Hut the iloct,..- Klti-hln ai'.l mh. i leaders indicated they 8 ion. iney luiiiiL iiul inai u was weeas .after the original drive of Germany was announced before it actually was set In motion. It was expected daily for more than 'a month. The delay continued so long that men began to believe that the dine was a bluff. The leason for the length of time consumed is now apparent in the ex tenslveness of the preparations made for It, which' surpassed anything pre viously Jlsclosed in this war. And the real basis of comparison for the coming effort of Germany is the nt tack which centered upon Amiens, not that directed at Yp.es. which, big as It was, was not so much a new offen sive as the second phase of the Amiens offensive. The new effort, when it comes, will surpass the elToit against 1 Amiens if Germany still has the re ,' sources to strike harder than she then 1 struck. So the period of preparation is iiKeiy to ne extended. Offensive Hcliearsc.l SO .Miles in Hear ' Everything about the preparation for the Amiens drive was on nn en larged scale. An offensive used to be rehearsed a few miles back of the front. The Amiens offensive was re hearsed fifty miles back of the fiont. This distance permits of the maneu vering of large bodies of men out of the usual range of air observation, and at a point where several parts of the front, along nulls of a circle, are about equidistant. The rehearsal of ine coming drive is pronaniy taking . : . , . , . . .. luuve m it-ii.sL u inr in me rear as aia the rehearsal of the Amiens move ment. The factors which will control Ger many In making the drive are these: Pollticnl p.essure at home from the people, who are lemanding to see re- suits bought by their terrific sacri fices, and the military necessity of Improving the situation of the German troops on the west front. The factors which will determine the time of the u.u u.t. i.vu .no t-iK.iiu.Mi.s m! 01 ' the -preparations necessary and the , relative speed with which the German armies nnd the Allied armies are be- ins strengthened. One of these fac- tors obviously makes for delay, the other for haste. If we knew the ( elements involved it would be pos-, sible to tell Just at what moment the drive must be made. All that Is generally agreed on Is that Germany will attack again, prob- ably In as great force as she did at Amlens, and if possible in greater force. I Military men hold that the political i rather than the military factor con-' trola in determining the necessity that rs .. i,n .... 1 . -,-- many could they sa.v, iod her present no maina .i ; rn 1 .1 lines modified nnd rennnformln tl.om here and there and await an Allied at- tack.

The Mexican Charge d'Affalres at Ha vana has been recalled by the Carranza Government, according to information reaching the State Department early today. , For some time there has been tension between the countries over 'Cuban charges of German plotting, directed from. Mexico, aimed at the destruction of the Cuban sugar crop. At the State Department It was ad mitted that Information reaching there condoned the report that Mexico had withdrawn her minister from Havana, but It was stated that there was no Information available as to the reason. The matter was one on which the de partment had nothing to make public. At the Cuban legation It was stated that there had been no omcial word re celved there as to the situation between the two countries, Officials who have been following the situation explained that the Carranza government has complained that, as a result of Cuba entering the world war on the side of the United States, Mexi can interests have been greatly ham pered and Interfered with. Commercial relations hdve been virtually cut off, and recently It Is understood that the Mex lean Government served notice that the situation was becoming Intolerable. Officials of the Government and dlplo. mats generally, were admittedly very much puzzled over the situation between Mexico and Cuba, Mexico City advices quoting officials of the Carranza Gov ernment as saying that, Inasmuch as Cuba, had entered the -war, there was no longer any benefit to Mexico through If .rii - ,,'iW;' . ,' ' . f i .....

Tho national war board by whatever name it may be known i of each organization, then decides what amount is necessary, to do the work assigned to it by the Government, and asks the country, as a whole for that sum. Each State and large city is given its proper quota, based upon -" its population, banking resources, etc. The only function of the ; War Chest Hoard, therefore, is to determine that the quota assigned-" to the five counties is in just proportion to the total amount to be raised. No part of tho fund goes to any of the general work of these'5" organizations, hut it is applied wholly to war work approved by the -A. united .Mates iiovernment. , There are, of course, a number of necessary local relief bodies, 5 but they will require much smaller sums.
