CHARGED IN APPEAL MADE
BY LEGATION
AMERICAN AID IS ASKED
Costa Riean Troops Said To Have En-.
tered Panama In Guise OF
Political Refugees

| WashingtOn.-The United State!
government was asked by Panama t
use its good offices to avoid any blood
shed in Central America growing ou
of the alleged invasion of Panama sol
by Costa Rican troops.
Acting on instructions from Pres
ident Porras. Charge d'Affaires Lefev
re of the Panama legation, informed
the state department that what first
| advices describe as an influx of polit-
| ical refugees from Costa Rica to Pan
ANA was actually an armed invasion.
Mr.. Lefevre requested that the United
States intercede with the Costa Rica
minister here.
A message received by Mr.. Lefevre
from his government and communicate
ed to Under-Secretary of State Davis,
was to the effect that troops, acting
ON instructions from the Costa Rican
capital at San Jose, had occupied ter
ritory bordering on the Coto, Golfito
and Colorado rivers.
An armed mission headed by Gen.
Manuel Quintero, member of Presi-
dent Porras' cabinet, was said to have
been dispatched from Panama to the
threatened region by way of David,
where civilian troops are being mobil-
lied. The purpose of this expedition,
the cable stated, was to regain sover-
eighty over the invaded territory"
Panama.-The Panaman government
has not received official advices re-
garding the reported Occupation of
Panaman territory by Costa Rican
forces, President Porras informed the |
Associated Press. Lack Of rapid COM
from Coto, in the province |
Of Chiriqui, where the invasion is re-
ported, has prevented the receipt of
news from that point and likewise from
he small armed expedition which the
Panama government dispatched for
he purpose of investigation and pos
;ible defense.
Thomas Jacome, Costa Rican consul,
rave out dispatch from the Costa Ri
AN foreign office answering an inqui-
y relative to the occupation reports.
The dispatch says:
"The Costa Rican government has
lot invaded territory. 1t has sent
orces and authorities to territories
onsidered its undisputed dominion"

U. S. SENDS NOTE TO LEAGUE
Equal Opportunities For Citizens Of
All Allied Powers, Regardless OF
League Membership, Insisted

Washington.-Equal opportunities
for the citizens Of all Of the allied
and associated powers, whether mem
bers of the league of nations or not
in former enemy territories to be ad
ministered by the allied governments
under mandates, is insisted upon In a
note dispatched by the state depart.
ment to the council OF the league, in
session at Paris.
The note went forward on Wash
ington's Birthday to Ambassador Wal
lace. who is to present it TO the coun-
Gil at once. Its text is withheld, but
state department officers describe it
as being virtually identical with the
one on the same subject sent to the
British government in November last
by Secretary Colby
That note was couched in exceed
inly firm language. In it Mr.. Colby
took issue with the British position
that mandate agreements and treaties
were to be considered only by states
members of the league, and declared
that the United States as a contrib
utor to the common victory in the
world war. could not consider amy
of the associated powers, the smallest
not less than itself, debarred i
from participation in the rights and |
privileges secured under the mandates |
provided in the treaties of peace" |
Initiation of this, the first action
to be taken by the United States to |
the council of the league, was at the
suggestion of one of the allied pow
ers, understood to have been Great
Britain. The British foreign office
never has replied to Mr. Colby's note in
which he asked that the United States
be permitted to examine the draft
mandates before their submission to
he league council for approval. Mean
line, however, Great Britain has sent
he draft mandates for Mesopotamia
md Palestine to the council, and it
S understood that it was for this rea-
;on that it suggested that the United
States present it's views to the coun-
Ill.
Action by the council on the man. {
ates at the present session had been :
and it is explained that it is r
n this account that the present adj +
has decided to present its 7
rguments direct to the council, des- I
lite the fact that only little more $
han two weeks remain before the new
