CUBANS SEEK
HUN UNDERSEA
BOAT In GULF
Periscope Reported to Have
Been Seen in South
ern Waters.

Is a German submarine operating
in the Gulf of Mexico and using some
Mexican port as its base, besides
O.. being supplied from Mexican coast
wise traders?
These are questions Just now
agitating the people of Porto Rica,
according to a statement made last
night by Flournoy c. Roberts, q
special agent of the immigration
Bureau of the Department of Labor.
Sometime ago. he said. a periscope
was noticed at a secluded spot near
Ponce by some strollers on the beach.
A guard was set to watch for a sub
marine. which is declared to have
come to the surface at frequent in
tervals in the course of this surveil-
lence.
Not long after. a suspicious-ap-
pearing motor schooner was ap-
pretended by a revenue cutter and
towed into San Juan, where she is
now under guard. This vessel flew
the Mexican flag, according to Mr..
Roberts, and she was equipped with
a crew of seventeen men, instead of
the usual requirement of five, be-
sides carrying a goodly supply OF fuel
oil
Mr.. Roberts Is scheduled to hold a
conference today at noon with Food
Administrator Hoover with a view of
devising some plan for ayerting the
threatened strike of sugar Iaborers in
Porto Rica.
Among his other missions to Porto
Rico, Mr.. Roberts will make an effort
TO secure transportation to this
conutry of about 5000 natives OF the
Islands whom he has registered for
railroad construction work in the
Southern States. They seem anxious
10 come here, he says, and their
presence would not affect in any
way the price OF labor in this coun-
try. being more for the purpose of
relieving the labor shortage than any
thing else.
While engaged in this construction
work on the railroads, it has been
planned to permit so per cent of the
laoorers to be drawn for work in the
canefields and on the cotton pIanta-
tions whenever there Is a demand for
such services. and then letting this
hired help return to the railroad
work aSin on completion of their
agricultural Jobs.

Billy's subject was Nathan and

the willingness of God to forgive
and forget the sins of any person
who accepts Him and confesses a
sorrow for sin. The evangelist was in
good humor and he was literally filled
with the old-time pep" He bound
ed up and down the platform and
banged his fists on the floor and on

ing points. His voice was much i'm

of his throat affection.

tor of the First Congregational
Church, made a strong plea for larger
collections. declaring that with tho
revival expense out of the way the
people of Washington will hear
greater preaching by Mr.. Sunday"
DR.. Gordon paid high tribute TO the
evangelist. He classed Billy. from the
standpoint of popularity. with Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William Jennings
Bryan. He declared the evangelist re-
sponsible more than any other one
man in America" for the wave of
sobriety that is sweeping over the
country"
DR.. Gordon urged zone dollar
