The Minister in Liberia ( Curtis) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

Bacchante returned 15th to await instructions. Last night large meeting of citizens from various sections of the Republic enthusiastically endorsed action of Government concerning Germany without a dissenting vote. Approval of citizens down coast also made known, including the Chief Justice. The dominant note sounded was that no guaranty from the Government of the United States was necessary because the attitude of the Government of the United States towards Liberia in the past is a sufficient guaranty as to the future.
