CUBA REMAINS -j
QUIET DESPITE
HEATED STRIFE\
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. — The
Roosevelt administration called up- '
on its every diplomatic resource j
yesterday to avoid American in
tervention in Cuba while Ameri
can warships steamed toward Hav
ana and marines waited sailing
orders at Quantico, Va., for over
seas duty.
President Roosevelt, without sur
rendering America’s right to in- ;
tirvene, as provided for in the j
Platt amendment, sought the co- j
operation of Latin America to'
make it unnecessary.
The situation in Cuba was said j
to be potentially explosive and it;
was feared that a general revolt j
or even civil war would burst into
the open with bloodshed at any
moment. The city of Havana it- !
self, is divided into two groups of ;
insurgent factions. This situation
makes it hard to determine if and
wlien trouble will start and if
American lives will be in danger.
President Roosevelt and Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull are do
ing everything in their power to
avoid intervention. The President
.has declared that if intervention
is made it will be to protect Am
erican lives and not American pro
perty.
j Eight more crack destroyers of
the United States battlefleet have
been ordered to go to Cuba and
report to the admiral in charge.
The American vessels now bound
for Cuban waters totals 30 ships.
In addition to the warships 12
| marine planes were having their
motors tuned, machine guns and
bomb racks mounted, to be in read
iness for any emergency. The
frossibilty that Marines might be
transported to the Island by air
planes was hinted a t. Inquiries
have been sent out to determine
the condition of landing fields at
various places in Cuba.
Marine officals were attending
special classes and it was said they
were studying Cuban topography.
! Radicals circulated a mani
• festo throughout Havana yester
urging residents to “join them ag
ainst the imperial Yankees.”
I Rumors were rampant in Hav
ana. In some circles it was stated
that the United States govern
ment would ask that President de
Cespedes be restored to his posi
tion as head of the Republic.

! ent Roosevelt informed the Ameri- J
can Bankers Association, convening j
In Chicago, that a definite policy
should be formulated to give as |
many non-member banks as pos- j
s ble aid from the Federal Deposit

WHEAT BARTER
; FOR FLOUR SAVES
MONEY ON TAXES
PLANKINGTON, S. D. Sept. 8. —
The old mill wheel is steadily
churning wheat processors back to
new prosperity in South Dakota.
1 Despite climbing wheat prices,
‘ farmers are bartering much of
I their wheat for flour direct from
the mill. This trade saves the farm
! er a one per cent gross income
tax, and the miller doesn’t have
to pay the 30-cents-a-bushel pro
cessing tax affixed under the
! wheat allotment act.
With flour prices on the up
swing, these tax exemptions save
the wheat growers 70 to 80 cents
for every 100 pounds of flour used,
wheat gi-owers say.
With this influx of new business,
mills that for 50 years struggled
i through a precarious existence now
| have started extra shifts.

by the extras the two gladiators
fought a terrific battle which re
feree Jack Dempsey declared a
draw.
