Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE foreign Office
here has not received anything from
La Guayra since Monday evening. when
Charge d'.Affaires Won Pilgrim Baltaz-
ri cabled that he had gone aboard the
Vineta. The officials here have no con-
firmation of the announced arrest Of
all the German and British subjects
at Caracas and are therefore disposed
to discredit the statement. They say
that possibly few Germans and Eng
lishmen have been arrested under some
pretext by President Castro. but the
foreign Office authorities consider it ex
tremely doubtful that he would permit
the arrest of all the Germans and Brit
ish at Caracas.

The case of the
PLUCK VS.. LUCK. South African dia-
mond operator who
worked great mine for year under
lease, at moderate profit, and saw
diamond whose worth is practically be-
yond calculation unearthed within an
hour after his lease had expired, is
quoted as evidence that it is luck, not
pluck, that makes the man. Let US
see how that diamond came to be lost
to the man who had blasted and drilled
his way through hundreds of feet of
rock and almost reached it. Out of the
365 days during which he operated the
mine, do you suppose that no hour was
wasted in idleness? Among the twelve
thousand employees do you contend
that there was not one who could have
worked more effectively if given timely
advice and encouragement? If the con-
tractor had searched the history of that
year thoroughly, he would have been
forced to the conclusion that moments
of idleness, and hours of half hearted
effort were responsible for his loss.
On the other hand, the man who Sc
cured the prize had the courage to
undertake what the other had aband-
oned. May his tribe increase.

Governor Savage of
AS THE ROSE. Nebraska was elected
president of the Inter-
state Irrigation Congress, held at Ster-
ling, Colorado. In his address he con-
tended that irrigation was not an un-
tried experiment but system the value
of which is we'll established He cited
the Garden of Eden as irrigated terri
tory and promised that the entire Platte
Valley should become another Eden in
time. Perhaps the enthusiasm of the
meeting and the supporting influence of
his audience Of -irrigationists caused
the worthy governor to add little extra
coloring to the picture, though there is
every reason to believe that irrigation
will certainly make glad the desolate
wastes Of the barren portion of the
Platte Valley, but whether or not the
government is called upon to water a
mans land, must be left to time and
congress to decide.
The government can, however, lend
material aid to the movement in way

cally by individuals or combinations act.
ing separately or in concert: the collec-
tion of data on the practicability of util-
izing certain streams, the best mode of
diverting, conserving and distributing
the waters, the waste by seepage, and
means to combat it. With. this mater
ial at hand, together with an estimate
of the cost of the various systems, in
this day of money seeking employment
there would doubtless be found more
than sufficient capital to carry out the
plans.

South Carolina has sent to our senate

His principal complaint against Senator
