Washington, Feb. 14. German influ-

As official's view conditions to ,i, i
South of this nation, it appeared more
than likely that Germany was stirring j

As for Cuba the situation may become
such that American interference will
become necessary, though as the revolt

German Agent Suspected
In connection with the Mexican prob-

b-iu il was recalled todav that a (ler
embassy agent was' in close and
almost constant touch with the Mexican'
American neace commission when it ant!
at Atlantic City.
it is known ton that some of ( tenor-1
al t'airanza's followers have felt that I
tierman and Japanese support was with j
the constitutionalist government. While
cabinet members expressed doubt that
Hreat Britain will laud troops to pro
tect British oil interests at Tampico.
it is certain that England will not look
idly on, if arranza carries out any
plan of stopping her rich oil supply
iroiu going forward from Tampico.
In these circumstances it will be up
to the United States to take a hand
or else Kngland will undoubtedly do the
task herself. The possibility of such
foreign interference in the new world
constituted a scries of perplexing prob
