NO PARCEL POST II
1 S. FROM GERMANY
(Associated Press)
BERLIN, Nov. 12. The suspension
of the parcels post service from Ger
many to America is explained in of
ficial circles as having been due to the
fact that the Holland-American line
informed the German authorities it
was unable longer to carry parcels,
owing to the interference by the
British. Other steamship lines are
unwilling, for the same reason, to car
ry parcels.
Parcel post traffic from the United
States to Germany, however, has not
been interrupted. This is interpreted
here as indicating that the British re
frain from seizing these parcels owing
to possible complications with Wash
ington. Hill SAT ZE
II OF 3 MILE
i
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. British
authorities here investigating the re
ported forcible search of the Ameri
can steamer Zealandia at Progresa,
Mex., by- a party from a British cruiser
have information which leads them to
"believe that the Zealandia when
searched was lying more than three
miles off shore and was therefore
not in a neutral port but on the high
seas. They are investigating further
and the State Department is making
inquiries.
Latest information to British
sources is that the Zealandia which
has been suspected of being engaged
in unneutral operations since she
cleared mysteriously from Pensacola,
Fla., last month, was intending to go
from the dexican port to Sweden. Snt
carried rosin, which is used for mak
ing shrapnel.

OLD WINES REVIVED BY THE
ARRIVAL HERE OF GERALD CUDAHY
(By B. F. Fly)'
"I have spent the last cou
ple of weeks on my ranch
near -Mexican," said Gerald
Cudahy, "and b have heard
no word of complaint from
anybody against Governor
Cantu.
"The fact of the matter is:
Americans residing on the
Mexican side are treated with
generous consideration by
governor of Lower Califor
nia. We are not meddling in
their affairs and the Mexi
cans under Governor Cantu
are not troubling us in the
least. Personally, I will be
perfectly satisfied if condi
tions remain just as they are,
so far as Lower California is
concerned."
Mr, Cudahy is the younger
son of the late John Cudahy,
multi-millionaire packer of
Chicago. He owns a 16,000
acre ranch near Mexicali,
about 2,000 acres being plant
ed to long staple (Durango)
cotton, now worth in the
neighborhood of 20 cents per
pound. Inasmuch as the land
produces about a bale per
acre, it can be seen that Mr.
Cudahy will have several
dollars to add to his bank ac
count. Mr. Cudahy is intensely interested
in raising cotton, so much so that he
made this special trip to Yuma in or
der to visit the government experi
ment farm at Bard, where he was a
guest of Superintendent Blair from
yesterday morning until 'today at noon,
studying the different methods of cul
tivation as well as the different kinds
of cotton. He was delighted not only
with the courtesies shown him by Mr.
Blair and his corps of experts, but
more so with what he learned.
- He says Supt. Blair is doing a grand
work for this entire section.
Twenty-five years ago, 1 knew Mr.
Cudahy's father and "Uncle Mike" in
timately. These two sturdy Irishmen,
together with John Shea, landed in
Chicago direct from Ireland, all of
them practically penniless. John Cu
dahy obtained work in the Chicago
stock yards, but Mike and the other
John went on to Milwaukee, where
they obtained work as cart drivers at
a packing house in the town that Mr.
Schlitz made famous.
Years crept along. Mike joined his
brother John in Chicago and, being of
a saving turn of mind, they eventually
set up the famous Cudahy Bros. Pack
ing House, and made money by the
millions.
John Shea remained in Milwaukee
and eventually became worth millions
through establishing a line of steam
ers for lake trade.
And still the years came and went.
Capt. Shea married, and his beauti
ful daughter, Alice, married Judge W.
J. Bulger, who was associate prosecu
ting attorney of Chicago with me in
1889, '90 and '91. Because of this fam
ily connection, it was often my plea
sure to meet the two elder Cudahys
at their homes and at Judge Bulger's,
together with Capt. Shea, and the only
sore spot left was the fact that all
of them know the value of two-pair
better than I did.
Young Cudahy and his brother, Jack,
were then in their knee breeches.
They have learned the art of making
and saving money, just as did their
honored father. I'm sorry I can't say
as much for myself, particularly the
saving part.
