PATRIOTISM ACID TEST IN CHOOSING
 BiSBEE OFFICIALS

Continued from Page on0 or energy to other governmental agencies such as the food admin stra- ton. These are absolute facts. based on records in the hands of the Liberty bond executive cOmmittee-an they are facts which will not be forgotten when time comes for another Liberty loan.
 Facts on the other side. briefly, are these: the six candidates for aldermen on the Citizens non-partisan ticket have purchased s21, 750 worth of Liberty bonds in the three leans. Every one of them is working day and night for the benefit of the govern ment. Their names may be seen on any one of a dozen patriotic commit tees. including the Liberty bonds, war stamps and Red Cross.
 Patriotism Is Issue
 Here are the facts to be weighed in the balance which citizens of Bis bee shall decided Monday. Men an ! women who are purchasing bonds and stamps and giving of their money to the Red Cross and the government. are asked to vote for one or another Of two tickets. The one fiys 9 false flag of patriotism and duty 3nG cit izenship. The other by it's deeds and actions establishes it's unbounding an1 absolute patriotism.
 Men and women who are giving up the necessities of life to assist the government in winning the war will vote in this election. They are citi- zens of Bisbee who realize the i'm portance of winning the war; who know what patriotism is because they are intensely patriotic.
 They are offered two selections the one selfish, self-centered. slackers, the other patriotic citizens.
 This is the issue they shall decide patriotism.

 Good citizens of this district may be relied on to see the camoufase in the pie-counteF ticket.

BREAK WITH CUBA
 BY MEXICO GIVES
 FORMER FREE HAND

Continued from Page One) searched his baggage and probably removed some papers said tO be of an international character.
 Fabeia Caused Trouble
 This incident is believed here to be the real cause of the break, and those who entertain this belief are firm in the conviction that Mexico was convinced that the United States was responsible for the incident.
 When Senor Fabela's luggage was searched it was maintained by some that the person who did it was not a Cuban official at all, but some other agent in the disguise of a Cuban inspector or gendarme. Later, how ever, it seemed to have been satis- factorily established that the man really was Cuban inspector.
 A break between Cuba and Mexico, it is felt, disrupts practically nothing but a long standing friendly relation. In the opinion of those in close touch with the subject it may actually give Cuba free hand. as the Mexican for eisn minister says in his announce ment, but perhaps not in the manner suggested.
 Report Huns Active
 American agents for some time have been reporting German agents oper- ating in Cuba, some Of them crossing frequently to the United States as Cuban citizens or Mexican citizens. A severance of diplomatic relations probably would leave the Cuban gov ernment feeeling more at liberty to investigate their activities.
 When first class powers are con- cerned, a break in diplomatic rela- tions inevitably has been followed by war. Between lesser powers this rule often fails to hold good.
 HAVANA, May 25.-The exact situ- ation with reference to the diplomatic relations between the Cuban and Mex ican republics is difficult to define in view of the wide divergence of inter- pretations placed upon the departure of the Mexican charge d affaires from Havana who, before sailing, paid a courteous and friendly visit 10 Pres ident Menocal.
 Apparently his departure had no more significance than that of any other diplomat returning home to make a report to his government. That the Cuban charge in Mexico has been recalled recently is merely coinci- dence and not connected with any question pending with Mexico.
 S1b-secretary Of State Patterson stated to the press that the reports that the diplomatic relations have been broken of weer groundless and showed a dispatch from the Cuban charge in Mexico, Senor Santamaria, stating that the latter had been in formed by the Mexican prime minister of foreign relations that the recall of the Mexican charge does not consti- ute a rupture of diplomatic relations.
