FRANCE BREAKS
WITH VENEZUELA
United States Officials Watching the
Turn Of Events.
Mr.. CASTRO OBDURATE As EVER.
Admitted at Washington That the Relations
Between the yeDezneIaa President and
U. $. Minister Russell Are Not What They
Should Bs-Prapee and United States Likely
to Act Together.

Washington (SpeciaD. - The serious
ness OF -he Venezuelan situation with
regard 10 both the relations between Ven
ezuela and the United States and be-
tween Venezuela and France is increas-
ing with grea rapidity.
All diplomat relations between Ven
ezuela and France arc broken, it is ssld
at the State Department, and, althoech
1t is stated no formal or official informa-
ton to this extent has beer received, the
officials assume that, in accordance with
the usual procedure, thG will involve the
early departure from Venezuela of NJ.
Taigny the French epresRtstive there,
and from France of Nj. MsSpurguet, the
Venezuela agent al Paris. -
The officials here are avail -
of events with keen interest :

communication with Venezuela had 81
completely severed Whether there
any significance 70 this cannot be detey
mined. When the allied feet, consisting
of warships from Great Britain, Gcr-v
many and Italy, bombarded ports of Ven
ezuela four years ago, Castro interrupt
ed cable communication. He is now, by
xrfr Of l., f,f1
annulled the concession of the French
Cable Company, in control of the cables
and it is quite likely that the inter
ruption is due TO some action on the part
of the Venezuelan executive.
Since the middle OF last September
President Castro has temporized with
France, and it has been almost weekly
reiterated that France was fast losing
patience 1t now seems that France Is
preparing to take some sort of action.
Although the present breach in the
relations between France and Venezuela
is technically chargeable against the per-
sonality of M. Taigny, the French charge
at Caracas, the real issue, as it is I'm
derstood here, is the attack by President
Castro upon the properties and franchise
of the French Cable Company. The
President asserted that the cabiS COM
psny had lent active assistance to the
Matos rebellion. Therefore, he began
proceedings in the Venezuelan courts
against the company on that score, and
also complained thai the company had
violated the terms of its concession in
not laying certain coast line of cable, and
especially in crossing the island of Ssnto
Domingo with land wires subieot to fre-f
quent interruption in times Of. rebeNscrFA
on that island.
The courts sustained the Presidents
view and in fact, practically took pos
session of the companys Offices, at certain
points, when the French govefnnrcut in
tervened. In the absence of fhe regular
minister NJ. Taigny presented a written
protest to the Venezuelan government.

"LET'S SEE YOUR TONGUE. "
The Stor ach's Frst Call for the Help that Dr..
 Richards Dyspepsia Tablets Give.

Go to a physician with any con- plaint. The first thing he says is Let's see your tongue" That is the |lindex that tells him the state of your digestion, and that means the cOndi- ton of your health, your vitality and your ability to respond to any treat ment, from a surgical operation down.
 As a matter of fact, the person whose stomach is in first-class condi- ton, able to digest the food and fur nish the nourishment necessary to keep the human machine running, is not likely to be troubled with any other complaint. On the other hand, one whose stomach is too weak to digest his food is at the mercy of any con- plaint he is subject or may be exposed to. The presence of such symptoms as coated tongue, impaired appetite, soreness or burning sensation in the stomach, headache, dizziness, and a general feeling of weariness and slug gishness, is proof positive that the stomach needs looking after.
 In Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets may be found the most rational. eff cient and pleasant remedy. They are nOt puT SdtiNc III cudiuetei, HUI u"ihcs stimulate the stomach $. to unnatural and harmful action, but they do fur nish the necessary clements for the proper digestion of food, the lack of which is responsible for the agonies of dyspepsia. e@ls.
