Accidents Can Be Avoided
by Observing Safety Rules

Statistics show that In the United
States during the year 1915 there
were approximately $4,000 fatal acci-
dents and 100000 serious injuries.
says the Magazine of Safety. One
half Of this enormous number have
been classified as accidents occurring
to employees Of the manufacturing
industries and public service COM
panies throughout the country-50
per cent Of which would have been
avoided IL workmen had not been
careless, while another 25 per cent
may safely be attributed to thought
lessness. Needless accidents can
only be eliminated by everyone prac-
ticing the rules Of safety at all times
and in all places.

Meat and potatoes are good food

Roosevelt Pictured
AS |. w. w. by Nearing

An ironical picture Of Theodore
Roosevelt jailed for disorder]y con-
duct as an l. w. W. speaker was drawn
by Scott Nearing in an address before
a Socialist mass meeting last night
at 1875 Third Avenue. Nearing, who
is under indictment for violation of the
espionage law, defended Eugene v
Debs, who is at liberty on bail for a
like offence
"The Indictment Of Debs shows an
effort to get men responsible for in
dustrial agitations," said Nearing "Do
you suppose if Theodore Roosevelt
were member of the l. w. W. he
would get away with the kind Of stuff
he writes and talks? Not on your life!
lie would be in Jail in ten minutes.
I'VE are facing the beginning in the
United States Of deliberate move
ment on the part of plutocracy to get
rid of the industrial classes. No one is
free in this country while Debs re-
mains under Indictment. Theodore
Roosevelt can get away with frank
speeches. but Debs cannot"
The meeting was called to promote
the candidacy for Assemblyman from
the I'd District Of w. M. Cook. Police
stationed at the door demanded regis
tration cards from members Of the
audience and arrested three men for
alleged draft evasion.

Crops in Runania
Reported a Failure
Corn Yield One-Twenty-hfth
Of Annual Size; Peasants
in Want

PARIS, July -Rumania's peasant
population is in more precarious con-
dirion from lack Of food and clothing
than at any time since Rumania entered d
the war. Reports reaching The Asso-
cated Press from authoritative sources
indicate that all crops this year are
lailures
The crop Of corn. which in normal
times is the great national staple,
probably will yield less than one-twen-
ty-tifth OF the usual yield. OF wheat,
maize and other cereals there is cnly
sufficient to feed one-tenth OF the popu-
lation
What little food there was has been
rcquisltioned by the Germans. The
bread ration has been reduced further
and amounts TO less than half pound
daily
The crops in Bessarabia are uncer-
tain and are in almost as poor a con-
dition as in Runania. Owing rartlv
to neglect and partly to lack Of labor,
seeds and rain the greater part Of
those countries which once teemcd with
agricultural products of every kind are
now great barren wastes.
Ii the Germans expect any food from
this waste territory, the reports con-
o,ude, they can have only the slender
hope of better crops next year. For
the present Germany viii get only a
mouth fu!.

Says Cuba Soon
Will Join i'm War
With Full Force
Secretary to President Men
ocal Declares Participation
Grows Stronger Daily

Cuba's participation in the world
war, direct and indirect, is increasing
from day to day and, as time passes
will be noted more by the other ma
tions fighting to end Prussian mill
tarism.
This is the message that Eusebio S.
Azpiazu, confidential secretary to Pres-
dent Menocal of Cuba, brings TO this
country. Senior Azpiazu, at the Hotel An
sonia last night, emphasized the fact
that Cuba daily is becoming more and
more a factor in the war.
"Yet in spite Of the war;" said Senior
Azpiazu, "Cuba's progress has been un-
interrupted. Our internal affairs are
i'll satisfactory condition and, thanks
to the unceasing efforts of President
H'enocal, our participation in the war
is increasing"
Biggest Sugar Crop
According to Senior Azpiazu. the sugar
crop now finished. is the biggest in the
history OF Cuba. while it was not as
large as we expected" he said, at ex-
ing country in the world 1t totalled
3,250,ooO tons. or approximately one
and one-quarter tons for every one of
the 100000 inhabitants of the island.
Practically all this sugar goes to the
Allies. They depend on US almost ex-
clusively."
"The Red Cross receives the support
Of everybody in Cuba" he said "Mn,e.
Mariana Sera de Menocal wife of
President Menocal, is head of the Red
Cross in Cuba. Chiefly through her
efforts there was raised $1,0O0.0O0 by
subscriptions to equip Cuban hospital
units for France. And Congress voted
an additional 100000 yearly to be de-
voted to the upkecp of these units"
In addition to this, Senor Azpiazu said
that the Cuban Congress voted to dis
tribute $2,500,0O0 among the Red Cross
organizations Of the United States,
France. Belgium, Italy and Great Brit
ain.
$250o00 Already CabIed
The first quarter of a million dol
iars," he said, "was cabed two or
three weeks ago and divided as fol-
lows:
General Pau. France, 100000;
United States, $4,000; Great Britain,
$4,000; Italy, $4,000, and Belgium,
$4,000"
Every possible step is being taken
by President Menocal, said Senior AZ
plazu, to check the spy evil and wipe out
what few German propagandists there
may be hiding in Cuba. "The passage
Of the recent espionage bill," he said,
will greatly strengthen President
Menocal's hands in dealing with the
situation. And it is at the insistent
demands of President Menocal that the
House of Representatives has been sit
ting in permanent session in Havana
since Monday discussing the co1npul-
sorry service Law, which will go into
effect Immediately. expect 20 hear
at any moment that the measure has
been passed by Congress.'
Cuba. according to Senior Azpiazu,
has gone in strongly for aviation "a
squadron" he said. "has been organized
and preliminary instruction is being
given By Lieutenant Terry, a Cuban
in the French army. who has been
granted leave Of absence at the re-
quest of Cuba"
