CUBAN HISTORY IN BRIEF

Spain colonized the island in 1911.
In 1884 and again in 1854 Havana was
destroyed by the French.
MatanZas was he first city to fall
into the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and injustice to the natives
has always been the creed of the Span
iards.
The present revolution began Feb
ruary "a, 1895, when the republic was
proclaimed by Marti.
In 1648 President Polk offered Spain
$l,000,0O0 for the island, which offer
was refused.
The revolution of 1868 lasted ten
years before Spain succeeded in com.
promising by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union, having g
single star and five stripes, three Of
red and two of white, is the flag of the
republic.
Very little reliable news of the pres
emit insurrection can be obtained. owing
to the censorship of the press and the
mendacity Of the leaders Of both sides
The first serious revolution too
place in 1848 under the ''p o
Narcisco Lopez, who in 1851 repeated
his attempts to tree the island tr, Z

the standpoint OF civilizAtion, is a

problem.
JAPAN'S EASY CUSTOM
Japan is regarded as a most progress
sive country, but divorce there is held
very cheaply, not by the intelligent,
upper classes, but by the masses.
There are seven causes, according to
Confucius, for which a man may di-
vorce his wife. They ara disobedience,
the failure to bear children, unchasti-
ty, jealousy. an incurable disease, dis
honesty, and sharp tongue. In other
words, he can get rid of her whenever
he likes and by very simple process.
All be has to do is to write her a letter
declaring that everything is over be-
tween them and advising her to return
to her parents. Such a letter ad-
dressed to her father, or eldest brother if
she has no father, will answer the same
purpose. Then he must 60 to the reg
istrar's office and report himself as q
divorced man.
THE WIFE HANDICAPPED
A wife may get rid of her husband 1t
she desires to do 30, for similar
causes, but she will lose her So
cial position, if she has any, and
is much more likely to be respected
and make a second marriage if she
is the defendant instead of the plain
tiff in the case. This is somewhat of
paradox, but it throws a searchliyht
upon the social system of Japan. What
is required above all from women is
OBEDIENCE. That is the highest of vir
tn 8, and no obedient woman would
ever seek divorce for any cause.
When wife wishes to be divorced
she writes a letter to her husband an
nouncing that fact, packs up her
