the general policy of the entente al
lies and America of maintaining abb
solute control of shipping in the
Gulf OF Mexico and the Caribbean
Sea doubtless was known to the
Mexican authorities.
More Drastic Move Expected.
As Mexico cannot expect to make
any successful protest to the allies
or to the United States against
these restrictions, officials believe
she has Rad recourse to the plan OF
bringing pressure to bear directly
upon Cuba, and it was believed this
first stcD. involving the severance OF
diplomatic relations, would be fol
lowed bv retaiiatory measures of an
econom.c nature.
Among the measures would be
.h- prohibition of the expectation
to Cuba Of food supplies, such as
pens ard beans, largely consumed in
Cuba. 1t also was regarded as pos
sihle that an effort would be made
to stop tie expectation of Mexican
petroleum to the island. though it
might be difficult to separate such
exports from the vast amount OF oil
that is shipped from Tampico to the
United States and Europe for naval
uses.
Fuel Oil Supply Threatened.
Interference with this oil supply
might easily lead TO serious trouble
between Mexico and the entente al
lies and America. 1t is a naval ne
ccssitY that tti5 source of fuel sup.
ply be maintained during the con-
tinuarce Of the war; and while
there IS 70 disposition to refuse pay
nent Of ali reasonable taxation on
the exports OF oil, stoppage of
shipments to the naval forces would
bring immediate and vigorous pro-
tests.
Officials arr unwilling to discuss
at this stage TIE possible effect upon
relations between Mexico and the
U,ited States of Mexico's break
V ith Cuba. AS Cuba is in all but
name an ally of the United States,
any action even by neutral gov
ernmen; directed against her must
be a matter Of serious concern to
the United States.
Situation Is Peculiar.
While the almost invariable rule
Of international law is that a breach
Of diplomatic relations is followed
by actua, war between the parties,
the present situation is peculiar, and
there are lacking entirely these ele-
rents of personal offense and asper-
ity that maaes hostilities inevitable
in such cases.

reading Minister Aguilar's statement

MEXICO ISSUES STATEMENT
AS TO CAUSE OF BREAK
Won't Be Dictated to During Cuba's
Period in War.

Mexico City, Friday, May "a
Mexico has severed diplomatic rela-
tons with Cuba This was learned
officially late today after report
that the Mexico charge d'affaires at
Havana and the Cuban minister
here had been recalled from their
respective posts had been confirmed
at the foreign Office.
The recall of the Mexican repre-
sentative to Cuba and the suspend
ing for an indefinite time OF the
ser ding of new representative is
explained officially as due to the fact
that because of the war in which
Cuba is involved, Cuba has been
obliged to dictate measures that af
feet the interests of the Mexican
government in many instances.
For this reason, it is declared, the
making of representations that the
Mexican representative would be
forced to make to the Cuban gov
ernment would be useless and would
restrict the liberty of action of a
friendly nation, which is now in an
afflicted situation"

Fabric of More Substance and Lasting
Quality Brings This Material to
the Forefront.

Der of wolfe and georgette frocks. A
good voile dress much admired brings
out several of the latest notions-the
modified medici collar, the sleeveless
moyen age blouse and the side panels
of contrasting colors.
As the body of the dress Is of white
wolfe, blue is used for contrast and
develops the features Just mentioned.
The medici collar on this frock is
really more reminiscent of that high
fiaring fashion than actually the thing
itself, as Ii Is q narrow strip only,
rolling, however, high up at the back
of the neck to finish In that line so
becoming TO most women and without
which often the handsomest robes
seem incomplete. 1t is of alternating
strips Of the blue and the white wolfe
and ornamented with French knots,
blue on the white and, for contrast,
white on the blue. and IL becomes the
merest point In front where Ii rolls
away from the throat.

AS the fall season draws closer, vel
vet hats for women are coming into
greater use. The popular models, ac-
cording to the official bulletin Of the
Retail Millinery Association OF Amer
lea, are made of velvet combined with
hatters' plush or panne velvet, and
satin antique combined with hatters'
plush, panne velvet, ordinary velvet
or beaver cloth. In the tailored mod
els, 1t says, velvet with beaver and
hatters' plush Is used extensively. In
the "dressier" models the other COM
binations noted are seen.
The trimmings for tailored hats for
the new season include wings, quilts,
burnt ostrich fancies, ribbon or vel
vet bows, buckles of cut steel or bone,
and both large and small rhinestone
pins. For dress hats ostrich landings,
fancies, tips, jet or beaded ornaments,
paradise, ETC., are used. The leading
shades for fall are black, purple, navy,

some hats are seen with light-colored
facings.

TO MAKE THE PARASOL BAG
Open and Very BeautifuI-Yellow
Lining for Black.

II you have handsome parasol be-
ginning to show wear at the center OF
the top, carefully remove the silk from
the frame and cut out circle inches
in diameter.
From new silk, In shade TO match
the predominating color, cut two cir
cles z inches in diameter, placing
pasteboard between these. Fit this in
to the opening made In the center of
the parasoi, this forming the bottom OF
bag.
At the points Of parasol sew rings
covered with single crochet stitch.
Through rings draw silk cord, finishing
with large tassels and also place tas-
sells at bottom Of bag.
This bag is roomy, easily spread
open and very beautiful. If silk Is
thin from wear, a lining can easily be
added, using section of parasol for
pattern.
A black parasol lined with bright vel
low with black cord and tassels would
be very effective. A bunch of yellow
silk oranges could be added.
