BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, March 9.—The story of Nicaraguan politics is not exactly like a fairy tale, perhaps, but it does go to show that sometimes everything comes out all right for some people and that even in real life the ogres and the big bad giants occasionally get it in the neck. Dr. Juan B. Sacasa is now on the high seas bound for Washington. He is the new Nicaraguan minister to the United States. In Nicaragua tha post is second only to the presiden and many Nicaraguan political lead ers would as soon have one job as the other. A year or two ago Dr. Sacasa was being more or less kicked around, finally being forced into exile after our State and Navy Departments had disarmed his liberal army. Dr. Sacasa four years ago was Nicaragua’s vice president. cated under pressure and fled. Dr. Sacasa fled, too, preferring life to death, but he set up shop on the Atlantic coast as constitutional presi- dent and organized an army. The army was successful until President Goolidge sent Henry M. Stimson down to tell it to quit, whereupon Dr. Sacasa left the country again. * * * Dr. Sacasa will step right into one of the nicest little legations in Wash- ington, a handsome new building at the top of Fifteenth street, opposite Meridan Hill Park, just vacated by the Egyptian minister. It is one of a string of embassies and Iegations in the immediate vicinity, including the French, Dutch, Italian and Mcxi- can. That's one success story. Another is that of General Jose Moncada, who gave Dr. Sacasa his fine new job. General Moncada, of course, is the new Nicaraguan president. He was the chief of Sacasa's army and so dis- tinguished himself in the face of the conservative troops and the “neutral zones” and other obstacles set up by American marines that he became the national hero. Moncada licked the conservatives on the Atlantic coast and made a terrific march through jungles and swamps into the interior toward Man- agua, the capital. It was a great military feat and success appeared in his grasp when Stimson appeared on the scene and told him he must dis- arm or be disarmed by the marines. At the time this seemed very tough on the poor Nicaraguan liberals and The president abdi- | S {certainly it must have seemed so to them. In the face of all other kinds of opposition from Washington they had put up a brave fight against odds only to be robbed of the fruits of vic- tory by a military force which it would have been suicide to oppose. * * * As it turned out, dear old Uncle Sam himself put things right by in- isting upon “free and fair elections.’ iguan voters kicked out the old col vative crowd and elected Mon- cada, who certainly did the graceful thing by appointing his former boss to Washington. | The pleasant things that have hap- pened to Moncada and Sacasa have happened to lesser Nic: n liber- als who last year were either in a exile or in a state of complete quies- cence, | During the days the revolution was jactive, for instance, the very young z0 Morales was ke tiny hotel room, pushing out pro-liberal propaganda jon his typewriter, short of funds, and altogether short of sympathy from {our government. He appeared to be fighting a losing fight also; it seemed as if he might become an old man before he could dare return to his ewn country. But now he is seer of the legation and pending Si a's arrival |has been charge d'affaires and min- lister ad interim, dealing with the state department at which he as hurling publicity broadcasts so recently. * oH * Meanwhile everything seems to be going with reasonable nity in | Nicaragua.

Moncada is arranging for public works commissions in each of the de- partments, or provinces, of Nicaragua, which will raise taxes especially for schools and highways. He plans to develop the Atlantic coast of his country, and believes it may prove economical to run a railroad from as just approved ake the national coast to coast. was laughing, her musical gurgle blending with an ecstatic crow from the eighteen-months-old baby girl in her arms. “Turn loose my hair, you little fiend!” she laughed. “Here, Faith, take your obstreperous young niece. She thinks this is a lark; just wrinkles her adorable little nose and sticks out her tongue at me when I try to put across the idea that it’s Teally a major tragedy.” “Is it?” Faith tried to look stern, but she could not keep from smiling. Her arms went out hungrily for little Hope, who was clapping her hands now in an ecstacy of delight at seeing her aunt. “Au fait! Au fait!" Hope cried in her tiny treble, then dropped her red- and-gold head—so like Cherry's upon her aunt's shoulder and was instantly asleep. “Sounds like very bad French, doesn’t it?” Cherry laughed. “But isn't she a love? Nils is mad about her, of course. I'm counting on his missing her to the point of frenzy. I don't think he could adore her more if she were his own child.” “Oh, Cherry! Cherry!” Faith rem- onstrated helplessly. “I don't see in being cruel—” “Before you begin your curtain lecture, darling, suppose we get Hope to bed,” Cherry suggested blithely. “I brought a couple of suitcases, one for me and one for Hope. I'll run out to the car and stagger in with New York, March 9.—The Big Town gossip: Sinclair Lewis, so we are told, will have plenty to say about marriage in his next tome, which comes out some time next ilt, cently “spilled the beans” on the Reno divorce colony wherein he dwelt while getting unwed, is now preparing But Cherry was not crying.

I suppose Crystal thinks she owns my old room by now and Tl have to be content with the one Dad used to have.” Before Faith could answer, Cherry flashed out of the room, her beaver coat hugged tightly about her tiny body. Ten minutes later, after the baby had been put to bed, it was a chastened, subdued little Cherry who crept into her sister's arms and whim- Ppered: “Please kiss me, Faith! Don't be an iceberg. No, I'm not ‘putting on’ —I'm really scared to death, and my heart is breaking.” Reluctantly, Faith's arms went about the small body, then tightened convulsively. “Now teil me exactly what all this means, Cherr; she commanded huskily: “Of course you know you made a disgraceful spec- tacle of yourself tonight, and spoiled my party. “I know!” Cherry sobbed, burrow- ing her head into Faith’s bosom, like ;@ punished child. “I was a beast, | Faith, but oh, I was so- furious I didn’t realize what I was doing! 1 could have killed Nils—he made me so mad! I hope he suffers, the big \rute, when he finds me gone! . . But, oh, Faith, what if he—he should not come after me?” The tear- drowned topaz eyes which she raised to her sister's face were wide with genuine terror. | NEXT: Cherry's confession. | (Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) | “Of course, you understand that | you will not mingle with the guests,” | the hostess purred. | artist, “Ill drop my price to $400.” | * x * | Oh, yes, and Deems Taylor, who ; Wrote the prize opera, “The King’s | Henchman,” has dropped the idea of | writing his next opera fro-.
