DISPUTE Is UNSETTLED
HOLLAND VENEZUELA TROUBLE is
ONE OF NATIONAL HONOR.
1t Cannot Be Settled by Arbitration, Is
Decision of Cabinet of the
Netherlands.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 19-After a
nine-hOur session during which the dis
pute between the Netherlands and Venc-
Zuela was canvassed exhaustively in ali
ITS phases, the cabinet dispersed shortly
after midnight last night and Minister
Of Foreign Affairs Van Swinderen pro-
ceeded to the royal chateau at Het Loo
to acquaint Queen Wilhelmina with the
result of the council. The terms of the
Netherlands answer to the letter Of
President Castro of Venezuela were full
~ discussed and it is understood that
the actual text as well as broad lines of
acton drawn up TO meet any possible
eVentual1tleS were agreed upon.
In diplomatic circles here the view is
entertained that the present difficulty
between Holland and Venezuela is not
of nature to be settled by arbitration.
and III explanation 1t is pointed out that
the dispute is not of a private CONNER
cial character like the difficulties that
have arisen between Venezuela and
Great Britain. Germany and America.
In these cases the government in cues
ton sought satisfaction for claims. but
Holland has no claim against Venezuela
1t IS maintained here that the present
question IS rather one of sovereignty
and national honor. matters which are
not susceptible of solution by arbitra-
ton.

CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICAN.
Method of Fishing Attracts Attention at
Seaside Resorts.

SNhS4dS NNSUlNS.
The pelican familiar to the visitor Mt
the seaside resorts of southern Cali
fornia is known as the California brown
pelican. His length is from four to five
feet. and his wings and tail are of silver
gray streaked with seal brown.
The breeding range of these interest
ing birds is off the coast of Mexico and
lower California. May and June are the
nesting months. Occasionally they build
their nests III low trees. but ordinarily
il is on the ground. 1t is n loosely con
structed affair, built of weed stalks and
sticks, and lined with grass.
At the seaside the pelicans are seen
lazily flying through the air. 1t is their
fashion to fly one behind the other.
Each, following the signal from the
leader, gives five or six strokes. and then
all soar in unison. At feeding time their
wont is to drive the fish by a noisy beat
shore. when the birds will dive from con
siderable heights. This performance is
quite spectacular. as with closely folded
wings the bird drops as a ball headToUc-
most into the water. Under the water
they evidently turn Il Somersault, as the
bird invariably emecges head first.
The pouch or game bag of the pelican
will hold ten or fifteen pounds of fish.
and as the bird is provided with no
means of defense. he is the victim Of
sure-thing operators and confidence work
ers in the form of the predatory g1Ils.
Too lazy to fish for themselves, these
thieves will pursue and attack the DcIi-
can, causing him to dive as a matter Of
self-protection. So closely are the pcll-
cans pursued by their more agile enc
mics that finally. half exhausted, they
give up the trophies of their chase. This
they do with a cynical smile as they see
their hardearned gain gobbled by the
gulls.-Los Angeles Times
