Relations Between Venezuela and
Colombia Are Seriously Strained.
The state department has received con-
tilmation of the notification from the Co

it has terminated diplomatic relations.
This came in tho shape of a cablegram
from Minister Hart. The action is the
result of the hasty withdrawal last Au-
gust from the Venezuelan capital of the
Colombian minister there. Such a breach
does not necessarily mean war, though
this is undoubtedly a step i'll that direc.
