Dear Sir:-Your letter OF the 26th

for citizenship papers at hand. Up
on looking this up we find that his

which will leave plenty Of time to
complete custer proceedings before
he can become a citizen.
II appears to us that II the MORAL
EFFECT Of men holding office in this
city. who by technicalities might be
disqualified, is so bad, as to justify
their being ousted from office. then
II must surely be a grave crime for
man who is not even a citizen of the

We must therefore insist that you
do your full duty TO the good people
of Pendleton. and start custer pro-

affected.
The president explained the note

will form the basis for demands for
damages after the war.
II was evident from the presidents
explanation that wherever one gov

of a neutral nation. the offending ma
tion eventually must pay for the
transgressions. From his statement
It is inferred that the United States
intends to ask millions OF dollars

that England herself took a similar
position in former wars.
