POOR OLD HANK !

To look II up, like other people.

To give me tips and make suggestions,
And feed me pre-digested knowledge

To sundry well-read gentlemen
Who lug around his education!
How the poor old chap must suffer
When lawyers, curious and discerning,
Proceed to make him out duffer

NO U-BoAT BASE IN CUBA.
Cuban Secretary of Interior Denies the
Charge Made by Toch.

Havana, Thursday, March l3-Denial
that a German submarine base was main
tanned on the coast of Cuba and that
Cuba was a hotbed of German propa
ganda was made tonight by Juan Mon
talyo, secretary of the interior, in a
statement in answer to declarations made
in speech in New York recently by
Maxmilian Toch, camoufleur employed
by the American government.
Havana newspapers on Saturday,
March g." said the seeretarys state
ment, contained the remarks of a Mr..
Toch, who is said to have spoken with
the consent of the secretary Of the Amer
lean navy, to the effect that the United
States naval authorities believed a Ger
man secret base existed on the north
coast of Cuba and that Cuba was practi-
cally one big nest of German spies, more
of whom were to be found in this coun-
try than in the United States ITSELF
"The Cuban navy, although small in
comparison TO the American navy. was
put under the guidance and virtually at
the disposal of the American navy de-
partment for the purpose of lending as
efficient service as possible in the Carib-
bean sea and the Gulf of Mexico. As for
the reported nest Of German spies, the
American intelligence service, both of the
naval and postofiice departments, can
best testify concerning the sincerity and
efficiency of the cooperation given by
the Cuban intelligence service during the
course Of the war"

Although Berlin Is a Scene
of Continual Dis

AMERICAN GEN.
HARRIES REPORTS
Latter, Who Is in, Charge Of
American Forces, Was
Nearly Killed

Paris, Thursday, March l3 (By the As
sociated Press Brigadier General
George H. Harries, commander Of the
American military force at Berlin, has
been here several days to report to the
supreme war council on the military and
economic situation throughout Germany
He has given dramatic recital Of events
in Berlin during the past three months
eliminating in the serious street fighting
of the last fortnight.
When the American party left Ber.
lin, the government forces under Gus
taye Noske, the German war minister
had the upper hand and, i'm General Har-
ries' opinion, the government will control
the situation particularly if food is sent

side the occupied zone consist Of
eight prisoners and 600 men, a consid-
erable part Of the contingent being sta.
toned at 20 camps at various places in
Germany. where 100000 Russian prison
ers are being cared for by the Americans
The headquarters in Berlin are on the
second floor Of the hotel Adlon. in tho
heart Of the city, where much fighting
has been going on. During the early
stages Of the fighting General Harries
had narrow escape He was standing
In a window Of the American headquar-
ters, watching a clash between opposing
factions, when a suiper's bullet grazed
his breast and buried itself in a window
casing by his side.
During the more recent disturbances in
Berlin, the electric lights have been ex.
tinguished, street cars stopped, telephone
and telegraph wires cut, newspaper
presses left idle and stores closed; vet
the public, according TO General Harries
shows little evidence of panic. The
streets have been crowded with people
including women and children, but the
military forces have kept the crowds
constantly moving
The rattle of rifles and machine guns
echoes throughout the city both day and
night, but the Spartacan bands have
been gradually driven back and have lost
control of strategic centers.
Thousands of Russian prisoners, Gen
Harries says, are clamoring to return
home but this would present a serious
problem, as it would mean the sending
of 100000 Russians i4to the hands Of
the bolshevik. The latter are threaten.
ing the Polish frontier and have a pow
erful organization at Wilma, with un-
limited funds for propaganda work
which is under direction Of Adolph JofTe
former bolshevik ambassador at Berlin
It is believed that a strong military
zone in Poland, between Russia and Ger
many, together with food relief, offers
the surest means of holding back the
boIshevik advance. Under American
care, the Russian prisoners are in rea.
sonably good condition, with adequate
food and little sickness. Steps will prob
ably be taken to return them to Russia
by way of the Blaal, sea or by other
routes so as to avoid forcing them into
the bolshevik ranks.
