do So" A number of the generals
staff declared that If the United
States formally ordered the liberals
to lay down their arms and cease fir

cept. But, he added, so long IS the
United States attempted to lay down

resigned. This was fatty denied in
Washington and the administration
showed considerable irritation over
this and other false press stories from
foreign sources. At present Mr. Cool
idge does not see that any advantage
