This statement is in strong contrast
to the statement of President Menocal
published early IN April, and reported
in previous letter from this Office. In
that statement, the President predicted
that the total output of sugar for this
crop would reach 3,572, $40 tons, in spite
of the fact that the political order of
the country had been so disturbed. At
that time, he did not seem to think
that the economic situation had been
greatly changed, but evidently the re-
ports from Camaguey and Oriente
that he refers to in this revised esti-
mate have made him change his mind.
This new estimate more nearly APP
proaches the revised estimates of the
sugar statistieians of Caba, and al
though we do not want TO be elassed
rs pessmfsts, we are Inclined to be
lievc that even this estimate is TOO
high. '"I. '.#'. s't.sse .'T@f,

TELEPHONE SYSTEM SWAMPED
For an hour after the raid the telephone

from business men who were anxious 10

showed no fear As soon az the explosions

people crowded the streets, verandas,
windows and roofs and showed only con-

EATING HOUSE WRECKED
A correspondent who visited one Of the
bombarded areas, found that the damage
done was comparatively slight and that
majority Of the casualties occurred among
a group gathering for the monday meal
The bomb fell upon the roof Of an eating
house, shatterinE II and causing the wreck
age to take fire. Policemen. fircmen and
special constables who arrived on the scene

The legs Of one man in this group were
shattered below the knees, another's arm
was blown Off as he was raising n cup Of
coffee to his lips, while third was seriously
wounded in the chest by fragments OF the
bomb. The clothing Of some Of the wounded
was torn in shreds and the faces Of nearly
all were purple-hucd from the effects OF
the explosives
For nearly an hour after the explosion at
this place the ambuances were busy carry

gathered anxious to ascertain the identity
of the victims

in a churchyard, digging a hole three feet

LONDON, June Il.


At least four of 449 persons wounded in
the German air raid over East London yes
terday have since died, bringing the death
list today to more than 100.
Search in the wreck o. the demolished
buildings IL still going on and It Is possible
that more bodies will be found.
For pure fendishness OF purpose and in
the ghastly toll of innocent women, chill
dren and old men, Germany's latest aerial
attack was the most murderOus of all the
aerial piracy which England has seen.
New destructive and pain-making mis-
siles were dropped by the invaders. Most
of those injured suffered terribly from acid
fluids contained in many of the bombs. Tiny
children and women wrthed in hospital
beds today from great burns caused by
these murderous missiles.
The buildings damaged were Of an utterly
non-mlitary character. Schoolhouses were
included in those struck. Tiny bodies were
still buried beneath the wreckage today, It
was believed.
The public believes it, aerial patrols and
anti-aircraft guns drove off the Germans
before they could do more killing over the
capital. There was no disposition to
criticize the defensive measures. England
realizes that the only way to stop the Ger
mans entirely would be to Gordon the air
with vast fleet of patrol aeroplanes. Bur
this is exactly what the Germans want.
Withdrawal OF machines from the front
would probably take away Engand's COM
plete aerial supremacy on the western
front blind Field Marshal Haig's eyes"
and perhaps seriously hamper the success
OF his great offensive.
PUBLIC SHOWS FORTITUDE
Because the public realizes this it was
was determined TO bear such losses as
yesterday with fortitude In all the after
math discussion. however, there was the
prayer expressed that America would soon
start q vast aerial fleet overseas. The
sooner American airmen get into action
on the western front the sooner can Ger
msnys air piracy be stopped in the public
view.
American army medical officers, who are
still in London, got their first glimpse Of
warfare when they visited the east end
and other districts. Among these officers
was DR., Hugh H. Young, formerly of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, who is now
a major in the medical officers reserve
corps of the United States army Doctor
Young said II was evident the Germans
were using a form Of fire shell.
FIRE BOMBS USED
"The victims" said Doctor Young were
injured not only by flying. fragments OF
shrapnel, causing deep penetrating wounds
and fractures, but also by severe burns
This indicated that the German airmen
used bombs Of an inccrdiary character
The bombs were about ten inches in dia-
meter and we're thrown from a great

Single Takers Again?

A gentleman was in this city one
day last week circulating a petition
tor some sort of constitutional
amendment that would permit a
homesteader to borrow money of the
state at three per cent rate. The
petition looked innocent enough but
little questioning developed the fact
that the petition was really the old
single tax under another guise. The
petition was skillfully drawn and con-
tanned other provisions but the real
issue is to place the taxes on land
values.

had numerously signed petition
from that city, but he had very poor
luck III Butler. The folks down here
wanted to know all about it before
they put their name to it, which is a
