Bernhard Led
EpentfuL Life

IN 1915, in Canada, q mob
i attacked Bernhardt in the
carriage she was riding be-
cause she was credited with
having said something about
French Canadians. An off
cial apology followed this
incident. In 1914 she was
the first theatrical person to
receive the cross Of the
Legion of Honor. She also
received many other similar
honors, including q laurel
wreath of gold from the New
York theatrical circle. In
1915 she sustained an injury
to her knee which made It
necessary to anputate the
limb. While playing in New
England il 1916, she con-
tracted 9 cold and was OBJ
liged to undergo another OPP
GRAFTON, this time for her
kidney. IN 1882 the actress
was married to Jacques Da-
naala, q Greek actor, who
took small parts in her plays.
They separated after q year,
and later she nursed him
when he was I'LL, the actor
subsequently dying in her
home. AT one time jealous
rival Of Miss Bernhardt's
published what purported to
be the real and alleged ro-
nance in the life Of the ac-
tress, which resulted in the
writer being horsewhipped by
the actress and the story was
never substantiated.

RAID INTO NICARAGUA
STIRS TWO NATIONS
Honduran Soldiers Said to Have
Killed Man and Sacked
officials Estate.

A raid by Honduran soldiers into
Nicaraguan territory, resulting in
depredations on the property of the
Nicaragua minister of finance, was
reported in private adviceS received
yesterday in Washington.
The incident, which followed dis
turbances during a recent presiden-
tial election in Honduras, was said to
have created a serious situation be-
tween the two countries. Details,
however, were lacking. Recently a
censorship was declared by Honduran
authorities and since then only the
most meager advices have been per-
mitted to reach the outside world.
The private message received here
came from quarters close to Tiburcio
Carias. an opposition candidate for
president. 1t was as follows:
Following the assassination dur
ing the recent election of various
adherents of Gen. Tiburcio Carias,
the presidential candidate, by troops
acting under orders of the minister
of the interior, Zuniga Huete. and
the subsequent Imprisonment of some
200 of Gen. Carias' followers, a body
of troops on the goth instant murdered
Emilio Williams, a member of con-
gress, at his home in Choluteca, be-
cause of his pro-Carias attitude.
They next crossed the boundary
into Nicaragua and there killed a
Honduran by the name of Euceda.

sacked the neighboring states and
raided the property of Senior Montal-
ban, d wealthy landowner and Mica
