Prompt Withdrawal

Washington, April 19.-(AP)-
With increasing reports Of con-

guam civil war, President Coolidge
is preparing for withdrawal Of
substantial part of the force Of
American marines now on duty in
that country.
From official communications
and press accounts telling Of Sc
ries of victories of the troops OF
President Diaz over the liberals
under Juan Sacasa, the president
has drawn the conclusion that hos
tilities are approaching an end and
that it soon will be possible to
greatly reduce the number Of
marines ashore.
Ultimate complete removal OF
the marines remains the goal OF
the administration, it was said at
the white house today, but that
question must await later decision.

troops were landed in Nicaragua
