Both tlio German foreign office and Pres ident Castro discredit the report that Venezuela has declared war against The Netherlands.

Castro will go to a hospital Sunday for a week of observation to det ermine whether an operation is necessary. He still denies tho truth of the demonstrations at Caracas on December 11. . t to mi. ..j u;!irMp mnv j . . ncl..l it . l - . eilgton, ura, io. uui mo j -. -uja noiu just punish- i "j--u ii mo report mat he Dad been ; ,, i,r-;r mutes should have the rlcht 1 , , utl lne 'aw as fiua v deter-lou an "as accepted the port-i , , ., ,, , 0, t If ."me court X , rtof resort, folio of secretary of Mate in theTaft j J " , ?i 'V ! r Yl KS? ..J """"area mat the cons kli.nt ,ml- taoinei.
