BY ANTHONY CEARNECKL jence of The Btar and News.) *HAVANA, Cuba, May 15.—Various organizations that are rendering valuable service in the United States long the llnes of education, soclal eryice and general humanitarianism have established themselves in Cuba and are rendering the same sort of service to the people of this island. The object of all of them, in addition to benefiting the people here, is to foster closer relations and a better understanding between Cuba and the United States. All three of the great organizations that rendered such valuable services to American soldlers during the world war—the Young Men's Christian As- Socigtion, the Knights of Columbus and the Salvation Army—have Cuba headquarters and various branches and are following definite lines of policy and activity. The vast ma- Jority of Cubans being Catholics, the Knights of Columbus in coming here have entered a vast, rich fleld.

Raleigh Type Not Heeded. As an offset to the British ships of the Raleigh class American naval officers made an effort to convince Congress of the necessity of keeping virtually all of the United States destroyers in com- mission. Members of the naval committees pointed out that this plan would enable America to outnumber Britain and France in destroyers. In this calculation, however, no heed was taken of the Ralelgh type of British cruiser, of which the United States at present For the Attention of Investors Must be sold within the next ten days.

By Wireloss to The Star and Chicago Datly News. BmLIN May 27.—Governments, municipalities, hotel proprietors, barkeepers and ticket scalpers throughout Germany have united in denying the charge that they are fleecing American visitors to Germany this year. “How can you say s0!" “Ab- solutely ridiculous!” ‘e never dreamed of it!” “You hurt the feeling of honest people! These are some of the exclama- tory comments made in reply to storles in the newspapers that American tourists deeply resent being made to pay twice as much as_other foreigners pay.
