ASKS BOARD OF HEALTH FOR WIFE
RUSSIAN NoBLEMAN SEEKING ALLIANCE
WITH $4,000. WRITES TO DIR. LEDERLE-

President Ledere of the Board of Health re-
ceived yesterday a letter from Russian noble
man. who evidently thinks that the Board OF
Health is a municipal matrimonial bureau The
letter says that the writer is seeking wife who
has $4,000 in her right. There are number
If good looking young women eligible for marriage
employed in the Board of Health Building as ste
nographers. typewrters and telephone operators.
and President Lederle thought IT only fair that
they should have chance to get the Russian no
bleman. In every instance the young women said
they hadn't the portion of $5000 which the Rus
sian wanted. but that if they had they
wouldn't marry him.
My Jack il only foreman in pie factory, said
one but he is good enough for me
Another said all the Russians she had ever seen
had long whskers and queer things. and she
detoSted both habits.
Following is translation of the letter:

Il LETTER FROW CASTRO.
Refuses to BcHeJe that Force UW
be Used 1euind Tene~Ueld.

Caracas, Dec. S-The Venezuelan press pub
fishes an open letter from President Castro on
the embrogIio with Great Britain and Germany.
In this communication President Castro says:
Foreign ca bic dispatches relate that certain for
ejgn nations among them Great Britain and Ger
many have allied themselves together to carry
out acts of violence and aggression against Ven
ezuela and their manner of obtaining the re-
sumption of the payment of interest on the
public debt was tn he suspected as a Conse-
quenCe of the revolution that | lately crushed
notwithstanding the official character OF TINS
news refuse to believe it because II is lncon-
ceivable that nations which entertain cordial
and friendly relations with Venezuela should
prefer to resort to force rather than foioW tne
diplomatic path especially when the supposed
difference comes fully within the jurisdiction OF
our laws which are based the principle of
Justice which together with the other attributes
of authority have just redeemed Had Ven
ezueIa refused to fulfil her fiscal engagements
and had Justice and diplomacy exhausted their
resources against such an attempt. only then
could such extreme acts be expected, but this
will never happen
President Castro explains further on that his
government did not increase the debt OF Nenez-
ueIs and that he paid al that was ordered dur
ing the revolution, including the German and
other railroad freight charges occasioned by the
+rapsnortation of troops. These acts. he says,
sbou1d prove the honesty of his administration
and what foreigners should expect of him.
Peace is not far off and with it the fulhlment
of all his promises He continues:
HonorabIy | cannot do more / put honor
first and will not seek excuses to disarm fool
hardy enmities by accepting humiliations which
offend the dignity of the Venezuelan people ana
which would not be in accord with my pupilc
life I repeat L do not believe these alarming
versions The cause of our national dignity IS
based on our rights and our possession OF Jus,
tica and on our relations of friendship and
mutual respect with foreign nations.
President Castro concludes by recommending
the Venezuelan press to observe the discretion
and tact demanded by such an important mat
