 By gad," he exclaimed, ''you chaps are very careless. Do you know you've missed a roll of $500 in this overcoat pocket?" The men gasped, and the spasmodic oaths that came from them were born of incredulity. It was plain that they doubted their ears.

FRANCE PLANS TO
CHASTISE CASTRO
French Ambassador and Secretary
Root Discuss Venezuela
Army Studies the Field.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Venezuela and
her troublous conditions are now the
subjects of earnest consideration by
the Washington and Paris governments.
Just from Paris with full instructions,
M. Jusserand, the French ambassador,
called at the state department yester-s
day and was in conference with Sec
rotary Root for AN hour. Venezuela
was the main subject under considera-
ton, special attention being given to.
President Castro.
M. Jusserand made it plain that,
while France proposed to protect the
rights Of her citizens in Venezuela, as
elsewhere thruout the world, the French
| government would continue it's tradi-
tiQnal policy of a courteous recognition
of the special interest Of this country
other American republic.
Army Chief Studies Venezuela.
It is a well-known fact, not only in
army circles but thruout the diplomatic
corps, that the general staff Of the army
has been making a thoro study of Ven
eZuela from a military standpoint. This
government, as well as France, appre-
ciates the difficulties Of an inland ex-
petition to the Venezuelan capital even
should a critical turn of events war
1C'nC ChS oSAAeuo " l. CuSAA
q move. .
At the same time, France, with the
remainder of the European nations, re-
allies that a naval demonstration off
La Guayra, if such a course should ever
be determined on, is not a sure method
of forcing President Castro to yield, be-
cause Of the distance of Caracas from
the sea. ...
Justice Is Sought.
In diplomatic circles the significance
Of the conference is attributed, not so
much to it's direct results but as evinc-
ing the firm purposes Of the American
and French governments, individually
perhaps, but none the less effectively,
to protect the rights Of their citizens in
Venezuela, What France desires to see
and find, and this desire is thoroly
shared by the Washington government,
is an effective means of insuring jus
tice for foreigners in V~enezuela.
