VENEZUELA CASE PUT OFF
Until After Adjournment of the Peace
Congress

Washington, May 1O--The British
Venezuela arbitration which was TO
begin a Paris on the oath of this month
has been postponed until June Is. An
inference has been drawn from this
pOstpOnement that tho cars peace
congress viii be brief. as Mr. Maertens
the eminent Russian jur.st. is one of the
Russian delegates TO the cars congress
and also one Of the arbitrators on the
British-VeuazueIa question It was i'm
possible therefore for him to be present
at both events \ pOstponement of the
meeting in Paris was thereupon ar
ranged until June L. with the under
standing that Mr. NIaerteus' service at
The Hague would not be required be-
yOnd that date
Being one of the cars personal rep
resentatives, it is hardly expected Mr.
Maerteus would leave the congress
while it was in session. so that the ar
rangement just concluded is taken to
indicate that the peace congress will BE-
over by June 15-thus giving about three
weeks for discussion
