LORA DENIES THAT
 TROOPS MOBILIZED

Washington, Feb. 19.-Carlos Lara, who recently arrived in Washington as representative of the Costa -Rican government issued a statement to- night emphatically denying that Cos ta Rican troops had been mobilized on the Nicaraguan border as stated in advice sreceived b ythe Nicaraguan legation here.
 Nothing is more false," said Mir. Lara, "than the statement that Costa Rica has placed armed forces at the Nicaraguan frontier. There are no intentions on the part of Costa Rica of interfering in any way against the Nicaraguan administration. No help or aid has been given to the Nicaraguan discontents by the administration of President Tinoco, whose government trusts that precisely on account of the intimate relations between the United States and Nicaragua, the American government will not lend itself to the furthering of intrigues intending to trouble the peace of Cen tral America"

(Continued From Page One.)


 ~-~"~- lose the British empire we had be- fore the war.
 "The British people have never fall ed to do what was necessary to sate- guard the vital interests of the state. Let them beware who would rob us of the fruits, of victory, whether they are ermans or Turkish enemies abroad, or bad citizens at home.
 "There is another reason why we require to maintain large force In the present year. We have just had war with ermany. We have spent great deal of money and lost a great many of our best men in win ming the WIT, and We are going to make sure that we do not have to fight the war with ermany over agaln. We are going to take ensures which will ake it physically impossible for ern1any to begin a war of revenge, at any rate, during our lifetie. We re going to ask Gerany to agree to those measures and help us to carry them out. And after she has agreed, we going to stnd by and see that she does carry them out"
 To Use Armed Force.
 s'There is another reason why we require to maintain an army in Ger many for some time longer. We are going to make Gerany pay what is rightful and possible in reparation for the damage she has done. Both to prevent a renewal of the war, by effectually disarming Germany, and to secure reparation on which we are determined, it is necessary to maintain a strong compact, well dis ciplined army on the Rhine for some time to come. That army cannot be maintained on the voluntary basis.
 ''We are raising volunteers by ev- cry means in our power, as quickly as We can, fbut the first use we shall make of those volunteers is to re- lieve the. men maintained in India and at other far distant stations at present by compulsion, and let them come home. We cannot hold out any 'ieNpectatipn of creating and mAin- taining an army on the Rhine on any 1other basis in the present year than Ion the compulsory basis.
 4 Not Many In Russla.
 We are not keeping large forces to fight ii Russia. We have no in- otention of sending large British ar mics to- fight in Rusia If Russia Is to be saved, she must be saved by Russia. It must be by Russian man. hood, Russian courage, Russian vlr- tue that the rescue and regeneration of this onoe-mighty nation, this fla mos branch of the European family, can alone be achieved.
 "The aid which we can give to those Russian armies vho were call- ed into the field originally during the German war, to some extent by their own inspiration, and who are now engaged in fighting against the fom babboonery of Bolshevism, can be giv- en by arms, munitions and equipment, and technical services raised upo,, v voluntary basis. But Russia musy DC saved by Russian exertion, and it must be from the heart of the Rus sian people, and with strong arm that the conflict against Polshevism in Russia must be mainly waeed.
 Therefore, it is an untruthful, ma licious statement to say that it is necessary for us to prolong the action of the military services because of an enterprise which we have on foot in Russia

 In making this announcement to- night. Secretary Daniels revealed that the arrest of third naval off, cer had been ordered today. The name of this officer was not made public.
 Lieutenant Davis already has been court martialed and sentenced to three years imprisonment, but, ap- proval of this verdict is being with held, Secretary Daniels said tonight, pending the investigation of ten oth- CT charges against the officer Mir. Daniels said at the first trial the court martial recommended dismissal of Lieutenant Davis from the navy, but that he had reanded the case for further consideration because the pun ishent was not severe enough.

HE COULD NOT LIFT
 LEFT HAND TO HEAD
J. B. Woodward After Being In That Condition Two Years Is Relieved by Tanlac-Feels He Could Win Foot Race.

q feel like getting right there in the street and out-running any other man in town," said . RJ. Woodwrd, of 256 Rnd Avenue, Lexington, Ky, in telling of the remarkable benefits to be derived from the use of Tan lac.
 "For many years" he continued, 'I had suffered terribly from stomach trouble, rheumatism and neuralgia. The rheumatism was so bad for two long years that I couldn't raise my left hand up to my head Nothing I ate agreed with me, and l was al- most afraid to try to eat anything. One thing after another kept making me miserable and I hardly knew what to do for myself. You know, a man can suffer until he loses hope of getting well, and that was almost the fix I was in.
 Everybody had been praising Tan- lac so highly and so many people I know had been helped by it, that here a while back I tried it myself In two or three weeks after I started talk ing it, began to feel like a. different man. kept on using it and now my troubles are all gone My stom- ach don't bother me a bit, I can eat heartily and digest it and I can use my arms as we'll as I could before I began to suffer. My family and friends all see the great difference Tnlac has made in me and am cer- tainly glad to recommend it."

URGES BETTER PAY
FOR is. WORKERS

Declaring Government employees in
many cases work for "the merest pit
tance." and the wages paid by the
Government in many instances are to-
tally inadequate, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury E. C. Leffingwell. be-
fore a subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, yesterday,
came out forcefully in favor Of in
creased compensation for the Gov
ernment workers.
Mr.. Leffingwell said he had come to
Washington with the preconceived no
tion that Washington was 1.-The refuge
of loafers," and that the first thing
he discovered was that he was wrong.
In the interest Of the Government
itself, Mr.. Leffingwell said, the clerks
should be given a square deal"
''It is just enlightened self-interest
on the part of the Government to give
them a square deal" he said.
He spoke of a number OF civil serv-
ice employees who, he said, could step
out into private life and get $4,000 a
year. He, said most of them stayed in
the Government service because of
loyalty, and he added they were mas
ters Of the technique of their labors
and the laws relating thereto. He said
they had served the Government in
war time without thought of health or
personal advantage.

HERE IS AL|B| IN
T|CONDEROCk CASE

Failure OF the L. :. s. Galveston
to come 10 the aid OF the TicOnde-
roga, when that vessel was torpedoed
by a German submarine on Septem
Der 80. is attributed to the fact that
it was though: the ,Ticonderoga was
a west-bound merchant vessel, ac
cording to a report issued by the
Navy Department.
The Galveston at the time of tho
attack was co1"oying fourteen YES
sells bound for England, the captain
stated in his report to Secretary Dan
;eIs. and was not aware of the fact
that the Ticonderoga had dropped
behind Ter convoy.
When the first gun flashes were
seen, the Galveston headed for the
region of the Ticonderoga and opened
fire with her fve-inch guns. After
sighting a second round of flashes,
she stopped firing because OF the pos
sibility Of hitting a friendly vessel,
the captain stated.
The captain assumed il was his
duty to remain with the convoy
rather than remain with one ship
when there was a chance for her es-
cape.
A court OF inquiry to investigate
on the Ticonderoga has
been ordered by the Navy Depart
ment, the report concluded.

Den1obilizing Troops
As Fast As Feasible,
March Tells Critics

Denial of the frequent criticisms
made on the floor of the House re-
Gently against the War Department
FOR unreasonable delay in discharging
soldiers was made in a letter from
General March. chief Of staff, to Re-
publican Leader Mann, which was
read in the House yesterday. General
March went into great detail to ex-
plain the mt thod of granting rdis-
charges. and declared by following
this plan the desired result would be
accomplished with the least delay.
His letter reads in part:
The determining principle is that
all of our soldiers. whose services are
no longer needed, are entitled to dis
charge. The method adopted, it is be-
neVed, will accomplish that result
with least delay. and without favor to
those who m hit have influential
friends to intercede for them or to
take up their cases individually with
the War Department.
100000 Men Discharged
'.As a result of the unit demobili-
zation scheme of the War Depart
ment, during the past six weeks up
wards of 100000 men and approx
mately $4,000 officers have been dis
charged from our temporary forces
This constitutes an average for the
whole period since demobilization got
fairly under way, of over 10000 a
day for six days a week. Certain
large units organized for overseas
service were promptly demobilized en-
bloc, and during that process the
daily discharges ran well over 80. 600. -
The chief of STAFF pointed to orders
authorizing commanders to release
enlisted men where there is sickness
or other distress in the soldiers fam
lily, or when he is needed to resume
employment in which there is urgent
need OF his service. He continues:

HURLEY SAYS U..S:
MUST AID FRANCE

PARIS. Jan. 26.-The United States
must aid France in the commercial
war which that country faces with
Germany. Edward Hurley. chairman
of the United States Shipping Board,
declared at the Franco-American din.
ner here last night. He said that the
end of the war could not be consId-
cred to have been reached until
France is entirely rehsbilitated COM
mercially.
American assistance, Hurley said,
will consist chiefly Of furnishing the
ships to increase Frances merchant
marine. Distribution OF raw materials
depends upon fair and equal rates for
shipping, he pointed out.
Germany has devoted half her ef-
fort for twenty-five years to building
up a great military machine, said
Hurley, and the remainder to CONNER
cial pursuits. As her war machine
has been permanently eliminated, she
can devote her whole energy to COM
merce and industry in the future.
Say what you will about her
methods, Germany mas demonstrated
her efficiency in commerce, and with
her whole effort devoted in the fu-
ture to trade, other nations will al
ways have in her a formidable COM
petitor, no matter what restriction
it becomes advisable to put in her
path" said Hurley. ITO solve this
problem, France must organize, as
she cannot meet il relying on isolated
individual efforts"
French products should be protect
ed by a MADE in France" trademark,
Hurley proposed.
The commerce and industry OF
France are now free to make her a
greater nation than she ever was be-
FORE" he said. You will, with your
energy and skill, place her in the po-
sition in which the world wants her
one of the leading nations of COM
merce and industry. If the people OF
France will enthusiastically support
their commercial and Industrial lead
ers as they supported their gallant
army, have no fear but that her de-
| vastated districts will quickly be re-
| habiIitated, and her trade and com
J merce restored as important factors
