MARINES LEAD OFFENSIVE ON SANDINO ARMY Eight More Americans Are Reported Killed, Missing in Nicaragua. B]/ Unit'd Press MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 17. —-A determined counter-offensive against insurrectionist forces in northeastern Nicaragua was begun today by national guardsmen led by United States marine officers and aviators. The armed forces of Augusto Sandino, insurgent leader, were roaming over a wide area of the rough countryside surrounding Puerto Cabezas and a threat against the port of Bluefields was reported. Coincident with reports that eight more Americans were killed or missing in the region, Lieutenant Clyde Darrah and Lieutenant Curcey led twenty national guardsmen from Puerto Cabczas toward the new Vance district to meet a band of sixty outlaws, said to be laying waste to the countryside. Airplanes were ordered to supplement the marines and guardsmen. There already are eleven Americans killed or mislng in the banditravaged region. More than a score of natives have been killed. The natives in various regions were reported giving the insurrectionists valuable support, but at Puerto Cabezas the foreign population is protected by the gunboat Asheville. The gunboat Sacramento is due off the Nicaraguan Atlantic coast today. The United States steamship Rochester is due at Balboa tonight, but there was no definite announcement as to whether it would continue to the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. U. S. Plans Unchanged By United Press WASHINGTON, April 17.—The administration has not abandoned its plan to recall the marines from Nicaragua, and present indications are the original proposal, to have all but about 500 brought home by

BOYS TO SEE TRIBE AS LIONS’ GUESTS

10,000 Sought for Parade to Ball Park: Prize List Announced. Knotholes in the fence at Washington park will be deserted April 25 if the Lions Club of Indianapolis has anything to do about it. Still, while no boys will peek through holes in the boards, none will miss the game. Instead of climbing trees and risking detection by the coppers on toe beat, young Indianapolis will whoop and cheer the Indians as guests of the club, and Norman E. Perry, owner of the Tribe. Not without some ceremony, of course. They will form—and the Lions Club wants 10,000 of them—in a huge parade, over which Major T. E. Cathro, in charge of R. O. T. C. activities in the city’s schools, will be marshal. Tempting the boys to extend themselves to make the parade a gala affair, the Lions Club today announced its list of prizes for features in the procession. A $25 first prize will be awarded the best band, with a $lO second prize. Floats—and floats, the club has decided are any vehicles moving on one or more wheels—will be awarded five prizes, ranging from $7 to sl. A prize of sls and a second prize of $lO for floats entered by schools or boys’ organizations. Slogans and banners also will be awarded prizes. Organizations invited to participate include: Cathedral high school and band. Boys Club Association. L. M. C. A., Jewish Club, June 3, will be carried out according to schedule. This development came Thursday night while two more warships were speeding to the rescue of United States citizens at Puerto Cabezas, on the east coast. It followed a conference at the white House between President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson. There are strong indications the administration is seeking to “play down” the seriousness of the present fighting in Nicaragua. When press reports of battles around Puerto Cabezas first appeared last Sunday and Monday the state department sought to. discredit them.

TWO HELD IN PAY ROLL PLOT Police Claim Confession in Thwarted Robbery. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 17.—Philip K. Stumm, arrested with Arthur A. Fisher, a clerk in the District o\ Columbia auditor’s office, on charges of plotting a $130,000 District pay roll robbery, has confessed, according to police. He -is reported to have accused Fisher of being the “master mind” who concocted the plot and enlisted him. Fisher is a son-in-law of the late Representative Fiorian Lampert of Wisconsin. It was disclosed late Thursday that the holdup plans would have gone awry, since the alleged plotters did not reckon with the fact that Decoration day, the day said to have been set for the robbery, is a legal holiday. Officials pointed out that employes would be paid on the preceding day, May 29. Os the 340,000,000 people in India, only 2,600,000 speak English. Os the rest, few can read or write any of the 222 Oriental languages they use.
