HUGE SUGAR PLOT IN CUBA CHARGED
Alleged $10O,000,000 Pool Formed to Profteer Off
 Allies and U. $.

New York, July 24-Details of an alleged plan by wealthy Cubans, act ing with officials of the Cuban gov ernment to form gigantic sugar pool and exact an increase of $100,000,- 900 in the price paid for sugar by the Allies, including the United States, during the war, were contained yes terday in complaint filed in the Su- preme Court in a second suit brought by J. V. Knight against President Mario G. MenocaI of Cuba and Fuse bio S. Azpiazu the latter's private secretary.
 Knight was formerly director of the Republic of Cuba news bureau in New York, and agent here for the de- fendants. His suit is for breach of contract and for an accounting Knight charges that the alleged con spiracy had it's inception early in the present year in Havana and that the defendants and their business and political associates in Cuba and New York were parties to it.
 It is alleged by Knight that his services were sought to induce Louis jana sugar planters to join in thf prof1teering combination by which I was expected to control almost A. 000,000 tons of cane sugar, consti tuting the worlds available supply | Cablegrams and correspondence relat- ing to the alleged combination are | cited.
 That the scheme met with only | partial success Is said by Knights tC | be due to the refusal of the Louis | jana planters to deal with the de l fendants. Knight expresses the con viction that the proposal was con trary to the interests of the Unitet | States.
 When Knight returned from Cub;
 in May he says he turned his of1c, records over to the bureau of investi l gation of the Department of Justice This led, he asserts, to his discharg
 in a cablegram from Havana. H
 says his discharge was in violation 0 l his contract with the defendants
 Knight asserts that the efforts d profteering on sugar are ct presen
 confined solely to Cuban territory.

ARMY RELATIVES
 NO BAR TO NURSES
Statement Issued by Red Cross to Remove Mis-
 understanding.

New York, July 24.-The Atlantic Division of the Red Cross took occa- sion yesterday to set at rest erron- eous reports that women having near relatives serving in the army or navy abroad may not themselves go to France as military nurses. The only prohibition against women serving in France the Red Cross announcement explained, concerns those who, hay ing relatives in the armys or navy, are themselves engaged in special ser vice and not under direct military control.
 "The nursing bureau has learned" the statement said, that many nurses who are anxious to serve with the Ar my Nurse Corps have not made appli- cation for enrolment through the de- partment of nursing of the Red Cross | because of the prevailing idea that they are barred from service because they have brothers or other near rela- tives serving in France. The Red Cross wishes to make clear that all of these nurses are eligible for enrolment and that they are eligible to serve abroad in the Army Nurse Corps.'
 The Bronx County Chapter of the Red Cross issued an appeal yesterday to Bronx women to enroll with the chapter and take a free course in home care for the sick An appeal also was issued for women between the ages of 25 and 35 who have taken the Red Cross course in elementary hygiene as well as home care for the sick to register immediately with the chapter, at 161st street and Third av- enue.
 Those who can speak French, even though they may not have had hospi- tai experience, it was explained, may be sent to France verS soon. The classes now being formed, it was stat ed, are for the purpose of teaching women who may be used at home, SC that nurses competent to serve abroad may be released for that work wher they are needed.
 The home service section of the New York County Chapter of the Red Cros:
 has established headquarters at the
 Grand Central Palace, where it i:

 and bureaus of registration, stenog

EXCITING TASK
 GIVEN TO AIRMEN
 DROPPING BOMBS

Behind British Lines in France, July 2S-Correspondence of The Associat- ed Press)-One of the most exciting tasks to which airmen are assigned is what is known as "desultory bombing" over one spot for an hour or more. The object is to distract the attention of the anti-aircraft defenders of a given district, and a machine carrying dozen or more bombs is employed for the work.
 At first the airmen, a pilot and an observer, approach their target cau- tiously. With engines throttled down, the craft glides nearer and nearer. Below all is quiet No German searchlights are sweeping the sky. When the attackers are almost over their objective a rocket rises toward them and bursts into a cluster of red stars. The machine has been discov- cred At once six or seven search lights throw their beams aloft. The pilot looks at his watch; it is time to begin his desultory bombing.
 He flies steadily on. although a bar rage of bursting shells lies now ir | front of him. The observer looks through the wires of his bomb-sight to the ground below. At the proper instant he thrusts his lever forward and releases two bombs. A few sec onds later he sees the flash of theil explosions, and above the cracking barrage, he can hear two dull roars He signals to the pilot and the ma chine turns and sweeps away from th' fiery ring of shells and searchlishts.
 A few miles away the airplane fife to and fro at top speed. The puzzled searchlights vainly feel the sky in al directions and then, one by one, ar switched off.
 Then the pilot quickly moved agail toward the target. Another bomb i dropped. As it explodes the search lights reappear and the barrage Is re newed while through the thickl grouped shell bursts are threaded tn chains of green flaming globes, s much used by the Germans.
 Again the machine flies away an soldiers below, the observer fires
 white Verey light which slowly drift below and fades out. All the search lights follow it until it dies.
 Repeatedly the airmen return to tn attack. Bombs are dropped at inter vals until the end of the hour whe , the machine departs, f1ickering fire and clouds of smoke telling of tn , havoc wrought by the bombs.

American Officer
 Predicts Victory

Headquarters of the Italian Army, July 24-(Correspondence of The As sociated Press) of the AL lies is a certainty in my opinion, and am sure the American army will be the one to deal the knockout blow, said to the correspondent of The As sociated Press, Major General Eben Swift, last year in charge of Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, and now commanding the American military mission to Italy.
 T tell you we will win so soon as we get enough men over here and these men get hold of the fighting ideas peculiar to this war, as they are rapidly doing now through associa- tion with the French, English, and Italian troops"
 "I do not believe in bagging. prefer to admit all the claims the enemy makes for himself. But giving all the credit due the Germans for their gains, I maintain we are going to smash them. I know the Ameri- can man, what kind of a soldier he makes, and I insist that he is going to turn out a most formidable fighter. standing comparison with any soldier in Europe. I have visited the armies of men they have, and I am sure we are going to be proud of our soldiers when they have had the advantage of learning frem our Allies and at the same time doing some fighting with

FRANCE HAS BILL FOR PUN|SH HMENT
 OF ARMY CHIEFS
Officers of Rank of General Will Be Held For
 Negligence.

Paris, July 24-Drastic punishment will be visited on officers of the rank of general for negligence and non- compliance with orders under new bill which was introduced in the chamber of deputies yesterday.
 The bill as published, provides that any general commanding force in the presence of the enemy, who, by negligence, noncompliance with regulations or disobedience of orders, fails to accomplish a task assigned to him, or who loses or jeopardizes troops entrusted to him, or those he is charged to support or who loses a position he is ordered to defend, may be punished by dismissal from the army and imprisonment for from two to five years, if the fault is inexcusa- : ble. A reduction in rank also is pro- vided for.
 Accused generals have the right to apeal their cases to the court of cas- sation.

the enemy himself. The Germans are not fools and I believe they al- ready fear us.
 One of the big factors in making our army great is that of discipline. The men commanding our army are said to be merciless in matters af- fecting discipline, in questions of put ting the right officer, in the right place, of eliminating favoritism and unfit men, and this is as it should be. By merciless discipline, however, I do not mean i'll treatment of soldiers or anybody.
 This army of ours that we are building up wiM lead to the final de- feat of the Germans for somewhat the same reasons, perhaps, that Napoleon was defeated in Europe after fifteen years of victory or that the Confed- crate army was defeated in our Civil War. Time is working in favor of the Allies The Germans have not sue ceeded in obtaining any overwhelming decision in this war, and the day will come when the Allies. backed up by the great American man power, will themselves demand and obtain the decision that we call victory. I do, not believe in paying compliments to ourselves or our Allies, unless deserv- ed. but this is the situation as I see it in its purely military aspect"
