the work on the new systems will
shortly begin.
The burglar alarm will no doubt be

of this kind is badly needed. The tel

These additions to the service of the

WAR ACTUALLY EXISTS
So Declares Balfour in the Commons.
and Says There is No Such i hing
as a Specific Blockade.
London. December !8. —In the course
of a long statement in rue house of
commons today, Premier Balfour said
there was no such thing as a pa
eiftc blockade." A suite of war actual
l.v existed with Venezuela, and an in

lay, to recover compensation ior as
saults on British subjects and iho seiz
lire of Hr,l inn vessels.
Mr. Hculv.lrish luilionalisl asked and
the United States assented a blockade
winch would exclude the United Suite ,
vessels. Mr. Balfour replied:
“Neutrals mo not consulted when,
you are in a state or" war wi„, a tin
party?"
"Is war declared? asked Mr. uea-iy.

After reiterating Loin Lansi oun,-

"Tho blockade witi be carried out by

involves a stale of war."
Mr. Balfour concluded Iris statement

aridl ration from Venezuela would be
accepted by Greni Britain.
Germany Oppose* Arbitration.

and a reply in that sense has been, or

Great Britain will make a similar an

officially, but. are derived from an ex

A formal notice of the uloeltade ol
tho Venezuelan const by the war vest
pads of the allied powers is likely to be
issued tomorrow. It Is tmdershtbd thru

precisely the same basis as those of
other nations.
The foreign office here denies ex
plicitly that (he German squadron in
Venezuelan waters has orders to seize
Margarita island, adding that no occu
pation of the territory of Venezuela
will occur.
The foreign office officials allege
that a systematic < ffort is apparently
being made to represent Germany ns
the propelling power in the coercion
of Venezuela, and as being responsl
bio for all Lie harsh measures. Pot
instance, they say. the bombardment
of the forts at Puerto Uabelto is ns
erilied to German initiative, whereas
tiie foreign offici officials ay without
