Expect Jap To Join Axis Nations In War All Mers II Save As Registrars Rumors Heard End Of Sino-Japanese War Will Be Seen In Near Fu- ture <Br AuaditM PrtM) LONDON, Oct. s.— Sensational developments were shaping up in the Wars of Europe and the Far-east today which indicated/ t • j according to information being passed around in this city this morning, that Japan would soon join Germany and Italy by ac- tively engaging in war man-, euvers against Great Britain. The startling news, first men- tioned by a high and authorita- tive source here, and spread sub- sequent throughout diplomatic circles, has it that the Japanese have been promised a free reign and control of all Far-eastern nations in return for active par- ticipation in the war. The person who started the rumor, said to be of unquestioned character and described as neither English or Chinese, started it all by declaring moves are now in progress to bring mediation of the Sino-Japanese war and an end of all hostilities in China. Then, it was predicted, the Japs would either send direct help to the axis-powers in Eu- rope or would act to harrass the British at every point in the Asiatic sector. These predictions, taken with extreme seriousness here, have been interpreted as an outcome of the recent diplomatic confer- ences held in Berlin and Rome, with Japanese officials sitting in following signing of the tri- nation military pacts of pledged assistance. The new triple-axis, it appears, from these predictions, is mov- ing towards a supreme effort to crack the British Empire at every point of its existence, with later plans to end it all with a mighty battle to the finish against England itself. It is thought that, following reorgan- ization of all fighting forces with the Nazis in command, that all three partners will strike simul- taneously with the strongest means available. In the meantime, the war of the air over England and Nazi- controlled lands continue. Groups of Nazi bombers have been smashing away at English de- fenses all day long today, fol- lowing night-long attacks which brought additional destruction to property and mounting casual- ties. The British air campaign against Germany was stepped up to still greater heights, however, and widespread bomb attacks were reported along the English channel at several French points. Railroad lines into Cherbourg wrere said to have suffered heavy damage, creating havoc to the German supply lines for that main port of France. Reorganization of the Royal Air Force was being consum- mated today, bringing control of the attack and defending units under younger command. Battles today over England re- sulted in the downing of 20 Nazi planes and loss of four British- ers, reports stated. Selective Service Regis- tration Board Com- pletes Plans For Octo- ber 16 Members of the Monroe Coun- ty Selective Service Registration Board, Ross C. Sawyer, chairman, Melvin E. Russell and John Eng- land, perfected tentative plans for the registration to be held here on October 18th. at the meeting held yesterday after- noon at the courthouse. The Governor’s proclamation, declaring October 16 a school holiday, was recognized. and preparations were made to hold the registration in all schools of the county. This will include four buildings in Key West and three on the keys. “All male persons who have had their 21st birthday by Octo- ber 16 and have not reached their 36th birthday, are required to register, regardless of family status or whether citizens or •herw”, is the edict of the Board in line with provisions of the Federal act. All principals of the schools were named chief registrars for Registration Day and every teacher in all schools will act as assistant regitrars. All registrants will report to any school they chose—though colored males have been re- quested to report to Douglass school. The duties of the Board will be completed on October 17 fol- lowing sending forward of the register forms to State head- quarters in St. Augustine. A permanent Draft Board will then be named to handle all classifica- tion work, it was explained. „ ‘FIRST IN THE HEARTS OF HIS COUNTRYMEN’ 1 : ‘ r.i <Bt AMnriatrd Pr) HELENA, Mont., Oct. 5. —lt must be patriotism.

REUBEN JAMES, destroyer formerly stationed here with the Key West Patrol, re- turned to this citv this morning, arriving at 8:00 o’clock, to join the other vessels of the newly- organized Key West-West Gulf Patrol. The REUBEN JAMES is under command of Lt. Heywood L. Ed- wards, U.S.N. Capt. A. S. Carpcnder, U.S.N., commander of the patrol, stated that the U.S.S.

JUST WHAT THE U.S. ARMY IS UP TO, THE • ••• Recent Order Exact Opposite Procedure Of World'War ARMY ISN'T TELUNG ANYONE THESE DAYS RITES TOMORROW FOR MRS. VALDEZ Funeral services for Mrs. Juana Valdez. 71, who died last night at her residence, 826 Si- monton street, will be held to- morrow' afternoon at 5:00 o’clock from the home. Rev. G. Perez, of the Latin M. E. Church, will officiate. Surviving Mrs. Valdez is her husband. Alfredo. Pritchard Fun- eral Home is in charge of ar- rangements. WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Just what the army is up to, the army isn’t telling these days. But it certainly has reversed itself by going in for voluntary enlistments in a big way in the face of the impending draft. The recent order making it pos- sible for young men to enlist for one year and making those en- listments count on selective serv- ice quotas, is exactly opposite to what the army did in the World war. Then it suspended entirely the privilege of voluntary enlist- ment. * Although it’s off-the-record talk, some army officials already have said that the result will be that in many districts, not a sin- gle young man will be called on the first call and possibly in some not in the first quota. A quick survey of the figures will explain why this is a cer- tainty. The first quota, between No- vember and January, is 400,000 men. This means approximately one-fortieth of total estimated number of registrants from 21 to 35 years old. In other words, if one young man in your neighborhood en- Hr JACK NTIJiXETT, AP Feature Nenlre Writer lists. that eliminates 40 from the first quota, and more than one in 200 from the first call due within a few weeks after registration. Change Of Opinion The army issued its recent or- der without explanation. The order not only represents an about face from World war draft theories but also a reversal of opinions given before congres- sional committees during hear- ings on the selective service bill, when army officials told con- gressmen that voluntarily enlist- ments of an army of nearly a million men. What has happened, however, is just what the men behind se- lective service anticipated. Once the “threat” of a draft measure became a reality, voluntary en- listments jumped sky high. In New York City, police had to be called out to keep the would-be soldiers in line and prevent their snarling traffic around recruiting stations. The applicants went through at the rate of 100 an hour. New York is not a typical city by any means, but if every young man applying for enlistment were found to be physically, (Continued On Page Four) SThc SCrtj Ulrat tt THE SOUTHERNMOST NEWSPAPER IN THE U.

PAUL SMITH FIRM NAMED LOW BIDDER KWHA DIRECTORS SEND RECOMMENDATION TO NA- TION'S CAPITAL; FOUR AL TERNATES DEDUCTED Paul H. Smith Company, of Miami, has received the favorable nod from the Key West Housing Authority in recommendations being sent to the United States Housing Authority at Washing- ton, D. C. Following the meeting of the local Authority members yester- day afternoon, the bid of the Smith Company, after determin- ed deductions had been made, in- cluding four consruction alter- nates. was found to be the low- est at $579,004 or $1290 lower than the American Contractors Com- pany’s bid ox $580,294. The C. J. Trevail Company's base bid for the two projects w'as $650,094, and with the four construction alternates deducted, the total amount is nearly $40.- 000 higher than the two bids mentioned above. The local Housing Authority does not state just when corob- oration of their recommendation will come forward, nor whether it will be accepted by the U.S.H.A. It is thought, however, that within the next two or three weeks the status of the housing projects for this city will be such as to expect actual work to get started.

Oct. 5. Greater benefit to the state of Florida, principal beneficiary, from the $23,000,000 estate of the late John Ringling will be asked at Sarasota circuit court hear- ing October 14. The state and federal govern- ments seek removal of John Ringling North, nephew of the late circus magnate, and his mother as coTadministrators of the estate, and appointment of a receiver. Attorney General George Couper Gibbs was unsuccessful a year ago when he tried, on be- half of the state, to secure a court order requiring North to post $300,000 bond as administrator. The estate includes the vast Ringling properties and art museum at Sarasota and the cir- cus established by John Ringling and his brothers. Water Flows Uphill— With Help Of Cable (By Assoeiated Prena) HORSHOE NECK. N. C.. Oct. s.—You can't lead a Horshoe Necker to water. Long ago he worked out a plan to bring the water to him. Houses in Horshoe Neck are built on high ridges. First set- tlers toiled many a back-breaking step with water from the springs in the valley until, 50 years ago. an unsung genius rigged up the first water carrier. From the ridge to the springs runs a cable on which there is a bucket. Gravity lowers the bucket a quarter of a mile to the water, where a weight causes it to sink to the bottom. Above, the drawer turns a wheel and the bucket returns. Every village house is so equipped. ROSH HASHONO RITES CONCLUDED LOCAL SYNAGOGUE OBSERV- ANCE OF NEW YEAR HELD FOR TWO DAYS Rosh Hashono, the Jewish New Year, was observed in Key West for the past two days, with serv- ices. morning and evenings, at B’Nai Zion synagogue. Rabbi Lazarus Lehrer offi- ciated at the services and Rabbi Z. Tabory. Educational Director of the United Hebrew School, of Harrisburg, Pa., delivered two sermons. “The Spirit of God Hovering Over the Deep” and “The Dawn of a New Humanity”. Members of the congregation, I. Appelrouth and G. Kirdhik, participated in the rituals, and president, Joe Pearlman made an appeal for the United Charities. N. Com, a German refugee re- cently arrived from Cuba, also assisted in the services. Tre services marked the begin- ning of the 58th century of crea- tion according to Jewish tradi- tion. Next Friday, starting at 6:30 o’clock p. m., local jews will observe the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur. The observance lasts for 24-hours. MARKED FOR DEATH GUNTERSVILLE, Ala.

Rumors Heard End OfSino-Japanese War WillBe Seen In Near Fu-ture
<Br AuaditM PrtM)LONDON, Oct. s.—Sensational
developments were shaping upin the Wars of Europe and the
Far-east today which indicated/t • j
according to information being
passed around in this city thismorning, that Japan would soonjoin Germany and Italy by ac-tively engaging in war man-,euvers against Great Britain.
The startling news, first men-tioned by a high and authorita-tive source here, and spread sub-sequent throughout diplomaticcircles, has it that the Japanesehave been promised a free reignand control of all Far-easternnations in return for active par-ticipation in the war.
The person who started therumor, said to be of unquestionedcharacter and described asneither English or Chinese,started it all by declaring movesare now in progress to bringmediation of the Sino-Japanesewar and an end of all hostilitiesin China. Then, it was predicted,the Japs would either send directhelp to the axis-powers in Eu-rope or would act to harrass theBritish at every point in theAsiatic sector.
These predictions, taken withextreme seriousness here, havebeen interpreted as an outcomeof the recent diplomatic confer-ences held in Berlin and Rome,with Japanese officials sitting infollowing signing of the tri-nation military pacts of pledgedassistance.
The new triple-axis, it appears,from these predictions, is mov-ing towards a supreme effort tocrack the British Empire atevery point of its existence, withlater plans to end it all with amighty battle to the finishagainst England itself. It isthought that, following reorgan-ization of all fighting forces withthe Nazis in command, that allthree partners will strike simul-taneously with the strongestmeans available.
In the meantime, the war ofthe air over England and Nazi-controlled lands continue. Groupsof Nazi bombers have beensmashing away at English de-fenses all day long today, fol-lowing night-long attacks whichbrought additional destruction toproperty and mounting casual-ties.
The British air campaignagainst Germany was stepped upto still greater heights, however,and widespread bomb attackswere reported along the Englishchannel at several French points.Railroad lines into Cherbourgwrere said to have suffered heavydamage, creating havoc to theGerman supply lines for thatmain port of France.
Reorganization of the RoyalAir Force was being consum-mated today, bringing control ofthe attack and defending unitsunder younger command.
Battles today over England re-sulted in the downing of 20 Naziplanes and loss of four British-ers, reports stated.

Following the meeting of thelocal Authority members yester-day afternoon, the bid of theSmith Company, after determin-ed deductions had been made, in-cluding four consruction alter-nates. was found to be the low-est at $579,004 or $1290 lower thanthe American Contractors Com-pany’s bid ox $580,294.
