An official explanation of the pres- ence of United States Marines in Nica- ragua is made by the State Department in a 77-page pamphlet published yes- terday. The department reviews fully in the document the relations between the United States and Nicaragua dating back to 1909, dealing with revolution after revolution and noting the con- stant watchfulness necessary on the part of this country to protect Ameri- can citizens and property in the Cen- tral American country. The department sets forth fully de- tails of the arrangements leading up to the request of Nicaragua that the United States supervise its presidential election this Fall. The carrying into effect of the Tipitapa agreement and the participation of the Marines in that work are described. A resume of the military engagements in which the Ma- rines have engaged since April 18 in running down bandits shows a Marine loss of 21 men. The publication was issued by the State Department to meet the demands of foreign affairs students in educa- tional institutions who have been de- bating both sides of the question of American participation in Nicaragua's effairs. These students have been swamping the State Department with requests for official information. " TrE Heer Co. Annual August RUG SALE | begins Monday.
