to the senate resolution demanding in

friendly nation which declared war on
Germany. was excluded from the peace
conference and refused admission in
the league Of nations. q partial answer
was received today through official
channels.
Ii is the text OF a recent address
made to the chamber OF deputies. by
President Tinoco. of Costa Rica. where
Ia he places the blame OF his countrys
present plight on the shoulders OF Pres

view of the situation Is as follows:
Immediately after tho armistice Of
November IL last. suspending hostile
ties between the entente and Germany.
the governments Of the larger powers
agreed that. before any total or par
tial participation was granted to other
governments In the preliminary peace
arrangements, the unanimous vote Of
the representative OF France, Great

States was necessary.
when the matter Of the repreaenta-

NOTORIOUS INJUSTICE.

In order TO correct this notorious
injustice important steps have been
taken by our foreign Office and our
ministers resident in Europe. for
which reason I abstain from any COM
nent on this matter.
Il shall confine myself merely to
stating that. II the negotiations under
taken do not bear the fruit which the
principles Of equity and our unques-
tionable rights warrant. the govern
ment has considered the steps which
should be taken with regard to the
state Of war existing between Costa
Rica and Germany so that. should the
occasion arise. relations with the
enemy may be restored separately"
The Tinoco government In Costa
Rica is revolutionary regime and. for
this reason. the United States has re-
fused to recognise it, President Tinoco
rendered valuable service to the al
lies. however, by declaring war ON
Germany. shortly after We did. and
by interning the German subjects in
his country.
He evidently intends to attempt TO
restore relations with Germany. de-
spite the fact that. officially. Costa

Washington, July lS.-The tension
which has developed in the house over
the Volstead prohibition enforcement
bill snapped tonight. The dry forces
became incensed when their plan TO
hold night session for consideration
of the bill was blocked and they
openly revoited against the kepubli-
can leaders.
Majority Leader Mondell was the
particular object of the drvs' wrath,
but Speaker Giilett also came in for
severe criticism. The trouble arose in
this way:
The drys claimed that they had an
understanding with the leaders that
the prohibition bill would be taken
up Immediately after the agriculture
bill was disposed of. Consideration
of the latter measure lasted until

move that the house resume considera-

Speaker Gillett announced that he
would recognize any member who de-
sired to move to adjourn and Mr..
Mondell made the motion, which was
carried.
WANT TO KNOW
Immediate a detachment of the dry
forces, led by Representative Cramp-
ton and Currie, of Michigan, rushed to
the majority leader, Other members
were attracted by the excitement.
Eve will not submit to being ig-
nored.' said ,Mr. Champion to Mr
Mondell. Our organization is due

II we don't get proper cooperation

You can't talk to me like that"
Mr.. Mondell snapped, and turned on

The drys vented their wrath among
themselves for a few minutes and then
Representatives Champion and Currie
left the hall. uttering threats of dire
and sundry things against the Repub-

Mr.. Monden explained that the

NEW YORK TO PARISIANS

Brooklyn bridge. City Hall. Central
Park, and several other choice bits
of property were being sold to
shrewd French business men by
Philip Bender, an American soldier.
who is now in the Lo Roquette
prison. Paris.
The story of Eender's exploits has
Just come to this country with the
arrival Of John w. Kehoe from
France, where he served as super
intendent of the knights Of Column
bus hospital work In Paris.
Bender, according to Mr.. Kehoe.
was known to the French capitalists
as M'siuer Bendaire. He would
change his buck private uniform
and don that of a major. and meet
the biggest financiers In France.
He sold everything in Paris. ex-
cept the government seat" said Mr..
Kehoe.
The climax of his operations
came when he borrowed $4,000
francs from prominent Paris bank
ers to obtain an option on the Paris
subway system. which he told them
an American syndicate would pay.
Finally, the French became
aware OF his game. Three times
he was caught and escaped. He
was finally trapped in the home OF
his sweetheart. When he gave
himself up. he wore his uniform of
a buck private. and it took an
hours persuasion on his part to
convince the authorities that he
was the swindler.
When jailed he had 100000
francs TO his credit in French
banks. Bender was then sentenced

Circumvents British Seiz-
ure of Domination Of
European Markets and
Solves Serious Problem
By WARWICK THOMPSON

Paris, July lS.-Amercan consuls
throughout Europe, according to a
semi official source, received instruc-
tons from Washington during the last
forty eight hours to remove all trade
barriers between the United States
and Germany. Presidential orders
experimenting those instructions are
expected to follow shortly.
This solves precarious problem In
the eleventh hour. for England was
In = fair way to seize the domination
OF the European markets. especially
those OF Germany. She had already
established consulates at the princi-
pal German ports and had taken an
economic foothold in other countries
where America has not yet any repre-
sentatfves.
France. too, is rapidly putting her
European trade relations on a peace
basis French and British consuls
have been Fastening in all directions
to take up the threads of trade where
they left OF ave years ago and estab-
lfsh new posts. while America was ap-
parently standing by idly. Consider
able alarm had seized American
quarters here.
The argument that ratification of
the peace treaty must be awaited did
ASA AVN "0kCls SiHGc neither Etit1lEi
nor France are letting the fact that
their perliaments have not yet ratified
the document interfere with their re-
sumption OF trade relations with the
enemy countries.

case In point is that of three
American ships recently arrived al.
Hamburg. two loaded with food for
relief. the third with cotton for
Czecho -Slavia-'
While these three American ships
were held up, British vessels were
fitting In and out of Hamburg carry
ing on brisk trade, because the
British foreign office had the fore
sight OF getting enough consular
agents '.on the job simultaneously
with the lifting OF the blockade.
We had no consuls there, so the
ships were held up until Herbert C.
Hoover finally acted by providing the
necessary documents to clear the two
food ships. The cotton ship. however.
is still held up. and will probably re-
main there until proper action is taken
by the state department, as now seems
assured by the reported instructions
from Washington.
The idea that Germany il stocked

ready to mood the worlds markets is

would never have given up 1850 ,ooo.-
