^rr v PAGE TWO in a ?? CABRERA HACK FROM A SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR ForniW^leiiran Minl*t?'P of Flounce Insists shut Mexico Is Strictly Neutral. m New York. Aug. 26.?Luis Cabrera, formerly minister of finance of Mexico. Just returned from a 25,000 mile tour of South America whither he went last December to attend a rnnfprAnw of l.ntln.A ...... tral nations at Buenos Aires, declared here that his trip would. In an Indirect way, "contribute to a better understanding and more cordial relationship between Mexico and the United States." Mr. Cabrera expressed the belief that the recent nationalization of the oil and mineral lands of Mexico would not interfere with production and lhat the allied fleets would still r be afffc to obtain all the fuel they require at Tatnpico and Tuxpam. At the present time, he said, the allied countries did not have ship bottoms enough to carry Mexico's entire output of oil and under the new plan the production would be greatly increased. Charges of pro-Cermanlsm in Mexico were denounced by Mr. Cabrera who insisted a strict neutrality was being maintained. In proof of his friendship for the United State* lie intimated that his ntfif ;Ie t" vrl the was such in South America that, in certain quarters, he was the victim of hostile criticism and even insult. Although the Tt ifn'u Aires conference was never held, the MexInn ti on f ntf /I Oelo rr./l Win t ? gentina, Brazil, Chile; Peru. Bolivia andsother countries convinced him that the lTtiitc?fi States government's entrance into the war and her purposes were regarded there as unselfish and praiseworthy. Mr Cabrera said he regretted the conditions that contributed to misunderstandings between the Mexican nnd American people. He laid them largely to foreign intrigue and said there was no warrant for any but the most cordial feeling on both sides. The Zimmerman note, he denounced as "a most stupid piece of diplomacy" which created amusement rather than rancor in Mexico. So fas as taking over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California were concerned he raid the very idea was "absurd." that no Mexican desires such a "white elephant." Mr. Cabrera expects to return to Washington for a short visit to pay his resnecfa to the Mexican ambassador before returning to Mexico city.

On| his visit here, where he reported his experience to naval officers. Captain Kvan.s explained that the submarine carried 77 men, more than twice the number of a normal crew, and his impression was that its offb era intended to convert some captured ship into a 'aider or use the vessel as a mother ship for I'-boats, though it has been reported that double crews are carried on submarines In order to train enough men to keep up the warfare. "The I'-boat which sank the Penistone and which was my prison for eight days was about 2o0 feet overall, and carried two six inch deck guns," Captain fclvans said after telling of the circumstances which led to his capture. "These guns were not protected from the water in any way when the TT-boat submerged. The breech aparently was water tight the muzzles were securely plugged, when the guns were not in action. They were kept well greased. "The officers and crew of the submarine were young men. determined (itlfl hliainouu lll/o *nl M-X no nr?..

To British soldiers almost uncountable millions of cigarettes and hundreds of tons of tobacco have been sent, duty free. But despite these enormous shipments, the consumption of tobacco in the British Isles has steadily increased. The cost of tobacco has climed from 12 cents to 4 8 cents a pound for the, lowest grade dark American product, ?nd a light China tobacco used for blending purposes has jumped from 12 cents to 96 cents a pound. Anxiety and nervous strain inseparable from a great war are held re- WP sponsible for the increase in smoking at home. Testimony from the front Is that without generous supplies of tobacco the men could not withstand he strain of continuous conflict. This Gorn Will Peel Right Off!
