NOV. CRUDE USE NEARLY
5000, 900 BBLS. DAILY

The actual daily average con-
sumption of domestic crude petrole-
UNI in November, 1914, was 4,749,-
600 barrels and was supplied by a
production of 4,747 900 barrels daily
and a stock withdrawal of 1000 bar
rels daily. Preliminary figures avail
able for December indicate an ap-
proximate demand of 4,730000
barrels daily that involved a stock
reduction of about 10000 daily.
Current data for January, 1915, in
dictate a probable demand for do
nestle crude petroleum of about A.
10000 barrels daily, compared with
the forecast of Abs, 700 barrels
daily for that month

MOSCOW, Aug. 13. -
Soviet forces continue to ad-
vance rapidly in Manchuria
and Korea in attempts to
cut in two the one and one
half million Jap troops in
those two Japanese depend
encies.
Today's communique also
said that Russian forces have
made gains averaging 80
miles in Sakhalin, which
points like an accusing finger
to Hokkaido, the northern
most island in Japan proper.
The w&r office announced
that the activity of Russian
troops in Korea, Manchuria
and Sakhalin will be contin-
ued till Tokyo announces
formally that the condition
al acceptance made by the
Allies has been agreed to by
the Japanese government.

LIEUT.. R. REARDON

Lieutenant Robert Reordan,

Lieutenant Reordan was. with
the Tenth 3 Armored Division

THE commander of the German
division whom we captured said
they were nveer able to find u.s.
Reordan explained. I'VE could
we'll believe that because ir

we were operating in the German
rear areas most of the time and
once got so far ahead of our sup.
plies that we had to get them by

VETERANS UNIT
CONTRACTS FOR
HOSPITAL BEDS

Al Mills, district commander of
the American Legion and first
vice commander of the Legion
nalreS in Florida, Saturday after
noon received a telegram from
Representative Pat Cannon, in
which it was stated that the Vet
Grams Administration had signed
a contract for rs beds in the Key
West General Hospital for veter
ans who may become i'll in this
area.
Mr.. Mills explained that the
contract, before it goes into
effect, must be approved by the
board of directors of the hospital.
He said further that, should the
beds be assigned to the admins
tration for the compensation pro-
vlded for in the contract, any
veteran may receive medical
treatment in the hospital free of
cost, as is at present. the case at
the Veterans Hospital in Bay
Pines, Florida.

JOBS OPEN TO
MOST EVERYBODY

Nearly everyone in Monroe
county who wants to work has
d job, according to figures released
by Carl 3. Smith, Chairman Of the
State Industrial Commission.
Unemployment compensation
records show that no one in Mon
roc county received payment dur
ing the week Of July 30 to August
4. Payments are made to covered
workers, out of employment
through no fault of their own, who
have applied for but have been
unable to find suitable work,
Smith said.
Payments totaling $24,182 were
made during the week to 1891
covered and qualified unemployed
persons-577 males and 1,0l4 fe-
males in IS of Florida's 81 coun-
ties.
Chairman Smith said that sea-
sonal shutdownS and changes in
war plant contracts are largely re-
sponsible for the increase in un-
employment this summer.

NATIONAL WAR
FUND USED FOR
MANY PROJECTS
PRESIDENT OF RIDA
DIVISION MAKES SURVEY
OF WORK BEING CARRIED

| ORLANDO, Aug. 13.-FNS).
Walter L. Hays, president of the
Florida Division of the National
War Fund, stated here this week
that survey indicated that many
people have little knowledge OF
the wide scope of the work being
carried on by various agencies
supported by the Fund.
Hays pointed out that not only
does the Fund care for the needs
of the USO and USO-Camp
Shows, United Seaman's Service,
War Prisoners Aid and the
American Field Service, all of
which directly serve our fighting
forces at home and abroad, but
in addition it cares for the needs
of II other agencies directly serv-
ing our Allies, including Belgian
War Relief, United China Relief,
American Relief for Czechoslo-
vakia, American Denmark Relief,
American Relief of France, Greek
War Relief, American Relief for
Holland, American Relief for
Italy, United Lithuanian Relief,
Friends of Luxembourg, American
Relief for Norway, Philippine War
Relief, Polish War Relief, Russian
War Relief, United YogoSlav Re-
lief, Refugee Relief Trustees, and
the U. S. Committee for the. care
of European children.
The National War Fund, Hays
explains, came through the need
for united nation wide effort
and single campaign for funds
rather than the costly and annoy
ing practice of permitting each
agency to conduct its own cam
paign with one drive following
on the heels of another, or more
often several being carried on at
the same time with duplicate
cost, waste of effort and public
annoyance.
He points out that the tcrmina-
ton of fighting in Europe has act
ually increased rather than less
ened the work of most of these
agencies, since their work begins
where the combat forces leave off,
and the manner in which they per-
form will have much to do with
the establishment of d just and
lasting peace.
The Florida Division of the Nat
ional War Fund has set up an able
and efficient organization and our
quota can be quickly and easily
met if the public fully under
stands its purpose, the imperative
need it represents and will make
their contributions promptly
when called upon.

JEHOVAH WITNESSES DENIED use
OF SCHOOL HOUSE BEYOND SEPT !

Monroe County School Board,
The Citizen was informed today,
will mail a letter some time this
week to the Jehovah witnesses
informing them that they mist
discontinue holding their Sunday
meetings in the Harris public
school and the Douglas public
school, The board based its de
cision on the following reason:
we arc not averse to permit
ting any denomination from hold
ing an occasional meeting in d
public school house, but the Jeho-
yah witnesses have been conduct
ing their meetings regularly III
the Harris and Douglas schools
for almost a year. -z-- .e.zss
First, we should bear in mind
that the SchoolhouScS were con-
structed by taxpayers money for
the express purpose of insructing
the children Of our community,
also at public expense. and not
as meeting places for any relig-
iouS denomination or sect. Every
other denomination or sect in Key
West has its own meeting place,
provided for by contributions
from their members, and it would
be unfair to those other denom-
nations for the School Board to
provide regular meeting places
for the Jehovah witnesses, or the
people of any other faith.
When the witnesses first came
to us, which was almost d year
ago, they asked for the use of the
Harris and Douglas school for a
short time. We were under the
impression that they had intend
ed to build or rent a meeting
place. and that they wished to use
the schoOlhouses until that time,
which we thought would be brief.
AS their use of the buildings
did not turn out in that way. We
notified the witnesses that they
would not be permitted to use
the schoolhouses longer than June
l, but they asked for an extension,
and we fixed the date on Septem-
Der l. Now there will not be anv
further extension.
THE principal of the Douglas
school informed us that the at
tendance at the witnesses meet
ihgs on Wednesday and Sunday
