You may state that this upheaval

America. At first it will be Honduras
and Salvador against Nicaragua, but
from information we have obtained we
know Guatemala will be the ally of
Nicaragua. Whether the aid of Presi
dent Caberas country will be open OF
secret, we do not know yet. but we dc
know the country will be drawn into
