Some persons fancy that power
of magic" helps the diviner, or water
witch He locates water so often
that they suppose it could not be by
chance.
The fact is that water can be
found in most places If you drill to
depth Of from 10 to 200 feet. On
all the continents of the earth
water level" exists. This is some
distance under the ground.
Near the shore of lake, the water
level may be only a few feet below
the surface. Elsewhere you may
have to drill very far down to reach
water. Water from a deep well
usually is safer to drink than water
from a shallow well.
Some diviners owe their success
to knowledge they have gained by
many trials. Because of that knoWl-
edge, they may be able to locate a
good place to drill more often than
the average person.

HITLER READY TO OFFER PEACE?

Adolph Hitler is expected 20 launch Z
peace offensive at the conclusion of his
present campaign in Russia 1t will be de-
signed to tempt the people of the United
States and Great Britain, seeking 10 divide
them on the issue of war and peace.
The failure of the German Army 10
crush Russia in 1912 is generally recog-
uicate that the NaZis are constructing
strong defense lines, preparing for the in
evitable hour that German troops will have
to meet the offensive that the United Ma
tons will launch in Western Europe.
Those who have followed Hitler's as
Sault on civilization will recognize that he is
employing his usual tactics The peace
talk will be designed TO soften up The
ArglC-Saxon resolution to finish The war
If it works, it will give the Nazis gem
erals time to adopt defensive strategy in
Russia and transfer fighting men to the
Western front This operation will get I'M
del way before the end of 1912 and by next
Spring, Hitler hopes to be able 10 contain
the Russians and be prepared for the Allied
offensive.
L should be thoroughly understood
that peace talk emanating from Germany
does rot indicate abandonment of NaZi
plans. The louder Hitter walls for peace,
the more reason we have for suspecting him.
While there is no chance at all that
Hitler's peace offensive will affect the gov
ernments concerned and little prospect that
it will influence the thinking of the ma
jority of English-speaking people, there is
d prospect that it will find some response
among the Pacifists in both countries. Given
some leeway, the efforts of this group can
become dangerous.
Basically, there is no hope for world
peace except upon the basis of mutual con-
fidence between nations. The record OF
Germany, Italy and Japan prevents any in
telligent individual from accepting the
word of the Axis governments. To believe
them would be folly and to rust hem
would be fatal

But if Key West had stadium, Key
Westers would know not only where base
ball would be played but all other kinds of
contests also. And the Key West Stadium
Committee, under the craftsmanship Of
Gerald Saunders, is determined 10 have a
stadium built. The site, 500 by 500 feet,
has been cleared and much other work has
been done successfully. With the coopera-
ton of Key Westers generally, by next
spring the time Mr.. Saunders thinks the
stadium will be ready for the playing of
some games, Key West will be put into the
class of those up-and-doing cities that pro-
