ty Of action of friendly nation which
is now in an afflicted situation.
"WouId Produce Tension"
In consequence. our diplomatic eff
forts would not produce at this time
any practical results and would only
produce tension in our relations which
would have to be cleared up later to
maintain unbroken the fraternal senti-
ments of solidarity which always have
bound us to the people of Cuba and all
Latin-American countries.
Mexico, upon recalling her diplo-
matte representative from Cuba, gives
eloquent proof of her consideration
and respect for the sovereignty of an
other friendly government, which is
now passing through critical period.
At the same time it furnishes proof Of
confidence, in virtue of which, the
Mexican government expects her cit
liens will be treated with all the
benevolence that the laws of Cuba and
her institutions permit under which
protection they will remain in that
republic the same as her own nation
ais.
In so doing the Mexican government
Will tHS llhCo u
conduct which President CarranZa has
proclaimed upon innumerable occas-
ions as the highest ideal of true So
ciety of nations. the equality OF nation
ais and foreigners alike and complete
submission of all to the national SOW
ereignty. The crisis having passed, as
the one in which originated the revo-
luton in our country is passing over,

tions upon the basis of injustice and
equality only, and the great aspiration

international relations"
Report Not Confirmed Here.
(By Associated Press)
HAVANA, May 25.-The report that
Mexico has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba could not be confirmed
here early today In official circles
last night 1t was stated that there was
absolutely no foundation for such a
report The Mexican charge d'affairs
left Havana yesterday for Mexico City,
but visited President Menocal before
leaving.
Several days ago there were rumors
that relations between Mexico and
Cuba were strained These rumors
presumably were based upon the F'a-
bella incident A message of felicia
ton from President Carranza to Presi-
dent Menocal on the occasion of the
celebration of thu sixteenth annivers-
airy of Cuba's independence on May
20, apparently served to discredit the
rumors.

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Huns Claim That Russia's Collapse
Was ForetoId in Verse in the
Book Of Daniel.

Quotations from the Bible and the
use Of the name of the Deity are fa-
vorlte methods Of the kaiser and his
subjects for trying to justify them
selves for bringing on the world dis
aster. Now they have come forward
with a verse from the Book of Daniel
to prove that Biblical prophecy has
come true in the collapse of the Rus
sian fighting forces. The verse is:
"And for the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set
up, there shall be a thousand two hum
bred and ninety days."
The Germans point out that the
period of 1920 days corresponds with
the period from August /, 1914, when
war began between Germany and Rus
sia, and February II, 1918, when it
was announced that Trotzky had de-
clared the war Mt an end.

mated as the Greatest Mother
in the World"

Stretching forth her hands to all in
need; to Jew or Gentle, black or
white, knowing no favorite, yet favor
ing all.
Ready and eager to comfort at q
time when comfort is most needed;
helping the little home that's crushed
beneath an iron hand by showing
mercy in healthy, human way; re-
building 1t, in fact, with stone on
stone; 'replenlshing empty bins and
empty cupboards; bringing warmth to
hearts and hearths too long neglected.
Seeing all things with a mothers
sixth sense that's blind to jealousy and
meanness; seeing men in their true
light, as naughty children-snatchlng,
biting biter-but with a hidden side
that's quickest touched by mercy.
Reaching out her hands across the sea
to No Mans Land; to cheer with
warmer comforts thousands who must
stand and wait in stenched and crawl
ing holes and water-soaked entrench-
ments where cold and wet bite deeper,
so they write, than Boche steel or lead.
She's warming thousands, feeding,
healing thousands from her store; the

4 GREAT ARMY
New Age Limit VIII Provide
Seven Millions

An army OF 100000 fighting
men will be one result Of the ex-
tension Of the draft ages between
IS and As, in the opinion of the
war department officials. This is
the minimum figure, and it means
that every man of the 1000, 900
will be of the type and physique
Of those now on the battle front in
France.
Military men believe the class
of IS to 20 will yield 1000, 900
young men. From the class of 81
to 81 the country has already taken
100000 youths Of the best sol
dierly material in history, many
of whom are now in France. The
class of 81 to As is set down for
anOther Z,0O0,UU0 men.
Under the present plans, which
provide that the boys of from IS
to 90 shall be trained here, the
United States will have the largest
reserve army the world has ever
seen.
In one respect the tremendous
figures recall President Wilson'S
''interogatory answer" with refer
ence to the army when he said:
why limit it to 5000, 0002"
This means the possibilities OF
our army are practically without
limit. The 100000 could be in
creased to eight, nine, ten, eleven
or twelve millions, if needs be.

This swIndIer Up to pate.

Thought reading was the method
claimed to have been employed by a
man In Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. 1t
turned out to be very ingenious form
of swindle. Finding man who Is in
terested in racing, the confidence man
produces a roll of money, and states
that he won this by his fOre-knowl-
edge of the winners on the track. He
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He induces his victim to
hand him sums of money to be placed
or the horses, and then vanishes. In

gall had swindled number Of peo-
pie Of large sums Of money in this

LAY IN SUPPLY OF OXYGEN
Substance Necessary in Human Body
to Produce Explosions, Otherwise
Muscular Power

You are a whlzzbang, a fve-nine and
a 420-howitzer shell all rolled into one
If you only knew 1t. You can explode
more forcibly than the 200-pound, thin
she'll aero bombs on moonlight nights.
And the only thing that saves you from
blowing yourself up every minute Of
your life is natures provision for dis
trlbuting the spark throughout your
system.
Well, its like this:
DR.. Ronald G. Macfie Of Aberdeen,
Scotland has discovered that every
muscular movement is accomplished by
an explosion. You are different from
an airplane motor in three essentials,
component matter, design and the man
ner Of exploding.
When an aero cylinder explodes,
just so much gas is gone, not to be re-
generated within the motor. But when
you WELD the hoe in your war garden,
your muscles of the hand and arm are
propelled by an explosion Of part Of
their own substance. The burnt-up
portion is automatically replaced by
natural processes.
If you require a great deal Of mus
cular power-if you explode a good
deal, DR.. Macfie explains-you must
eat starchy foods and take all the oxy-
gen you can get.
In other words, clay Off the meat,
eat potatoes and go walking in the

Few women who are proud of the
fact that they wear hosiery, under
wear and dresses made of silk, realize
that old tin cans contribute from 20 to
300 per cent in weight to the glossy
silks worn by them. The price of silk
has increased enormously and to en-
able them to sell heavy silks at a price
that will yield a reasonable profit and
yet be within the means Of the average
purchasers. the manufacturers resort
to the practice Of weighing the silk
with tin tetrachloride, derived from
old tin cans. Five thousand tons of tin
were used fer that purpose in 1917.

The mother of this lad was rather

not tell if it was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending a COM

LET WORK ExTlaGUlSH GRIEF
Best Of Al Antidotes for Excessive
Sorrow Over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight.

Grief is an attitude Of mind. With
some people it Is q habit.
In a sense we owe II, as a sort Of
deferentiaI token Of our love and es-
TEEN, to manifest reasonable amount
Of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however. that the
intensity and duration Of the visible
manifestation Of grief are seldom In
direct proportion to the sincerity Of
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fod-
der for the Hun. It Is cause for
intense sorrow. but 1t is no cause or
excuse for lnsensibillty to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting.
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say 1t is the anguish Of watt
ing that makes 1t so hard on the won.
en-. If that is the cause of our grief,
we have an easy solutlon--just stop
waiting and get busy. There Is plenty
to do.
To have something before you, clear
~ seen, which you know you must do,
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life In do
ing, that is one form at least Of very
high happiness, and one that appeals
the facts prove it--not only to saints
and heroes but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, win find
opportunity for the same happiness,
that same exhilaration In doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, If any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth
