CABRERA DENIES THAT HE FAVORS

 Senor Cabrera mphaticaLy denied charges, contained in newspaper dis patches received in Mexico City, that he is favoring the British at the ex pense of American interests, Brand ing charges of, anti-Americanism made by ''The Interventionist Press" as part of an international political scheme, he declares them utterly false.
 The statement makes specific men ton of charges of favoriism to the British with regard to the return of the railways to their owners; oil con sessions and cotton shipments; the proposed visit of Rafael Nieto, sub secretary to the minister of finance, to London; the visit to Mexico of Ma

Members of the Yosemite Club, n business mems organization, of Stock ton, Cal, have solved the problem of getting a nourisiIing and satisfactory luncheon and saving money at the same time. For a year and half the club has followed the practice of sell ing three War Savings Stamps to the members who gather for luncheon each day except Sunday. For nearly 800 days this custom has been put Into ef- feet, and members have invested in the neighborhood of S6 600 in Treasury Savings Certificates. At maturity this investment will net them more than S7,0OO.

Critchley of the Canadian Air Forces and their conferences with Norman King, the British consul gen eral at Mexico City, together with an lntimaton, which Cabrera declares to be false, that an attempt is being, made to secure British support in the controversy with the United States over the killing and kidnapping of Ameri- can citizens.
 The tnterventfonfst press. according g to Cabrera, nlisinterprets Mexico's re- sumption of relations with the Euro pean nations. He declares that dur ing the war NIexfco's international re Iauons of necessity, were concerned mainly with the United States, but that after the conclusion of peace a resumption of relations with other powers was a natural procedure, which should be regarded as an inspiration for confidence in the United States instead of a subject for unfOunded conjectures that an antf-American motive inspires the move.
 Senor Cabrera likewise mentions the Monroe Dictrine relative to "in- tervention-st press'' charges in con nection with MeXico's European rela- tiOns. asserting that the intervention ists taCitly assume Iatin-America south of Mexico as a United States sphere of expansion.
 General Grttchley stated to the cor respondent upon his arrival in Mext- co City week ago that he expect ed to stay about ten days in the capi- tai, later leaving for a trip to Chi huahua. Major Howard is a former resident of Mexico, having resided 'here about five years prior to the world war.
