r. Camilo Diaz, secretary Of the lega-
ton. has Informed The Washington
Star that Honduras has not agreed to
submit to arbitration the arbitral find
ings Of the King Of Spain on the boun-
dary dispute with Nicaragua, because
this would be equivalent to complete
ly annulling the umpire's decision.
The government of the United States
generously offers its offices to the gov
eminent Of Honduras in order to find
way Of reaching a settlement be-
tween both countries.
The Washington Evening Star. in
its edition Of a few days ago, pub
lished cablegram from Managua an
nouncing that Honduras has sent an
armed force to the Nicaragua frontier.
What has actually occurred is that
Nicaragua militarily took possession Of
the village of Las Trojes. which be-
longs to Honduras, and this act of Que
nefghbors gave room to a renewal Of
this annoying boundary question. al
though it cannot be logically deducted
from this that Honduras is not cheer
fully willing to settle this disagree
able question in accordance with the
principles of justice and right.

TRADE COMMISSION is
OBJECT OF PROTEST
q. 8. Chamber Of Commerce Re-
sents Charges Of Pronteering
Made Against Certain Interests.

Recent activities Of the Federal
Trade Commission in relation to big
business interests have drawn an en-
phatfc protest to President Wilson
from the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States. It was learned today
that the headquarters of the chamber
here has sent a letter to the Presi-
dent vigorously criticising the COM
mission and making suggestions, it is
understood, for changes in methods
and personnel.
The letter has not been made public
either by the White House or the
chamber. and White House officials
declined to discuss it in any way.
Bitter resentment against the COM
mission among some of the leading
business interests was aroused by its
report on prohteering. submitted to
the President on the basis of Treas
ury income tax returns, as well as by
the protracted investigation of the
packing industry, eliminating in a re-
port denouncing the five great pack

FOOD IN BUFFALO
LOWER THAN HERE
Washington Prices Are
Higher in Practically Every
Comparison Made.
81 ARTICLES CONSIDERED

| Food articles cost the average
housewife in Washington consider
ably more than If the same food was
purchased in Buffalo. N. z. according
to figures collected by specialists Of
the bureau of markets Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In comparing the prices in these
two cities price quotations were OBJ
tanned on thirty-seven different foed ar
weighing" system of determining an
average. it is shown that on the whole
Washington averages per cent higher
on all articles than the New York city.
This method of arriving at an average is
looked upon as the fairest In comparing
general price levels in different localities.
1t gives special consideration to those
food articles for which the greatest per-
centage Of the family food funds are
spent.
In statement given out with the
table of figures. showing the COM
PARSONS between these two cities
the bureau says:
Suffers in Comparison.
The accompanying figures show
washington to be considerably
higher than Buffalo on nearly all of
the articles for which prices were COL
lected.
In the dairy product group Wash
ington was slightly higher on butter
and cheese, with the same price pre-
vailing on the remaining three arti-
cles.
"In the fresh meat group Washing
ton was from to 35 per cent higher
chops, which were S per cent higher
in Buffalo.
Inc the cured meat group these
prices were rather inconsistent,
Washington being higher on two
articles. Buffalo on one and the same
price prevailing on one.
Higher In Breakfast Foods.
TN the flour and corn meal group
Washington was higher on yellow
corn meal, with the same price pre-
yailing on the other two articles. In
the breakfast group Washington was
slightly higher on both articles. In
the canned vegetables group Buffalo
was higher on canned peas, Washing
ton higher on canned tomatoes and
the same price prevailing on corn.
Washington was slightly higher on
both lard and vegetable fats.
In the above comparisons the arti-
cles have been considered more or
less as il they were of equal i'm
portaEce to the consumer. Certain
groups have been mentioned as being
of more Importance than others, but
no adjustment has been made on that
basis. The average family spends
much more money for certain items
than for others.
