" ; i Havana, Cuba, Sept. 29.?Hdroiclj doses of patriotism, self-administer-1 { 'ed by Cuba, have marked the course , of treatment prescribed by Major , General F. H. Crowder since he began his diagnosis last May of the j evils that were ravaging the self- t government organs of the island re- i public. ... ' , Taking their cue from the consult- { ing physician sent by President Hard- j, ing, and with the causes of the decline in national credit and internal j (government efficiency made plain in j the general's 13th memoranda, the as- ( fristSng Cuban doctors and nurses be- j gan drastic measures. I Through intellectual, commercial t and patriotic organizations and by ] parade, manifestation, mass meet- t ings, resolution and editorial, the ne? f cessity for new standards of good , government was made plain. Never ; in the course of Cuba's 20 years of f independent government, according f to impartial observers, have the peo- < pie received so intensive instruction i in patriotism, the rights and .oblige j . tions of self-government, and the : scope of the Piatt amendment to the j constitution, which fixes the extent , the responsibilities assumed by the j United States in vouching for the i Cuban Republic before the nations of , t*he world. % ] Hlhe events that marked a reeent ] extraordinary council of the Veterans of (foban Wars of Independence are I typical ef AH the recently held patriotic movements. Reports that Cuba was threatened with American intervention, which followed partial publication of the lftth Crowder me- j moranda and his demand on August ( 30th, that oonfrrees take quiek action t on emergency legislation, resulted in t an S O S call to the veterans.

The same assurances were given by President Zayas to the organizers of i great parade of Masons, which deiled recently before the chief execu;ive. Similar statements were made it meetings of engineers, architects, >usiness men and politicians. Exhaustive discussion of the politcal and financial crisises confrontng the government and the scope of General Crowder's mission, resulted n attentive studies in news and editorial columns of Cuba's relations to he United States as defined in the Piatt Amendment. Despite flurries ?f feelinr caused bv nartisan attacks >h the Zayas administration for its illeged complaisance before Washngton, and cm the American congress or increasing the tariff on sugar, the general conclusion was reached that 3uba must save herself and that the United States was giving her full op>ortunity. In addition to the .flood of newspaper and oratorical comment/ the -eform flurry was marked by the pubicaticn of books dealing with CubanAmerican relations. Among these ire numbered "The Peril of the Eagle," "Under the Claw," and "The Piatt Amendment."

With him in his monoplane will ride a mail sack containing letters written by Nome residents for delivery to friends in Europe. If weather conditions had not forced a postponement of the flight until next year, these letters might have reached their destination a week ahead of the time required to mak-> delivery by the established routes. As it is, arriving perhaps more than a year later, they will have a priceless historical value to their recipients wh will odoubtless follow the affairs of their explorer-postman with intensified interest.
