The attitude irhlrh Germany Is adopt- Ing in the Yeneatielan matter does not ' tend to restore any feeling of conndence In Germany's real desire tor a tieaceful and final settlement of the whole mat ter, says the Post-Intelligencer. The Venesuela proposition not only poes so far as to leave every question In (?! pute between the two countries and ihe countries of Europe to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal, but quite un expectedly, Venenuela le prepared with full guarantees that It will meet att ob ligations which that tribunal may lm pose upon It. The one and only point upon which Venezuela Insists is that all of the coun tries in Europe which have claims against It shall share alike, and that there shall be no preferences given the claims of the countries which have at tacked Venezuela and sought a col- election by force, over the claims of countries which have not resorted to such drastic measures for the collection of private claims of their subjects. This Is a provision which the allies strenu ously resist and Insist that their claims must have immediate precedence over the claims of every other country. In speaking of the allies, Germany Is al ways understood, for In the entire Ven ezuelan matter Gjit Britain has been merely the tall to the German kite, and Italy occupies an even less important position. Germany, at all events. Is the stumbling block In the way or the present negotiations. Furthermore, it now appears that ine allies, otherwise Germany, are not even yet prepared to assent to ;ne de termination of the whole matter by tb reason that before that tribunal Vene ruela wluld have a right to set up counter claims to offset those presented by the allies. If the great countries of Europe are engaged in a legitimate at tempt to collect debts honestly due and are not merely trying to hold up and rob a weak and defenseless country, why should there be the slightest ob r Jection to the consideration of Venezu ela's counter claims, If any she has, which mljfht properly be allowed by The Hague tribunal? Moreover, the contention that the claims of the allies should take prece dence of the '-laiins of other countries, equaliy substantial, but which have not been pressed with warships and tom bardirents of fishing villages, is un fair, not merely to Venezuela, but the countries which Have exhibited some moderation and decency In treating with a small, weak and def ens 'less power. The situation is irritating to the peo ple of the United States be-'ause the idea is steadily taking root that Ger many's remarkable activity In attack ing Venezuela, and her slowness in ac cepting the peaceful solution of the matter, has more behind it than merely the collection of commercial debts. Ger many throughout has apparently done everything txssible, not to secure the collection of the relative petty claims , of her subjects, but to i'oad Ihe Vene zuelans Into actual war. Some motive j more potent than the mere desire to collect a debt Is behind this. ' There seems to be an uneasy feeling In Great Britain that the action of Ger many is calculated to excite some re sentiner.t In the United States whir-h may operate to Impair Ihe present good feeling 'n this country toward Great Britain. There is solid foundation for , this uneasiness. It was the earnest hope and expectation in this country that when negotiations for a settk ment of the whole affair by arbltrition wer HMiimenceii the last had been wen of armed activity ngalnst Venezuela. This expectation has ben disappointed, and much has occurred recently to war- ranf a iro:ouweJ distrust of Ger many' motives, which is finding pen- mil expiesHion throughout tills coun try. Oernian sciential declare that hyp nullum ha no vul-ie i a healing ng-n. ty, and pwhftp It ha n-jt. It It lucks Value In till llrw lion, It might us well be d!Hul-d upvrfluotii, the ledger M !'. Neverllieli, there iny be (iitntluit tiil In it fnvur, Jt l not to be "xpevted hat hypnotism will cure real disease, but it will cur Imag inary disease, and the proportion of th lattir to the genuine Is startling. The person who is eonvlnoisl, for ins tance that he has consumption, will die a ith a set of symptoms according nice ly with the requirement of consump tion. If he can dismiss the notion, he dismisses th bogus disease, and pets a new lease on life. Taking this view or thi matter, hypnotism h xs a value. An other thing to be considered is that the hypnotic Intluonce is as effective as an anesthetic. The subject ho can be rendered dead to all Mmw of pain so that an audience derives amusement from seeing pins thrut throush him, might be rendered equally dead for the purpose of having a leg cut off. Thus hypnotism has a ilne, oven If not in lh diiVxtioa of he.V.iii. Aside Horn its use by the medical fraternity, rov ever, hypnotism is rather to be discour aged. If it is potent for good It Is potent for ill. If it can be employed by a decent person, it can be employed by. a rogue. There is now on trial the case of a woman who claims to have been under hypnotic intluonce when she conimittei .rime. To determine the truth of such an allegation is Impos sible, and hence the question obscures the workings of Justice. If hypnotism has no valid scope, It is a regrettable circumstance that the thing was dis covered. TO CORK A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
