Regarding the postmaster gener-
ais alleged attitude toward the
Hearst papers, Col. Roosevelt said ::
at is true that since we entered
the war, Mr.. Hearst has at various
times issued editorials protesting
great patriotic zeal. but it was at
the very time when in oriler edit
orials he was attacking the allies o:
America, England and Japan, in the
most offensive way; and at the very
time when he was upholding the
Russian bolsheviki, which had made
Russia traitor to the free nations Of
the world and a subservient ally OF
the German autocracy. Such action
cannot fail to give aid and comfort
to Germany.

SOUND WAR FINANCE.

The banks, lately pessimistic, have
taken on a more cheerful aspect.
Stocks are rising. Business is start
ing of again with a rush. Every
thing looks brighter since the end OF
the third Liberty loan campaign.
The loan was inely oversubscrib-
ed. inSurllg all the money the gov
ernment needs for present war pur-
poses. But that is not the main
yhing. Tn. big cause for satisfac-
non is the great number of sub
scribers.
The number Of buyers for the
third loan was larger than those for
the first and second loans combined.
1t appears from unofficial figures
that about one person out of every
SIX in the United States invested in
this loan. That shows an over
whelming public support OF the war,
and suggests that whatever funds
the government needs in the future
will be Forthcoming, no matter how
great.
This wide distribution of the loan
constitutes. as Secretary McAdoo
has said, the soundest form Of ma
tional war finance" Because so
many people bought bonds in small
planning to paw for them
out of their current savings. there
has been scarcely any demand made
on the bankers. The close OF the
campaign finds the banks OF the
with far greater supply
oi funds than they expected to have.
Thus they can face more eheerfully
the prospect OF the big demands
,ext month to meet income tax pay
nents. and they can provide money
and credit for various forms Of pub
ic and private enterprise that have
been held up lately.

MEXICO BREAK DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS WITH CUBA
Continued from page y

riod the sending Of new represent
alive because it was considered an
indispensable measure for the high
ideals and interests of the two ma
tions in the actual movements Of An
acute world crisis.
The state of war in which Cuba
is involved has obliged the govern
ment of Cuts to dictate measures
which in many cases affect the inter
ests of the Mexican government and
her citizens: and for this reason the
Mexican legation would be called
upon to make frequent representa-
tons to the Cuban government
which would only be useless and
which would restrict the liberty Of
action of friendly nation which is
now in an afflicted situation.
in consequence, our diplomatic
efforts would not produce at this
time any practical results and would
only produce tension in our rela
tions which would have to be cleared
up later to maintain unbroken the
fraternal sentiments which have al
ways bound US TO the people of
Cuba and al! Latin American coun-
tries.
Mexico upon recalling her diplo-
matte representatives from Cuba,
gives eloquent proof of her consid
Grafton and respect for the sover-
eighty of friendly government
which is now passing through
critical period. At the same time it
furnishes proof of confidence, in
virtue oil which the Mexican gov
ernnent expects her citizens will be
treated with all the benevolenee that
the laws of Cuba and her institu-
tions permit. under which protection
they will remain in this republic the
same as her own nationals.
MEXICO Praises Herself.
I'm so doing. the Mexican gov
ernment complies faithfully with
the line of conduct which President
CArransa has proclaimed on innun-
cradle occasions as the highest ideal
OF a true society OF nations. the
equality of nationals and foreigners
alike. and complete submission of
all to the n,tional sovereignty. The
crisis having passed. as the one in
which originated the revolution in
our country IS passing over. Mexico

RESCUING THE FLEMINGS.

One of the most curious ant
characteristic tricks played by the
German government in the whole
course of the war is its undertak-
ing to free the Flemings.'
The Belgian nation is made up OF
two races, the Flemings and Wal
looms. The former are distantly re-
lated to the Germans-about as dis
tantly as the Saxons of England
are. The latter are distantly related
to the French. The FlemingS hate
the Germans more than the Wal
looms do, if that is possible.
Casting about for a plausible
scheme for annexing Flanders to
Germany, the German government,
early in the war, began a movement
to restore Flemish domination in
Belgium and rescue that people of
kindred blood from debasing French
influence. Telling about the move
ment from personal knowledge, in
the Saturday Evening Post. VIII
Erwin REMARKS:
THE Germans, who had come to
them, made no discrimination be-
tween Fleming and Walloon when
they seized Belgium. Flemish men
were shot against walls. Flemish
women ravished, Flemish children
murdered as they emergcr from
houses suspected of harboring a
sniper. Also. when Germany began
to need labor. Flemish workingnen.

and advocates the following: 2.a
Sell goods on the cash and carry
plan. Make one price for that kind
of a customer and another price for
the customer. who buys on the. charge
and delivery plan. Eliminate every
possible delivery. Make an extra
charge for delivery. ; Have but one.

operative delivery system for all
food dealers. Insist customers must
not hoard food, especially -four, ,su3
gar, meats and fats. Forego pack
age food. Sell in bulk, preferably
in ten-pound lots. Food in package
form especially in tin containers, is
needed for shipment abroad. Don't
