ENGLAND AND GERMANY NOW
SEEM READY TO COMPROMISE

unadjusted claims. all of the French
claims are in very forward state.
The details now under consideration
by the three allied nations are not
obtainable, but in a general way 1t is
understood to be a modification of the
allies contention that they be recog-
nized as Venezuela's preferred claim
ants in the payment of the indemnity.
The plan suggested provides that for
short period, perhaps six months or
year. Great Britain. Germany and Italy
shall receive exclusively thirty per
cent. of the customs receipts of the
ports of Porto Cabello and La Guayra.
and that at the end of this period. the
exact length of which is yet open to de-
cision, all the claimant nations be
placed on the same footing. and at the
expiration of that time the thirty per
cent of the receipts of these two ports
be divided among all the claimant ma
tions in ratio based on the amount Of
each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as a compromise
which will enable the allies to with
draw their ships from Venezuelan wa
ters without serious loss of prestige.
Whether the claimant nations out
side the tripartite agreement will as
sent to this scheme is not yet known.

COTTAGES FOR
OLD SOLDIERS

Denver, Feb. 2.-The movement
which Is being agitated by the friends
of the old soldiers in the state for the
erection of a number of cottages for
the families of the Civil War veterans,
who are inmates of the Colorado Sail
ors and Soldiers Home, located at
Monte Vista, is meeting with general
approval. The plan has been indorsed
by many of the members of the G. A.
r. Societies of the state, and it is
probable that they will help in making
1t ss-success. 1t is likely that the neces-
sary funds will be raised through an
appropriation by the Legislature, but
If this fails an attempt may be made to
secure the money by private donations.
At present, the state home makes no
provision for the families of the vet
Grams who enter, accommodating only
the men themselves, and in cases
where the men have families they are
forced to leave them. The object OF
the cottage plan is to make this separ-
alton unnecessary, and provide a way
to care for the dependent soldiers
without causing them to part from
their wives and children. The plan is
copied from the one in existence in
Kansas at present. where the state
home is located at old Fort Dodge,
while the cottages under the name of
the Annex, are located at Ellsworth,
Kansas Rations are issued each week
to the inhabitants of the cottages, and
they are under the same rules as the
home proper,
The question as to the location of
the cottages in Colorado has not yet
been determined, although numerous
localities have been suggested. 1t is
claimed that 1t is not necessary to have
the cottages in the direct vicinity of
the home, but that any place in the
state will do. One place that is re-
ceiving great deal of favorable COM
ment is the vacant state school land
between Denver and Colorado Springs
Most of this land is on Cherry creek,
in Douglas county, and it is claimed
that this location is ideal for such a
project.

OBITUARY..

This week we are called upon to i'm
part to our readers the sad (?) intelli-
gence that the Edgar Enterprise which
for some time made regular (?) visits to
many homes in this vicinity, has be-
come thing of the past, having sus-
pended publication after its issue of
June 18th.
The paper was established here in
April, 1901, but owing to lack of conf
dence in the town and its future, a
plant was not established here until May,
1902, about month after the appearance
of the Press, but after once fooling them
it could not again gain the confidence
of our business men, and last fall the
outfit was moved to Tigerton, from
which place the paper was sent here
each week up to the time of its suspen-
sion. Several uncomplimentary re-
marks could be made regarding its
management, but we will refrain and
let its ashes rest in peace.
In closing these remarks, however, we
wish to state that the PRESS has been
with you now for over a year and it is
our firm resolve to make it permanent
factor to be identified with the PROCESS
and up-building of our village Edgar
Press.
