The mo Washington, Feb. 24—The _United Statea government was asked by Panama today to use fts gond offices to avold any bloodshed in Central America growr‘: out of the allezed invasion of 'Panai eoil by Costa n troops. Acting on instructions from President Porras, Charge d'Affaires LeFevre, of the Panama legation; informed the state de- partment that what first advices describe as an influx of political refugees from Costa Rica to Panama was actually an armed invasion. Mr. LeFevre requested that the United States intercede with the Costa.Rican minister here. A message réceived by Mr. LeFevre from his government and communicated to Under Secretary of State Davis was to the effect that troops, acting on in- structions_from the Costa Rican capital at San Jose had occunied territory bor- dering on the Coto,: Golfito and Colorado rivers. An armed mission headed by General Manuel Quintero, a member of President Porras’ cabinet, was said to have been dispatched from Panama to the threaten- ed region by way of Divid, where civil- lan troops are being mr )ilized. The pur- pose of this expedition, the cable stated, was to “rezain sovereignty over the in- vaded territory” . AFTER CHILDREN OF EUROPE COMES THE. NEEDS FOR CHINA New York, Feb. 24.—(By The A. P.)

The secrecy of the proceedings of the councii of the league today provoked lively spec- ulation as to the effect of the American note upon the different members. It be- came known when the full text of the note was made publie today that the United States; in addition to making res- ervations with respect to the Island of | 25 Yap, attributed to Japan as mandatory, claimed an equal concern and interest with the other principal alied and as- sociated powers in the disposition of the overseag possessions of Germany. The theory hag beén advanced that the the question again brought to the forefront by the United Btates would be for Japan to say that she did mot insist upon the mandate for the Island of Yap and would ‘be agreeable to the internationalization of Yap under Japanese supervision Thus far the Japanese government has not committed iself, and the general im- pression is that tué whole matter must B0 to the supreme eounmcil. the members of the council of the league being unable in any event to take a deeided position on a question .of Intemational policy without approval of their governments. The adversaries of publicity in con- nection with the prooceedings of the coun- cil succeeded foday in hermetically clos- ing both miorning and afternoon sessions. Very little leaked out as to details of the discussions, and no official communique was issued. The mere announcement was made this evening that the c¢juncil had continued to consider the Polish-Lithuan- fan_conftiet. | The agenda for today ecalled for the hearing of a representative of the Swiss government on its refusal of permission to contingents of troops detailed by the league to keep order in the Vilna plebis- cite zone, to cross Switzerland, and also Polish complaints that Austria was not only. refusing the naturalization of Ga- lician Jews whe had taken refpge in Aus- tria from Gallcian territory etached by the treaty of St. Germals, but was threatening them with expulsion. when I calk ladder, hanging a right.
