KEEPING 1T SECRET

TO vENEzUELA's PRESIDENT.
It's Contents Said to He Guarded by
London Press ON the Incident.

LONDON, Dec. N.-A dispatch to the
Times from Caracas, Venezuela, dated
Dec. ], says The British utimatum has
been delivered here, but the Ministers are
reticent as to it's contents There are no
signs of any anti-English feeling here. The
authorities assert that the revolution has
been completely crushed and that there are
only few scattered Insurgents in outly-
ing districts"
The Times also publishes letter from
Caracas which says that the Venezuelans
are themselves hopeless OF preventing the
judgment going against them on The ques-
tion Of frontier outrage on the British Gui-
ana policemen. and the delay in making
reparation, the correspondent adds, prob
ably arises from the shakiness of Pres:-
cent Crespos authority and his fear of in
curing unpopuiarity.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
quotes an article from the Journal Des
Debats, commenting on the Venezuelan dis
pute. which says: In spite OF its immense
industrial power the United States does
not possess the military and naval forces
which, after all, are at he bottom OF every
diplomatic discussion which Is carried
rather far"
The Times also publishes an editorial,
commenting upon the. foregoing subject,
which contends that the Monroe doctrine
cannot be applied either 10 the boundary
line dispute or TO Great Brftains demand
for reparation on account of outrage upon
the officers of British Guiana. 1T is no
more possible" says the Times, Ito sub
mite the territory within the Schomberg
line to arbitration than 1t would be for the
United States to submit to arbitration
should Spain set up a claim to part of
Florida. The remarks of the Journal Des
Debats are not conceived in a friendly or
delicare spirit. but they have an element
Of truth, which sensible Americans cannot
ignore. 1t is easy TO see that IL this contro-
versy is not skillfully handled, state of
things might arise among the ill-governed

HOW IONGo

How long must the civilized world
be made periodically sick with horror
by the tales of fiendish outrage and
cruelty perpetrated by Turkish and
Kurdish devils incarnate in Armenia?
When will Christian and civilized
Europe rise in just and righteous
wrath and sweep these barbaric hordes
back into Asia, where they belong, and
establish a Christian government in
Turkey?
Every civilized soul that has been
sickened by the recital of these incon-
ceivable horrors of cruelty practiced
upon Armenians by Turkish fiends re-
volts and mutely appeals in the name
Of humanity against the hellish bar
barity.
1t is an appeal that is worldwide
and too strong to so unheeded by the
powers. by whose suffrance and for
whose purposes Turkeys government
exists.
