THE CUBA REVIEW 



IS 



It was expected that November would continue to show a large increase but such 

 did not prove to be case, due to the strikes which occurred last month, and as 

 there was a continuation of the strike during the present month, this condition will 

 also operate heavily against the December exports. 



DIRIGIBLE BALLOON: On the afternoon of Dec. 9th the inhabitants of Havana 

 were surprised to observe a large American dirigible balloon which maneuvered over 

 the city, attracting considerable attention because it was the first one ever seen here. 

 That night, which was a moolight one, the airship again passed repeatedly back and 

 forth over Havana and was a very pretty sight with its searchlights playing on the 

 city. The object of the visit has never been announced, although presumably it was 

 a practice trip, the dirigible coming over from Key West. 



UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN: Final results of this drive here showed 

 that instead of Cuba's original quota of $100,000, the total contributions reached the 

 sum of $278,836.36, or nearly three times the figures first cited. Cuba has oversub- 

 scribed handsomely to the different Liberty Loan drives and also has given heavily 

 to other various relief organizations of the different Allies, so it was a matter of 

 considerable satisfaction to all interested to see how generously the Island contributed 

 to this last campaign. 



Typical Cuban Highway.
