FOR US AND AGIN' US"

Spain and Mexico are neutral in
the world-war, and it is not for the
United States to tell them what
would, however, be best for them in
the final analysis Of the international
situation. But in Cuba, young us Il
i'on. and taking the big neighbor
to the west as her model, did not re-
frain from throwing down the gaunt-
let before the Kaiser and during him
lex it up. Placing themselves on
the side Of the Allies and the Unit
ed States, the Cubans are in this
fight for the sake Of civilization.
In stopping all sugar shipments to
Spain and Mexico, Cuba now takes
the position that any country that is
not with the champions of dcmocra-
cy is against it. President Mcnocol
may have additional reasons for cut
ting Off all sugar expectations to the
Spanish and Mexican ports, but APP
parently he has convinced himself
that he is proceeding correctly.
At all events, sugar is too precious
n product TO permit shipments where
there exists the least chance that
some of it may reach the enemy. 1t
is this risk that Cuba does not wish
to take. Hence, the decree just is
sued by the Inspcctor-Gencral Of Ia-
vana under instruction of President
Mcnocol, is Il war measure that prove
Cubans bent on aiding in winning
the struggle for democracy.

ALL'S QUIET ON
BATTLE FRONT
Military Men are Puzzled Over
Lull on Western Front---Our
Government Planning to Send
Large Number of Troops Ov-
er to Fighting Area.

= Washington, April 3-With the bat
Tie of Picardy brought to astandstill
for the time being, at least, and the
initial momentum of the German
drive overcome, military observers
hre were plainly puzzled tonight by
the fact that great counter assault
had not developed.
The psychological moment of the
counter stroke under the rules of
strategy, they think, is passing, if it
has not already passed, without re-
corded movement of the allied forces
toward throwing back the exhausted
foe before he has had time to dig
himsel fin. Officers here admit frank
iy, however, that they do not know
what the situation is at the front. If
any report has come from General
Bliss or General Pershing that would
serve to explain the defensive tactics
of the allies, it is carefully guarded
a secret.
1t is possible, it is suggested, that
the plan Of campaign mapped out by
General Foch is of far reaching scope
that would be involved in an effort
to hurl the enemy back to his old
line. The German defenses there,
which successfully stemmed the Brit
ish assault in 1916, are still intact,
and even if the allies were success
full in rushing the German lines back
over the twenty or thirty mile zone of
which he has wrested him, they would
face those defenses when their own
organization was badly demoralized
by their advance and their men show
ing the wear and tear of prolong
ed offensive.
For this reason some officers were
inclined to look elsewhere for the ag-
gressive campaign to which they are
pinning their faith. They have count
ed upon the creation of unified ar
my under General Foch to produce
offensive operations, and they see
nothing in the situation at the pres
ent time to warrant the. conclusion
that the allies have not the necessary
reserve force or supplies.
Speeding up the American troop
movements to France is occupying at
tention here now. President Wilson
held his weekly conference with the
heads of the war-making and produ-
tion branches Of the government to-
day, and it is understood that waysy
and means for throwing the full re-
sources of the United States into the
conflict this year were talked over.
One immediate step to that end is
known to be in contemplation 1t has
to do with calling to the colors of
100000 men which it already has
been announced will be mobilized
through the selective service machin.
cry during the year. Assurances
have been given that no great with
drawal of the mn from agricultur-
al and industrial life would be made
at one time, but the indications are
that statement now being prepared
regarding the number of men to be
called out first under the plan will
show that larger force will be mo.
bilized this month than had been in
tended before the German drive alter
ed conditions abroad.
