OUSTED PRESIDENT ASKS
 AMERICA TO INTERVIEW

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 19.--- Alfredo Gonzales, deposed president of Costa Rica, has sent an appeal to the United States government for in- tervention. He is refugee now in the American legation at San Jose, where his former minister of war, Frederi- co Tinoco, has installed himself as provisional president after revolu- tion that was brought to successful conclusion after 12 hours, and with out bloodshed.
 Official reports of the overthrow of the Gonzalez administration afford little ground for the belief that the United States will interfere. The rev. olutionists killed no one and accord ing to reports the developments rep resented the continuation of popular demand. For almost 40 years Costa Rica has been without a revolution. and has been set forward as a model Latin-American government.

BERNIE, Switzerland, Feb. 19.- Commenting recently on the emphasis laid by Germanophile papers on th.' various restrictions and so on impos ed by the Entente on Swiss trade, the Berner Tagwacht observed that, al though complaints in this direction were we'll founded, such papers never referred at the same time to similar measure taken by the Central pow CTS. In Holland, for instance, are hundreds of casks of smoked and salted fish and quantities of Dutch cheeses waiting for exportation to Switzerland, but Germany refuses to afford any passage to these goods, and in addition she has instructed her GUS toms officials to allow the transpor- tation of all consignments of Swiss embroideries to foreign nations. A. most simultaneously Austria has pro- bibited the importation of articles of luxury including watches, embroid- cry, and chocolate, which represents Switzerland's principal exports, and the sale of which to Austria-Hungary realized the sum of 12,000,000 francs in 1915.

The manu, facture of copper anchors and tin pro pellers for ships was undertaken by a factory and in order to make them look like iron they were tarred and put on board tugs about to leave for Germany. As every tug is allowed to have on board one spare anchor the trick was successful in a number of cases. Recently a member of the Sc cret police found big tin spare pro- peller on board tug in the harbor, duly tarred over. It was, however, in- complete. and this attracted atten- tion.
