Dr.. Winkler Tells of Wall Street
Rnmors About War Approaching

NEW YORK.-Rumors of the rapid
approach of war are reported by DR.
Max Winkler, one of the leading Wall
Street authorities on foreign invest
ments. In special article in last
Saturdays New York Evening Post,
Winkler writes, regarding the rumor
that war is soon TO be declared.
The most fantastic rumors are
current: War is going to be de-
cIared within the next two weeks;
thirty five war correspondents have
already embarked for Europe, as
if men who happened to have
served as correspondents during the
last war had no right to go TO
Europe"
These rumors in the financial dis
tricts of Europe and America show
that beneath the surface there is a
rapid preparation for war, which has
its immediate effect on the bond
and stock markets.

expected to be the biggest ever held

MACHADO SHOOTS
CUBAN JOBLESS

Cuban unemployed workers were
shot and killed by troops of the
butcher, President Machado, when
they demonstrated for food at Bay
amo.
A report to the New York Times
on this incident states that BAN
quet was oeing held by a group of
Machado supporters, and that the
jobless workers, seeing the vast heaps
of food wasted by the parasites, de-
manded that they be fed. The an
swer was the calling of troops, who
shot down number of unemployed
demonstrators. A battle followed be-
tween soldiers and unemployed.
The National Labor Union in Ha-
vana met on Sunday and passed a
resolution calling on the workers to
demonstrate in protest against the
killing of workers in Manzanillo by
soldiers.
