Sees EARLY END
OF PRESENT WAR
GENERAL ARNOLD SAYS WE
WILL WIN MUCH SOONER
THAN SOME THINK


WEST POINT. N. Y. June |.
General Arnold. during an adj
dress to the graduating class
here today. declared that the
Allies not only are going to win
the war but are going to win ii
much. sooner than most people
believe.
Victory is ours, and victory
will come sooner than most of
us expect. he said in effect.
General Arnold declared that
the basting that Allied planes
are giving Germany and the re-
verses she is suffering on the
eastern front would tear to
pieces the striking power of any
nation similarly placed.
With the pounding Germany
is getting from the air and her
forces are getting in foreign
fields, her collapse is likely to
occur at any time.
He was confident in his optim-
ism, which was more pronounced
than that of any other Allied
military leader.

CITY COUNCIL
MEETS TONIGHT
NOTHING ASIDE From RoU-
TINE BUSINESS SEIZED
ULED THUS FAR

There will be a regular meeting
of the City Council held tonight,
beginning at 8 o'clock, with only
routine business to come before
the meeting as it appeared today.
Many persons were under the
impression that the ordinance
calling for the removal of all Ii
quor establishments on Duval
street would be taken up at to-
nights session inasmuch as it was
deferred for further consideration
at the last meeting.
According to a statement made
today by Councilman John Car
bonell, who sponsored the ordi-
nance, which was presented at a
previous meeting, it will not be
taken up for action tonight as he
says that he is not ready to rein
troduce it as he feels that it should
be given further consideration for
various reasons.
Mr.. Carbonell said that he had
under advisement some form of
modification of the document, and
would not favor having it brought
up until he has discussed the new
proposed provisions with the other
members of the council.
Councilman Carbonell stated
that the scope of this ordinance
was far-reaching in its present
form, inasmuch as there are many
angles to be studied before taking
final action on its passage which
he felt would be very drastic if
adopted without some modifica-
ton.

Survey Made To Have
Remaining Bonds Re-
funded

A detailed account of Key Vests
financial structure is being pre-
pared by Attorney General j. Tom
Watson and a corps of assistants,
according to information that City
Attorney Thomas S, Caro- has re-
ceived from Mr.. Watson.
The attorney general explained
that he and 10 lawyers in his Of
flee are making an exhaustive
study of the financial condition of
Key West, with a view of having
its remaining bonds refunded.

of the visit made by representa-
tives of the city to the Florida Sc
curities Commission regarding the
further continuance or discontin-
uance of r. c. Drummer as the
fiscal agent for Key West. The
committee attending confer
ences held by the commission

years, three per cent the second 10

ments can be made.

The group added that vaccination
of dogs against rabies is of some
value but is not 100 per cent ef-

solution to the problem is to have
all dogs tied or confined in a pen
and to have all stray animals picked
up.
