This Is War, Gentlemen!
Beals, Carleton | April 11, 1928 issue

The author and his colleagues met the first Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras, on their way in to Sandino's territory. In fact, they had supper in the house of a bearded carver of saints who had had his house burned in the battle of Ocotal. And on the trail from Escuapa to the frontier they met long trails of émigrés, something with merely the clothes on their backs, others. With a few salvaged possessions in gunnysacks, so the with chickens; one bent old woman came driving a pig. Clear to the frontier in Honduras, indeed clear to the flanks of El Chipote and beyond, they met these same straggling lines of homeless and dispossessed.
