 Not Participating in It

 London, Sept. lo.-tUP)-An 1n- ternational naval police force came into being today to patrol 100000 square miles of the Mediterranean and challenge Fascist Italy's bold assertion that the ancient sea is primarily hers.
 British and French battle fleets, with destroyers as policemen on the beats and navy seaplanes as the equivalent of radio scout cars, took up their stations on the sea lanes to protect Mediterranean shipping from the officially mysterious 'pi- rate" submarines which, had preyed for weeks on merchant ships.
 In their own territorial waters, ships of seven other Mediterranean and Black Sea nations joined the the police work, and ports of all these nations were open to the Bri. tish and French fleets.
 More British and French warshil!s were speeding toward the sea lane, loaded with deadly depth bombs, and more were to be sent latr.
 What Everyone Claims to Know
 Everyone knew that the nysteri- ous submarines operating in the Mediterranean were trying to stop the supply of oil to the Spanish Loy- alists, in hope that transport would be paralyzed, the Loyalist army ir1- mobilized, and that consequently the Loyalist cause would collapse and the Spanish Nationalists would be left the victor in the Civil war.

The rebel leader, who was
sought for years in the jungle by
United States Marines with orders
to bring him out dead or alive, u
was seen in recent weeks in Juarez
Mexico, just across the river from
El Paso, Texas.
He admitted his identity freely

But word that Sandino is alive
gave instant rise to speculation il
he is again seeking to raise q
revolutionary force and make an
other attempt to overthrow the
government, now that Unit d

It was recalled that in the
