Lord Byron’s remark, “I awoke this morning to find myself famous,” was writ- ten in his journal March 1, 1812 and the} day that made him famous was that extra day on every fourth year, February 29th. Curiously enough, this remark of his is} perhaps better remembered today than} the sensational sale of the book which evoked it, “Childe Harold.” the administration another sei)ack when it defeated a bill to exempt from taxation national bank obli- gations held by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Let there be no mistake about that, nor of another fact, which history amply demon- strates, namely, that preparation for war, with its increasing burden of taxation for armament, inevitably leads to an effort to solve the problem by seeking the goal for which the implements of war were forged. At the close of the World War an ef- fort was made to preserve peacé/ % the creation of the League of Nations and the World Court. The effort was baie landi- ' capped from the start, despite théwishes of President Wilson of America, by being linked with the maintenancé*efsthe status quo imposed by the victors ofthat strug- gle upon the vanquished. In the new at- mosphere it was possible at the Washing- ton Conference to limit navies, but within the past few years, at an accelerating speed, nations have begun to prepare ener- getically for “the day.” Far out in front in the responsibility for the new race in armament stands _ the Japanese Empire, controlled by militarists and influenced by the past history of Euro- pear countries which in the older years eften resorted to the sword. More re- cently, Germeay has begun to rearm, un- balancing the equilibrium of the Versailles Treaty. This was to have been expected, ; as many British have realized, for it was impossidle to expect the German nation to forever accept a position of insecurity and humili‘ation. Italy, to a smaller extent, by feverishly building up militafy strength has added to the challenge. The Japanese have seriously affected the naval situation, both Vritain and America being unwilling to acquiesce in Japanese supremacy in the Orient. While the British have pursued a more conciliatory course towards Germany than France they are also determined not to allow German predominance in Europe. The three countries which have caused the most disturbance and alarm, are Japan, Italy and Germany, all of which are ruled by dictatorships, notwithstanding the fact that in Japan the rule is by a group of military officers rather than one man. These three countries are dissatisfied with present world divisions; they want some- thing which other nations may not be will- ing to give voluntarily, hence they prepare strength in order to take advantage of op- portunity. France, Great Britain and Am- erica are at the present time content with what they have, hence these three coun- tries are not threatening aggression. At the same time the three are strengthening their forces on a larger scale than at any- time they were engaged in the World War. In this country Congress is preparing to spend the largest peace-time appropria- | tion for its army and navy. Great Britain, having faced the Italian danger and real- ized a weakness, is preparing to float a large bond issue for the strengthening of France, the century- old rival of Germany, places its trust large- ly in its army and fortified frontier forts. The nations of the world are prepar- ing for war. The peoples of the world might as well consider their courses. Noth- ing will prevent the eventual struggle ex- cept some triumph of the principles rep- resented by the League of Nations and the World Court. In some peaceful way it must be made possible to readjust .the world if war is going to be avoided. The present prospects are that the forces of peace will not be able to muster sufficient strength to prevent another blood-letting. It is more than an even bet that the next tive years will not pass before a first-class war between major powers will be under- way. It is a “cinch” that ten years will a -? KEY WEST AQUARIUM ATTRACTS Outside of New York. and Chicago Key West no doubt has the best and most unu ual city aquarium, in the United States. The island is surrounded by fish of all varie and every known.fish,.,.Jn...those waters is represented in the aquarium. Both the Chicago and New York aquariums send expeditions to Key West annually to} secure fish from the waters near there and they are shipped back north in special tanks in waters stored in the tanks from Key West. The Citizen of that city says latest arrivals in the tanks consist of an octopus and a Portuguese man-o’-war fish. The fish is a beautiful specimen, long and slender with two ventral fins near the head which spread out like wings when the fish is swimming. The. octopus is one of the smaller kind and attaches itself to the side of the tank when resting Timea Hnjonst THE KEY WEST CITIZEN No Way To Treat a Timid Lady LADIES FIRST, (vou BIG LOUT!

Most of the entries had been tried out be- fore and had taken part in excit- ing water events, but there was one boat which was on her maiden race. This was Carl Fisher’s Shad- ow H, one of the finest express cruisers ever put afloat. This ves- sel lost, however, to Paul Prigg’s Chriscraft by five seconds in the ten-mile feature of the regatta. Many notable men in the world ot sport watched the events. In the evening a banquet for the visiting yachtsmen and sports lovers was| held in the dining room of: the Casa Marina. Citizens of Key West have a treat in store for them. At San Carlos theater Wednesday and Saturday there will be heard Mon- sieur Paoli, French opera tenor, and rated one of the best who has ever appeared in America. They will see Miss Georgetta D’Lorza, talented interpreter of the cla ical and modern dances in a rou- tine especially selected for the Key West appearance. These art- ists agreed to stop in Key West for two appearances, only if a competent piano could be secured. After one re- ‘hearsal with Miss Claudina Lucig- nani, they agreed to remain. The Woodrow, which was cap- tured several months ago with a cargo of liquor on board, was auc- tioned off this morning and was purchased by G. Smith for $300. At the time the Woodrow was seized on Stock Island while a load of liquor was being landed, al motor truck with a load of the stuff was also captured on the is- land. Those who attended the sale agree the buyer got a bar- gain. Arriving in port yesterday was the vessel China Girl, designed by John Work, of Long Island, and iled by him from Oyster Bay to Key West. The China Girl was evolved from a Cape Cod catboat and is a fast sailor and “as steady as a church,” says its owner. The Oversea Hotel is being widely complimented upon its pro- gressive move in having a large number of folders printed carry- ing information concerning Key West and the hotel. The folder is a product of The Artman Press, i: artistically arranged and beauti. fully printed. The five-passenger Buick auto- mobile, which was offered as the capital prize at the Firemen’s Car-' nival shows, has been awarded to Master Berl Pinder, son of Chief Ra'ph Pinder of the Fire Depart-/ ment. !
