to holders Of bonds against the activities Of those who
seek 70 induce holders to part with their bonds. The de-
sire Of the government is that the purchasers Of these
honds shall. 30 far as possible. remain possessors Of them
until their maturity. Obviously It would not do to make
the bonds non-transferable. because that would prevent
their sale. even for a legitimate purpose. and there are
many occasions on which it is both proper and necessary
for the owner Of a bond to sell it. The case Of an unex-
pected illness in the family is but one illustration Of a
when spectators suggest and encourage the sale Of bonds,
and then on the strength Of the desire thus created, buy
at prices for below the actual value Of the securities. the
credit Of the government is impaired. and many thousands
OF people, mostly those who cannot afford a loss. are
fleeced out Of At least a part Of the value Of securities
which are actually worth their full face value.
It is not easy to think Of \ plan which would prevent
this. The bonds must be made salcable, otherwise they
would not be desirable. II they can be- sold it cannot be
made a crime to buy them. The government cannot very
well fix d price at which individuals shall buy and sell
from and to each other.
mittees in placing the bonds in the first place. and in hav-
ling accepted by the individuals the estimates made Of the
investments which individuals shAuld make leads one to
suppose that if it had been undertaken in time perhaps
there might have been worked out a plan whereby these
same committees, or others OF like nature, acting as con-
posed sale of bonds, and, If the sale were deemed proper
and necessary, would undertake to find a purchaser for
that particular lot at par.

War Looms III South America
AS Costa Rica Mobilixes Army

Washington. D. c., Feb. 25.-
Alarma Of war. together with plots
ana counter plots OF conquest. are
embroiling, the states Of Central
America to an extent that IL likely
to require the dispatch OF an Amer
q expeditionary force to maintain,
order unless the Job be saved for the
league Of nations.
Costa Rica is on the verge Of wal
with Nicaragua, and. according to a
dispatch received by the N~icaraguan
legation. has modified 5000 troops
under Julian Irias, premier OF MICA
ragua during the Zelaya regime, on
the NjcaraSuan frontier.
Nicaragua Ia frantic with fear OF
the threatened aggression. The re-
public has no army, no weapons, no
ammunition. It il at the mercy OF
any designing neighbor unless pro-
tected by the United States.
Nicaragua Army Disbanded.
Under the Bryan-Chamorro treaty
Of 1914, granting the United States
a canal route and naval base, NicAra-
qua disbanded its arn1y in the inter-
est Of economy and agreed to devote
the &~2,4o0,ooo received from the
United States and all other surplus
revenue to. the payment Of its debts.
Having been persuaded by the
United States to abolish national de-
tense Nicaragua will look to this
country for protection. There are
American troops in the Panama canal
zone, which. it is expected. will be
sent to Nicaragua If Costa Rica COM
mits an act Of war.
The trouble between Costa Rtea
and Nicaragua. according to Nicara-
guam officials grows out of President
Wilson refusing recognition to Fedri-
co Tinoco as president Of Costa RIGA.
Tinoco organized a revolution M
overthrow the government of Presi-
dent Gonzales in 1917.
Mr.. Wilson determined to put a
stop to coup d'etats in Latin Ameri
ca, refused to recognize Tinoco.
Relations Are Strained.
Influenced by the example Of the
United States, both Nicaragua ana
Panama have refused to recognize
Tinoco, with the result that relations
between Costa Rica and its immedi-
ate neighbors have become extreme
~ strained.
President Tinoco is said to be very
bitter toward President Chamorra OF
Nicaragua, no only because OF the
refusal to recognize his government,
but because of the prosperity that
has come to Nicaragua through it,
close relations with the United States.
Officials here also see in the Costa
| Rican mobilization results of the
work of German propagandists.

H TAX

The treasury department. very wisely speeded up
alters in connection with the new revenue law, and sent
blanks for the making Of income tax returns in ad-
aHsn scarcely be described rs taking a chance. because it
- a foresone conclusion that the president would sign
. bill. and this he has done. The making Of returns
" becomes an imperative duty on the part Of every
ltvidua1 whose income. is suhhcient to require him to
y a tax.
1t must be remembered that income blanks must be
led out by all persons whose total incomes fall within
. prescribed limits. even though because of other pro-
fdons Of the law these persons may not be required. to
y = tax. For instance, the head Of a family may have
ough persons dependent on him to exempt him from
e payment of TAI, although his total income is beyond
. prescribed exemption figure. Nevertheless, II his, in
me is large enough he must make returns thereon, and
ate what his exemptions are. If his figures are correct
II have Information on which it insists.
Az TAR as possible all persons who are known to be
receipt of incomes above the described minimum have
en- provided with blanks. This has been done. pre-
tnably, with all who made returns last year. But if
ere have been omissions, or If one whose income was
t large enough last year to require a return, and which
- been increased in the meantime is not yet on the lists,
.lure to receive a blank will not be accepted as an ex-
se for failure to make returns. Every person receiv-
: . ~sulAtent income must take steps to provide himself
tn the noceasary blank and must fill it out and forward
to tho proper revenue Office.
