classification Due to Wish to Deceive
Other Nations in Man Power-Ac-
counts for Great Strength of Nation
in Men of Military Age.

WASHINGTON, June s2o.-For the |
twenty years preceding the outbreak of
the present war the imperial German
government, through studied systematic
Justification of the vital statistics pre-
pared under the direction of the national
census department. had prepared the
public minds of all Europe to meet the
man power in war natural to expect
from a nation of 6s.000,U00 persons.
In reality the growth of the German
Empire in population had been to n
point - 100000 greater than this. and
when the wardrobe over Europe in 1914
the actual population of Germany was
10000 ,00o.
These facts were communicated to
| Chairman Hiteheoc k of the senate for
| eign relations committee by Dir. c. D..
Usher Of Auburndale. Mass, formerly
actively engaged in the study of politi
cal and commercial conditions in the
trans Caucasian region and for many
years resident of Germany and other
central European countries.
| DR. Usher gave, as his authority for
the astounding statement of Germany s
| concealed man power no less a person
age than Field Marshal Won Hindenberg
During the summer of 1913 DR. Usher s
daughters had been guests in the home
of the then retired German General.
They were intimate ehulms with the
daughters of the present field marshal.
Won Hindenberg related to them the
| fact that n part of Germany 5 war
/ plans, extending back over a score OF
years. had been the deception of the en-
tire Gylized world as TO her mhltipli-
cation of population within her own
borders. ys.
Hindenherg said that the concealment
had been effected through the partial
Justification of the statistics as to lie
Ultimate births The German govern
ment S published figures had disclosed
an ille2itimate birth rate in the neigh
borhood of % per cent. In fact, this
ratio was wholly false, and the actual
percentage was nearer 30 per cent
According to Dr.. Usher. this will ae-
count in great measure for the great
stIength sin4nen OF military age dis
closed by Germany in the course of the
present war. On the basis of the Ger
man census figures. if true the German
armies should have been from 20 to .
per cent smaller than they have been
and in turn the various classes of re-
eruits should have been smaller in ap
proximately this degree
The deception has served to throw
out of alignment the calculations of tn,

mics from the start of the war unit

No signs are observable, according

seems less marked than for some days
past, while the aviators have been
obliged to let down in their intense
labors by the advent OF less favorable
weather. 1t seems not improbable,
however, that the magnificent work
Bf the allied airmen has had much to
do with the slowness of the enemy in
putting his offensive machine in

washington, May 27.-In Mexico'i
sudden breaking off Of diplomatic re
lations with Cuba is seen an indirect
action againgt the United States.
Those here most familiar with Latin
American affairs profess to see in It
the forerunner Of most direct action
possibly an Interruption Of intercourse
between the United States and Mex
leo. Although without official infor-
nation of a detailed character, 1t is
understood kere that Mexico's real
grievance against Cuba is tho recent
incident in which the Mexican minis
ter to Argentina, Senior Ysidro Fabela,
was delayed in Havana while some
official, ostensibly a Cuban customs
inspector, searched his baggage and
probably removed some papers, said
TO be Of an international character.
This incident is believed here to be
the real cause Of the break, and those
who entertain this belief are firm in
the conviction th;t Mexico was ON
WINGED that the United States was re-
Bponsible for the incident.
When Sehor Fabela's luggage was
searched it was maintained by some
that the person YhQ did it was not a
Cuban official at all, bat some other
agent In the disguise Of q Cuban In
speetor or gendarme. Later, however,
It seemed to have been satisfactorily
established that the man really was q
Cuban inspector.
A break between Cuba and Mexico,
It is felt, disrupts practically nothing
but a l0ng-standing friendly relation.

Galveston Man Complains
of S.. 400, SWindIe Here

An alleged swindIe game, as the re-
suit of which G. X. Jorgensen, manager
OF the Crystal Palace amusement hotel
at Galveston, Tex, claims he lost IS. 400
was worked in Atlanta several weeks
ago, according to a complaint received
from Jorgensen by Chief of Police J. L.
Beavers.
Jorgensen passed through Atlanta on
pleasure trip. he declares. and after
stopping at a local hotel inquired OF
one or the guests as to the location of
A theater and soon became more or less
wen acquainted with the stranger, who
he says, gave his name as Bradley.
As the two were walking along the
street. Bradley says he picked up an
envelope containing a $4,000 check and
on returning to the hotel found a man
named Hansen telephoning newspapers
70 insert an advertisement for the miss
ing $4,000 check Hansen gave Bradley
$40 as reward for returning his prop
erty and as it developed that Hansen
was an agent for a brokerage concern
in New York, Bradley played the $50
in the stockmarket and made 5000 on
Hansen's tip, according to Jorgensen's
stOrys
The 5000 was then played and Hansen
informed Bradley and Jorgensen that
they had made SlS,0 900 on the deal, but
that $4,000 deposit must be made ny
each before payment would be made
Jorgensen put up $4,000, he claims, and
this was supposed to have been de-
posted in his name.
HenSen then said he was called to
New Orleans and Jorgensen decided TO
accompany him, to secure his share of
the $4,000 and get his s5,4O5 back. On
the way to the station Hansen found
he had forgotten something at the hotel
and left Jorgensen to go on to New Or
leans, agreeing to meet him there. Han
sen~failed to show up in New Orleans
but wired Jorgensen that he would
meet him in San Antonio, Tex.
The next news from Hansen. accord
ing to Jorgensen's letter, came from New
York, saying that he would be in Gal
weston, Tex, in a few days, but Jorgen-
sen later received a wire saying that
Hansen had been called abroad
Hearing nothing further, Jorgensen
finally communicated with the Atlanta
police, having been informed that swindle
games had been worked in this city
during the past few weeks. 1t was
thought at first that new evidence had
been secured against T. B. Ross and J..
a. Bolton, the two men who were held
at the Tower several days charged with
conducting swindling operations, but his
description of Hansen and Bradley does
not Mt either of the two suspects who
were at first arrested and then turned
over to the authorities at Bowling
Green, Ky, on a burglary charge
