MEXICAN BREAK WITH
GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
MAY INVOLVE AMERICA
Real Grievance of Carranza
With Island Republic Is Be-
Iieved Its FriendIinesS To-
ward the United States

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In Mexico's
sudden breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba is seen an indirect &C
ton against me United States. Those
here most familiar with Latin-Ameri-
can affairs profess to see in it the fore
runner of more direct action, possibly
an interruption of intercourse between
the United States and Mexico.
Although without official information
Of a detailed character, it is understood
here that McXicos real grievance
against Cuba is the recent incident in
which the Mexican minister to Argen-
tina, Senior Fabela, was delayed in
Havana while some official, ostensibly a
Cuban customs Official searched his
baggage. and, probably, removed some
papers said 10 be of an international
character.
No announcements of this feature are
being made here ana no official secrets
if there be any are being disclosed.
But it is known that at the time, some
sort of a negotiation was going on be-
tween Mexico. Argentina and possibly
one other Latin-American country. hav-
toward the war.
1t is presumed that any papers found
in Senior Faoelas baggage 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
responsible 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 a Cuban in
spector or gendarme. Later however,
il seemed to have been satisfactorily
establishment that the man really was a
Cuban inspector.
A break between Cuba and Mexico,
it is felt, disrupts practically moth

lation In the opinion of those in close
touch with the subject. it may actually
give Cuba a free hand. as the Mexican
foreign minister says in his announce
ment. but perhaps not in the manner
suggested. American agents for some
time have been reporting German agents
operating in Cuba, some of them cross
ing frequently to the United States as
Cuban citizens of Mexican citizens.
severance of diplomatic rela-
tons probably would leave the
Cuban government feeling more at

Mr. Howard pitched his address IN a

chord with his hearers. He was intro

Basing his criticism of Senator Hard
wick on the ground that the junior
senator's opposition to the various war
measures has been detrimental to the
best interests of the nation in it's strug-
gle against Germany autocracy, Con-
gresham Howard delivered an arralgn-
ment of Mr.. Hardwick. He explained
the operation of the various pieces OF
war legislation, and defended the Sc
Iectiye service law as the most demo-
cratic statute ever passed by congress.
His attack on w. j. Harris and H
II. Dean was based on a charge thai
both of them have nothing to com
mend them to the consideration Of the
citizens OF Georgia.
Both of these gentlemen, although
their records are not particularly COM
mendable, are not unknown to Geo:-

IN MEMORY OF MY FRIEND.
(Mrs. +. r. stearns.l


There comes times In the life OF

words are inadequate to express ones

tears. In such a state OF mingled
surprise and sorrow find myself

through a trivial incident. bond OF
comradeship was established which
time will never efface. Mr.. Stone had
a spaniel. beautiful fellow. OF which
had grown very fond. and one day.
about a year ago, he stopped me TO
tell me of the loss OF his pet I'm an
auto accident. AS he talked of his
little Chubby" and how much his
loss meant, is eyes filled with tears
and he was unashamed. 1t was only
an incident. but in that moment
caught glimpse OF the great. tender
heart within the man.
There were other things about this
man which appealed to me. Perhaps
1t was touch Of sympathy because
the finger OF physical affliction had
been pressed heavily upon him. as
well as myself. leaving plans unful.
filled. Possessed OF n splendid edu-
alton. excellent mental ability, but
robbed years ago Of physical strength,
realized, as perhaps many others
did not. how far he failed to accom-.
plish the things for which he was IT
ed. Despite this fact. he greeted his
friends always with n bright, CHEEKY
smile, and few there we're who knew
what the sacrifice had cost him.
Through his death a home has been
robbed OF its most precious posses
sion, business house has lost val
ued employe. lodge beloved bro
ther. and hundreds OF friends, old ard
young, are denied the pleasant asso-
citation OF this man among men.
Farewell to you. Mr. Stone. While
our hearts are breaking, we rejoice
that you have been released from
sorrow and suffering. and await the
time when we can Join you In that

those who have criticised the war
