BLOCKADE BY GERMAN SHIPS
German Warships And Many Ships
Of Other Countries
VENEZUELAN WATERS.

So Washington Dee. Gothic gathering
of German warships in the vicinity of
Venezuela and the presence of many
American. British French and other
foreign varships, is attracting the
attention to the imminence of the naval
demonstration Germany is about to
make against Venezuela Thus far the
German government has not made
known the exact details of her proposed
move, the official communications to
the United States being confined to an
inquiry to the attitude of this gov
eminent the question of a demon
stration in favor of the purpose
the part of Germany not to
acquire any permanent foothold in
Venezuela The answer of this gov
ernment was entirely satisfactory to
the German authorities, who since
have proceeded with the execution of
their plans for coercing Venezuela. 1t
is said to be probable that the first
move will be the establishment of a
blockade of Venezuelan ports. so as to
prevent the introduction of food pro-
ducts, and thus starve the besieged
into submission.
Most positive assurances have been
given to the United States government
that the occupation IS to be temporary
will permit the collection of the debt
due to Germans, thus disposing of the
report that there is any Interior pur
pose to establish German coaling
station in Venezuelan soil.
1t is thought to be likely that Ven
ezuela will rely on harassing the in
vaders. The fresh water supply of La
Guayra and Maracaibo is drawn from
streams and lakes and these are ex-
pected to be cut Off The interior of
Venezuela is regarded safe, it is
said that it would take at least 300, 900
German soldiers to make Roadway
through the wild and uneven country
against guerilla tactics
Venezuela, it is understood, also
relies largely on the fact that foreign
capital is invested in the large Vene-
zue1an ports and would be the heaviest
sufferer from any destruction wrought
by the Germans
The German minister to Venezuela
is still at his post and there is still
settlement.
squadron and many other warships of
America in West Indian waters is the
source of much speculation in Germany
and Venezuela. The Berlin officials
are assured that the presence of Amer
lean ships has nothing to do with Ger
many's plans against Venezuela but at
Caracas the presence of American
ships in the sneighborhood is looked
upon with satisfaction and is construed
as distinctly significant.

SECRETARY LONGS SPEECH.
Argued the Benefits of Employing
Labor in Building Navy.
MET OBJECTIONS TO EXPENSE.

Newport News Va, Dec 31--After
the launching of the battleship Mis-
souri, there was banquet with 500
guests, where Secretary of the Navy
Long responded to the toast 1.-THE
Navy" He said in part:
II have been interested in the circu-
lar signed by many eminent citizens, in
which they regret the estimate of $780,,
OoO 600 for the increase of the navy.
1.-The size of the navy, if there is to
be a navy at all, is question like the
tariff-of adjustment, rather than of
principle. OF course, it is a rather
taking thing to say as a matter of
theory. this circular says, that $780,
600, 900 for the navy means tax of Sc
on every family in the United States.
And yet, the other hand. a
matter of practical fact, if that sum is
spent, there is probably not family in
the United States whose future income
could be shown to be six dollars less,
and there are good many families
whose income would be six dollars
more, and still more families whose in
come would be many times six dollars
less if it were not spent. 1t is also
rather taking thing to say that $780,
600, 600 could be better spent for educa-
ton charity, and yet, on the other
hand, 500, GOO, 900 spent in the employ
ment of labor is the very best use to
which it be put.
The great question of the day as to
wealth is its distribution. While few
would say that the community should
be taxed for the purpose of distributing
the proceeds of taxation, yet it is some
comfort to know of a tax which, w hen
it is laid the community, all returns
again to it. If 500, 600, 900 shall be ap-
propriated for the navy by the present
congress. small part win go to the
purchase of raw material and something
for salaries, but the great bulk of it
will go for labor in every part of the
Union
Undoubtedly Uncle Sam ought to
reduce taxation wherever he can. On
the other hand, it is shrewd and wise
In him to run things 50 as to keep bust
ness good; and if result his income
is large, he confers much more benefit
by spending it than he would by hiding
it. Whenever the interests of the coun-
ceipts, but as they are now excessive
the great question seems to be, how
shall he get the proceeds back among
the people Another year he may not
have SO much money to spend, but if
this year, having a surplus, he spends
500, 600, 900 for the navy, let us remem-
Der that while it is spent under that
name, 1T is really spent, / said be-
fore, in the employment of the peoples
Ia Dor and in the purchase of the mate
rial they have to sell, and the people
get rather more out of it than the navy
does, for they get it all back again

American Federation of Labor, addressed
the members and friends of the Mems Club
of Northeast Washington last night at the
club rooms, 40S II street northeast, on the
labor question. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Gompers referred to the letter of
Minister Wu, the Chinese diplomat, to the
Secretary of State in which he designated
the advocates of the rights of labor as ..la-
Dor agitators,'' and said:
There are those who say there Is no
labor problem; that the idea of any such
question being In existence is to be found
only In the fevered brain of the modern
labor agitator.' l realize" he added. "that
l am in position to present the average
view from my naarness to the problem.
one of the greatest difficulties with
which we have to contend is Ignorance
When the average man undertakes to as
certain the expert view on any question
other than the labor question others are
called In for their advice and counsel Those
who want an impartial view should ger
the labor side. A good many deny thai
there is a labor question, but let them go
into the sweatshops of New York and St
Louis and see men, women and children
working out their hearts blood from i'm
poverished bodies. Let these notice their
faces, marked with premature decay. and
they will realize that there is a labor aues-
ton to determine"
Continuing, Mr.. Gompers said: Go to the
coal mines, where men toll from early morn
untH late at night, hardly ever seeing the
light OF day, and rarely ever seeing money.
who are compelled to purchase their sup
plies from the company's stores; ask them
II there is any labor question"
