AS ENTENTE war. ALLY
CUBA SHOWS PROGRESS
Achievements of Little Republic Being
Brought to Light.

Special Gable to The washington Herald.
Havana, Cuba, April 2s.-Cuba's en-
trance into the great war as an ally the
United States marks the climax to an
uninterrupted series of history-making
events which have been shaping them
selves on the little island for some time.
So fast have things been happening In
Cuba that one who has tried hard to
study the commercial possibilities of the
island has found himself facing such a
multitude of opportunities as to stagger
the imagination.
Cuba has emerged the victor in several
internal wars. Her leaders Of thought
and commerce have steered the country
safely over the shoals and breakers typi-
fed by the three revolutions that the
enemies of Cuba had instighted. The re-
public had hardly finished melting on,
the punishment to the reble leaders IN
the latest insurrection when 1t voluntarily
responded to the call OF the entente and
chose to cast in its lot with the demo-
cratic nations OF the world.
Valuable Ally.
The result has been an awakening on
the part of the other nations in the north
Ia realization of the vast possibilities
for commercial interrelation, trade ex-
pansion and social and political inter-
course.
One need not go back so far in the
history of the island republic to discover
the causes of its rapid forward strides
and its present unprecedented material
prosperity. A. glance over the years pre-
cedlng the administration of President
Menocal and his cabinet, and like sur
yey Of the period which followed that ad-
ministration is convincing indeed, of the
reasons for the country's growth. With
the inauguration of a newer and better
government, there was nothing to check
the expansion of Cuba's resources.
Enormous Commerce.
Independence and the smooth running
machinery of government has made 1t
possible for Cuba to take a deep breath
and develop her trade with the world-a
trade which enables Cuba to say that
more merchandise enters and leaves the
harbor OF Havana than any place in the
United States except New York. The to-
tai foreign commerce Of the republic
amounted to over $40 900 900 last year!
Such, in brief, is the Cuba OF today.
What the future has in store for that lit
tie island can OF ly be conceived by judg-
ing from its present rate of progress. En-
tering as an ally Of the great powers who
are fighting for the worlds freedom, Cuba
has assured herself a position OF respect
and honor which history will be quick to
recognize. The world of today has al
ready recognized It and has said:
Bravo Cuba -
