The President's announcement followed publication of an official communique by Minister of War Hector Suarex. The communique said "After the recent bloody outrage which the Bolivian army suffered at Fort Tanguardia without our forgetting our International dutiea in the oath given to maintain peacewe declared before the League of Nations that Bolivia was undeniably bound as a duty to demand satisfaction and take military measures of a defensive character. "This was in view of the fact that Paraguay was concentrating forces at many advanced positions to a point nearby our lines and it waa logical to expect new incidents would occur. "Our logical forecasts were carried out aa Paraguayan military detachments menaced our Chaco forts provoking a bloody encounter with our troops who heavily defeated the Paraguayans after which we occupied Fort Bogueron. "The Bolivian army carried out its duty.

"Glory to the heroes sacrificed for the honor of the flag. "La Pas, Dec. 15, 1928." Great excitement prevailed through the city after the announcement.

The announcement came at a time when renewed war -like activities had been evident throughout the day. Crowds had gathered to read the government's replies to the League of Nations' Council and the International permanent Commission at Montevideo.
