liberated countries. All clothing ir
FL Centro should be brought to ROB
ertson's and Duringer's garage from
$3.50 am. to pm. or to the f1rt
station any time of the day or night
The nationwide roundup during
April of clothing desperately needed
by War-Stricken people overseas
gives all women the chance to make
life-savers out of the outgrown, out
of-date and spare garments and
shoes that are stored away in closets
and dresser drawers.
CHILDREN IN NEED
The appeal for clothing is being
made especially to women because
they are the ones who decide what
to do with old clothes. All kinds of
children's garments are needed, es-
pecially warm ones for next winter.
Shoes for liberated children are also
badly needed to replace the wooden
shoes they have been wearing since
the war. Doctois in these countries
say children's feet are already being
deformed by the wooden shoes,
which were worn before only by The
lower classes.
Evening dresses and suits won't
be needed by the war refugees
What they want are wool dresses
and mems suits or sweaters for
both men and women. In fact, most
any kind of durable warm clothing
will be welcomed by the committee
Cotton garments can also be used
and the committee has asked that
these be washed but not ironed oe-
fore they are left at the collection
stations. Bedding is another item,
needed by the liberated countries.
WARM CLOTHING NEEDED
In Europe alone, there are thirty
million boys and girls who have pitt
fully few clothes. Countless numbers
have nothing to wear to school or
for outdoor play and in cold wealth
er, they must stay in bed to keep
warm. Newborn babies are wrap
ped in newspapers for warmth.
The cotton clothes will be well
coined by those freed in the Phil
ippineS as the japanese took every
bit of clothing when they occupied
the islands.

"What has become of the

"What has become of the British
fleet?"
That question has been asked in Key
West, on-a good many occasions, and prob
ably it was asked in every other city in the
country, for more than two months have
passed since We Day.
But it won't be asked any more, for we
know now where at least part of the fleet
was yesterday: Helping Admiral Halsey's
Third Fleet to hammer Tokyo.
AS Prime Minister Churchill told the
House of Commons few days after We
Day, the British have hefty accounts to
settle with the japanese. and one may be
sure they will be settled thoroughly
The Britians acutely recall that, while
they were struggling for life under daily
blitzing by the Nazis, the Japs struck tell
ing blows against the British, particularly
in the Singapore area and sent two British
battleships to the bottom.
Englishmen say little about the things
they resent but they never forget, and, in
not forgetting, prepare for the day when
they will at least even the score.
But the score against Japan will be
far more than evened, with the Americans
and the British striking against her at the
same time. The Japs' warships long since
have been driven to cover that is, the ships
that remained afloat after several costly
encounters with the Americans, beginning
at Midway and ending in the waters off the
Philippines.
Since the second battle off the Philip
pines, the remnants of the Jap navy have
been in hiding and has made no further at
tempt to intercept the Americans, so that,
as Admiral Mitscher said, the Jap fleet is
practically non-existent.

SHUTS SAYS NATIONS GET MAD

Field Marshal Jan Christian SHUTS,
Premier of South Africa, says that the
Charter of the United Nations is an advance
on the Covenant of the League of Nations,
because, instead of being built on hope and
goodwill, "it has a solid core of enforce
ment power"
The South African statesman says that
this lis a very dangerous world" and that
nobody knows what "the new growths of
power in the world are going to breed"
When asked by newspaper men who
the enemy might be, now that Germany
was defeated and Japan was on the way
to being conquered, General SHUTS replied
Don't ask who. Nobody knows. 1t may be
one of ourselves. Our civilization is only a
veneer. Nations can get mad, like individ-
uals"
These observations may answer the
questions that come from pacifists and SEN
timentalists who insist that if the nations
prepare for war, that they name their en-
emies in advance. This is impossible but
unless the earth is entering new era, which
we all hope has arrived, the future will
bring new threats to the freedom of peoples
and the possibility of future war cannot be
avoided by intelligent nations.

BRINGING THEM HOME

The magnitude of the task of trans
psFsing American soldiers from Europe is
evidenced in the announcement of the
War Department that four divisions have
Arrived in this country. with advance de-
taehments Of seven other divisions, and that
ihiFty-one divisions will be transported to

While the eleven divisions that moved
homeward first are scheduled to go to the
Pacific theatcr of action. the War Depart
ment points out that the men who will fight
with the divisions will not necessarily be the
same ones who fought with the units in
Europe.

NO INDICATION OF SURRENDER

Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher, one of
our naval leaders in the Pacific, says that
the japanese Navy is virtually eliminated
as fighting unit and the enemy's naval
airpower lis now almost non-existent."
The leader of Task Force SO, however,
warns us not to ''count heavily upon the
enemys surrender. He says that the Japan
csc show no indication of giving up, "even
though they are being burned day after
day by our heavy bombers and by navy
carrier airforces''
The Admiral considers enemy suicide
plane attacks as born of desperation and
joins in the plea of other high-ranking
naval officials that workers make every
effort to speed repairs on battle-damaged
warships.

man who didn't beat around the

Having settled on that course OF

Several steps were taken to
keep the subs at bay. Patrols

Surface and air patrols covered
set areas and were partially eff

Coastal conveys were inaugu-
rated on the Norfolk to Key West
leg on May is, 1912. Ships nee

Air patrols over the Gulf were

Although the subs travelled in
pairs they did not stay too close
together. Officers of the Gulf Sea
Frontier are convinced that they
stayed about rs to 100 miles apart
during the voyage over here and
then took parallel routes while
working the shipping lanes.
Every available aircraft, and
surface vessel, and later blimps,
was pushed to sea in a frantic
and eventually effective effort to
keep the U-boats down.
AS the defense was expanded
the U-boats found that the ter
ritory was too hot. Too many
planes were going overhead. Sur

Air and sea forces knew that a
submarine was in the deep water
off Cape Canaveral. The sub had
been sighted and plotted ap-

ships and planes awere placed in

chase for three or four days.
Eventually the sub would have
to come up. ..
1t finally did-right in the mid
die of a shipping lane and an
armed merchant ship cut loose
with a gun. Eight shots were
fired and the seventh was hit on
the subs coming tower. The sub
submerged.
That same night planes got a
crack at the sub, sections of the
deck grating were recovered at
the scene after the attack.
They believed the sub was at
least badly crippled.
Ten days later, south of the
Isle of Pines, a freighter was tor
lpedoed. After the attack the sub
surfaced. 1t was badly damaged
