LONDON, December 9.--One of the larg-

ed representative Of the Associated Press
today that the ultimatums of Great Britain
and Germany had a seventy-two-hour limit,
and therefore will expire on Wednesday.
The foreign Office, while not denying the

tonight that the period is liable to extern

possible settlement, though, apparently,
nothing definite has yet been decided.
The News at Berlin.
Berlin, December 9.-While the limit of
time given to Venezuela in which to make
an answer to the ultimatums of Germany
and Great Britain is not disclosed, the cor
respondent of the Associated Press was
officially informed that 1t is very brief.
The German foreign office still hopes that
President Cactro will recognize the grav-
ity Of the situation and yield at the last
moment.
Telegraphic communication with La Guira
is slow. Events happening today are not
likely to be translated from the cipher till
tomorrow.
The morning papers here make absolutely
no comment the Venezuelan situation,
with the exception of the Vorwaerts, which
says that although President Castro has
expressed his willingness to satisfy the Ger
man and British demands military action
against him has begun, and the Lokal An
zeiger, which remarks that President Cas-
tro's efforts to drive a wedge between Ger
many and Great Britain have failed"

TO PROTECT THE ROOF.
A Steel Screen to Prevent the Glass
From Being Broken.

Workmen were engaged yesterday in put
ting in place a steel screen over the glass
roof of the post Office building, to protect
the roof from icicles. During the winter
huge icicles form on the tower. and, when
the sun shines warmly, fall on the glass
roof Several times the heavy panes of
glass in the roof have been shattered by the
fall of a particularly heavy mass of ice,
and it was found necessary to place some
protection over the roof. The post Office
officials are beginning to think that they
are paying dearly for the brilliant light
that filters through the big roof. In the
summer it Is necessary to paint the glass
to defect the rays of the sun. and in the
winter workmen again have to ascend to
the roof to put in place the steel screen
which protects the glass from the ice. AL
together workmen are on the roof about
half of the year and the expense is some
thing to make an economical man shud-
der. The clerks in the post office enjoy
their advantages, however. They have the
best lighted Office building in the city, the
glass roof making It possible to give every
room natural light as bright and homelike
as though all rooms were exposed to the
