British Editors Fail To Be Satisfied Ex-
cept Those of the Liberal Sort.
>, London, Dec. 27.-Except by the OPP
ponents of the government, who view
it as virtual defeat and as discredit-
ing the ministry, the latest phase of
the Venezuelan trouble has been well
coined very luke warmly Arbitration
by President Roosevelt had been an
ticipated as SO desirable an issue from
a difficult business that his refusal,
which is regarded as final, has caused
keen disappointment.
1t is foreseen that even if satisfac-
tory conditions to the submission Of
the disputes to The Hague court can
be arranged this method will entail
endless and wearisome details, with
no assurance that at the end Presi-
dent Castro still will be in power or
Venezuela in the mood to abide by
the decision of The Hague. In short
that element of guarantee which would
have accompanied President Roose-
velt's acceptance of the office of arbi-
traitor is now lacking
At the same time it is readily adj
mitted that from the United States
point of view President Roosevelt has
acted wisely in declining to act. The
foregoing represents the general drift
of newspaper comment this morning.
The only paper which really welcomes
the decision to refer the Venezuelan
matter to The Hague is the radical
Daily News, which sees chance of
making arbitration once more reputa-
BILE theory.
Paying tribute to the GOODNESS of
President Roosevelt and the correct
attitude of lie United States during
this sorry business The Daily News
says: ''The Venezuelan crisis has done
much to enhance Mr. Roosevelt's repu-
tation and to bring home to English
men the essential friendlineSs of the
American people,
The Daily Mail in a violent attack
upon the government says: Thus ends
perhaps the most inglorious episode in
which Great Britain has engaged in
recent years

Prussic acid is composed OF such
things as animal refuse and blood sol

vitriol Even the smell of the acid pro-
duces pain in the throat and in the re-

poisons for which there is such little
opportunity for an antidote. If there
is time-and there seldom is, for the

It is understood that some money
