WAR IN CENTRAL
AMERICA AVERTED

SUBMIT QUARREL TO,
WASHINGTON.
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Nicaragua
and Honduras have averted their
threatened armed clash over a long
standing boundary dispute by agree
ing at the request OF the United
States, to withdrawal of all troops
from their borders and submit the
controversy to the United States
through their ministers in Washing
ton.
1t became known today that the
presidents of the two Central Amer
lean republics a week ago accepted
an invitation from the government
here to adopt this solution of their
differences.
A decision OF the King of Spain,
who had been asked to arbitrate,
failed to satisfy Nicaragua, and sew
eral weeks ago Nicaraguan troops
were sent to the border to enforce
claims to territory involved.
Recent dispatches from Salvador
telling OF renewed prospects of trou-

on old information. State depart

neither side has violated the agree
ment for withdrawal of troops.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The long

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Minor
differences between senate and
house conferees on the man-power
bill were cleared away today and
the measure with the senate work or
fight amendment eliminated, was
prepared for final congressional ac-
ton.
After Provost Marshal General
Crowder had explained that new in

istrantS be not required to make or

Senator Wadsworth's amendment
extending the draft to the navy and

General Crowder explained that
the PenrcSe amendment would seri-
ously interfere with plans for the
new registration by preventing the
use OF millions OF blanks already
printed.
The conferees also eliminated to-
day the amendment Of Senator

able for that sort of resistance, such
as the terrain around Roye, it
gained some time for the enemy, en-
abllng him to move a great many
guns and considerable part of his
material behind the Canal du Nord
and north of Noyon.
But once this system of fighting
was mastered, the strength of the
German rear guard dwindled to al
most nothing. The Germans hus-
tied violently by the French advance
guard were obliged to risk an en-
gagement with important forces +
to quicken their retreat.
Adopted Latter Plan.
The Germans adopted the latter
plan, and since yesterday morning
they have been making all possible
haste on the road leading to St.
Quentin. La Fere and the Hinden-
burg line.
The strong position of Quesny
wood, just west of the Canal du
Nord, from which the Germans tried
by means OF the heavy fire of all
calibres of artillery to check the
French troops advancing on both
sides of the Roye-Noyon road, was
captured this morning.
