things.
More than any other American-more

He has become the standard for all
public servants. He is the criterion OF
Americanism. He uttered this people
He Is the die with which destiny has
marked us.
In this We arc most fortunate. He is

spirit OF the common people made man

TRAVELETTE
Tres Piedras, N. M.
BY NIkSAH

This is literally forgotten town and
no one Is apt to challenge the state
ment, for 1t contains not more than
twenty-five inhabitants, and the most
optimistic of these does not predict a
future for the place. A water tank, a
roadside store, couple of buildings
belonging to the United States forest
service and half dozen adobe houses
complete the inventory of Tres Piedras
as 1t is today. The name means three
rocks but there are at least million
in the vicinity of all sizes from peb-
Bile to small mountain.
But Tres Piedras is no ordinary
"jerkwater" town. 1t has history, and
one which is highly significant in the
development of the west. Twenty Eve
or thirty years ago it was a humming
lumber camp, from which millions of
board feet of timber were shipped to
all parts of the United States. There
were hundreds of frame buildings and
several of brick, hotels. bars and eat
ing houses hourlshed. A motley popu-
lation of laborers swarnled and fought
up and down its one crooked street. It
was typical mushroom town in full
bloom
But the hills within easy reach were
quickly uenuueC IHerc was no fOrSSt
service then. and every stick of timber
was ruthlessly cut, without d thought
of the future. Tres Piedras suddenly
found itself without a reason for exist
ing. Accordingly it proceeded to go out
Of existence to the best of its ability.
Ninety per cent OF its buildings went
up in pillars of smoke. Collecting in
surance was the only local industry
left.
Then came the forest service and oc-
cupied what remained of the town and
proceeded to carefully count and pro-
tect from insects what remained of the
trees.
But Tres Piedras experienced one
more burst of vigor. Silver and copper
were found in the hills. Spectators
and prospectors came and the streets
were again alive. Shafts were sunk and
engine houses erected. There was talk
OF d smelter and great show of pros
pertty. Then suddenly the men who
had promoted the mines disappeared
and the ones who had invested in them
paid few bills, and Tres Piedras $
went into another long sleep.

Washington, April 6.-Germany will
agree to pay the United States $780,

Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.
Information to this effect reached
Washington on Sunday from Berlin.
The formal declaration of Germany's
purpose will be communicated to this
government within the next day or

The authorities breathed sigh Of
relief when advised of what they may
expect from the German government.
They feel they have got around an
exceedingly difficult situation.
In its representations to Germany
the administration was exceedingly
careful not to make demands nor to
use language which might give Of
tense. The American note was con-
fined to the statement of the facts and
the reference to the bearing thereon
of the treaty in force between the
United States and Prussia. The treaty
specifically provides for detention Of
the other ir time of war. ~
Germany's agreement to pay dam
ages because of the application of the
Prussian treaty to the Frye case is Of
great Importance. In the representa-
tons this government will make re-
