Delegation Comes to Pro-
test: Assert American
Observer Was Expelled
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON. Nov. 81. - Three
weeks having passed since the Cuban
election. without any official announce
ment of the result, and without anv
statement from the American State De-
partment as to the reports Of its OBJ
servers scattered through the island,
a group of Cuban Liberals has come to
Washington in the hope of obtaining.
decision from the American govern
ment.
This group includes the Vice-P Presi-
dental candidate on the Liberal ticket,
three professors Efrom the Cuban Ma
tional University and several promi-
nent lawyers.
The decision desired from this gov
ernment is not only as to who won
the Presidential election but whether
it was conducted fairly and in SYM
pathy with the election laws set up
by General Enoch Crowder, Provost
Marshal General in charge of the draft
during the war.
In written statement given to The
Tribune tonight, DR.. Orcstes Ferara,
former Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives OF Cuba, and owner of news
papers and magazines. calls attention
to the proclamation to the people Of
! Cuba made by the American State De-
partment on August 80. virtually giving
warning in advance that no revoiution
would be tolerated and that the elec-
tion about to take place under the
Crowder electoral system should be
fairly conducted, without intimidation
and fraud.
Issues Written Statement
Following is q statement written for
The Tribune by DR.. Ferara;
q have returned to Washington in
order to deal again with the same
electoral dispute to which | have dedi-
Gated four years OF my activities. But
now with q fairer case.
Due TO the violence and subsequent
revolution that took place in Cuba in
1917. the government OF the United
States decided to avoid the usurpation
of power which is the fundamental
cause of all Latin American troubles;
in other words, a President that re-
mains in Office, or wishes to designate
his successor against the will of the
electors.
an order to prevent electoral frauds
General Ehoch Crowder was sent to
Cuba with the consent and good will
Of everybody, to draft an electoral law
which was afterward submitted to and
passed by the Cuban Congress. But
since any law badly applied cannot
produce good results, the government
Of the United States on August 80,
1920, issued a proclamation to the peo-
pie of Cuba, stating that it was OPP
posed to any attempt to substitute
violence and revolution for the process
of government, emphasizing the fact
that it is not less opposed to intimida-
tion and fraud in the conduct Of the
! elections, as such procedure might be
effective in depriving the people of

along the Zbrucz River in eastern Ca
licia, e. narrow stream which was des-
ignated at the peace conference at Riga
as the armistice line, pending a per-
manent peace.
Reports from Galicia say that more
than 10000 of Simon Petiuras forces
Lave crossed the frontier, seeking
refuge in Poland before the advancing
Bolsheviki, and it is said that more
troops which have been fighting the
Soviet armies west Of Kiev are ap-
preaching the armstice line.
In several parts Of the country the
Bolsheviki have pursued the Ukrain-
ians for many miles and have taken
thousands of prisoners. Large num-
tcrs of Ukrainians have been driven
Into Polish territory. where they have
standing guard along the boundary.
1t is announced the Ukrainians have
moved their headquarters from ka-
menetz-P Podolsk to Czortkow, a town
directly south of Tarnopo. and within
Galician territory.
The breaking off of the Russo-Polish
peace negotiations has not only long
been foreshadowed in news dispatches
from Europe but Polish spokesman
both in Paris and at the League of
Nations Assembly meeting at Geneva
have expressed the belief that next
spring would see resumption of the
Bolshevik military offensive on the
western front.
1t has been pointed out that the
negotiations, which have now been
broken off, were begun when the Soviet
armies, threatened with rout by the
Poles, hastily sued for peace in the
west, because of the dangerous ad-
vances being made simultaneously by
General Baron Wrangel in the South.
The Poles, even though victorious,
were sufficiently exhausted to be will
ing to discuss peace, despite their be.
lief that the Bolsheviki were interested
in an armstice only, so that they could
muster enough forces in the south to
crush Wrangel once and for all
Now that the Wrangel menace has
been removed, the Poles have predicted
that rupture Of the Riga negotiations
and q resumption of hostilities in the
west might confidently be expected.
With this in mind Paderewski appeared
before the league council week ago,
seeking Polish military control of the
port Of Danzig to make sure that ade-
quate supplies of munitions could be
obtained when they are expected to be
needed next spring. The league has
the question now under advisement.

The sale of 100000 worth Of floating

The election, of the new members

and they polled the majority of the

The sale Of the bonds last night at

it would be unfair to put up the bonds
at auction without giving due notice

THAT IS REASON WHY THE COUN-
TY BOARD HAS NOT NAMED At
TENDANCE OFFICER.
MT PLEASANT BADLY CROWDED
Kings Daughters Generously Tender
Use Of Their Building There for the
Schools-Other Places Are Almost
AS Bad. '..,... co..

On account of the overflow in Mt.
Pleasant and other schools of the
county the board of education has
again deferred the election of a tru,
ant officer for this term. There are
already more pupils in the Mt Pleas
ant schools than can be housed proper
ly and if an attendance officer found a
lot of children in that community who
are not III school there would be no
place to send them. While conditions
are worse in this respect at Mt. Pleas
ant than elsewhere in the county, they
exist at several of the schools and
more than one church has been
brought into, requisition to take care
of the surplus.
The Kings Daughters of Mt. Pleas
ant, have generously rendered the use
of building which they have for TAX
ing care of the surplus children and it
will probably be necessary to add to
the faculty of the school. 1t has been
expected that the county board would
elect an attendance officer at the Sep
TENDER meeting, but faced with a
shortage of space in the schools and
a record breaking attendance the cleo.
ton was deferred. 1t was again de-
ferred at the October and November
meetings.
There has been some criticism of
the board for it's failure to take steps
for the enforcement of the attendance
law, but the members explain that it
is useless to incur this additional ex-
rense for the county unless provision
can be made to take care of the sur
plus students. Already the attend
ance is larger everywhere than it has
heretofore been and during the war no
additions were made to the school
plants so that the board is powerless
to provide rooms. The funds are linn
tied too and the twenty-five per cent
increase in teachers salaries guaran-
teed by the county court has been ex-
ceeded, because otherwise teachers
could not have been secured.

Highway Been

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
The section of the new highway in
course of construction between Co
lumbia and Spring Hill, between Ash
tons mill and the Bear Creek pike
will be closed to traffic for the next
four or FIVE days while the surface is
being put down.
Contractors are we'll pleased with
the progress which has been made on
the new road during the past three or
four weeks, and believe that before
real winter weather sets in the road
will have been completed to the Bear
Creek pike, which will be used as
detOur road during the winter.
The new road has been completed
for a distance Of two or three miles
this side of Spring Hill, and the rock
foundation for the asphalt has been
put down on several additional miles
between the Columbia and Spring Hill
sections.
Engineers believe only a short time
next spring will be required to com
plete the new highway with anything
like favorable weather during the ear
ly winter.
