GERMANY BLAMES
u. S. In WAR MOVE
OF COSTA RICANS

Amsterdam, June 1.-THE United
States is blamed for Costa Rica's
declaration of war against Germany
by the Kolnische Nolkes Zeitung,
which says:
president Wilson will find that
at the final settlement the votes
will not be counted, but weighed,
and Costa Rica will have to ac-
count to US for all material dam
ages, even when full allowance is
made for its dependence on the
United States.
With some more backbone, Costa
Rica could have resisted America s
brutal pressure, as San Salvador
has done up to this time, although
San Salvador is only one-third OF
Costa Rica's size"
THE Costa Rican congress de-
clared war on Germany on May %,
1918. The present Costa Rican
government, headed by President
TinocO, has never been given off,
cial recognition by the American
government despite attempts TO
gain such recognition).
