NEW YORK. September There

in time of war should Great Britain's s
enemy cut off her supply of nitrates from
Chile, according to declaration made to-
day by DIR. Samuel Eyde of Christiania,
Norway, before the eighth International

DR. Eyde. who is regarded in Europe

out of commission simply by cutting OFT
her nitrates. the essential ingredients of

cinity as sequence to the operations of
the rebels According to dispatches re-
ceived at the State Department and trans
mitted to the headquarters Of the Amer
ican Red Cross Society, many of the ma
tives are perishing because of the famine
condition. Granada is the southern ter
minus Of the railroad which runs from
Corinto to Managua.
Since the rebels have taken hold OF the
town they have appropriated almost ev-
erything in the way of food. Although
Granada is without railroad and wire
communication it has been learned from
couriers that the pOpulace is starving
while the rebel soldiers are we'll fed.
Marines to Open Communication.
Col. Pendleton and his large force Of
American marines, which arrived at Co
rinto on the cruiser California several
days ago. are expected soon to open COM
munication with Granada. A supply of
food then will be rushed to the natives.
The food is part of that authorized by
the American Red Cross Society In it's
two separate contributions of 81 600 each.
The State Department has only meager
reports of the conditions now facing
Granada Although no actual details could
be obtained it Is alleged that the State
Department is in possession of informa-
ton showing that the conditions in the
town are deplOrable.
Perishing in Streets.
Conditions were bad enough before the
revolution began because Of the failure
Of crops and the scarcity Of money. From
the small amount of information at hand
1t would appear that at Granada people
whose homes have been robbed Of food
by the rebels are perishing in the streets.
The American Red Cross headquarters
here is being kept posted by the State
Department Of the famine conditions in
Nicaragua and II, when communication
Is opened with Granada, it is found the
conditions are as bad as represented 1t ia
not doubted that the Red Cross will sup

siderably larger amounts.
