UNREST IN CUBA

Should Trouble Break, Eng

GERMANY MAY RELEASE
YARROEDALE prisoners
Bv CARL H. GROAT.

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE sinis-
ter hand of German influence was
seen today in Cuban and Mexican
troubles,
As officials viewed troubles to the
south OF this nation It appeared more
than likely that Germany was stirring
up trouble there to keep the United
States engaged in nearer home af-
fairs so she would pay less attention
TO German misdeeds on the ocean.
Evident German pressure on Cen
cral Carranza had already had the
effect of forcing British consideration
of landing troops at Tampico to pro-
tect the oil wells supplying Bnglands
big navy according to intimations in
diplomatic quarters.
As for Cuba, the situation may be-
come such that American interfer-
ence will be necessary, though as the
revolution there stands now interven-
tion is not yet required.
Border activities, with unofficial re-
ports Of killing Of three Americans.
served TO accentuate the Mexican
problem 1t is known that the War
Department is keeping an extra care
ful watch on the boundary, for fear
that trouble involving the United
States will again break out.
In connection with the Mexican
problem. Il was recalled today that
a German embassy agent was in close
and almost constant touch with the
Mexican-American peace commission
when it sat at Atlantic City.
And it is known. too, that some OF
General Carranza's followers have
felt that German and japanese sup
port were with the constitutionalist
government.
While Cabinet members have ex-
pressed doubt that Great Britain will
land troops to protect British oil in
terests at Tampico, Il is more than
a certainty that England will not
look idly on, if Carranza carries out
any plan OF stopping her rich oil
supplies from going forward from
Tampico.
In these circumstances, # will be
up to the United States to take a
hand. or else England will undoubted-
ly do the task herself The possi-
bility Of such foreign interference in
the new world constituted a source Of
perplexity here.
There can be no mistaking that
Government officials here feel that
Germany is behind General Car
ranza's recent anti-ally activity. and
while they do not take his embargo
suggestions seriously, they do fear for
what he might stir up in favor of
Germany and against both the United
States and the entente allies.
AS for Cuba, the State Department
is receiving reports OF the revolution.
but thus far is keeping them for the
most part under cover, along with
discussion as to policy.
While these big international possi-
bilities shape themselves to the south

tion still the question OF Germany's
detention of the Yarrowdale prison.
