GUATEMALA
The Peculiar Reception That
Was Given Secretary of
State Knox
MASSACRE OF Is CADETS
Followed by Execution Of Five
Hundred Independent
Citizens.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Guatemala City, Guatemala, April
Guatemala has not been especial
ly punctilious in observing it's obliga-
tions under the Central American
peace pact of 1907, and only recently
Salvador had occasion to complain
and invite the good offices of the
American State Department to secure
her territorial rights against Guate-
malan aggression.
Mr.. Knox evidently had this in mind
when he delivered his formal address
at the Presidents dinner. 1t must
have required some courage after the
kingly style in which he had been
entertained, and surrounded by meli
who appeared to draw their breath by
sufferance of the host, for the Secre-
tary to stand up and declare in Ian
guage that could not be misunder-
stood that the strict adherence of
Guatemala to the Washington cOnven-
tions was inseparable from any hope
Of future prosperity, advancement and
peace mr. conventions provide
that disputes - five repub-
lies shall be submit, the peace
tribunal at Carriage; that no govern
ment shall invade the territory of an
other. or permit within their own
boundaries the outfitting of revolution
airy expeditions against a sister re-
public The Secretary said in part:
"Guatemala in its position of close
proximity to the United States, where
there is ever ready an eager market
for its products, and with it's dense
population occupies indeed an envia-
BILE position among the Central Ameri-
can nations. This position will be
rendered increasingly desirable as
time goes on and the development OF
your countrys enormous possibilities
is accomplished. And Mr.. President.

ship of the government of the United

From the very inception of, and even

Pied Piper is Wanted
"Wanted-A Pied Piper"

"Wanted-A Pied Piper"
From the Health Department
has gone out an appeal, but of
similar import. The city is pre-
pairing to wage war o, extermi-
ton upon all rats within its bor-
der.
To headquarters of the United
States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service in Washington,
the appeal has been sent by
Health Commissioner Bosley. He
requests the services of an expert
rat catcher, who will come to
Baltimore and give his advice as
to the best means of starting and
carrying on a war on rodents.
1t is to be a real campaign of
determination and the Health
Department wishes the active CO.
operation of householders.
The cause of the activity is the
existence of bubonic plague in
Porto Rico and Cuba, which is
spread by rats. Both these is
la nds' ships come to Baltimore,
and where there are ships there
are generally rats. Comparative
lily few ships are coming at
this time from the West Indies to
Baltimore, but Bosley is taking
no chances. The first anti-rat
crusade will start with an attack
along the water front. Care will
be taken that no rats are allowed
to land from incoming vessels.
Il sent for a man from the
Marine Hospital Service" said
DR.. Bosley, because the service
has men who have had expert
ence in handling such situations.
The Health Department wants to
rid the city of rats which destroy
millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty. San Francisco accomo-
lished such a task, but it took
two or three years."
