that the Germans be "decentral-

this war probably was the last
chance" to control the Reich.

East Prussia and the transfer of
considerable western territory to
Holland. Prussia must be reduced
from 100000 to 12,OO0,O 900 inhabi-

Germany he proposed autonomous
states under a central government

KEY WEST POETRY

/ Hope shortly to have more
poetry from the magic pens of
S. c. Singleton, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, and
Barbara Greene. These two tai
ented poets write of Key West
straight from the heart.
Here's one entitled Red Hi
discus" by Steve Singleton:
1 am the Red Hibiscus;
With those strong pioneers who
built this State
l have kept step along the trail
From home, to home.
There have been times when
their tired eyes
Saw naught of grace or beauty
Save my red badge of courage.
Day by day, my vigor gave them
strength;
And, ever as they marched,
Brave women with toil-hardened
hands,
Planted my luSty branches
And saw in me a promise as I
waved
My red flag of defiance
To all the sombre wilderness.
And when beside a cabin door,
My scarlet trumpets glowed,
The sullen jungle owned defeat;
For, by my sign it was declared
That not more transientS paused
To loot the forest and pass on
But that a home would here
abide
When weaker planted things,
dismayed
Laid down their heads and
died,
Affrighted at the wilderness,
My flaming pillar led men on
Into their Land of Promise
And gardens rallied round my
faith.
Uproot me? In the hearts of
Pioneers
My roots are twined; and, while
men
Take pride in memory of bitter
struggle,
Like Goals upon a heartstone
Will l glow about their homes.
Who is it calls my dauntless
scarlet, common,
And would supplant me with
reluctant flowers
To grace decadent luxury? Not
any Pioneerl
For their hearts pulse with
blood as red,
AS common, as my blossoms are,
Let those who love bought
service
Bride uncommon flowers with
hireling labor,
But those whose trails led
Where the road now runs
See in my vivid flame
The Undimmed light of home.
