U. S. MARINES SUFFER HEAVY LOSSINCLASH Five Killed, 23 Wounded in Nicaraguan Battle With Insurgents. BANDITS ARE WELL LED Fight With Expert Precision When Americans Attack Their Stronghold. Hu Vnited I'n ss MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 2. The military precision with which bandits attacked a group of United States Marines—killing five and wounding twenty-three today caused officers to wonder whether the bandits had not had advantage of training from other than native forces. After reports of the engagement at Quilali had been received by officers here, they studied to see If the well-regulated and systematic way in which bandits fought the Marines did not show outside aid in training. However, there were no definite evidences to prove the contention of aid. A patrol of Marines and National Guard of Nicaragua attempted to march on Quilali, one of the strongholds of General Sandino, Liberal leader in Nicaragua, Friday. Rebels Offer Fierce Battle The Marines believed if they could capture the stronghold it would be a serious blow to the prestige of the Insurgents and materially strengthen the power of the government of President Adolfo Diaz, whose administration had the backing of the United States government and the Marines. As they approached the town, the joint patrol of Marines and National Guardsmen encountered a strong rebel force of between 400 to 500 bandits on the outskirts of the city. For one hour and twenty minutes the forces battled. Then the Rebels were driven into the mountains. When the forces entered the captured town, they found none of the Rebel dead, although Marine officers were positive there had been numerous casualities. They concluded the Rebels had taken their injured and dead with them as they retreated. . Five Marines Killed The five marines killed In the battle were: First Sergeant Johnny E. Hemphill, Chicago. Corporal Adolph Theilhart, Middle Village, Long Island, N. Y. First Class Private George E. Goldsmith, Deer Park, Wis. First Class Private W. Grady, Watson Point, La. First Class Private Esthler Grosson. Pleasant Plains, Ohio. Six marines were injured seriously. They are: Capt. Richard Livingston, Philadelphia. Gunnery Sergeant Fred Coryell, Anaconda, Mont. Private Robert M. Collins, Cobbtown, Ga. 0 Private Charles E. Turner, Terre Haute, Ind. Private Bernard W. Coyne, Framingham, Mass. Private Leonard J. Smith, New York City. Two Officers Wounded Among the seventeen other injured were two officers. They are: Lieut. William T. Minnick, medical corps, U. S. N., South Hills, Pittsburgh. First Lieutenant Moses J. Gould, Patterson,' N. J. Until the battle of Quilali, only seven marines had been killed during the months they had been in Nicaragua and at no time had more than two been killed in one engagement. On Feb. 17, 1927, the marines left the United States and arrived in Nicaragua during the first week in March. They were sent here from the United States to suppress political disorders growing out of the election of President Diaz.

Bit United Press The New Year brought zero temperatures and intense suffering, especially to the eastern half of the United States. From the Atlantic seabord to the Rockies, even including most parts of the South, blizzards caused acute discomfort. A rising death toll was expected to reach several score, with nearly thirty deaths already reported. Chicago reported nineteen and St. Louis eight. Many cities of the Middle West were buried by near-record snowfalls. Highway and railroad traffic was impaired and air mail schedules were abandoned. Several serious railroad accidents have been caused by the storm. No relief was expected for twentyfour hours. Many rural districts were isolated and heavy losses in livestock were looked for unless the weather moderated. East Bears Brunt In New York, Pennsylvania, Jersey and New England the ther-j mometer fell steadily throughout® the night and more zero tempera-1 tures were expected again tonigbM While the heavy snowfall v|B general from the Rocky Mount Am east, to Pennsylvania, Missouri, lovlß Illinois and Indiana were reported! to have suffered the worst. Drifts 1 in many sections were reported ten and twelve feet deep. Quincy. 111., reported the fall the heaviest in the history of its weather bureau. Roads were buried under snow many feet deep. A vast snowdrift three miles north of Quincy was reported holding forty-seven automobiles. Their occupants had reached safety after a terrific struggle. South Hard Hit Southeastern United States, from the Mason and DLvon line to the Gulf of Mexico, experienced the lowest temperatures of the year, with little prospect of early relief.

Several hundred sought relief in an abandoned farm house until aid could reach them. The lowest temperature reported in New York yesterday was 13 degrees above zero at 10 p. m. This was lowered in the early hours this morning, when the temperature dropped to just a few degrees above zero. One death has been reported there thus far from the wind and low temperatures.
