NICARAGUA IN
APPEAL FOR AID
FROM THE ]. s.

WASHINGTON. June s.-Nicarasua
hos asked the United States to land
rorccs there to cope with threatened
Invasion from Costa Rica-. The state

alton. .,.,,.
This is the Nicaraguan Iegauons
statement in part:
Notwithstanding that the revolution

General Tinoco has been massing Dig

Iarpc trains Of ammunitions and sup
niles Of all kinds. 1t is known that nt
has about 5000 men under arms WIN
whom he expects to invade NicAraeua
ar else start a revolution in tha'
country.
NICARAGUA, in accord with the imam
cial plan suggested by the United states
government, is on her reconstructio"
period after IT years or the 1e's1s
regime. It has adopted a strictly econ.
omic budget by which the government,
can have under arms only 900 men, ans
has no war budget.
we believe that the time has arriVeo
when the United States will, in view o:
the friendly attitude that Hicaraeuh
has maintained with the United states
in giving this country the option for
building the canal through Nicaragua
and for the cession Of the two naval
bases and also bearing
in mind that Nicara qua entered the war
against Germany in harmcNy with the
United States and TO aid the allies ~
every way in its power, should take
hand to rrotect Nicaragua against ne:
foreign foes.
The presence Of . hostile army on
our border, composed In part. at least OF
men Of our country. who are openly
opposed to our government. Is cnstant
menace TO the peace OF NICARAGUA. In
accordance with the plan by which the
United states gives us friendly advice
VIC think that the United States should
rive us in this emergency the moral and
material protection Of a sufficient guard
on our frontier TO prevent an invasion.

at the southern end Of Manhattan. The
paper drifted over Battery Park before
the wind, and the scene was Identical
with that in downtown New York during
the arm stice celebrations-the real and
the phoney.
Every Pier IL Crowded.
Every pier on both the Manhattan and
Jersey sides OF the river was crowded
with shouting. cheering people. many OF
whom were waving flags. The tumult
broke out on all ferryboats that passed
anywhere near the transport. and every
outburst brought an answering one from
the ship.
Conditions for docking could not have
been more favorable. The tide was on
the flood and nearly full. The Leviathan
turned slowly as she breasted her pier,
but the de was running up river 30
strongly that she was carried by for a
short distance. The navy tugs quickly
came to her side. and she pointed her
Prov toward the dock and eased into her
berth.
Contrary to early reports, neither
Mayor Hylan nor members of Gen.
Organs family boarded the ship down
the bay. The Patrol headed for the
Jersey shore as the transport entered
her dock, but the other craft in the
official welcoming fleet returned to the
Battery and discharged their passengers

This great aggregate force had cost
the Government a relatively small sum

now and we are here with real Twenty

the reception was inspiring and the men
were delighted at the enthusiasm for

very kind to us and allowed the men to
come UP on deck so that they could see
the welcoming boats and their loads OF
relatives and friends. making the only
provision that they should stand In one
