HOLLAND ASKS
EUROPE TO AID
WOULD HAVE THE POWERS AS
sIsT IN BRINGING vENE-
zUELA TO TERMS.
PROPOSAL CONSIDERED
THE ATTITUDE OF THE UNITED
STATES HAS NOT YET BEEN
ANNOUNCED.

The Hague.-The Netherlands has
called upon the powers of Europe to
make common cause with this coun-
try in furnishing President Castro or
Venezuela by force of arms.
The proposals of Holland have been
warmly received by France and Eng
land, which also have grievances
against the belligerent Castro. the
present indications are that these
three countries will act together In
taking such military measures as they
may deem necessary.
The United States has not yet indi-
Gated what position it would assume In
the event Of war. The fact that diplo
matte relations have been broken OFF
between Washington and Caracas com
plicates the situation.
1t is the opinion here that the United
States will watch Hollands action and
await developments.
A high official of the British for
eign office admitted the possibility of
war.
France has favorably received the
proposals of Holland, but final action
upon them depends upon the outcome
of conference between Premier
Clemenceau and the members OF the
cabinet.
Absolute secrecy has marked the
diplomatic interchanges relating to
the subject. and the reports received
here from other capitals that Holland
Is requesting the powers to join her
in Furnishing Venezuela have caused
great surprise. II had been felt that
the Netherlands government wanted TO
plow its own furrows. and had asked
the other powers only to adhere to
policy Of hands OFF,"
Il was believed that Holland had
adopted this attitude because her
grievances against Venezuela were
more Intimately concerned with the
national honor and were not SO purely
commercial as those Of her neighbors.
The reasons for the apparent change
In the program are unknown at pres
ent.
The Dutch newspapers are begin
ming TO protest against the secrecy
with which the government enfolds
the entire Venezuelan situation and
ask for details Of the report made by
n. De Reus, the former minister to
Venezuela, and the correspondence
that passed between the government
and the members of President Castros
cabinet. q
The government apparently is quite
satisfied with the explanations made
by nj. De Reus. its former minister to
Venezuela, relative to the letter criti-
cizing President Castro and his gov
ernment. which Is alleged to have been
the reason for the minister's expul-
sion from Venezuela. II NAV be stated
most emphatically that the Neither
lands has no intention of disavowing
NJ. De Reus or Of apologizing for his
action

PICNIC FOR THE PUP.
His Devotion to Duty Rewarded By
Strange luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George
II. Clapp was so determined to cap
ture woodchuck which he had chased
into Its den that he followed after and
staid in the hole all night
When the dog had got his jaws
about the enemy he found that he
could not get out owing to the small
size Of the animals hole.
Rather than lose his prey the dog
retained his hold on the woodchuck
over night. and was helped out by his
master In the morning. The dog was
nearly exhausted. and revived after
feeding and drinking In a curious man
ner.
He consumed about two quarts OF
unguarded ice cream. which had been
set aside for a party. and capped the
climax by failing into bucket of lem.

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS
TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the importance
of the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. If they did
spent for worthless goods and put a
lot of unscrupulous manufacturers
out of the business.
When a manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsibility for the merit of his prod
uct. He takes his business repu-
tion in his hands-out in the lime
light-'on the square" with the buy
er Of his goods, with the dealer, and
with himself.
The other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements" offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand : sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
a good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by a trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's adver-
tising of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty Of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address blow-pipe and instruc-
tions how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-
ing sent out from the New York
