the good offices of the United States can
save the people of Nicaragua from rev.
olution over the presidential succession.
Meanwhile other troubles are brewing
The people of the Atlantic coast side of
Nicaragua are seeking to secede from the
other part of the country. They claim
that for years and years they have borne
the bulk OF the burdens of the Nicara-
guam government while getting almost
none of its benefits. The customs on that
side of the great divide are paid in sill
yer, while those on the Pacific side are
paid in paper. The secession movement
has strong support on the east coast and
also in New Orleans. 1t seems almost
certain that unless the customs houses
of Nicaragua pass to the control Of the
United States under the treaty q war of
secession or else q war OF succession will
develop. and that fresh and greater trou-
bles will become the lot of war-ridden
Nicaraguans.

By Frederic J. Haskir,.

MANAGUA. Nicaragua, May II, 1917.
One can scarcely imagine, unless he
has been on the ground, the chaotic po-
litical conditions which exist in this war
ridden country. When the late Thomas
c. Dawson patched up provisional gov
eminent in Nicaragua. with Juan Estrada
as provisional president on the under.
standing that Estrada could not succeed
himself and the further understanding
that after two years there should be a
regular and fair election held to choose
the first president under the constitution
which was to be made by the provisional
government, Mr.. Dawson thought that
things had been fairly adjusted and that
all parties and factions would acquiesce
and help to make the new government a
success Everybody rejoiced at the de-
parture of Zelaya and were grateful 10
which resulted in his exile.
When Mr. Dawson. at that time flying
squadron of peace representing the State
Department left Nicaragua. the affairs
of the department were left in the hands
of Thomas p. Moffatt, who had made an
excellent record for himself at La Guira.
Venezuela. and who had afterward been
promoted first to be consul at Biueneids,
and after that to represent the United States
at Managua during the time diplomatic
relations were broken off between the two
countries. Moffatt was the intimate per-
sonal friend of Estrada and gave to that
gentleman the necessary word or encour-
agement at the critical moment Of his
revolution.
When diplomatic relations were again
about to be established he desired the

Peter Pan Statue Erected.

In the perfect sunshine of Mayday the
visible presence OF Peter Pan appeared in
Kensington Gardens. Mr.. Barrie's the
DRY was that he only comes out when the
gates Of Kensington Gardens are locked
upon the public. and the official board
responsible for kensington Gardens so
far accepted his declaration a. to give
him few years ago special key by
which he could admit himself 10 COM

see Peter Pan in broad daylight in Ken

is that he is bronze statue designed by
Sir George Frampton and exhibited in
