Suggests That Allies Take

With Other Creditors.
Proposal Made Solely in In

Collect Her Claims.

compromise has been offered Ger
many. Great Britain, and italy by Minis
ter Bowen In order that they may main
tain their prestige, which they have al
legged would be lost II they we're to per-
nit the non -blockading creditors to set
tie with Venezuela on the same basis
with themselves, Minister Bowen offers
them preferential treatment for the
period OF one month, During that tiIue
the three countries are to have exelu-
sively for themselves 80 per cent Of the
customs receipts OF Puerto Cabelio and
La Guaira. After the expiration OF one
month, all the national creditors are ts
share alike in the 90 per cent.
In the Interests of Peace.
Minister Bowen makes this concession
in the interests Of peace. without abro-
eating the principles for which he has
been contending. The duties thus col
Iected in one month by the three coun-
tries would be a very small portion Of
their entire credits against Venezuela.
Further possible complications are indf-
Gated by a dispatch which says that the
revo1utionists have won q decided vic
tory near Cua. some sixty miles south OF
Caracas. AS the dispatch bears the date
line of WilIemstad, Curacao, the head
quarters of General Matos. the reyoIu-
ZIONIST leader. not much credence is
given the Item here. It is recognized.
however. that this is one OF the ever
present dangers Of the situation.
No Answer Yet Received.
Apparently Mayor des Planches, Sir
Michael Herbert. and Baron speek von
Sternburg still hope TO induce their re-
spective foreign Offices to accept Mr..
Bowen's proposition, either as IT stands
or IN some modified form, for they have
not yetx presented to him the final
answers Insisting upon preferential
treatment for their claims.
France May Take Hand.
Meanwhile. France. with the consent
Of Castro, seems 10 be moving toward
an assertion Of her rights by acting as
her own collector and placing her agents
in Yenezueia's custom houses. Should
she carry out this program 1t is likely
TO prove embarrassing to the allies. As
her agreement with Venezuela cover 13
per cent of the collections at all OF the
ports OF that country she might very
well send her agents to such ports as
Coro and Higuero.e, which seem 50
have been left unbIockaded by the allies.

ITS IT PEACE? q
"A Former President Of the Orange Free
s State Seems to Answer In the
zElss ss55 NedativA RE- $@f5 .s s.

Il #. W. Reitz, who was at one time pres
ident Of the Orange Free State, and who
at the outbreak of the Boer war was sec.
retary Of state in the Transyaal govern
ment, is the authorsof an article entitled
Ills It Peace?" which appears in the Mo-
.yember number of the North American
Review. Although he was one of the
sgners of the articles Of peace which ter-
minated the war, he declares that the
price is not one which can be considered
binding upon the conscfencesS of the men
who agreed to it's terms to save the REM
nant Of their wives and children. He
disclaims any authority or intention to
speak for those of his nation who re-
main in South Africa as subjects Of the
British crown. q Fie says: 8.z5S
s''Ife is speaking as a lawyer of many
years standing, who knows that con-
tract made under compulsion is not a
binding contract. 81 ts
ut may be urged that this: principle is
not recognized in internal tional law; but
that Immediately suggests the Question,
What is international law; and Is there

other important things proved to the

solemn and -undeniable promise of the

deliberately and scandalously broken

"Therefore, even If upon moral and
legal grounds those peace articles We're
