Was Willing to Act.

Washington, Dec. 23. 1T is quite ev-s
ident from the developments here that
Germany is the originator and pro-
moter of the suggestion that President
Roosevelt act as arbitrator. Great
Britain and Italy, it is believed, in
cline toward arbitration by The Hague
tribunal, but Of course they would not
indicate any preference officially in
the matter if President Roosevelt
gave the faintest intimation of accept
ing the charge. Indeed, officially, the
allies stand on record as supporting
the German lead in this matter.
!, :, Advices have been received here
from Rome that the former Italian
minister at Caracas, Mr. Riya, will re-
turn to Italy at once and that Baron

Peas and beans generally have
failed, the potatoes have not even
been worth gathering, and hay has
withered and rotted or been swept
away by the foods. Chilly rains and
frost, starting Aug. 10, have done
much harm. The rains also spoiled
the fishing. "
So complete was the failure of vege-
tation that dead birds are to be found
