AIMED TO PROTECT AMERICANS
Declared Unitod States Has Moral
Mandate to Exert IU Influence For
Preservation of General Peace
In Central America,
Washington, Sept, 10. Prominent
government olllcers were of the opinion
that tho cjumplete statement of the pol
icy of thif United Stntes in tho Nlcnra
gunn situation ns issued nt the stato
department In the form of tho text of a
note presented to tho Nlcaragunn gov
ernment by united States Minister
Weitzel would go fnr townrd clarifying
the Central Amerlcnu situation.
This note, which wns Issued on tele
graphic Instruction from Acting Secre
tary of Stato Huntington Wilson, has
been placed In tho hands of the rebel
lenders In tho recent Nlcaragunn revolt
nnd published in every newspaper In
the country.
Tho statement will also be telegraph
ed to every United Stntes legation In
Central Aineiicn and by them cominu-
nlcnted to the peoples of tho various
countries.
Guard American Legation.
The note asserts tho purpose of the
Unitod Stntes to gunrd tho American
logntion, protect Americnn life nnd
property and prevent a recurrence of
the corrupt nnd barbarous order of
things which prevailed under the tyr
annical rule of tho former dictator,
President Zelnya. It reads In part:
"The policy of the government of tho
Unitod 8tates In the present Nicani-
guan disturbances Is to tnko the neces
sary meuHurcs for nn ndequnto legation
guard at Mnnngun, to keep open com
munication nnd to protect Americnn
life and property.
In discountenancing Zelayn, whose
regime of barbarity nnd corruption was
ended by the Nlcaragunn nation nfter n
bloody war, the government of the
United Stntes opposed not only the in
dividual, but tho system, and tills gov
ernment could not countenance any
movomont to restore the same destruc
tive reglmo.
Property Is Imperiled.
'A group of some 125 American plant
ers residing In ono region In Nicaragua
havo applied for protection. Some two
dozen American firms doing business
In that country have applied for pro
tection. Tho American bankers wjio
hnyo made Investments in relation to
railroads and steamships In Nicaragua
In connection with a plan for tho relief
of tho financial distress of that country
have applied for protection. Tho Amer
ican citizens now in the service of the
government of Nicaragua and the lega
tion Itself have been placed In actual
Jeopardy under Arc.
Under tho Washington conventions
the United States has n moral mandate
to exert Its influonco for the preserva
tion of tho general pence of Central
America, which Is seriously menaced
by the present rising, and to this end
In tho strict enforcement of tho Wash
ington conventions and loyal support of
their alms and purposes all tho Central
American republics will find means of
valuable, co-operation. These aro among
tho important moral, political and ma
terial Interests to be protected."

Wo aro sorry to have our towns
man, George Clymer Abraham, move
from our midst. Mr. Abraham has 1
proved himself a genial neighbor, a
worthy and respected citizen, and a i
practical and conservative business i
man worthy of all confidence. His
first business activity began nearly
twenty-five years ago, when ho be
gan a general mercnntlle trafllc In 1
Galilee. He did much for that sec- I
tion of country as ho opened a door
for faun produce and supplied the I
people of a wide area with neces
saries for which they had been
obliged to go a long distance for.
As circumstances permitted ho wld-i
pnPfl his Mmirt nt hnalnoQc until Via I
handled everything within the needs
of the average farmer. He was the
first 'business manager of the cream
ery started in Galileo in 1898. He
has been honored by township offlces,
being now school director and secre
tary of tho board. Since locating
here at Damascus, Mr. Abraham has
mostly been active as a lumberman,
operating two steam mills at one
time. Besides all this ho, for sever
al years, was undertaker and furni
ture dealer, being succeeded In this
about a year by his able' assistant.
Corwin H. Valentine. Mr. Abraham's
health has been failing for some
time, and for this reason he. and
others Interested In his general wel
fare, thinks perhaps a change of cli
mate may be beneficial to him. We
have not learned definitely where
Mr. Abraham and family may yet lo
cate, nor has he fully decided upon
tne point Himself, but It will be In a
more balmy clime than ours. We
wish for Mr. Abraham many useful
years of activity and a recuperation
of flagging energies, and that he
may continue to fill his nicho In the
world to a good old age.
