REGARDING VENEZUELA
s s1zn I! # STATEMENT IS
SUED BY GERMANY.
Carefully Tursihg Friendship Of
United States a Bismarckian Ira
dition, as Documents Testify.

BERLIN, February ia semi-oficial an
swer to the criticisms of the German gov
eminent for allowing the United States to
have anything to do with the negotiations
between the cooperating powers and Ven
ezuela was issued today. as follows:
THE United States participation in the
settlement of the Venezuelan controversy
Is regarded in many quarters as -unfortu-
nate. and as hindering the result OF the ne
gotiations.
Such a position can easily be understood
but justification fer this criticism does not
exist when the consequences of the United
States participation are used as basis for
attacking the government.
Certainly we would have reached the
object desired more rapidly and better II We
had been let alone with Venezuela, but
every politician that knows the A G OF
this question knew absolutely in advance
that we would not have been let alone.
Means for eliminating the United States
from the controversy of the European pow
ers with Venezuela there were not. and
there are not now. A statesman who mad
acted on this assumption would have lost
the game from the start.
Neutrality Impossible.
Even If President Roosevelt and his ad-
visers wanted to remain neutral. as they
tried to do, American public opinion would
have compelled them to aid Venezuela IN
resisting the claims Of the European pow
ers. -,
ut is not a question of the imaginary
defects and weaknesses of German stats
manship. but of fixed, immutable facts.
ignoring which would have created Ger
man-American complication in place Of the
German-Venezuelan incident.
Many tendencies at home and abroad
were working precisely in this direction.
but quite without success. The patriotic
publicists who call for treating this aues-
ton according to the Bismarckla1 method
can rest assured that this method Is being
applied.
Carefully nursing the friendship of the
United States Is Bismarckiau tradition.
as documents testify. In his relations with
the United States he never wore cuirassiers'
boots. as is now so often demanded, and In
the Samoa question he was perhaps less ex-
acting than his present successor"

NATURES OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures C0tarrh Without Oan-

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truthfuIly say that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times a day. and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air passages
and lungs is impregnated with the germ
killing and health giving Hyomei IL is
the only treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach druggng often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some other
diseases and never makes a permanent
cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills
the germs in the throat and nose but PEN
etrates to the minutest air cells in the
lungs and enters the blood with the oxy-
gen killing the germs in the blood. 1t
frees the mucous membrane from poison
Gus microbes and gives perfect health.

that they agree To return the money TO
any purchaser who may be dissatisfied
