143 MARINES GIVE UP LIVES IN NICARAGUA Four-Year Sandino Hunt Is Costly Experience for U. S. By Sorlpps-Howard Sewn paper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 24.—American intervention in Nicaragua has cost the lives of 143 marines, according to figures furnished here by marine headquarters. This intervention, lasting continuously except for three weeks in 1925, from the first landing of marines in 1912 under President Taft, has been bloodiest since May, 1927, when the rebel chief, Sandino, began his costly rebellion. In the “get-Sandino’* campaign, the total number of marines killed in action was twenty-nine, including four officers. The Sandino hunt has lasted four years, longer than the three other rebel-hunting expeditions conducted by the United States, those to “get” the Filipino Aguinaldo, the Mexican Villa, and the Haitjan Charlemagne. With Sandino still at large, this 4-year-old expedition, just now being turned over to the Nicaraguan Guardia Nacionale, cost the following in killed, wounded and deaths from other causes: Officers—Killed in action, 4; died of wounds, 1; accidental deaths, 6; wounded in action, 5; died of disease. 1; died of other causes, 5. Enlisted Men—Killed in action, 25; died of wounds, 14; wounded in action, 57; died of disease, 20; accidental deaths, 22; died of other causes, 17. Total casualties,' 161. The above does not include the one marine death in the recent Managua earthquake, nor the twenty-one marine deaths prior to 1927. Estimates of the number of Nicaraguans killed are not available, but they are believed to run well over 1,000.

burden of this relief from the big income taxpayers to the less wealthy mass of the people, Senator La Follette charged today. He based his assertion on facts revealed in a government survey of family relief work made public yesterday. This showed that in 100 cities the major portion of the $40,000,000 spent in this work came from the public treasuries—not from private charity. If. La Follette said, giving assistance to the needy from public funds Is, as Hoover declared, “dangerously near the dole.” then we are near it. The senator, however.

denies that such federal help is anything like a “dole.’* The young Republican-Progressive of Wisconsin said the facts gathered in the survey, made by the labor department’s children’s bureau at the instance of the President’s emergency committee for employment, will furnish further ammunition with which to fight the administration’s opposition to grants from the federal treasury for relief of the distressed. Venezuela has lifted its ban on radio apparatus and allows importation of sets and parts subject to government permits.

FINOS NO BOW-LEGS, RICKETS IN BATAVIA Not Even One Pair of Knock-Knees, Famous Surgeon Reports. By United press LONDON, April 24.—There are no bow-legs in Batavia, according to Sir John Bland-Sutton, famous British surgeon. Neither are there knock-knees, or rickets, he discovered while on a world tour with his wife. In fact, Batavia would be an ideal place for Flo Ziegfeld and other producers to recruit their choruses

and gather inspiration for theme songs. “In Batavia,” Sir John said, “we found young girls whose fine inures and perfect limbs I would like to see on every young woman in this country. “No bow-legs or knock-knees there. True, the sun is constant and these young women wore only a native covering which hung from their waists to their knees. There could be no rickets in that country-*’ Italy has 2,48* moving picture houses, with a total seating capacity of 1,063,800.
