increasing in strength. The condition
of Venezuela is deblorable. Outrages
by bandits are increasing daily and
the country is threatened with an

Lonuon Press Paying Much Attention
to Acknowledgements Affairs.
London-The British press, editor
Tally and through its correspondents
in the United States, is paying keen
attention to Acknowledgements re-
lations, and Ambassador Aoki's
speech at the American Asiatic soci-
ETY., secretary of commerce and Labor
Metcalf's report on the San Francis
90 dispute, and President Roosevelt's
message on the school situation in
California, are discussed with some
concern.
The Tribune thinks President
Roosevelt's tirmness and tolerance
have had their reward, while the
weakness of NJ. Stolypin, the Russian
premier, is a pledge for peace al.
most as valuable as President Roose-
velt's firmness and popularity.

the Russian and the American scares
from our minds" says the Tribune,

are far from agreeable or assuring"
