NOT TINE To RIFE
Chance to Intervene in Central Ameri.
Troubles not Yet at Hand

Washington, March 28.-The NOM
ent has not yet arrived VIXEN America
and Mexico can intervene TO stop the
spread of war in Central America. This
was the decision arrived as the result
of a conference between. Secretary
Root and Ambassador Creel at the
state department today. The ~secretar!
also had the benefit of the advices re-
ceived by the diplomatic representa-
tlves OF the Central American states
from their w governments.
The absence of definite information
from the scene of the trouble is en-
barrasSing to the officials who are de-
sirous of bringing about peace. II is
feared that h collapse of the Bonilla
government in Honduras. and the con-
sequent installation OF the provisional
government in accord with that OF Mic
aragua. will result in a combined at
tack by them upon other Central Amer
lean republics. The apprehension of
such a movement has greatly alarmed
all of the other states.
1t is said that there is no disDosition
on the part of this government TO plav
the part Of a policeman toward tbesa
sister republics but il would welcome
any proper opportunity TO restore
peace.
