This afipeal from the state head
quarters last r.lght found Tulsa far
past Its quota. Though the artual
campaign hs closed there will he
more addod to the total before the
er.d of the week and there is little
doubt that Tulsa county -will double
Ilb ouota of $180000.
Th rllv hu eons over the top In
splendid manner and the committee
expects more money to come In all
in fan it is not thought that
a final total can be made until the

CitT Contribute J260.000.
t rtTt Tulsa citizens have con
tributod $280000 to the cause that
'k.ono the nrotectlng mother-hand
over our hovs in France." They
h:iv contHhuted more than gener
ously. knowing to what real purpose
. the money is expended.
The quota for Tulsa county was
set at $180000. The city alone has
exceeded that amount by
and at least $SO000 is expected from
outlying districts of th rounty An-
other 0000 is expected from tne
- cltv in the next week.v
With this money In.' there Is no
doubt in the minds of the Red Cross
campaign committee but what Tulsa
county will double the quota. v At the
present rate of figuring. Is is known
that there has been' subscribed by
the county. $310000 leaving $60000
to bo raised.
The theatrical troupe completed
Its tour yesterday at noon. They gave
performances at Owasso Dawson
and Turloy. Good work was done
at Owasso and at Dawson the troupe
sold a calf Rave theanoney to the
Red Cross and gave the calf back to
the owner.
Committee Gives Thanks.
A statement from the campaign
committee follows:
"One of the most Important factors
contributing to the wonderful suc-
cess of the Red Cross campaign just
closing was the advertising used in
the papers both before and during
the drive. This advertising was pre-
pared by the Red Cross committee
and paid for by patriotic companies
and individuals of Tulsa. The peo-
ple who paid for this advertising
matter made a real contribution to
the success of the ramaign and I
wish to express to them my heart-
felt thanks in assisting the campaign.
I also wish to thank the newspapers
for their wonderful asrlstance in the

After 4he abortive revolution of

TROUBLE OVER PAPERS
Seizure of Documents of
" Minister in Havana
Causes Break.
WASHINGTON May 25.
Mexico's sudden and unex
pected suspension of diplo
matic relations with Cubn
is looked upon hero as an
indirect move against the
United States which possibly
may foreshadow a breaking
of diplomatic relations with
this country.
The underlying cause for
Mexico's action it is under-
stood here was a recent inci-
dent which Senor Fabela her
minister to Argentina while
on his way to Buenos Aires
was held up in Havana'while
his baggage was searched by
aq official' supposedly ia Cu-
ban customs inspector who it
is reported found among the
minister's effects certain
papers.
Give Cuba Free Hand.
The tjreak between Cuba and
Mexico it 1 felt disrupts pmotlo-
ally nothing but a long-standing
friendly relation. In the opinion
ot tnose in close touch with ths sub
jeci ii may actually givs Cuba a
free hand a the Mexican forgn
minister aay In his announcement.
but perhaps not In the manner sug-
gested. American agent for some time
have been reporting German agents
operating In Cuba soma of them
crossing: frequently to ha United
State as Cuban citizens or Mexlcsn
citlsens. A severance of diplomatic
relations probably would leave th
Cuban government more at liberty to
Investigate their activities.
Course Cn usual.
Tt wa said officially that the'
course of General Candide " Agullar.
foreign minister was unusual and no
official could recall a preceden' for
a suspension of diplomatic relations
which was designed to prevent a pos-
sible quarrel between two govern-
ments. The action of the Mexican
authorities appeared to be based to
some extent upon the assumption
that the Cuban government In carry
ing on the war would he compelled
to take teps to which Mexican real-
dont In Cuba would object and that
the Mexican government would be
obllgsd to support those objections If
diplomatically represented In Ha-
vana which might lead tn trouble.
One of the possibilities f the situs-
woo is iniLl suspension or aipiuiniauc
relatlqn might also follow between
Mexico and (luantcmala Costa Rica
and Nicaragua since all of these
countries nave ueeiaren war upon
Germany and Mexico's relaUon with
them are similar to those ha has
had with Cuba.
"Strike at America."
NEW YORK Msy 25 Juan Mon-
talvp Cuban minister of tho interior
who cams here recently for lils
health expressed surprise today
when Informed that Mexico had an-
nounced the breaking off of diplo-
matic relations with Cuba. A head
of the "army navy and secret police
of the island republic h said he
had received no advices of the sub-
ject hut was prepared to leave at
once for home upon recerVlng of-
ficial Information that the break had
occurred. lie said that he would
cable to president Menoeal t once.
After reading the statement of
General Atfullar Mexican minister of
foreign affairs explaining the re-
call of the Mexican diplomatic rep-
resentative In Cuba however. Mr.

.Mexico was "striking nt the United
