ing to word received today from Jino-
tega.
1t Is believed that the Nationalist
got away before the marines could
inflict any casualties upon them.
while we regret the loss of the
young American boys sacrificed by
Wall Street and Washington in the
war against Nicaragua, we canno4
nelp but rejoice at this fresh evidence
of the striking power and determine
ton Of the National Liberation army
under General Augustine SANDING, q
said Manuel Gomez, secretary of the
United States section of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League in
statement today on yesterdays bat
tie in Nicaragua.
AS Gomez pointed out, this is thu
second largest battle since the worl6
war, engaged in by American forces
1t completely skaters the fiction of
the peace established by Colonel
Henry L. Stimson, Coolidge's personal
representative in Nicaragua.
"The story in today's papers shows
how American boys are being slaught-
cred but does not take into consid-
Grafton the hundreds of Nicaraguans
who have been slain. The All-Amer-
lea Anti-Imperialist League is glad
that the lie has been given to the re-
ports that SANDING has given up the
struggle and has fled from the field.
This battle proves that SANDING is
still able to deal hard blows.
American workers shot down in
Colorado and Pennsylvania by United
States militia should rejoice with San
dino also.
eve can fight with SANDING and
not against him by contributing to
the SANDING medical supply campaign
which is being carried on by the
league"

The Chinese roads, a top which can
be lifted in bad weather,-that is the
ricksha. 1t is not hard to pull-for
few hundred yards. But the Chi
nese ricksha coolie leaves his home
at daybreak and for twelve or four
zen or sixteen hours, in all kinds of
weather, and along roads and streets
many of which are so rough as to
make automobile traffic impossible,
he goes at jog trot, sweating in the
heat, drenched to the skin in the
storms, sometimes barefoot, some
times with sandals. In other coun-
tries passengers are pulled by mules,
horses, donkeys. In China, they are
pulled by men.
A ricksha has two wheels. There
fore it requires the semblance of a
road. But in the back country. away
from the commercial centers where
there are no roads, passengers must
ride either in a sedan chair or on a
wheel-barrow which can accommodate
itself to foot-path.

morning. The streets along the river
banks were filled with traffic. Cot
ton, wheat, corn and other COM
modities were being loaded and I'M
loaded.
Mules and Men.
The river was low. The cotton
barges lay perhaps twenty or twenty
five feet beneath the level of the
surrounding country. From t h G
barge to the shore there was a PLANK
A coolie would cross this plank, stoop
down while two companions lifted a
bale of cotton to his shoulders and
then Strengthening up he would re-
cross The plank, mount the hill,
thread his way through the traffic
to the cotton exchange and there de-
posit his load.
When the cotton was bought, it was
loaded on cart, to which a man and
a horse or mule were hitched, side
by side. Sometimes two horses were
hitched, side by side. Some times two
horses were hitched tandem fashion
with one man pulling beside them
and another pushing behind the cart.
The morning that l reached TENT

ing transferred from the dock where
it had arrived along the river street
% its destination in the city. The
street was of asphalt, but rough with
deep ruts. The machine was mounted
on a heavy truck with wheels that
were not more than Is inches in
diameter. The wheels were so low
that when they slipped into a rut the
bed of the truck scraped along the
pavement. 1t was then necessary to
ack it up, slip pieces of sheet iron
under the wheels and get it started

 MOTORS BUT
 NO RATKTUbS

PARIS. March 1s-Rathtubs are less desired than automobiles in France So the master plamnea5 have ascertained through their of ficial organ which conducted an investigation of the use of sam. tary facilities and published the results under the title of "A Tour of France Through the Sewers"
 While automobiles are iRcrsas- ing. the plumbers lament that there are entire departments which do not have and do not want running water, sewers and the sanitary facilities that go with them. The official reports cover 3S,000 communities and indicate that tho prospects of making the Saturday night cleanup a pleasure rather than hardship arc not en- couraging.
 What is lacking in France, 7 one of the plumbers officials is quoted as saying, "is authority to improve hygienic conditions. The masses aren't educated, the towns men won't make the necessary if nancial sacrifices and the taxpay- CTS protest against the cost of any progress in sanitation.'
 Paris and the large cities, of course, have bathtubs and sewers, but even in the capital there are districts where sewers are lack. ing and there are only septic tanks.

CHICAGO, March 19-The night air mail is brain child of dual paternity.
 The idea was evolved by Col. Paul Henderson. then second as, sistant postmaster general, and ]. V. Magee, Boston engineer, on n automobile ride through Rock Creek Park in Washington, in 1929.
 Colonel Henderson, vice presi- dent and general manager of the National Air Transport. Inc, which carries the mail on the new night-lighted route between Chi cago and Dallas and on the trans- continental route, had charge O. the government air mail, then flown only in day time.
 He concluded that if the air mail was to be real success it would have to be developed to a point where it could be carried between point of origin and des- tination during the non-business hours of the night.
 q knew nothing about the feas- ibility of flying the mail at night said Colonel Henderson, "and neither did Magee, but knew he had the brains to fig ure it out.'
 Magee toured the air mail lines everywhere. He talked to pilots, men on the ground and everybody who knew even remotely about flying the mail.
 He realized the difficulties In. terposed by the Alloghenies ans! the Rockies, but in two months expressed the opinion that with the proper lighting night flying could be done in a practical way.
 Magee went to see all the blg electrical companies with an idea of establishing such a white trail as now exists on the two night routes. He dug up a 24-inch re- volving searchiight which has be- come the standard
 The first stretch illuminated was the Chicago-Cheyenne route of the ranscontinental The work was completed in August, 1923.
 A week of experimental flying proved the feasibility of the new adventure and the glowing route was extended west to Rock Springs and eastward from Chs- cago to Cleveland. Actual night flying was undertaken formally July l. 1924.

'' .Ssc,;di'' : Still Is Found
 In Massachusetts Soil

CONCORD, Mass, March 19- Gold" is siiil being found in Massachusetts, even though doubt. CTS insist that nothing but fools gold was ever deposited in the Bay States soil.
 Workmcn drilling an artesiar well on farm here brought up a yellow lump as big as mans thumb. It has been assayed. but no gold rush has developed in Concord.
 Professor Charles E. Locke of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was questioned in connection with the reported discovery, says that about once month someone thinks he has found gold and brings a sample of ore to be assayed at M l. T.
 The results of the assays have been depressingly monotonous and have failed to show anything that would pass pawnbroker's test.

WASHINGTON = The government
now owns 300 commercial ships, more
than 300 of which are being operated.
All but a half-dozen transatlantic
passenger liners are farmed out to
private operators, who are compen-
sated by the shipping board.
About 100 ships have been disposed
of since the war-Scrapped or sold
to private concerns. The end of the
war found Jus with a vast surplus OF
ships. Since that time our war-built
vessels still in operation, gradually
growing old, have been less and less
able to compete with new and faster
shipping, so that our merchant ma
rine has gradually declined.
This merchant marine, now carry
ing third of our foreign trade, cost
the government $16,000,OOO last year,
but the shipping board deficit has
been rapidly decreasing. It amounted
to $75,OOO,OOO in 1921.
In two or three years, our best ships
will be inferior in almost every re-
spect to the best ships OF our COM
petitors, according to shipping ex-
perts. That is why congress wants to
replace the existing lines with new
and better vessels
The shipping board merchant ma
rine service now operates % lines,
most of them across the Atlantic
but striking the major ports OF every
continent.
1t is these lines. with their ships
flying the American flag, that hackers
of g. government merchant marine
seek to perpetuate by providing for a
replacement program. The shipping
boards replacement program calls for
construction of 15 ships year for
Is years at an annual cost OF between
$2O,OOO,OOO and $25,000,c>j.
While our industrial output has in
creased and while our ships have
been wearing out, out-speeded and not
replaced, other nations have been
building new and faster ships at a
rapid rate.
Between 1922 and 1927, ship-build-
ing statistics show, Great Britain
turned out 882 ships for tranSoceanic
service of more than 1000 gross tons
each, a total gross tonnage OF nearly
100000. That compares with our 18
ships of less than 100000 TONS Ger
