of 10000 agents, many in Russia, in

The Fascist agents, Vonsiatsky
says, are particularly active in the

I'VE do not propose now a definite

be and it must be representative of

Another Story About Sandino.
Gen. ,Sandino, at one time the ma

nightmare Of former Secretary Henry
L. Stimson, escaped the bullets of the
American Marines, but could not
escape those of his own countrymen.
The American Marines who had to
fight him say that he was really a
good fellow.
He once captured an officer Of the
Nicaraguan National Guard.
The officers wife came in tears to
the commandant of the Marines and
implored him to save her husband
from the clutches of the feroci0us
rebel leader.
Through an agent the American
officer got in touch with Sandino and
told him about the plight of the wife.
He offered to exchange rebel prisoner
against the guardsman. Sandino was
willing: two days later he informed
the emissary that the guards officer
stubbornly refused to return home; he
preferred his captivity to the wife.
