WASHINGTON. Aug. .-Th situa
tion In Colombia and Venezuela contin
ues to occupy much of the attention of
officials here today, and while It la not
felt that afTilrs had reached a serious
aspect yet It n appreciated that both
official and unofflolil advices Indicat

mean war between Colombia and Ven

outbreaks In both countries).
A more serious aspect of the matter
was presented In a press dispatch from

had invaded Venezuela. There was no
official confirmation a to this, but if it
should prove correct there la tittle
chance of avoiding an oren conflict be

vasion by Colombia would 'be In itself
an act of war. But authorities here pre

situation until official advices are at
