TAUNTING NOTE
MericO-Britain ROW
FniLS TO Alarm u. S.

G.N.SO Administration Off
cialS were concerned today, but
not deeply alarmed, over Mexico's
breaking off diplomatic relations
with Great Britain.
In other times a severance OF
diplomatic relations usually was
a prelude to war, but no one in an
official position in Washington
believed today there was any pos,
sibility whatsoever of armed con
flict.
The American Government, pur.
suing the good neighbor" policy
laid down by President Roosevelt
at the outset of his Administra
ton where Latin America is con
cerned, has taken calmer view
of the oil properties incident than
have the British.

MEXICO GUSTS.
BRITISH ENVOY
in OIL B R E AK
Own Ambassador Due
To Quit London
By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE

| ny An nun NO1NO AAN AANA
MEXICO CITY, May IA
GN.S)-"I suppose that means
I must CO."
Il suppose So"
That simple interchange Of
words between Britain's minister
to Mexico, Owen st. Clair O'Mal-
ley, and the Mexican foreign min
lister, Eduardo Hay, it was revealed
today, put the official seal on
Mexico'S severance of diplomatic
relations with Great Britain.
CARDENAS ACTS
Citing the allegedly "unfriendly
attitude of the British govern
ment toward Mexico in the con-
troversy provoked by expropria-
ton of British and American oil
properties, President Lazaro Car
denas defied the might of the Brit
ish Empire by announcing his min
lister to London has been recalled.
Hay, acting on Cardenas' in
struction, notified O'Malley Of
the recall of the Mexican Minister
in London, Primo Villa Michel,
and gave the British envoy to
understand he is expected to leave
Immediately.
Hay handed OMalley a check
for approximately $86,816 as pay
ment for British claims against
Mexico for British losses in revo-
lutionS here between 1910 and
1920.
This amount represented Mexi-
cos arrears for three months on
installment payments Of the Brit
iSh claims.
Cardenas, deeply offended by
a British note demanding imme-
diate remittance of the Mexican
arrears, broke off relations with
London in an angry mood. This
British communication came atop
two others demanding that the
confiscated properties Of the Mex
Eagle Oil Company, British-owned
concern, be returned. These de-
mands had been flatly rejected
by Mexico.
Cardenas hotly declared Britain
had been overly pressing in pre-
senting her demands upon Mexico
following the decree March ID,
whereby the British and American
oil companies were diSposSeSSed.
Altogether, their holdings were
valued at $500, 100000.
TAUNTING NOTE
Mexico's formal written reply to
the British note, a reply carefully
composed in CardenaS' office,
taunted Britain for defaulting on
her debt to the United States.
OMalley declared he had no
plans for the immediate future,
and added:
I'm waiting instructions from
my government"
He expressed hope he might be
to Ireland, his anceS-
tral home.

4OuI l1lNU
The battleship's destruction was
achieved only in theory as a spec
tacular phase of the GHQ air
forces mimic war" Two enemy"
aircraft carriers, caught by Army
bombers close inshore also were
put out of action.
ONE DESTROYED"
One carrier, the CHG COM
mand announced, was destroyed"
and the other disabled so badly 1t
could no longer launch bombing
planes against New York and
other Eastern seaboard objectives.
A squadron of the bombers
which Thursday made record
12OO-mile flight out into the At
lantic. through Zine squalls" hail
and thunder storms, caught the
battleship of the BLACK" fleet
mapping off Montauk Point early
today.
The "battleship" was an aluml-
mum slick dropped 60 miles OIL
Montauk by an observation plane
which preceded the flight OF the
bombers from their base at Har-
risburg, Pa.
BOMBS DROPPED,
From a high altitude, protected
from the battleship's anti-aircratt
fire by cloud masses, the huge
planes unloosed their high explo-
sive demolition bombs.
Struck by five tons Of INT, the
"black" battleShip heeled over and
sank.
The planes were loaded with
thirty-six 300-pound bombs. In an
actual attack on battleship, fly
ing officers said, huge 1,100-pound
bombs would be used. Their de
structive force is equal to the
shells hurled from the Navy's giant
16-inch rifles.
But in the bombing operations
against the theoretical battleship
today the bombers carried a
larger number of smaller bombs
to get a maximum of practise in
bombing water target from var
iouS attitudes.
DEADLY ACCURACY
The actual number of direct
hits registered was kept secret
for defense reasons but an idea
of its deadly accuracy is gained
from the fact destruction OF the
battleship was claimed for the
defending Blue" force. In this
war on paper the CHG strategists
give the enemy the advantage
where any question is raised.
The aircraft carriers were
blasted out of the water by squad
rons of two-engined Douglas BIB
bombers, immediate forerunners
of the flying fortresses, from their
bases at Albany and Hartford.
The Thirtieth Bomnardment
Squadron at Albany accounted for
the first carrier 100 miles south
east of Montauk Point. These
mombers also carried 300-pound
bombs.
The Twenty-ninth Bombardment
Squadron from Hartford conducted
teh attack on the second carrier
40 miles southeast of Sag Harbor,
Long Island.
AS with the fortresSes, oil slickS
were used on the sea surface to
simulate the targets.

SHANGHAI, May IA Q.N.S).
After months Of fighting, Japa-
nese forces claimed today to have
cut China'S vital lifeline" the
Lunghai Railway leading from the
coast into the interior.
Nipponese headquarters here is
sued comnunique stating their
mobile colEnn advancing on the
railway from the South had cut
the line vest of Suchow, near
Tangshan, by blowing up a bridge.
From Hankow, at the same
time, came reports that Chinese
troops were Systematically de-
stroying the harbor works at
Haichow, coastal terminus Of the
railway, in anticipation Of Japa-
nese attempts to land there.
In addition, the Hankow advices
said, the Chinese were tearing up
tracks and blowing up bridges
along the line.
Meanwhile, from Hongkong
came an unconfirmed report Jap
anese troops landed at the vii
lage of Meihua. 10 miles south Of
