Berlin Holds Americas Refusal to Ar

LONDON, Dec. 27-England formally

to refer the Venezuelan affair TO TIE
Hague for arbitration this afternoon
A dispatch to the Central News from
Berlin says that Germany also has
agreed to accept The Hague tribunal as
arbitrator in the Venezuelan difficulty.
Press in Opposition
The Globe, commenting on the latest
arbitration proposal says the reference
TO The Hague tribunal is entirely un-
satisfactory. as that body is without
the power to enforce its pronouneement.
The only way Of fastening its deIibera-
tions is by maintaining a strict blockade

which has been too much overlooked.
Whenever England and the United States
resort to arbitration the Washington
Government invariably appears TO the
outside world as playing a more or less
dictatorial part. while Great Britain has
the appearance Of being ready TO accept
any terms.
TIE result is that more and more the
people Of Canada regard the supremacy
Of the neighboring republic as inevitable.

PEKIN. Dec. 27.-The reception of

ELLEN TERRY's ADVICE.

of nothing beyond the mere glamour of
the footlights." Every great actress
knows that this girl is almost always
q failure. In giving advice to girls Miss
Ellen Terry does not concern herself
with the girl who is foolishly stage
struck. but speaks seriously to those in
tending 10 become actresses. The pro-
fession is one of hardships and bitter
disappointments, and a life I'm which
only those OF iron will and great ability
succeed. Miss Terry says to the stage
aspirant:
