within a nation the’ suffering ‘seems ac- centuated by the apparent uselessness of the strife. Dr. Norman Bethune, of Coen a doctor, saw Malaga, Spain, evacuated by 150,000 people just before the rebel army of Gen. Franco captured the city. ‘| more than one hundred miles away . no food in the villages, no’ trails; no busses . . . they staggered and stumbled, feet cut and bruised, while Insurgents bombed them from the air and the sea. “We counted 5000 under 10... a thousand barefooted .-. . many clad ip single garments . . . so many distressed cases we turned back to carry the worse cases to safety . . . difficult to choose as | i 6. for entertainments by a from which Frevenue is to be deri Cittzen ay eras 60k invites “discus. and of local or general ‘but it Will not publish anonymous communi- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WILL alway» seek the truth and print it without fear and without favor; never be efratd te sctack wrong or to applaud right; sways fight for progress; never be the or gem oF the mouthpiece of any person, clique, Se marae te Se ever vem ae tag Preeti decir ‘oan aca 4) opimens; © ehcp awed } ie ae 3} Mever com» | promise with principle, fathers and mothers who, with tired, out- stretched arms, held up to us their chil /} dren with their faces swollen and con gested by four days of sun and dust. “How; could we choose? .. . many old people gave us, laid down to wait for death . decided to take only children and mothers but seperation of familie was too cruel to bear ... reached Al | meria, filled with refugees, streets where | refugees slept, huddled together so close- 1 ly an automobile could pass only with dif- ficulty. . .. “German and Italian planes dropped = IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ten bombs in tenter of town . . . picked | ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN || up three dead children from the pave- _-— ment where they had been standing in 1, Water ang Sewerage. line waiting for a cup of preserved milk 2 Bridves to complete Road to Main and a handful of dry bread, the only food lund. some of them had for days . . . the streets B Free Port. were a shambles of dead and dying . . .

You can imagine for yourself what another great war means to women and children behind the front, as well as what will happen to the nobility of man when his war machine reeks with the blood of women and children. No wonder men and women of the world hate war and wish to do anything to prevent it, even to the extent of abolish- ing armies and navies and trusting to some other means of securing peace. Sad as the picture is yet it can be matched by one more ruthless, where a modern -na- tion, armed to the teeth, invaded im- potent African tribesmen in their homey and gave them a taste of the destruction that civilization uses on those who resist “progress.” Thin ice is avoided by people who want to live.
