of the country are merely met with the
statement that Costa Rica is concerned in
everything that concerns its Central
American neighbors. Thus it seems that
not only does the Nicaragua protectorate
enter into the Costa Rican campaign. but
that Costa Rica expects TO enter into
Nlcaraguan politics.
II Is clearly evident that neither Costa
Rica nor the rest OF Central America was
prepared for the Bryan proposition. they
looked for something quite the opposite.
The attitude Of the new national admin
istration when IL came into power IN
Washington-that everything the previous
administration had done I'm foreign affairs
was wrong and should be reversed-made
very marked impression in Central
America. This was not In any way
changed by the warning declaration that
President Wilson issued Denunciation
by prominent Senators Of the landing Of
American marines In Nicaragua to pro-
tcct life, and the bitter opposition shown
To the treaties for the rehabilitation OF
the finances of Nicaragua and Honduras,
had created a feeling that previous poll
cies were To be reversed by lessenlng the
influence Of the United States in Central
America.
Instead. the proposal for the Near
aguan protectorate as put out by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan meant
the strengthening of the. American in
fuence along with the increased respon-
sbilities. Whatever forms Mr.. Bryans
projects may ultimately take. and how
ever they may be interpreted In the
United States. there is instructive recog-
milton I'm Central America that the pres
ent national administration in power In
Washington is now committed to extend
the influence OF the Tilted States. The
only question Is how that influence can
be strengthened benehcially.
Other questions are also involved. The

This grievance related to the treaty

Mr. Bryan's later proposition. This lat

outbreak OF popular sentiment, especially
since the rights of Costa Rica in con-
nection with the San Juan relate chiefly
to constructive damages which might

This talk of the Central American as

stones from another building were simply
the foundation stones of the already de-

That the Baptstery once itself stood
higher with relation to the street than it
now does is automatically recorded. In
1889, when the piazza on which II stands
was graded and the drainage system put
in. the level OF the streets was heightened
considerably. Now the level of the Bap-
tistery floor is below that OF the street.
One must descend two or three steps after
passing the bronze doors, and no doubt
one of the reasons why the floor filings
look so ancient is that the building has
for many centuries been one OF the chief
pilgrimage places of the world.
