AN ATLANTIC PORT, October IL
Associated Press)-Passengers arriv-
ing here from Havana related how
large bodies Of armed Americans are
guarding what is believed to be the
largest sugar crop Cuba ever has grown.
The Americans are eneamped at
strategieal points so that they can pro.
tect the sugar crop in case Of trouble.
While the entire island apparently is
now enjoying peace and tranquility
and is looking forward TO it's most pros.
porous era, small band of rebels could
cause great damage in the sugar fields
unless promptly crushed by superior
force.
Generally Welcomed
The presence of the armed Americans
is welcomed by all classes, as they are
an assurance for peace, and peace is
what all Cubans want now, excepting a
few politicians, according to those who
arrived today.
Regulation of sugar prices by the
Washington government will not be
necessary after the Cuba crop begins
TO move in December, according to J.
B. Pbelan, a prominent sugar planter
who was among the arrivals. Early in
December the Cuban mills will begin
grinding the biggest suagr crop in the
history of the island.
Greatest Crop IN History
1.-The sugar acreage in Cuba is
greater this season than ever before,
and weather conditions up to this time
have insured an immense crop there, -
Mr.. Pholan said. "Well informed
planters have told me that Cuba s crop
will be ample to take care of the real
requirements of the United States and
the Entente Allies, with never a chance
of a sugar famine in any of these coun.
