RIGA also has protested because part

Their objections against the pact are
mainly founded on the naval positions

the plan would be an obstacle to their
dream of a Central American union.
While the American government and

lie the finances of the republic became
the subject of discussion with private
individuals. Without aid in the adj
of customs and in the re-

country would again fall into anarchy.
Early in 1912 loan of more than S.

ing interests. Nicaragua, at the sug-
gestfon of the bankers, placed G. D.
Ham, formerly collector of customs at
Manila, in charge of the administra-

system was elaborated and $6,OOO,OOO
in paper pesos were burned. The gold

An American soldier of fortune
throws some light on this, saying: ION
our side it was the practice to press
into our army all able-bOdied males
from the age of ten up, even if we had
to lassO them. The other side did the
same. No time was wasted on drilling
the poor fellows. They were simply
armed with Mauser rifles and strings
of cartridges and were sent into ac-
ton to do the best they could. 1t was
a wonder to me, in the circumstances,
that the men fought so we'll. Both
officers and men showed great fOrti-
tude and bravery in the face of fire,

battle bravery of the Japanese"

Exceptional difficulties have been

the remarkable industrial activity Of
the country, recruiting has been, since
the increase was authorized, at very
