CALL SENT TO UNCLE SAM
American Government Urged to Land
Marines to Cope with the Threat
ened Invasion Of Territory by Bor-
der Republic. ,.AI,

Washington, ID. C.-Nicaragua has
Lsked the United States to land forces
there to cope with a threatened in
vasion from Costa RIGA. The state
department is investigating the situa-
ton.
The Nicaraguan legation here, in q
statement, declares that following the
collapse of the revolution In Costa
Rica. President Tinoco has massed
large forces on the frontier.
Tinoco, whose brother. as minister
of war, is at the head Of the Costa
Rican army in the field, has charged
that the Nicaraguans aided the revo
lutionists. The N~icaraguans have de-.
MED the charge and cited that it was
the liberty party in Nicaragua, mem
bers Of the old Zelaya regime. that
went over to Tinoco.
Text Of Statement.
This is the N~icaraguan legations
statement:
Notwithstanding that the revolu.
ton in Costa RIGA which started about
one month ago has come to an end,
that the defeated revolutionists who
crossed the Nicaraguan border were
disarmed by the frontier patrol, that
the government OF Nicaragua has
maintained strict neutrality from the
beginning of the revolution and has
emphaticaily denied having given any
aid to the revolutionists, Gen. Tinoco
has been massing a big army IN the
frontier OF Nicaragua with large
trains OF ammunition and supplies Of
all kinds. 1t is known that he has in
the department Of Guanacaste, and not
far from the frontier, about o,Uvv men
under arms with whom he expects to
invade Nicaragua or else start a revo-
luton in that country headed by Gen.
Irias. formerly premier under Zelaya,
Gems. Sediles, Santos Basa Usaga and
other Nicaraguan generals opposed to
the present government of Gen. Cham
orc.
Work OF Reconstruction.
Nicaragua, In accord with the fnan-
cial plan suggested the United States
government, has begun measures for
reconstruction after IL years OF the
Zelaya regime. II has adopted a
strictly economic budget by which the
government can have under arms only
500 men and has no war budget. The
people OF Nicaragua have no com
plant at having followed the friendly
suggestion OF the United States. as
at the end Of the last economic year
there was a surplus of $500. 900. and it
10 expected that at the end of the
present year there will be a surplus
OF 81, 0 900.
1--WE believe that the time has ar
rived when the United States, In view
OF the friendly attitude that Nicaragua
has maintained with the United
States in giving this country the o.
ton for building the canal through
Nicaragua and for the cession OF the
two naval bases, one on the Gulf OF
Fonssca and the other on the islands
OF the Atlantic, and also bearing in
mind that Nicaragua entered the war
against Germany In harmony with the
United States and to aid the allies in
every way in its power, should take a
hand to protect Nicaragua against her
foreign foes"
