A CRUISER SENT OUT
German Vessel Ordered to
Venezuela.
OTHER WARSHIPS ARE TO FOLLOW
The Kaiser's Government Desires
Only To Enforce Claims Due Sub
iects-WiII Not Incur Enmity
of the United States.

BERLIN. Dec. 31.-The small Ger
man cruiser Gazelle has been ordered
to sail Immediately from Kiel to Ven
ezuclan waters. The government in
tends to send one or two other small
warshipS to rc-cnforce the present Ger
man squadron in the Caribbean sea.
The additions to Germanys naval
force in the Caribbean will not be sutli-
cient to give rise TO suspicious among
the people of the United States that
Germany meditates anything beyond
the collection of claims due German
subjects. The German government de-
sircs beyond anything else in this mat
ter to avoid disturbing the govern
ment or the people of the United
States
The German newspapers are full of
expressions of this kind, and many OF
these expressions are so much alike
that it is easy to infer their utterance
was suggested by the government. y
remarkable thing is the fact that there
is not a single unkind expression to
ward the United States in any of this
newspaper comment.
Even the dispatch from Washington
to a New York newspaper to the eff
feet that persons of Importance in the
war and navy departments consider
war between Germany and the United
States to be inevitable has been repro
duced everywhere throughout Germa-
ny. 1t is discussed coolly and for the
most part treated with incredulty.
1--WE hope that this opinion" says the
Berliner Neueste Nachrichtcn, (which
grew out of the Spanish war and
which we consider to be wholly er-
ronoous. will soon give place to more
correct conception of Germany's aims.
1t is quite unreasonable that the peO-
pie in the United States holding such
/ opinion should connect this opinion
! with the Venezuelan affair, insomuch
as Washington has been fully inform
ed of Germany's intentions"

scientific remedy for catarrh. 1t cures
catarrh wherever located. Its cures last.
Peruna gives strength by stopping
waste.
BY saving the mucus it enriches the
blood.
By cleansing the mucous membranes
it preserves the vital forces.
A constant drain of mucus from the
system is known as systemic catarrh.
This may occur from any organ of the
body.
Peruna stops this waste by curing
the catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, no matter which organ may
be affected. Peruna cures catarrh wher-
ever located.

after a popular vote TO pass the meas
ure, If approved by the people, It may
be the more satisfactory course in the
end, all things considered"
The idea of Judge Ross, it will be
remembered, was for the legislature
to prepare the three liquor bills-the
gh-license-local-opti bill, the Bat
tell bill, and his own amended prohibi-
tory law, in form for enactment, and
then adjourn, with the provision that
the people are to vote on these various
bills February 1, the one having the
largest number of votes to have the
choice, and to be presented for enact
ment at an adjourned session OF the
legislature to be held two weeks later.
Should such action as this be decided
upon, it would make additional cost
and some complication, but in the end
there would be no doubt as to what
majority of the people of the state
want in the way of liquor legislation.
