President SaCaSa
Leaves Nicaragua;
Marines Swarm In

PUERTO CABEZAS, Nicaragua,
May 22.-Attended by vast crowd
of Nicaraguans who recognize him as
their constitutional president, DR..
Juan b. Saeasa and staff left yes
terday on the sloop Wawa for Port
Limon, to spend a term as political
refugee in the friendly state of Qua
temala.
Occupation of most of the country
by U. S. marines, who are proceeding
under orders of President Coolidge's
direct representative Henry l. Slim
son to disarm the constitutional, Lib
eral armies and to maintain in power
the hireling of Wall Street, the pup
pet president, Adolfo Diaz, has
caused Sacasa to take this step.
Can Run Later.
After the United States, in the
name of Diaz, has policed the coun-
try for two years more, American
differed constabulary will allow Sa-
casa's group to run one of their num-
Der for president of the country
against Diaz. but the voting places
will be crowded with Diaz' armed
mercenaries, and the entire election
will be under the direct supervision
of the American forces which have
placed and maintain Diaz in office.
Sacasa's plea to Stimson and U. S.
Secretary of State Kellogg, that a
couple of other American countries
be allowed to act as joint supervisors
of the election, was hypocritically re-
fused by Kellogg, with the excuse
that the United States could do moth
ing about that unless Diaz should ask
for it too.
War Shoulders.
Part of Sacasa's army is expected
to remain in the interior of the coun-
try, protected by the population which
is almost a solid unit in opposition to
the traitor Diaz and his rule. There
will probably be guerrilla warfare and
at any time the vigilance of the u. S.
navy and the American differed con-
stabulary relaxes, there will be a
mass insurrection against Diaz. But
the open warfare is considered by
most to be ended for the time being.
The independence of Nicaragua has
been brutally crushed out, Nicara-
guans agree, by the United States
naval and marine forces, and one
more conquest is added to the empire
Of American business.
Was Recognized.
Sacasa's government was recog-
nized by Mexico and other countries,
and the Diaz, conservative armies
were on the point of complete defeat
at the time the United States openly
interviewed.
The U. S. minister at Managua OF
one time threatened to expose instruc-
tons from Kellogg to do all possible
to keep Diaz in power and destroy
liberal sentiment at time VII sn the
Coolidge administration was assert
ing its neutrality" in the internal
affairs of Nicaragua.

The crowd, augmented by the
almost continuous arrival of
hillmen, quickly realized that
the store building would not
hold half Of the spectators al
ready present, and with Squire
Hills consent they constructed
rude, split-rail jury-box IN
grove of chestnut trees back of
the barn, and then carried out a
table, a chair or two and such
equipment of the court as was
necessary.

Their hands met in a friendly

There was unwonted activity
on Paw-Paw Creek throughout
the f lowing week, and the grist

on FRIDAY instead of Saturday as
was customary and had been for
more than fifty years. No event
in a decade had so stirred those

approaching trial of Drum, and
it was certain that Squire

the mecca Of all On Saturday

been on the preceding Sunday.
When it .ecame known that
the verbose and spectacular
Colonel Marcus Hannibal Wright
was to defend Drum, the in
terest increased if such was
humanity possible and then, too,
there was much curiosity in re-
gard Rockby Vance's first case

was known 20 everyone, having
spent almost as much time with
his Uncle Jase as he had at
home.
By sunup on Saturday morn

en- masse upon Squire Green
berry Hills place back near the
head of Twin Branches, half
way between Paw-Paw and Elk
horn Greeks since he served
both sections. And not only was
Paw-Paw represented, but there
was quite a sprinkling of the
denizens Of Elkhorn, and a few
even from Rock Castle beyond
Indian River.
There were a score or more
horses hitched to the fence near
the barn when Windy Jase and
Rockby arrived soon after nine
o'clock, and the porch in front |

greeted Jase and Rockby warm

Are We Over Organic I'd?

Sociologists (social Worriers)
express fear that there are bad
effects in the modern eagerness
to organize everybody and every
thing. They charge that tne cou-
ntry is being over-organized, and
that people are thus losing indiv-
duality.
That organizations carry on
ideals and carry out projects is
not to be deplored. But that we
are thus losing our individuality
is of serious concern. But what
is there to do about it? The insti-
net to band men and women to-
gether has ever been predonin-
ant Even in ancient and medieval
ages there were scholarships,
societies, protective associations
and various orders Of knighthood.
Government itself is the product
of organization.
1t is true that if one wants
to put over some scheme, worthy
or unworthy, he seeks organized
force to accomplish his ! urposs.
1t has also come to be true that
if man pleads alone for an ISIS
ue he is called a crank; but if he
does it thru an organization he is
regarded as q booster.
1t is not organization that
does the damage: it is the merit
and the need Of the particular
proposition that should give con-
Germ, and be Distinguished from
the unworthy, the inopertune and
the inconsistent. 1t is not that
people are organized that does
harm. The real danger is that
they might use the power of num-
bers for accomplishment of un-
worthy projects or selfish pur-
poses.
These times are different
from those of Aristotle, and even
from those of Shakespeare, Car
lyle and Emerson who unaided by
organizations solely impressed
their ideas upon the world to SUI
CHI extent that their works are
part of the living literature OF to
day. The plan now found most Ell
ficient, indeed indispensable, for
civic and national welfare is org
anization. The social religious, ed

The military status of BROOKS and
Mason is that of aviation instructors
in the national guard of Nicaragua
under a contract which provides for a
bonus in addition to their salaries
when they fly over enemy lines dur
ing war time. They have not taken
the oath of allegiance. The men are
employed primarily as instructors and
observers. Their bombing expeditions
are under the orders of the COM
mander-in-chief of the army.
Both men, answering Liberal ac-
cusations that they were responsible
for the deaths of women and children
in the battle of Chinandega some time
ago, denied that their bombs had done
more than frighten off some of the
Liberal soldiers, and declared that no
non-combatants were injured. They
asserted that at no time did their
bombing injure any but belligerents
in active combat.
