MANAGUA, March 27.-Following the
appeal of Salvador TO Mexico to in
tervene to end the war in Central
America it Is expected Honduras will
make a similar plea, either TO the United

the war to a speedy termination.
President Bonilla. after the numerous
defeats Of his land forces. has held out
with the sole hope that Salvador, Guate-
mala, and Costa Rica would come to
his assistance.
If the war is ended through inter

America states with President Zelaya, OF
Nicaragua, at it's head. may result.
Zelaya has worked for such an grange
ment for years The United States and
Mexico may insist upon the formation of
