The censorship is supposed to be due to the fact that the marines came off second best, as announcement of a great victory for the “devil dogs” would have stimulated of the New York Mirror and Hearst’s news service, which deciare that it is authentic. It is as follows: oe American marines have been kill-} ed and wounded in Nicaragua. The state and navy , departments have concealed this fact. Rigid cen-| sorship has prevented any leak, pri to this exclusive story in the Daily Mirror. Only 48 hours ago, the state and navy departments officially no- tified United States Senator Boran that there was no truth to reports of casualties in the Nicaraguan cam- paign.

He added that he would confer tm mediately with Senator Borah, chatr- man of the senate foreign relations committee, and demand a most sweeping investigation. This will mean that Major feneral | Lejeune, head of the marine corps, and other officers of that orgeniza- tion, will be subpoenaed to tell what they know. Congress is slated to adjourn in a few days. Senator Copeland helieves that state and navy departments have concealed the reports of casual- ties in order to head off an investi- gation. Concealed For Months. The Americans were killed and wounded in skirmishes with the ~ liberal troops about a month ago. Machine guns were used by the Nic- -araguans in defending themselves. Immediately after the casualties, the most rigid censorship was en- forced. It is impossible for war cor- respondents to get to the scenes of fighting, or ‘to send any dispatches from Nicaragua that are not censor- ed. The censorship in Nicaragua is much more rigid than anything ever attempted by the American army during the world war.
