states a serious undertaking, involved
with many possible complications.
There are other moves OF a less
drastic nature which are known to
have been given some consideration
in administration circles. The pro-
posal that a commission Of American
Army officers be virtually loaned to
the Diaz government to advise and
assist in military organization Is still
under examination. AS such officers
probably would be granted leave from
the Army and permitted to accept en-
ployment by the Managua govern

Arms Embargo Question.
Raising the arms export embargo in
favor Of the Diaz government is an
other possible expedient. It involves
the question OF the ability of that
government to finance the acquire
ment of sufficient military equipment
to crush its opponents. DIR. Cesar

on that point, as hts government has

PRESIDENT Is ATTACKED.
Driver Is Cut to Pieces Defending
Executive.


MANAGUA, Nicaragua, December
25 P).-President Diaz narrowly es-
cared assassination Thursday night.
Two men armed with long knives or
machetes attacked the presidential car
riage as Diaz was returning from q
social function about IL pm. The
President alighted on the opposite side
as the men threw themselves on the
carriage. He was unframed, but the
driver, who interviewed to protect
DiaZ, was literally cut to pieces. His
eyes We're gouged out and his nose
and hands cut off. leaving him in a
dying condition. The assa1lants fed.
The President placed the wounded
driver in the carriage and then drove
1t himself to Campo de Marie. while
soldiers dispersed a crowd which had
gathered. The driver said he recoy-
niZed the face of one assailant, but is
too weak to give details.
The attack caused much Indignation
here.
Congratulated by l.. S. Minister.
Charles c.. Eberhardt, the American
Minister, and many other American
officials congratulated President DiaZ
upon his escape. The President ex.
pressed the opinion that the assault
was inspired by the Belief of certain
Liberals that this elimination would
deprive the Conservatives of the
strength of a constitutional and recog-
nized President, Liberals believing
that the Conservatives would have
no other eligible candidate for the
presidency who would be recognized
readily by the United States

,ctricity Still Chea]
THE Potomac Electric Power Company de-
sires to announce further reduction in
rates for electricity during the coming year,
1927.
Acting in agreement with the Public Utilities Com
mission, the Company has voluntarily made the rate
reductions effective Of January l, 1927 instead of
March l. 1927 and thereby presented to its customers
estimated additional saving approximating $4,000.
In announcing these reductions for the third
successive year the Companys contribution to the fes
tive spirit of Christmas is manifested in the benefits
accruing from two months service at the and
lowered rates.
While the reductions are general throughout the
various types of power and light service schedules,
especial attention called to the reduction of 1929 in
the domestic home lighting rate applicable to all
patrons in the District of Columbia and Maryland.
The Company believes that mutual profit and under

Quicksands of Love

We must get those two kids to- gcther more" Dicky commented. "They'd make fine team, Tell Harriet I'm rushing 10 her on the wings Of love, and the wheels Of the subway. So long What? Wait q minute. Ede wants to talk to you"
 There was distinct irritation in his voice, as he spoke the last words, and realized the reason for lt in Edith's hurried strained appeal 10 me, which had more than q touch of petulance in fl,
 "Madgc I think you can see req son it Dicky can't" she began, This conference tonight is so i'm portant that l do not dare take the whole responsibility for it.

Won't you release him from this----"
 There was q queer abrupt sound as her voice broke off short. and l guessed that Dicky had taken the telephone receiver from her hand, The next instant I heard his voice in the acccntuated drawl which all ways masks anger that he cannot vent without making scene.
 Sorry to be rude, old dcah, but Madcc has nothing 10 do with this engagement or my making or break ing it, so there's no use bothering her with it, and I'm In q hurry You cal go over that matter with Wrinkle or you can kick him out of the office. It's tll one 10 me. Hello! Madgc." He suddenly spoke directly into the receiver. "I'll be right up. Good bye"
 The slam of the receiver on the hook echoed in my heart as If il were the triHuphant peal Of a bell. I knew th.t. whether consciously or subconsciously, Edith Fairfax had made an issue Of this conference, and forced Dicky 10 choose either discourtcsy 10 her or 10 me. But not even the decided manner in which he had snubbcd her could lansh from my mind two uneasy reflections, that duty to his sister might have been the reason for Ickys ranging himself upon my side, and that his reproof to Edith was the sort he would give only to a wife. or a sister, r vas so familiar to me in tone and language { that it disquietcd mo oddly.
