of those
troops and many of those planes
because of the critical conditions
that face the German armies in
Russia, due to the great intensity
of the Russian winter offensive.

Realizing the seriousness of the
shortage of doctors in Key West,
the directors OF the Chamber of
Commerce appointed a hospital
ization committee, comprising
Fred Eberhardt, chairman, Ju-
lius F. Stone and Everett Russell,
to take up the matter further with
the United States Public Health
Service.
As Senator Claude Pepper hal
already brought the doctor sit
.uation in Key West to the alton

Health Service, Mr. Eberhardt
called up the senator on the tele-
phone and requested him to re-
new his efforts in this particular

Senator Pepper said he would
