DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES.
British Greed Forced VeneZuelans
From Their Own Territory.

FORT WAYNE, IND, Dec. 22.-George
K. Terrence, prominent real estate man
of this city. spent two years in Cartha-
gena, one OF the largest of the Venezuelan
cities. In 1874 and 1875 he and his wife
were permanent residents of that republic,
and they are very familiar with the
boundary question now in dispute, as the
same misunderstanding as to territorial
boundaries were in controversy at that
time In speaking of the boundary dis
pute Mr.. Terrence said:
"When I was a resident of Venezuela in
1875 the boundary question was in dis
pute, and out of my own curiosity [
looked the question up. l talked with
both the English and American Consuls,
and also with Guzman Blanco, who was
then President of Venezuela, but who is
now a sort of exiled citizen, with a
home in Paris.
~ learned that the territory of British
Guiana was originally Dutch province,
and, according to a treaty, or rather an
agreement, between Holland and Vene-
zuela in 1851, Guiana extended as far west
as the east bank of the Essequlbo River.
II you look at the map now you will see
ony, extends far west of the Essequibo
River, which was at one time its most
western boundary. The British occupied
Guiana, and in every way possible have
ever since endeavored to extend their
province into Venezuelan territory.
1.-The reason for extending the province
is that the British have discovered gold in
the streams and mountains west of the
Essequibo River. The poor. indolent and
half-civilized natives and the Indian tribes
have been driven back from the frontier
not forced in a warlike manner, but have
been compelled to leave their homes be-
cause the British would squat on them and
claim them a few weeks later as their own
personal property. The ignorant natives
and the better informed residents of Vene-
zuela were alike thus driven from territory
they had called home for years.
"These British subjects in their greed
for gold did not stop in their encroach-
ments upon Venezuelan territory, but as
soon as the new gold fields were discovered
the natives were driven away or dispos-
sessed of their lands.''

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 22.-President
Cleveland's message regarding the bound
ary dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain, which has given rise to so much
"wsr talk" was referred to by many min
listers in their sermons to-day. ALI the
divines spoke in favor of moderation in
the discussion of the question with Great
Britain, and some went so far as to say
that the very thought of war between
the United States and Great Britain was
criminal. The Rev. DR.. Rainsford in re-
ferring to the international situation,

Monroe doctrine is or is not part of the

1t is part of the settled foreign policy of

whether the Presidents Interpretation
of the doctrine in the present case can be
found in the phraseology of the message
of 1923 is mere pettifogging. His inter-
probation is a logical deduction from the
spirit and purpose of that message. The
United States cannot permit the forcible
extension of European territory on this
continent. That must be resisted by all
means in our power

COLON, COLOMBIA, Dec 22.-There was

through the Consul, heartily commended
for the action it had taken. The streets in

following to the representative in this city

Nothing in President Cleveland's

President Penna Exhorts Miners 10 Act In q

CoLUMB ss. o., April IA manifesto

United Mine Workers advising tho settle
ment Of tho mining scale for the coming
year by districts. The present scale ex-
pires May I, and the Pittsburg operators
havo refused To meet the Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois operators In Joint conference.
President Penna says: 1T may still
appear TO some people that tho operators
ana miners I'm Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
could have held q convention and agreed
OH a schedule Of prices without these
Pittsburg disputes. II seems To me that
the experience last year should dispel
this idea. Early last year the Ohio miners
accepted reduction Of 20 cents per ton
forced to do 40 because mining rates had
boon reduced In the Pittsbuag district
"Again, last December, when the Pitts
burg operators, who had signed the scale
In Juno In accordance with contract pro-
vision, were relieved from It's obligations
and reduced the mining rates, n large por-
tion OF Ohio miners were again made to
suffer, not In the form Of reduction In
tho price OF mining this time. but by en-
forced idleness, and TO such an extent that
relief was asked from the charitable peo-
pio OF Ohio by the governor Of the state.
This, IL seems, Is enough to convince
anyone OF the ability OF the Pittsburg
district to control the mining situation In
Ohio" President Pcnna recommends

the roads are positively impossible for

not wait until the Legislature provides
for the building of better roads
yea. for the building of best roads

How Much France Drinks

pints of wine, 16 of cider, n of beer,
and rather over II pints per head N

In whisky-drinking Scotland the an.
nual rate per head of whisky consumn
ton was, in 1928. just a little oye,

tity Of wine also required there for
their annual wants. In view of this
it is strange that travellers still renor
that drunkenneSS-aS we unfortunatA

Of very rare occurrence.
The PariSians are represented as
temperate drinkers, though they drink
just about as many glasses of spirits
as the Scotch Ohe largest CONSUMES
Of spirits in Britainl, besides nearly
thirty times as many glasses of wine
as they do of spirits, not to speak Of a
fair allowance of cider and beer. And
at CherbOurg the inhabitants take Two

its as the Scotch. not to speak Of cider,

and presumed that women and chA.
dren have little or nothing to do with
the figures for the consumption of spir'

at all. some folks must take pretty
large doses.
