WITH THE AEF IN GERMANY,
May 16.-Early as it is in the oc-
cupation Of Germany, the American
Army already appears to have won
one major battle against an evil
which might have seriously under
mined its authority.
1t was the battle of the fake rape
cases.
AS yet, few level-headed high
Army officials are certain whether
it was an organized campaign of
subtle sex sabotage or merely sort
of individual feminine guerrilla
campaign.
Whatever it's origin - either in
dividual or collective-it has pretty
definitely failed.
To understand the seriousness of
the original situation when Ameri-
can troops first swept into Germany
it must be realized that, for both
moral and disciplinary reasons, our
Array views rape as civilian courts
view murder.
American soldiers have been
hanged for rape in several European
countries where this war has been
fought.
Hidden by Censorship.
Although there has been a strong
official tendency to cloak such cases
behind censorship or semisecret
court-martial sessions, still there
was an equally strong inclination to
see that Army men themselves
learned the fate of rapists. Other
wise the planned disciplinary effect
of capital punishment would have
been lost
Thus, word of the American
Arny's penalty for rape obviously
filtered into Germany. That at
least some Nazi-minded frauleins
heard of it and made their plans is
now matter of record. Others, per-
haps "innocently"-if that word is
fitting-fell into the scheme.
It should be said that the Army's
overseas rape cases generally have
been fewer than would occur among
a similar number of similarly aged
civilians in most countries.
But suddenly, in Germany, the
military police began to be ap-
preached by numbers of women cry
ing "rape!"
Arrests were made Immediately,
but Investigations prior to courts
martial began to unearth many dis
crepancies, for instance:
Out of three such complaints to
one division, medical investigation
revealed that two of the girls were
virginia. and civilians testified that
the third was a known prostitute.
Prompted by Germans.
All three finally admitted they
had been prompted by the depart
ing Germans to try the rape racket
as means of harassing American
troops.
Several cases of German girls
found fraternizing with Doughboys
first appeared as sex cases. The
frauleins realized they had been
found out, and, mistakenly thinking
they too would be punished for
such fraternizing, Immediately cried
rape in hopes of saving them
selves.
The soldiers we're punished for
such fraternizing-but there's diff
ference between a s65 fine and
hanging
More than once it developed that
frauleins who said they had been
raped did not even know what the
English word rape meant They
had merely been instructed briefly
on how to say it.
1t should not be assumed from
any of the foregoing that the Army
has suddenly become sexually pro-
miscuous. There probably Is less pro-
miscuity here in Germany than In

But it definitely can be assumed
that the Army itself has adopted

Rape remains a hanging offense
in the American Army-but no
Doughboy is going to the gallows
simply on the word of a clever
German girl.

Until recently-75 per cent of all the dairy prod.

Yet it has the climate, the soil and the people

That's why we can say: Dairy farming offers

1t offers new wealth to the farmer through the

1t helps to solve one of the South's most

WASHINGTON, March II. -
The Commonwealth of Australia
Information Department is really
going to town now in letting the
United States know about what
is going on down under.
One of the chief outlets for
this information is a slick paper
magazine, not unlike our own
Rockefeller office En- Gardia, that
goes to South America. 1t is call
ed Southwest Pacific. 1t is not
so pretentious as En- Gardia but
it has a disarming frankness
that often takes it completely
out of the realm of publicity or
propaganda.
The most recent example of
this frankness is an article called
AN AusSie Looks at the Yanks''
written by Bill Smith, an Aus
tralian writer who, l am assured,
has lived and worked with the
Yanks who are fighting the bat
ties of the Southwest Pacific.
Smith doesn't pull any punches.
He likes the Americans and
he's convinced that most Dig
gers" do. That's his conclusion
and he has plenty of proof of it.
But on the way to that concluS-
ion, he finds much to criticise
and many differences between
these Allies.
He finds the Yanks soft (sen-
timental to the point of guilt
bility) in several respects, espec-
tally toward women. He thinks
this may be because we are still
clinging to the frontier tradition
that "nothings too good for the
little woman but he points out
that it has laid the Yanks open
to gold-diggers who would never
get to first base with an Aussie
The chief source of complaint
among Australian soldiers
against the Yanks apparently is
that the boys from the states
have more money to spend and
hence have little trouble in max

DICCERS' DIG OUT THE YANKEES

ing time with the Australian
girls, making deep inroads on
their stocks of beer, and monopo-
lizing their taxis and places of
entertainment.
Smith doesn't think this is Sc
rious. He points out that the
Diggers did the very same thing
when they were fighting with
the British Tommies in the Med
lterranean theater.
However, the result is that on
leave the Australians and Yanks
don't mix much.
On the other hand, he has
found the Americans generous
almost to a fault. They'll share
their equipment, tn cir food,
their beer, their cigarets and the
proverbial shirts off their backs.
Smith asks lis the Digger, as
a fighting man, tougher than
the Yank?" He answers, Il don't
know. He certainly looks tough
err" He thinks however that's
due to the fact that Yank uni
forms are better cut, of better
material and often much cleaner.
Also that the Yank soldier gener-
ally is much younger than the
Digger. Given rough, often ILL
fitting uniforms, that jaunty,
floppy hat, and about ten years
in age and maturity, and there's
little doubt the Aussie soldier
looks tougher. Smith, adds, how
ever: PERSONALLY, I would hate
to meet Marine seeing red and
me at the same time.
Aussies, he says, soon discover
that they know more about the
United States than Yanks do
about Australia and find the lat
ter often naive about politics.
In concluding, Smith says,
We'll, Yank, l for one am pleas
ed to know you. We have a lot
in common. You and l belong to
the new world. We've found the
old one, its ideas, traditions,
politics, a bit on the nose (mean-
ing Stuffy)."

CITES HORSE MENACE

Editor, The Citizen:
| wonder if you would print
the item below in your Peoples
Forum?
Horses are being permitted to
roam free about the city limits
destroying property and endang-
ering the lives of children in the
vicinity.
A number of tines light fines
have been imposed on the own
ers but it is of no help. 5,
l think one of our antiquated
city ordinances protects our
property and our children by
prohibiting the freedom of
bothersome animals.
The animals are a direct health
menace to our city and a breed
ing place for tha numerous flies
that are now around the island.
The owners state that they
stable the horses but the child
rem release them. This is not the
case. These animals are lead to
different sections and tied to
small shrubs that are inadequate
to hold a dog much less a horse.
The horses get away and wand
er all over the surrounding ter
ritory.
The city ordinance provides for
a stable to be properly construct
ed so that flies can not breed and
get in or out of it. 1t provides for
screened stables outside the city
limits. The above mentioned
stables are not to be in the resi-
dental section of Key West.
/ The stables supposedly hous-
ing these horses are right in one
of the biggest governmental
housing projects in the city.
From these SO called stables the
animals wander into the project
and the surrounding properties
and cause havoc and destruction
to landscaping that has no
bounds. Yards are uprooted and
torn up so badly that it takes
months to landscape them again
l have been told of people be-
ing awakened in the middle oil
the night by their child scream
ing. When they 60 to the child
they find a horses head in the
child's bedroom window. My
child was in the yard playing
and a horse came in to enjoy
my fresh grass. The baby touched
the horses rear leg and the
animal kicked just missing hin
by a fractioh of an inch.
We have been waiting fol
action long enough now and
hope some members of our loca
government will do something.

TINTED COTTON NO COLORED YARN

made into yarn and woven into
fabrics by elderly ladies in spon-
sored organizations at Fayette-
vile, Ark, and Abbeville, La"
Station scientists say that
brown lint occurs in every
known species of cotton.
Only American upland cotton,
they say, produces Green fibers
which are bright colored when
the bolls first open, but on ex-
posture to light gradually fade to
brownish green.
But other than for use as
markers" in inheritance studies
the geneticists see little value in
the colored cotton they grow.
THE colored fibers are char
acterized by very low yields and
very low lint percentages. The
brown lints are very short and
weak, and fabrics made from
them are very notified because
of the variation in intensity of
the pigments" the station report
says.
"The green-lint fibers have,
however, been made into yarn
that is as strong as the yarn or
dinarily obtained from longer
cottons. The instability of the
green fermentation would pre-
vent the commercial use of green
fibers as means of obtaining
natural-colored fabrics"
