ON LOGON FAILS.
Strong Forces of the Enemy
Launched an Attack Early

Elected; They Came Back
Again and Were Once
More Beaten Off

CUBAN TRADE BOOMING.
Has More Than Doubled in the Past
Four Years.

Havana, April l3.-The increase in
trade between the United States and
Cuba from Sl96 0000 600 in 1913 to St45.-
100000 last year will be emphasized in
an exhibit of Cuban trade at the annual
session of the national foreign trade
council of the United States at Cincin-
natl, O., April 1920. The great devel-
opment OF trade between the United
States and Cuba has given the island a
leading position in this respect among
the nations of the western hemisphere.
Cuba's trade with the United States is
declared to exceed by large margin that
OF Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
Last year the United States took IS per
cent of Cubas export and supplied 20
per cent of the islands import II is
expected that the islands trade with The
United States will be even greater this

With the British Army in France, Fri
day, April l2-(By Associated Pressl.-
With the exception of Merville the Ger

objectives for the present drive north
and south of Armentieres: but to-day's
developments indicated that they had
no intention of abandoning the assault
Immediately. Not less than SS divisions
have been employed, which means that
at some places the British have been
very heavily outnumbered.
There was a sanguinary battle to-day
east of st. Nenant, between Merville and
Are, with the British making deter
mined stand. About Givenchy at the
southern end of the battle line the Brit
ish have thus far maintained stone

Was Spaulding Senior Play, "what Hap
pened to Jones."

by one of the largest crowds that have
witnessed a senior play at the high

TO thicken shortly after the curtain rose
and from that time on the various Incl
dents tended to round into a presenta-
tion, which finally ended with the real
identity of Jones and the bishop Of Bal
larat becoming known. Miss Eva Smith
of the high school was in charge of the
training of the cast and TO her is due
great deal of credit for the presentation
of a smooth and delightful performance
