MCARAGOA WAR FOUND EXCITING Marives Fight in Jungles and Nountains “Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 20 (P— A type of warfare so exciting, dan. gerous and novel as to satisfy the most seasoned “devil dog™ confronts | United States marines in Nicaragua | and awaits the thousand more men | who are on their way as reinforce- | ments for the troops battling Gen- eral Augustino Sandino and his rebel band. Jungles and mountains, tranquil stregms which become torrents in | broken glass and nails, with which | Sandino’s men have been showering {the Americans are copies of those | dropped on the rebels in last year's | mules bog up and balk. This the its ranks more than a dosen former American service men, mostly of Nicaraguan, Cuban or Costa Rican extraction, thoroughly familiar with the tactics of the marines. The pos- aible presence of some of these men may explain harrassing methods now employed by the rebels. Home-made bombs, filled with | fighting by aviators employed by Diaz. Ambush is the popular form ef guerilla warfare and the country ds itself readily to the tactic. In Nueva Segovia® roads are but one- way mule trail sedging cliffs and | following river bottoms. In the dry season the river beds are roads. Oxen take days to travel 20 miles, marines must face to transport ra- tions or to reinforce a besieged gar- | the rainy season and spread beyond thelr beds to leave impenetrable mud; women who follow their men into battle and natives that fight by | their own rules of warfare have | compelled the marines to adapt their methods to unusual conditions. | Landing a force of marines at Corinto, principal port on the west coast of Nicaragua, entails a trip| from the Atlantic seaboard through | the Panama canal to the Pacific. | Then the trouble begins. From Corinto to Granada the nation’s only | railroad extends for approximately | 70 miles. It is a narrow guage affair on a shaky roadbed, nro\mdl treacherous curves and through nar- row passages. The trip is hazard-| ous at the maximum speed of 12 miles an hour. | Chinandega, scene of one of the | Dbloodlest battles of last year's revo- | lution; Managua, the capital, *and | Granada, seat of the conservative | party, are the three principal bases from which the marine forces have operated. | Recent fighting between the ma- | rines and Sandino's forces has cen- | tered in the remote province of | Nueva Segovia. It is mountainous | and affords ideal battling ground | for the rebels. Quilali and Chipote, two of the . towns, might as well be a thousand miles from | the marine base headquarters, for | ten miles in Nicaragua's jungle is squal to several hundred in the United States. To meet this disadvan mod- ern war planes are at the sc but each flight involves risk because of the jungles and mountains and the lack of landing fields. The native Nicaraguan, contrary to popular opinion, is a splendid shot. Hundreds are employed in normal times as hunters and pro- visioners for mahogany camps, ba- ' nana plantations and golh mine They make remarkable snipers, hi ing in the dense foliage, Scampering away after they have shot. Able to obtain food where a white man would starve and almost im- mune to tropical diseases, the native makes his way through the wastes to return from another angle and attack. Members of the guerilla bands are subject to the rule of the bullet for cowardice, desertion, spying or dis- respect for the leader. They have had little actual training and that in most cases from natives who werce | communication system sends back El| rison. The elements and geography prohibit the use of tanks or heavy artillery. A not unusual maneuver of the jungle warriors of Nicaragua is to send out as a scouting party women who, riding side saddle, gather mountain rice and tropical fruits for their men and at the same time collect information. A grapevine word of the location of the marines. The women then hurry back to hand out bullets, carry food and relay | orders while many actually take arms themselves. During the revolution of 1926-27 women played major parts in sev-| eral engagements, A 19-year-old Indian girl of Manggua, Natalie Gar- cia by name, served at the battle of Chinandega with the ¢ forces. She formed a batallion” of about a score, direct- ing them until a bullet lodged itself in her breast. 7The Nicaraguan “mozo,” Or peas- ant class, either purt Indian or & mixture of Spanish and Indian, s stoical and fearless when aroused, though slow to anger and not eager to fight. Their attitude in battle is fatalistic. Familiar with the coun- try, seemingly impervious to ris-} and able to keep healthy with virtually no food, the Nicaraguan | with a grievance is no mean foe in | Lis native land.

Belection of the thirteen starlets by members of the Wampas, an or- ganization of motion picture pub- licity men, has no official signifi- cance beyond registering the en- thusiasm of some preas agents for a baker's dozen of the mewer film faces. Unofficially and actually, however, the designation *“Baby Star” is generally the stamp of ap- proval of some producing organiza- tion powerful emough to help e recipient very materially in er struggle toward genuine stardom. The young player chosen a Baby Star is in practically all cases as- sured of at least a few real oppor- tunities to make good during the SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND LIFELESS DAYS Constipation ruins rest Don't let this deadly evil fasten its hold upon you. 8, before the eyes.

Just now there is much argument and speculation as to the thirteen who will be named the Baby Stars of 1928. Among thase who are con- ceded to have the best chances of election are meveral who were ab- solutely unknown to picture goers 8 year ago. There is, for instance, Lupe Ve. lex, the vivacious Mexican dancer “discovered* by Roach and put in comedies about eight months ago, and later discovered again by Douglas Fairbanks, Her success opposite Fairbanks in “The Gau- cho” and her subsequent selection by DeMille to play opposite Rod LaRocque haveastarted her upward a pace calculated to make her selection by ‘Wampas a mattes of course. Another is Nena Quar- taro, the New York girl whom James Cruse pioked out of the ex- tra ranks and ‘s grooming for stare dom. And still another is Sue Care voil, who arrived in Hollywood last February and played her first lead opposite Douglas MacLean about six months ago. Other girls who are being put forward as candidates for the t'.ir- teen places include several already pretty well known by the earnest film fan. Among them are Ruth Taylor, chosen to piay the lead in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes;" Mry- na Loy, in training for stardom at Warner Brothers; Barbara Worth and Dorothy Gulliver, Universal's preferred ingenues; Jeanette Loff, blonde discovery of . B. DeMille; Sonnett; Molly O'Day, Richard Barthelmess’ leading woman in “The Patent Leather Kid,” and Alice White, Greek flapper in “The Private. Life of Helen of Troy. Janvary - SALES! Puretest OREGON POSSES IN HUNT FOR BANDITS Sbarp Shooting Banker Kills Two Holdap Nea Portland, Ore., Jan. 30 (M—Police of Oregon and Washington today patrolled a wide area in the search for four bandits who fled after see- ing two of their companions slain in an attempt to loot the suburban Mount Scott atate bank here. The marksmanship of A. J. De Morest, cashier, brought {nstant death to two of the bandits—one with a bullet through his neck and the other with a 30-30 rifie slug No worthy pistol had jammed. While he sought to force a cartridge into the cham- ber, De Morest shot him in the head. The cashier then ran from the bullding and shot at one of the bandit cars. It is believed that he wounded one of the fugitives.
