By EDWARD W.

So they staged a second sec-ond revolution while the president was far from Havana Inspecting In-specting hurricane I tv" J damage ana rorcea Jl De Cespedes aad nis entire goreru-ment goreru-ment to step out The affairs of the island republic were placed In the bands of a commission consisting of the five leaders of the revolt, Sergio Ser-gio Carbo, Ramon Grau San Martin, Culllermo Portela, Porflrlo Franco and Jose Miguel Irlzarri. This Junta announced that the five would serve with equal power except that For tela would be the "nominal president presi-dent before the diplomatic corps." This revolution, the second within a month, was accomplished without bloodshed, but the rebels, after ar resting their ofllcers, had posted ma chine guns at strategic points In Ha vana and guns from the fortifications fortifica-tions were trained on the presidential presiden-tial palace. De Cespedes hurried back to the capital, met the Junta members, and turned the govern-ment govern-ment over to them after they had rejected as unsatisfactory his explanation ex-planation that It was impossible to accomplish all the revolutionary alms In twenty-five days. Ambassador Welles was formally notified of the change, but had nothing noth-ing to say to the presa The news surprised Secretary of State Hull in Washington, and It seemed all the good work of Mr. Welles and Assistant Secretary Caffery was being be-ing undone. President Roosevelt Immediately ordered four warships to Cuban ports, but this, It was explained, ex-plained, was only to protect Amerl-can Amerl-can lives and property and did not constitute armed Intervention. Privately, Pri-vately, however, some officials admitted ad-mitted that intervention under the Piatt amendment was nearer than it had been for many years. Much was made in the newspapers newspa-pers of the fact that Secretary of the Navy Swanson went to Havana Just at this time, but It was credibly cred-ibly explained that he was on a previously arranged trip to the Pacific Pa-cific coast and that bis call on Ambassador Am-bassador Welles had no connection with the Cuban crisis. Carbo, one of the Junta and a magazine editor and leader of the youth movement, said the overthrow of De Cespedes was determined upon when it was discovered that Mario Menocal, lately returned from exile, was organizing a counter-revolution. The radical leaders, also, were utterly dissatisfied with De Cespedes' appointments to his cabinet, cab-inet, some of his ministers having been too closely Identified with tor-mer tor-mer administrations of which the radicals did not approve, JUST before the revolution Cuba had been swept by a tropical hurricane hur-ricane that took the tlves of yet uncounted scores of Inhabitants and did vast damage. The storm moved toward the northwest and struck Florida and Texas, In the latter state perhaps a hundred lives were lost and the beautiful lower Rio Grande valley was devastated. The cities of Brownsville, llarllngen and Rio Hondo suffered severely. Relief Re-lief for the stricken districts was swiftly organised by Governor Ferguson Fer-guson and the federal authorities. Troops were hurried Into the valley, val-ley, where a flood followed th nm rlcane. On the Mexican sld of the river the destruction of life and property was as great as in Texas. UUGO & JOHNSON. NRA ad- minlstrator, has organized his forces for a nation-wide campaign for "Buy Now Under the Blue Eagle," and In his Labor day address at the World's fair in Chicago he set September 20 as the date for Its starting. start-ing. He and his numerous nu-merous aids will endeavor en-deavor to persuade the people that to buy things at this time Is not only a patriotic duty but a prudent ose of their money. In deed, they stress the latter point especially. es-pecially. The women particularly are relied on to make this movement move-ment a success, and many thousands thou-sands of them, under the leadership of Miss Mary 1 Hughes, are enlisted enlist-ed la the campaign to secure from the consumers pledges to support with their custom the manufacturers manufactur-ers and merchants who are entitled to display the blue eagle. In his Chics go address General Johnson warned bis bearers that the process of economic recovery necessarily neces-sarily entailed the raising of prices but gave asurance that this would be controlled by the government. Two troubles the recovery admin istration has run into were described de-scribed by Mr. Johnson as, first, the failure of some employers to live op to their agreements under the blue eagle, and second, misunderstanding of the codes between employers and workers, with some resultant strikes and lockouts. "Our chief reliance Is on the force of public opinion," he said. "We know that to take away the blue eagle is a more severe penalty than any puny fine. It is, we think, enough, but if It should prove not enough, there are plenty of penalties penal-ties in the law. "In stating this plan we have been accused of Inciting a boycott Of course, what people are doing is not a boycott No willing employer who complies with this great national purpose can live in competition with a chiseler who does not. The whole Idea is based on unanimous agreement agree-ment and action. It Is for the benefit bene-fit of the American people. It Is their plan or It Is nothing. "It cannot last a month If a few unwilling or cheating employers are permitted (by the advantage of lower low-er costs) to ruin the business of their willing and honest competitors." out a large rural vote to offset that of the wet cities and towns. Even though prohibition should be repealed this year Vermont would continue without hard liquor under its present state law. Beer and wine of 3-2 alcoholic content were authorized by the legislature this year, but a state enforcement act prevents anything stronger. - Forma) ratification of the repeal amendment was completed by the state conventions of Arizona and Nevada, Ne-vada, the vote in each case being unanimous. TWO deaths marred the otherwise successful international air races held at Glenview, a Chicago suburb. Roy Liggett of Omaha was killed when his plane fell from an altitude of 200 feet at the start of a race, one of the wings breaking off. Miss Florence Kllngensmith of Minneapolis, Minneapo-lis, an entry tn one of the last final races, was dashed to instant death when fabric on the right wing of her fast plane tore loose and she lost controL Jimmy Wedell of Texas, a self-made aviator, was the star of the meet for he set a new speed record for land planes. He flashed along a three kilometer course four times at an average of 305.33 miles an hour. The previous record, established by MaJ. James IL Doollttle, was 294.38 miles an hour. FIFTEEN hundred delegates to the convention of the National Federation Fed-eration of Post Office Clerks tn Chicago Chi-cago adopted a resolution urging congress con-gress to put postal employees on a 30 hour week, and a bill to bring this about probably will be introduced in the house next session by Congressman Congress-man James M.

President Roosevelt Roose-velt was handed by General Johnson John-son a number of serious problems concerning the NRA codes. Most Impor tant of these was the deadlock in the soft coal negotia tions caused chiefly by the labor union issue; and this labor la-bor problem also entered into vart-ous vart-ous other troubling disputes that probably prob-ably will have to be settled by the Presl-Presldent Presl-Presldent Green of the American Federation of Labor was determined that the provision in the automobile code, permitting employers to deal with workers on the basis of their Individual merit should not be included in any other agreement and be promised union labor be would seek tts elimination from the automobile code. Henry Ford was another problem, but it was Indicated the government would not take any Immediate action ac-tion in his case. The whole country watched Interestedly to see whether he would sign the code within the allotted time, ana when he failed to do this and said nothing about his ultimate Intentions, Johnson was besieged be-sieged with questions as to what he would do. Talking to the press in Chicago, It seemed that the administrator ad-ministrator weakened a little In this matter. He said Ford did not have to sign the code, and if he went further than Its provisions, that would be all right with the government govern-ment The NRA could intervene, he said, only If a group of Ford's employees em-ployees complained to It of unfair treatment. Johnson did reiterate his opinion that Ford would be brought to time by the force of public opinion. opin-ion. Dispatches from Detroit said a wage revision was In progress at the Ford plant No formal announcement announce-ment of this was made, but officials said It was a gradual process and that about one-fourth of the 40,000 workers had received Increases from $4 to $4.80 a day. The code specifies speci-fies a 43-cent-an-hour minimum wage for the Detroit area. It also specifies speci-fies a 85-hour week, while Ford employees em-ployees who are on full time work five eight-hour days a week. pEVERTINQ to the union labor problem, it is interesting to note that Henry L. Harriman. president pres-ident of the United States Chamber pf Commerce, has Issued to ail its members an appeal to stand firmly In defense of the open shop and In opposition to an Interpretation f the labor clauses In the national recovery re-covery act which, he says, would be writing into law a mandate for a closed shop. President Harriman asserted that employers throughout the United State had shown a splendid, spirit of co-operation In preparing and adopting codes of fair competition. In return, he declared, industry should be given adequate assurance that the recovery program is not to be turned Into a vehicle for forcing forc-ing the closed shop on the country. VERMONT, which was one of the few states that the prohibitionists prohibition-ists really thought might vote against repeal of the Eighteenth amendment disappointed them by going for repeal by a vote of more than 2 to L This despite the fact that election day was fair and the hopes of the drys were based largely on good weather that would bring Joseph Paul-Boncour HAT to do with the Jews is a question that a German Nazi commissioner has been studying, and his report declares Germany must begin international negotiations negotia-tions to help find and set aside a new country, larger than Palestine, where Jews from all parts of the world shall be settled. The report says in part : "It Is of Interest to the whole world that the Jewish problem should be settled once and for all, since Jews will remain centers of unrest constantly creating secret societies which tend toward Bolshevism. Bol-shevism. To scatter the Jews In all directions will not help. Itls best to afford them the possibility of forming a nation, settled In one country. Then they will no longer long-er wander restlessly through the world." The expert who made the report calculates that 1,800,000 persons should leave Germany to achieve his Ideal. This number includes 600,- 000 Jews, GOO.OOO Jews who adopted the Christian faith, and an approxi mate 600,000 descendants of mixed marriages. Nazi German Christians dominated the Prussian church synod in Berlin and pushed througth 20 motions, in cluding one barring non-Aryans or persons marrying non-Aryans from the pulpit and from church offices. Cases in which special services in behalf of the church can be proved were exempted from the non-Aryan rule.

Dispatches from Paris say the league officials are losing confidence in the new police as a result re-sult of a campaign against It by the left press, the assertion as-sertion being made that It Is fast fall ing under the Influence of the German Ger-man Nazis. Therefore the gendarmerie gen-darmerie may be dissolved, although to do this and again charge French troops with the maintenance of order or-der would probably increase the Nazi strength in the Saar. Speaking at the dedication of a monument to Arlstide Brland, French Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour attacked the recent Nazi demonstrations at the Nleder-wald Nleder-wald monument near the French frontier and declared In so many words that France was not Intimidated. Intimi-dated. He said the situation would be grave "if our patience was born of a knowledge of our weakness. But that is not so, for France knows she Is strong enough to resist violence. vio-lence.
