PEACE SUCCEEDS STRIFE,

All Is NOW serene in CaStro'S Coun"
 try.
 New York. April 1S.-A wonderful change in popular feeling and a remark able growth of sentiment favorable to the United States are reported by Minister Augusta F. Pulido, recently returned from Caracas. whither he went to consult with President Castro concerning the Venezue- Ian negotiations with the allies, and to get President Castro's approval of the reference to The Hague.
 Minister Pulido says he found a won derful change in public sentiment. The Germans are not molested. but the resent ment of their share in the blockade is very keen. On the other hand. the Uni ted States has gained wonderfully in pub lio estimation. and ought to gain in com merce as we'll. The people of Venezuela are anxious to encourage American cap italists to come there. They are deeply interested, also, in the fate of the canal treaty with Colombia, and they hope the Par anna canal will be built and the trade route with the Pacific coast opened up.
 "As for the revolution in Venezuela everything is calm," asserts MT. Pulido, There are insurgents in the mountains seventy miles from Caracas at Bolivar or the Orinoco. but at present they are no! being molested. Trade Is picking up after the prostration incident to the blockade. could not find any instance of absolute starvation: there is less luxury, less dis. play. but that anyone was without bread I did not hear.
 There is one thing more want to say On my trip down stopped for two days at San Juan, Porto Rico. I went ashore ard rode out to Rio Piedras, and all saw on the way were the new school houses you Americans have built there-schoo houses dozens of them. You are treating those people just right, and that is tht proof of it. Education Is the thing they need most"

NEW FOOT BALL ARMoR.
Western Players Wearing Corsets to
Good Advantage.

"F H Yost Ann Arbor," was the entry
on the Metropole register last week that
gave the travelling public who scanned the
pages of the document an opportunity to
know that the famous coach was surely
back again from the Minnesota game and
all its tribulations, says the Chicago Trlp-
une Yost had run down from Ann Arbor
for the evening, and was perfectly willing
to talk about the Minnesota game to little
coterie of friends.
One of the circumstances which the coach
related brought out a new feature of the
contest-the fact that at least two of the
Minnesota men went into the game with
new sort of protective armor.
when the men came on the field said
Yost, AZ noticed that Schacht looked a good
deal bigger even than he did last Thanks
giving day, so | went up and felt of him.
You can ina CINE how surprised was when
1 found he had a sort of a foot ball corset
on. Covering his stomach sides and back,
there was some sort of stiff garment that
felt like a jacket of barrel slaves. 1t was
probably padded inside. and his suit covered
it completely from sight. AS soon as they
got into the game l what the use of
that jacket was.
''Schacht was their best ground gamer.
He would stand back of the line just behind
the quarter back and with the other backs
behind him. Harris would snap the ball,
Schacht would take two steps and a jump
and then the rest would skate him along on
his stomach like a big snow plow. 1 cal
culated he travelled about fifty yards
through that game on his stomach. and it
all counted against Michigan. l never saw
a big man slide along that way before.
