...yesterday we learned that the Nicaraguan Conservative leader, Diaz, (president or usurper depending on the point of view) wishes to convert his country into a United States protectorate. His action lends color to the report that he is controlled by "vested interests", New York bankers in particular. Two weeks ago 1000 additional Marines were dispatched to aid Admiral Latimer. In their efforts to protect American lives and property and the surveyors' stages that are the proposed Nicaraguan Canal they have occupied two positions of vital strategic importance toward which the Liberals were aiming...

It was on the thick powerful finger* of a medium-sized cask of a man, whom two Mexican "very, very courteous" police sergeants a month ago had escorted out of Mexico, over the Guatemala border?Pasquale Diaz, Bishop of Tabasco, now exile.

...Alejandro Cesar, newly appointed Minister of the Diaz Government of Nicaragua, presented, his credentials at the White House last week. President Coolidge told him that the U. S. marines would not stay in Nicaragua "longer than is necessary." ¶As it must to some, rose fever came last week to President Coolidge. It causes a slight irritation in the membranes of his nose and throat. "It is not serious," said the physicians, "but it is annoying." ¶Dover (N. J.) Lodge No. 541 of the Loyal Order of Moose invited President Coolidge to become a member. His secretary despatched...
