Americans Charge
Machine Guns, Rout
Foe in No Man S Land
by The Associnfcd Pressl

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 25.--An American
recommending party commanded by
Lieutenant A. P. Craddock, of Lynch
burg. Va, had a thrilling hand to
hand encounter with Germans in No
Mans Land in Picardy last night. In
the face of continuous fire from
two machine guns they charged the
enemy. Although Lieutenant Grad
dock and several of his men were
seriously wounded, they continued
lighting and drove off the Germans.
One of the Americans was shot in
the head and body, and lay On the
ground stunned. When he came to
ne found German holding him by
the shoulders. He whipped out his
gun and killed the German.
Another American detachment in
the course of the night penetrated
enemy organizations in the Bots Al
iogne, attacked a German post and
killed five Germans and took one
prisoner. The prisoner told the
same story as thousands of others
who have been taken by the British
and French-that he would give any-
thing to see the war ended. He an
Parently knew nothing regarding
future German movements.

can soldiers in France, such dispatch
as that quoting Representative Cad-
wells prophecy that million Ameri-
cans will be in France next month
being banned by the censor.
1t is doubtful whether the German
critics themselves know even approx
mately the size of the American army,
although the German General Staff is
hardly likely to be in ignorance of the
true figures. After celebrating on the
drain of the war on the French forces,
Gaedke says:
at is therefore no wonder that our
troops are finding American battalions
in increasing numbers on different
parts of the front We shall have to
assume that the Americans will keep
crossing the Atlantic steadily to in
crease the diminishing strength of
France and England"
He says that the Allies had 200 d.
visions before the drive began. Other
German critics say that Foch has only
enough reserves left to repair the
believe that Foch can no longer make
vigorous counter offensive and re-
cover the initiative. They contend
that the strain of waiting exerts a
greater influence upon the Allies than
upon themselves, because there is no
uncertainty upon their side.
Next to these questions, the scene Of
the next operation receives the most
attention from the critics. Nearly all
believe that the Flanders front will be-
come lively first. The Ypres salient is
considered the most promising portion
of the battlefront.
Won Ardenne would have his read
ers believe that "the sword of Damo-
cles hangs especially over the head Of
the British garrison at Ypres. which is
inclosed in a semi circle. The great
German wedge is like a she'll which
has entered its objective but has not
yet exploded. Those around it are
awaiting, it in terror and excitement.
"FochN man power is really ap-
preaching exhaustion. The greatest eff
fort has been made. 1t is very sgnif-
cant that in the great effort of 1917 the
allied Western powers could raise only
twenty-three divisions for the sum-
mer and autumn fighting Now they
have about thirty more, not including
the Belgians. Portuguese and Ameri-
cans"

Cuban-Mexican
Situation Difficult
OF Interpretation

HAVANA, May 25.---Thc exact situa-
ton with reference to the diplomatic
relations between the Cuban and Mexi
can republics is difficult to define in
view of the wide divergence of in
terpretations placed upon the depart
ure of the Mexican Charge D'Atfaircs
from Havana, who before sailing, paid
courteous and friendly visit to Presi-
dent Mcnocal. Apparently his de-
parturc had no more significance than
home to make report to his govern
ment. That the Cuban charge in
Mexico has been recalled recently SIS
merely coincidence and not connected
with any question pending with
Mexico.
Sub Secretary of State Patterson
stated to the press that the reports
that the diplomatic relations have been
broken off were groundless and showed
a dispatch from the Cuban Charge in
Mexico. Senior Santamaria, stating that
the latter had been informed by the
Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations
that the recall of the Mexican Charge
does not constitute a rupture of diplo-
matte relations.
high government official, who re-
fused to allow his name to be used,
said to-day, when shown Mexico City
dispatches to the effect that dipo-
matte relations between Cuba and Mex
leo had been broken, that. although
the Cuban government had received
no previous notice regarding Mexico's
action, the dispatches doubtless gave
correct view of the situation.
He stated that he considered Car
ranza's action to be a friendly one,
taken to avoid possible complications
later, in view Of Cuba's situation as
one of the warning nations, which find
it necessary sometimes to take I'M
usual action.
He declared that the Cuban minister
had been absent from Mexico for sew
eral months and that his successor hsd
been proposed. The Cuban charge
d'affaires was recalled from Mexico
City before the present situation arose
for the reasons not connected with it.
The legation was left in charge of its
secretary, whose recall is not contem-
plated at present.
No diplomatic exchanges, he said,
had taken place which might indicate
seriously strained relations between
the two countries and he believed that
these relations might be considered
as only suspended during the war
crisis.

Hindenburg's Drive
1mpeded by Airmen

by Cable to The Courier DIES Etats-U nis)
PARIS, May 25.-Thc Allied aviators
are considerably impeding proposed
German offensive, military critics here
agree.
The "Petit Journal" says:
"The aerial superiority gained by
the Allies, which, owing to American
contributions, is daily increasing, has
been turned to good account by the
General Staff"
"Humanite" says aviation will play
an enormous part when the Germans
resume the offensive. 1t adds:
"The Intervention of our aircraft

the enemy columns on March % co
close, in anticipation of the arrival of
the infantry, the opening between the
English and French armies will be
remembered by history as splendid
incident.
There were present only few he
roic but numerically insufficient ell
ements OF our cavalry, who knew how
to sacrifice themselves like their elders
ut Reichshofen. The aerial cavalry
followed the noble traditions of the
terrestrial cavalry on that tragic oc-
casion as we'll as at others, such as at
Moreuil and Montdidier."

an output of forty-ive motors a
day has now been attained by the
two factories that have attained guam
titv production, namely the Packard
and the Lincoln, the former now ap-
proximating thirty and the latter If
teen a day.
Another impediment to successful
manufacture of Liberty motors, to
which little attention has been paid,
now is assuming large proportions. 1t
is that Of impaired morale of work
ers and executives. due to the con-
tinual iteration and reiteration Of
charges that the Liberty motor is a
failure; that successful plane produc-
tion is impossible; that the manufact-
urers are united in a conspiracy to
advance their own interests and that
the whole fabric of the aircraft organ
ization is befouled with graft

in Havana while some official, osten-
sibly Cuban customs inspector,
searched his baggage, and probably re-
moved some papers said to be of an
international character.
No announcements of this feature
are being made here, and no ohcial
secrets, if there be any, are being dis
closed.
But it is known, at the same time,
some sort of negotiation was going
on between Mexico, argentina, and pos
sibly one other Latin American coun-
try having for its purpose common
attitude toward the war. 1t is pre-
sumed that any papers found in Senior
Fabelas luggage had to do with it.
This incident is believed here to be
the real cause of the break. and those
who entertain this belief are firm in
the conviction that Mexico was con-
WINGED that the United States was re-
sponsible for the incident.
When Senior Fabela's luggage was
searched it was maintained by some
that the person who did it was not a
Cuban official at all but some other
agent in the disguise of Cuban in
spector or gendarme. Later, however.
it seemed to have been satisfactorily
established that the man really was a
CuDan inspector.
May Give Cuba Frcer Hand
A break between Cuba and Mexico.
IL is felt, disrupts practically nothing
but long-standing friendly relation.
In the opinion of those in close touch
with the subject, it may actually give
Cuba free hand, as the Mexican For
cign Minister says in his announce
ment, but perhaps not in the manner
suggested.
American agents for some time have
been reporting German agents operat-
ing in Cuba, some of them crossing
frequently to the United States as
Cuban citizens or Mexican citizens. A
severance of diplomatic relations prob
ably would leave the Cuban govern
ment feeling more at liberty to invcsti-
gate their activities.
When first class powers are con-
cerned, break in diplomatic relations
inevitably has been followed by war.
Between lesser powers this rule often
fails to hold good

Pershing' 8 Men Play
Ball in Gas Masks

WITH THE A M E r | c A N
ARMY IN FRANCE, Friday,
May 24.-An innovation in train
ing recently put in practice back
of the American lines is to have
the men, while playing baseball
in their recreation periods, wear
their gas masks throughout the
game, the idea being to get them
accustomed to breathing properly
in these protective devices under
all conditions.
Tomorrow an exhibition game
will be staged, with Hank Gowdy,
the former Boston star, and other
soldiers with big regulations on
the baseball field participating.
Gowdy, wearing his gas mask,
will catch for one of the teams,
and all the other players will be
similarly equipped. 1t was freely
predicted tonight that the UNI
pires would have an easy time Of
it during this contest.

strain of suspicion and lack of appre-

cation.
Patriotic workers in some of the
plants, convinced by what they have
read that their work is not contrib
uting to the successful issue of the
war, have quit and gone into other in
dustries, such as shipbuilding, in which
they have confidence. The fine spirit
OF industrial adventure and patriotic
enthusiasm, which has ACCOMPLISHED
wonders, has been all but wiped out by
the atmosphere of suspicion and con-
demnatlon which surrounds the whole
aircraft enterprise.
What the aircraft work needs now
above all else is an inspired and in
spring leader like Schwab. Through
mountainous difficulties manufact-
urers of aircraft are fighting their
way to success. All they and their
thousands of loyal workmen need now
