CARRANzA,s BREAK WITH CUBA

From the New York World.
 About the reasons for Mexico's sev- erance of relations with Cuba therc is shroud of mystery. The Mexican governments statement. on it's face, is not even plausible, It's honeyed phrases about the desire to maintain unbroken the fraternal sentiments of solidarity with Cuba and all the Latin-American countries, neither explain nor excuse the in it's nature is unfriendly is rendered the more suspicious by the equivocal language employed by General Aguilar, minister of foreign affairs. Mexico is made to challenge it's own good faith.
 As the ally of Cuba and the neigh Dor of Mexico. the United States is i'm mediately concerned where differences arise between those two nations. It cannot look with indifference upon a situation that may lead to more serious discord. It has had much experience with Carranza. whose weaknesses of temper and dictatorial manners have frequently landed him in critical post tions.
 If there are influences at work in Mexico that seek to promote trouble with either Cuba or the United States the sources from which they draw in spiration may be readily located Rv lending himself to pro-German in trigues Carranza can render his coun- try no good service. He will only re- duce Mexico to a condition of isolation in the western hemisphere, where the course of the United States and the allies has received the open and sym pathetic support of most of the Latin American republics

< X x Patriotism Reflected In Red Cross Fund

MM HEN final figures on the sec WV ond Red Cross war fund are received at national headquarters the total will exceed s15O,0OO, ,OO0-more than $50,000,000 above the sum asked for.
 Few county units failed to raise their quota, while a majority went beyond their allotments; many of them, like Jefferson county, far be- yond, which easily accounts for the large oversubscription of the nation.
 Contributions are still being re- ceived at various local headquarters and it will probably be week yet before the country's total is ascer- tained.
 Jefferson county's quota was $780, 900, but up to last night the tabula- ton of contributions showed $434, ,0OO. The quota of Nashville, including Davidson county, was $150,000, but the contributions amounted to nearly $376,000. The quota of Memphis and Shelby county combined was S1S5, ,0O0, but they did better than that by s82,O
 Such splendid achievements reflect not only a fine spirit of philanthropy but strong sentiment of patriotism that must serve as distinct inspira- tion for all future war activities.

NORTHEAST OF VERDUN, Nov. IS.
tBy the Associated Press. 1.-Two 16-incn
cannon turned over to the Americans
at Spincourt Saturday were guns used
by the Germans to shell the Verdun

The entrance of the Americans into

most spectacular features of the Ameri-

the American plans had been commune

were expected at 10 O'Clock but did not
arrive until 2 in the afternoon be-
cause of roads which had been shat

the guns were all In good condition.
The ~lieutenants were accompanied by
an infantry sergeant and -four privates.
Lieut.. Gruner, the sergeant. and one
private went ahead In al automobile
carrying n white flag. Lieut.. Nicolson
and the other privates followed.
Upon reaching the outskirts of Spin
court they were met by a lone Ger
