Chicago. Jan 23.-Besett Rologer, a

can neither read nor write and does not
understand the usual sign language will
be sentenced by Judge McEwan tomor-
row. Rologer was convicted of the MUIR
der of his former employer, Lee Robin
son, and the accidental shooting of an
other man, at the same time. Accord
ing to the plan finally adopted Rologer
instead of having his sentence read to
him, will be shown a photograph of the
penitentiary. Then the picture of a
man behind the bars will be shown as a
gentle hint of the punishment that
awaits him. If this is satisfactorily
absorbed by the negro's brain the
figures "1f' will be exhibited in large
print and then by means of the 365
leaves on the calendar he will be given
an inferential idea of the length of one
year and the consequent extent of the
punishment which has been meted out
to him. The case is without prece-
dent in this country. Throughout the
trial Rologer sat by his attorneys, APP
parently obliyious to the doings of the
court. Apparently he does not realize
the fate that has befallen him.

THE AGGREssIvENEss of the GeSmans
in Venezuela is causir55 much appre-
hension in this .cydhtry, and it is the
convictisr OF many that the time is
rasddly approaching when the United
States will be compelled to resort to
something more than diplomacy in or
der to maintain the Monroe doctrine.
The blockade of Venezuelan ports by
German war vessels was bold step, but
the destruction of Castro's puny navy,
the bombardment of cities, the sinking
of men of war and other such acts on
the part of the Teutons is rendering the
situation more critical every day. 1t Is
true dispatches from Berlin disclaim any
knowledge of the last act of the drama and
the German government says no orders for
the bombardment were given. 1t seems
strange. however, that one ofits trusted ma
val officers would have been guilty ofsuch
precipitancy without knowing positively
that he would be upheld in his action
For at least century it has been ap-
parent that sooner or later the Monroe
doctrine would be questioned by one OF
the more powerful nations of Europe IN
connection with the alleged suzerainty
Of the United States over the South
American republics, and that this doc
trine would be subjected to severe test,
most likely by recourse to arms. That
Germany is rent upon testing 1t now
is believed by many, and should that
country be given free hand much long
err in Venezuela the Monroe doctrine will
pass away as shadow. We perfer to
believe, however, that Germany, while
playing with Venezuela as cat with a
mouse. would consider well before cross
ing swords with the United States. But
sooner or later the contest will come
which is to determine whether the Eng
disappearing people or the Teutons are
to rule the world. 1t may be long-de-
ferred it may be the next act in the
history of nations. Who can tell?
