MANAGUA, Nicaragua. January 90
American Marines feared today that re-
ports of the death Of the rebel Gen. Au-
gustino Sandino might be ruse
Around his mountain stronghold of
Ell Chipote the only evidence noted by
Marine aviators was that Of death and
deSolation.
Sandino, if alive, it was believed, could
have fled through the jungles to Hon.
duras or down the Coco River to the
Caribbean. Since the Honduran gov
ernment promised to allow no concen-
tration of rebels on Honduran soil, 1t
was believed that Sandino. If alive,
might be heading for the sea.
The Marine garrison at San Rafael
was ordered to investigate Immediately
any burial of prominent men there. The
NicaraguanS. who reported Sandino's
death TO Marine headquarters, said the
generals wife, a government telegraph
operator at San Rafael. took his body
there for burial. Aviators observed

On the threshold of national
crusade to "cure" war. the Conference
on the Cause and Cure of War today
faced the realization that three years
of intensive study have failed to un-
cover the real cause of international
conflicts.
A definite program was mapped out
by the third conference, which closed
yesterday. 1t calls for Nationwide
campaign in support of the State De-
partment's plan for multilateral treaty
with other nations, to eliminate war
as a national policy; advocacy of the
United States entrance into the World
Court. and opposition to increased naval
expenditures
But although the conference sue
ceeded in mapping out this program,
which II expects its nine constituent
national women'S organizations TO carry
out. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. chair
man Of the conference. admitted today
that the real cause of war remains as
much of mystery as ever.
The object of the conference" she
said. was TO try to educate ourselves
as to the underlying cause of war. We
examined the reasons given in histories
and in propaganda and We listened to
authorities on all of the phases of war.
We heard a great deal about economics.
And We found that no one knows just
what the cause of war is. We learned
that much in three years"

DISAPPOINTMENT FELT HERE.

Continued French reluctance to con-
cur In Secretary Keiloggs proposals for
a six-power treaty declaration against
war as an agency OF national policy
has tended TO create some disappo!nt-
ment in Washington Official circles, but
In the absence OF the new French note
no authorized expression of opinion was
available.
The statements in Paris dispatches
that the French government in the new
note not only again presented its desire
10 limit the war denunciation to "aa-
gresSive" wars only, but also elaborated
on the difficulties 1t would face In en-
0ring into general anti-war pact. as
compared with It's original proposals
for Franco American treaty of that
nature. obviously indicate that an agree
ment on muiti-lateral treaty Is still
some distance In the future. AS an al
Tentative, however. there is every indi-
cation that the Washington Govern
ment intends TO press forward negotia-
tions with France for the new arbitra-
ton treaty which would embody In
itself strong anti-war movement.
