made concerning the conference.
1t is understood that the American
delegation is unyielding in it's posi-
tion concerning Fiume.
Sonnino Is Blamed.
ROME. Wednesday. May 1.-THE
Osservatore Romano. in an article,
apparently inspired by the Vatican,
says that Baron Sonnino, the Italian
foreign minister, is chiefly responsible
for the gravity of the situation over
the Adriatic question, because he was
the author Of the pact OF London,
which assigned Fiume to Croatia.
1T is not true" the newspaper says.
that Russia demanded that Fiume be
reserved for Serbia. but. even if that
were so. Sonnino. who remained in
power throughout the war. should
have had the treaty changed when
Russia collapsed and when nothing
would have been denied to Italy"
The Osservatore Romano thinks
that Baron Sonnino only was anxious
to maintain article Nv of the London
pact, which prevented the participa-
tion of the Pope in the peace confer
-ence. which. it adds. was IAN odious
offense to the holy see

Cites Break With Germany.

Or Lara called attention to the fact
the government of President Tinoco and
the Costa Rican people had broken with
Germany the day after the United States
declared war with that empire, and that
they had been most friendly to the
United States.
My government has always tried and
has always been an excellent friend OF
the people of the United States,' he
added "A further proof of this is that
the American colony is unanimously in
favor of the government of President
Tinoco. 1t does not matter that the
Tinoco government is not recognized.
that its belligerency is ignored and that
it is excluded from the league Of ma
tions. Our aim will always be lofty and
high in the fulfillment of justice"

two or three pernicious foreigners
OF fifty Costa Ricans who voluntarily
went to Nicaragua. thirty returned 10
their country. 1t is ridiculous to think
that the twenty remaining in Nlcara-
qua could constitute an invading
force The facts are that six or eight
hundred Nicaraguans. inspired and
abetted nv the government of Mica
ragua, tried to go against a country
like mine that has never done any
harm to their government.
DR.. Lara said that the government
of Nicaragua was aware that only
twenty Costa Ricans were in Nicara-
qua, and also that about 1000 Mica
raguans exiled from Nicaragua were
in Costa Rica. who were desirous of
attacking the regime in Nicaragua,
but the Tinoco government of Costa
Rica had never given this large group
of enemies of the Nicaraguan govern
ment any announcement

DENIES EX|LES WILL
INVADE COSTA RIGA
Dr.. Carlos Lara Discusses
i Reported Invasion From
I Nicaraguan Territory.

Positive denial that the reported
plans for an invasion of Costa Rica
from Nicaraguan territory contem-
plated a large invading force COM
posed of exiled Costa Ricans was
made In an interview today by DR..
Carlos Lara, confidential agent in
Washington of the Tinoco govern
ment of Costa Rica. He charged that
Nicaragua was acting in bad faith
against Costa Rica, which had alweys
been friendly. by permitting this in
vading force to he organized and that
there are six to eight hundred Mica
raguans involved in the invading
force and about 20 Costa R1cans. =,
THE government of Costa Rica,
said DR.. Lara. has been Informed
that within the last few days an IN
vasion of Costa Rican territory has
been organized publicly and openly
in the republic of Nicaragua and with
the consent and support of that gov
eminent. without the least semblance
of right to justify this action.
Dr. Lara said that reports that the
invading force was composed of costa
Ricans exiled by President I1noco
were absolutely false.

A CORRECTION

The attention of the Board of Trus
tees of Bethel Woman's College has
been called to a communication re-
ceived by certain merchants object
ing to the statement contained in do
mated advertisements of our institu-
ton to the effect that Bethel Wo-
mans College claimed to be the only
Standard Junior Woman's College in
this section.
1t is but fair to those merchants,
to the directors and to this board to
state that the copy for those adver-
tisements was furnished the said
firms by our board and that the word
''Baptist" was Internationally omit
ed from the copy. The statement
should have read "The Only Standard
Junior Baptist Womans College" We
trust that this explanation will be
accepted as satisfactory, and as evi-
dencing no desire on the part OF
either the enterprising firms, nor Of
this way to in any way reflect upon
any other college or colleges.
