NO MEDIATION So FAR
But Hint That Uncle Sam Will
Have No War on the
lsthmus.
NOT IF he HAS TO FIGHT HIMSELF
Colombia Welcomes Our Offer. but
Venezuela Is Not So Definite
The Situation.

Washington. Sept. 5.-The action OF
the United States in rendering its good
offices TO Venezuela and Colombia ts
avert war between those countries
has not advanced TO point where this
government has begun the work OF
mediator. 1t has signitied its willing
ness to act. but it will remain for the
two countries to indicate when the
time has arrived for actual mediation.
Colombia already has made known
that she Will welcome the exercise of
the pacific offices of the United States.
In this acceptance it is understood that
Colombia denies that she has invaded
Venezuela. and also places the burden
of the issue on President Castro in per-
son. as against the body of the Ven
eZuelan people.
Venezuela Is Less Definite
The response of Venezuela is under
stood to he less definite in accepting
the good offices of the United States.
For the present. therefore. il is not eX-
pected that the United States win
take further steps, although its tender
stands as n clear intimatiOn to the con-
tending sides that the United States
is likely to take action to prevent war.
The Colombian minister. DIR. Silva. and
the Venezuelan charge d'affaires. Sc
nor PulidO. left for Buffalo in the Pan
American party yesterday. which
seems to indicate that no immediate
crisis is expected.
COIOmbia's RejOinder to Castro.
The Colombian government Will
make an emphatic rejoinder TO the of
fetal statement of Venezuela that
armed invasionS by Colombian troops
have been made over the Venezuelan
frontier and have been forcing war
upon that country. Although the
terms of the reply. are. not determined
upon il Will endeavor TO show in sub
stance that the attitude of Colombia
has been one of fOrbearance: that CO.
lombian troops on the frontier are
there for the legitimate purpose OF
protecting the border. and that any
crossing of the line has been by de-
tached bands. without the approval of
tine federal government.
VIII Instance a Case in Point
As against NeneZuela'S assertions
that Colombia is forcing war it is like
" to he pointed out that Colombia has
remained silent while Venezuela has
received the Colombian inSurgent lead
er. General Uribe-Uribe at Caracas,
and that President Castro and Tribe
Tribe have held conferences on their
mutual plans.
Statement from Uribe-Uribe.
In this connection. it has just been
disclosed that General Uribe-Uribe
made Il statement at the Colombian
legation in this city to the effect that
the revolutionary movement of which
he is the head had the support of
Venezuela. Ecuador and Nicaragua.
The statement was made during the
Dendency of negotiations for the sur
render of the revOlutiOnists.

HOW the nIlstletoe Comes 10 nr.

The story of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is most interesting one.
Covering the mistlatoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the
winter season, when food is compara-
lively scarce, and hence some OF our
birds eat them freely. Now when
robin eats cherry he swallows simply
the meat and fiji the stone away. The
seed Of the mistletoe the bird cannJE
flip. 1t is sticky and holds to his bill
His only resource Is to wipe il off, an +
he does So, leaving it sticking to th
branches OF the tree on which he
sitting at the time. This seed sprouf
after time, and not finding earth
which indeed it's ancestral habit has
made it cease wanting-it sinks its
roots into the bark OF the tree and
hunts there for the pipes that carry the
sap. Now the sap in the bark is the
very richest in the tree, far richer thar
that in the wood, and the mistletr
gets from its host the choicest Of foot
With strange foresight 1t does no,

sites, but keeps them to use in winter,
