TRAIN TRAVEL INCREASES.
Lower Passenger Rate Produces More
Traffic.

Omaha, April 8-Preliminary re-
ports of the Nebraska railroads for
March indicate increased earnings,
although for three weeks of the month
the roads were operated under the q
cent passenger rate. According to ar
official of the Union Pacific the pas.
senger earnings of this road have
shown an increase, week by week, for
the last five years, including the

been no abnormal increase and no fall,

WEARY OF CONTINUAL WAR
Conservative Central Americans Anx-
Ious for Peace.

Washington, April 8.-The war be-
tween Honduras and Nicaragua, ac-
cording to Federico Mejia, the new
Salvadorean minister to the United
States, will likely be settled without
embroiling other Central American
republics. Senior Mejia said:
1t Is highly to the interests of the
republics Of Salvador, Costa Rica and
Guatemala that peace should be
brought about as soon as possible In
order to avoid the chance that the war
may be extended into their respective
domains.
ITO that end the representatives OF
these countries here will do all they
can. Meanwhile those countries have
found 1t cxpedient to mobilize troops
on their respective frontiers. When |
left home Salvador had about $500
men on the border, though 1t would
be possible to increase that number
to $4,000.
Even though Salvador, Costa Rfca
and Guatemala are not directly en-
gagged in the war they necessarily
suffer as long as the war continues.
Their commerce is destroyed to a
large extent Business must be dor
mant for the time being. Communi-
cation must be interrupted. The peo-
pie are thrown into unrest.
''The conservative people OF Cen.
trail America are tired Of these wars,
which have continued for half a cen,
tury. They realize that IL all the
money that has been spent for slaugh.
ter and the satisfaction Of the selfish
ambitions of some individuals DURING
that time had been turned to the
building of good roads. schools and
other instrumentalities of civilization
Central America would probably com
prise one united, prosperous and
happy nation today"
