GERMANS BACK
 OE CUBAN REVOLT SEEKING \ SUBMARINE BASE British Officials Assert Germany Is Backing Gomez-Papers Found on German Officer Bear Out Belief Story Sent Out From London.
SEEKING \ SUBMARINE BASE

LONDON, Feb. 15.-Officials here are deeply interested in the Cuban troubles and express the belief that the Germans are behind the recently inaugurated revolt, seeking, in the event of the success of Gen. Gomez, whom they are thought to be back ing, a submarine base in Cuba. This is bourne out by the fact that Capt Bohm, a German officer taken off the Dutch steamer Zeelandia at Falmouth recently bore with charts of Santa Lucia bay, Cuba, and also papers showing that the Germans had secur- ed large oil interests in Mexico from which to draw their fuel supplies for the undersea craft. This intention on the part of Germany to secure sub marine base on the western Atlantic coast has long been suspected by the British foreign office. and the papers found on Capt. Bohm make the susp!- cion a practical certainty.

COMMENT FROM
 GERMAN PRESS

SEATTLE GERMAN PRESS: Tho not at stake. The pro-British press and eastern manufacturers do not re- fleet the sentiment of the people. Tho people do not want war: they want peace. because they realize that ac- tive participation in this conflict for obvious reasons is impossible. Besides there is no necessity for it. No nation has the duty to protect foolhardy ad- venturers who insist in presenting themselves as targets to the German bullets. And that is what American citizens are doing who enter the tarred zone.
