as offensive operations in the north

the heavy rains.
the wet season begins usually q
bout the first Of May and continues
until December, two months after
the election. The marines, there
fore, have less than two months in
which to subdue General Augustc
Sandino and his followers.
Two battaIions of marines will be
assembled, one at Quantieo, Va.
and the other at San Diego, Cal
Because of the number of seasoned
soldiers now in Nicaragua, China
and elsewhere, it may be necessary
to reduce the marine guard on ships
at sea to provide sufficient mum
Der for the new expeditionaary
force.
The marines are being sent, it was
reiterated, for the sole purpose Of
establishing order.
Meanwhile the hope was express
ed that compromise agreement
can be reached with Emiliano Cha
moro, conservative chieftain, who
has opposed the American plan tc
supervise the election.
Minister c. G. Eberhardt at Ma
nagua, it was learned, has been in

United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Sem
ate Teapot Dome committee opened
the last day of its Chicago hearing
today with more testimony of Re-
publican campaign contributions in
1924.
Philip Armour said he gave $4,000
in 1924 and F. Edison White, asso-
ciatcd with him, testified to giving
the same amount.
The Armour and White checks
were dated on the same day.
Both witnesses said they knew
nothing of Liberty Bond deals in
connection with Republican dona-
tions.
The committee came to Chicago
primarily to seek evidence of dispo-
sition by the late Fred Upham, for
mer treasurer of the Republican ma
tional committee, of 100000 in 3a
percent Liberty bonds, given by
Harry F. Sinclair to VIII Hays and
by Hays to Upham.

Last night the committee made
an excursion to the home of James

clair, Hays and Connery. His tes-
timony bore out previous testimony
of Hays.
The securities, Connery said, rep

Connery in stock market deals,
partly in Sinclair oil stock. Hays
sent the securities to Sinclair but
later Hays and Connery were hard
pressed and Sinclair returned part
of the securities to Connery, the lat
