 After a while Secretary Hay pointed out that there could be no such thing as by it's very nature, an act of war. Ac- cordingly the blockaders declared a state of belligerency between themselves and Venezuela, and Germany threatened to lombard the seacoast towns unless the debt was settled without further delay.
 President Roosevelt had no illusion az to what bombardment and occupation by German troops would mean. If regi- ment or two of Germans once went into garrison at Caracas or Porto Cabello, the kaiser would secure the foothold he craved on the American coast within striking distance of the projected canal. and Venezuela, unable to ward off his aggression, would certainly be helpless to drive him out. MT. Roosevelt allowed MT. Herbert w. Bowen, the American minister to Venezuela, to serve as special commissioner fo- Venezuela in conduct ing her negotiations with Germany. He himself. however, took the matter into his own hands at Washington.

Great State Highway
 Meet Next Thursday

THE convention to be held at Mont
 O gomery on the tenth of July under the auspices of the state high
 way commission will be of exceptional importance.
 Each county is asked to send dele
 gates. Furthermore, every man talk | ing an active interest in good roads l is invited to be present. And every
 one attending is expected to bring an auto-car.
 Alabama is making strides in road improvement. The highway commits
 sion operates along practical lines. Its
 educational work has already been of | immense value and the convention will
 result in fresh impetus to the motor truck, hard-surfaced road movement.
 The day of the cheap, flimsily built road is gone. Only permanent high ways will be constructed in the fu- Iture.
 One of the leading topics of discus sion will be the proposed appropria- tion by the state of twenty-five mil Ilion dollars, the money not to come from the taxpayers, but from the Iautomobile license fund. It is a dis
 tinctly feasible project. The better
