Several radical Cuban newspapers,

Do NOT LEAN UPON OTHERS

Power is the goal of every worthy

Nothing else so destroys the power

The man who tries to give his chill

chance to feel his way around care
fully and become adjusted to the new
functions. 1t was up to him to act
quickly toward shutting off a great act
of probable lawlessness in Cuba and
to smooth out diplomatic entangle-
ments between this country and Mex
leo.
In the first place. the threatened re
lease of all political and other prison
ers from the jails throughout Cuba
was a matter of the gravest moment.
1t had deep significance for the United
States
This liberation Of countless maIefac-
tors. including even murderers of the
worst type, would have prevented the
Menocal administration. which sup
plants that of President Jose Gomez
on May 20, from prosecuting the graft
ers who are charged with having loot
ed the official treasury Of Cuba. This
would entirely destroy the credit of
the Cuban republic. since means Of
guaranteeing Cuban loans have been
largely impaired by the want0n ex-
! cesses of political erafters. In turn

rectly responsible for the credit of the
island republic through having a de

ty on the part Of American officials in
Mexico and the charges of conspiracy

ward bringing about the recent revo-

President Wilson, a complete investi-
CATION of Mexican affairs, signifying
that he intended to probe to the very
bottom all the causes Of the revolt,
all the actions of American officials
md all the reports relating to Ameri-
can capitalists in Mexico.
Principal among the early charges
against Ambassador Wilson were the
assertions that he had openly douted
the Madero government, fostered the
Diaz uprising and finally had approx
ed the act of Huerta in removing Ma
! dero from Office and had asked that
! recognition be given the provisional
president with undue and positively
indecent haste.
Ambassador Wilson denies the charge
and asserts he could not avoid recog

only constituted authority.

Some of the piles in use in Amster-

part which is not in the ground is
often bored by pile worm near the
surface, but is preserved by driving
in nails with very large heads, so as
to give the pile an iron coating. This
coating is then transformed by the
water into a layer of rust. which pro-
tects the wood from the pile worm.
