(AP)-NVw Instruct ions have been Issued by the min istry of f inn nee to German cust oms officers In frontier towns to facilitate tourist and other inter national travel as much as possible. Not only Is there abandoned the practice which obtained during the first years after the war, by which every traveler must leave the railway coach with his bag gage ut the frontier und submit to a careful inspytioiu of his be longings, but tin? officers have been told merely to require the occasional opening of a trunk by way of making a test. Transit passengerH who ure merely crossing Germany are not to be molested at. alt. Through out the customs officials are to be polite and accommodating. The German section of the In ternatioual Hotel Keepers' Feder at ion has issued an appeal to Its members to send In good photo graphs of Gernwin points of in terest, so that these may be used for American advertisements.

Genera) Jo.se Mfgue) Gomez, the iberal presidential candidate, and when the latter was elected, he an- pointed Machado brigadier general , and second chief of th Cuban standing army, creating ufterward for his special benefit, the office of inspector general of the armed forced of the republic. President Gomez then uppointed Machado secretary of the interior. a post which he held for two years, solving many difficult problems. miiong which was the negro rebel lion. The racial question led him to re sign the secretaryship und devote himself to organizing a great na tural party, which he deemed necessary at that critical period of the republic's history. The Lib'ial 1'nlonist party was the result. In I : 1 2 many of his followers were ! elected to congress una provincial government offices, he being the un-Kuc-'essful candidate for gover nor of the province of Havana. When the Li b e ra Is be en m e re -united in lDWi, General Machado labored especially for the success of the vice presidential candidate, Colone Mendieta; supported by Orestes Kerrera and other uncon ditional partisans of General Go mez. After the election, disastrous so far as the Liberals were concer n ed, General Machado was invited to rise up In urms against the gov ernment, but the troops failed him and he had to start the movement with prominent civilians of Santa Clara, among whom was Mend eg Penate. The revolutionary move ment was defeated; and General Machado was Imprisoned at Camp Columbia until summoned before a court martial and released. When General Gomez went to (he United Stales shortly after m'O he asked General Machado to protect the Interests of the Liberal parly, and Machado proved himself worthy of this confidence. H' per sonally directed all the activities of tli; purty, and to him was due the winning of five provincial gov ernorships. He abandoned his busi ness and opened the way for his recent triumph as presidential can didate.
