Gen. Carlos Garcia Velez, Cuban
minister to Washington. has found 1t
necessary to deny very definitely the
numerous and persistent reports which
are being circulated concerning the
danger of another insurrection and an
other intervention. 1t is quite possible
that there are Interior and sinister mo-
tives behind these stories. Anyway
they should be given no credence
among our people. If the little repub-
lie is doing the best that 1t can in the
primary grade of self government, it
should have encouragement.

Dad Burnham, Golf Champeen Front
sloppy, chilly, rainy, muddy Labor
Day, we have victor not of labor but
of play, to celebrate. And you're it..
Cook may have found the pole, but you
have Braden's corroborative evidence
that you have smashed the Norfolk
golf record with a score of 81. Not in
the past 400 years has the Norfolk golf
links-or perhaps it should be have
the Norfolk golf links"-not in 400
years has or have Gas you wild the
Norfolk golf links been circled in Sd.
You slipped away silently upon your
expedition, while the world was at
rest. You chose the same route that
your equipment was different. With
one left handed driver, one left hand
ed brassy, one left handed cleak, one
left handed mashie, one left handed
putter, and new 75-cent ball that Da-
RUS Mathewson brought home from
old New England, you explored the
unknown and found the sportsman's
paradise. You got back alive by TAX
ing a short cut from hole No. 9 to the
clubhouse. We presume a drink at
that point tasted mighty good. The
waters fine, anyway. The worse Bra
den played the better you seemed to
hit the ball. His emphatic language
when he sliced into the river, or
topped or drew or fooled, only drove
you on to greater driving and lofting
and putting, so due credit should be
given to Braden for this Labor Day
event. But to get down to the point
of this speech, please accept this $500
stick pin and this gold mounted brassy
as a token of appreciation from the
siXty-niners.
