Rudolph Forster forwards William Loeb the text of a telegram just received from Philip Marshall Brown, reporting on progress toward an armistice in the war in Central America. At the request of Guatemalan President Manuel Estrada Cabrera, Brown has informed the Government of Honduras that Guatemala “will not force trouble if Honduras will not molest Guatemala.” Honduras may need direct encouragement from Washington to make peace.
