PROTOCOL IS SIGNED
VENEZUELA AND UNCLE SAM
 REACH AGREEMENT.
The TreubIesosne Claims That Have
 Led to So Much Negotiations 7 Have Finally Been Disposed Of. z

Washington, D.. C. Feb i3.--wiilian I. Buchanan, special commissioner to Venezuela has signed a protocol with that government for the adjudication of the disputed claims between the two countries thus. paving the way for final settlement of Issues which for years have been the subject of negoti- ation and the refusei of President Castro to arbitrate, which led to . rupture of. diplomatic relations last spring.
 Because Of lack of detail in the dispatches from Mir. Buchanan. the ofl- ciais Of the state department prefer not to make any statement touching the results except to say that The Associated Press despatch from Caracas accurately indicates what had been ac- complained.
 As to the money consideration in- volved the New York and Bermudez Asphalt Company. the officials are not understanding at the state department is that he will receive sS.00o Officials are greatly elated over Mir. Buchanan's success and express them selves as particularly pleased that the Asphalt companies dispute is not to go to, arbitration because of certain features involved.
 Presumably Mr. Buchanan's work In the signing of protocol will Dc fol- lowed by . general arbitration agree ment between the two countries as the basis for . special treaty or com promise stating specifically the issues to be afbitrafed, which requires rati- fication by the senate before the cases may go up to the Hague.
 The special commissioner is anxious to consult with former minister Rus sell, who is to return to Venezuela as minister and for this reason. the latter will not proceed 10 Caracas until after Mir. Buchanan reaches Washington. for which place he will start next Tues day. President Gomez is expected to promptly name minister to washing- ton.
 The claims of the United States and Venezuelan Company. otherwise known as the Critchfield concession of the Orinoco Steamship Company. and of. the Orinoco Corporation, are to be submit ted to The Hague tribunal for arbltra. tion. In the case of the last named claim a method of reference to The Hague was found that was entirely satisfactory to Venezuela.

A Seasonable Reflection

Now that summer is opening
up, everybody is busy. Every
body is glad to have a chance to
be active. The sunshine sends
new life rushing through our
veins, wakens us to new activi-
ties, enables us to see new op-
portunities, stirs us to new en-
deavors to accomplish some
thing.
No doubt you, too, are asking
yourself, rs this year to be
the same as last year to me?. hm
| to go on in the same monoton-
Gus round, making no progress,
getting nowhere?" You need
not do so. You may see a hun
dred apparently insurmountable
obstacles before you, but they
shrink into mere, insignificant
trifles when once you drive right
at them. The essential thing is
not opportunity or friends, but a
live, energetic, determined
spirit.
But you must make start. If
you can'tgo just in the direction
you want to 60, at least go in
some direction. and the inspira-
tion of motion will help you swing
around later toward your special
goal. When a wagon gets stuck
in the mud, the driver does not
try to pull out straight ahead, but
turns his horses to right or left
till they are out of the hole. The
necessary thing is to get ago
ing.
Whatever you set your head
to. money is one OF the important
factors in pursuing it. The pur-
suit of business, education,
music, or art, depends finally on
the possession of money. If you
haven't got it, your first business
is to get it. 1t you are earning
something, put part of it in the
bank. If you are not earning
anything, then earn something
and save as much as you can of
it. Selected.
