"Only One Warship for Each 10 Miles in Cuba," Sneers Roosevelt Aide

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 19.-

"Cuba has a coastline of 300 miles. Thirty warships for 300 miles means only one warship for 10 miles of coast. That's not much, is it?"

So answered Stephen Early, a secretary of President Roosevelt, yesterday, when a delegation of seven Negro and white workers of the Washington Committee for the U. S. Congress Against War came to protest to the present against the intervention of the United States in Cuba.

Early said Roosevelt was "running a fever" and could not see the delegation.
