Thinking 1t was only a cold, he never

Secretary Fosters theory is that a

CASTLE OF DESP0ND.
II Got Its Dismal Name From a 7 tragedy
Born Of Love-.


Born Of Love-.
One of the finest French renaissance
buildings In France is the Castle OF
Despond. famous In the legendary lore
Of the Toulousian country In which II
stands. Over the window OF one OF
the inner c~ouftyards Is sculptured In
the stone a head above the motto.
'Plus d'Espoir." These were the last
words OF Rose de Martial. whose story
has been sung by the poets of Tou-
louise.
Rose de Martial was the daughter OF
the house Of Martial. to whom the cas-
tie belonged. and she was courted by
the lord Of Castelnat. whose manor she
could see from her window. But, al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted. the lord Tilted her. and she
fell into a melancholy. She sat every
day by the window. whence she could
see the tickle lord of Castelnat's manor.
One morning he passed by in the
valley below. She sang to him. but
he eve looked up. "Plus d'Espoir..'
she cried and threw herself out of the
window IN to the flags below, where
she was killed. The manor Of Martial
was known thenceforward as the Cas-
tie of Despond.
The fine building was falling to ruins
when NJ. Fenaille bought II. and he
had 1t completely and skillfully restor-
ed before making a gift of 1t to the ma
tion.

lies, the republic was for a time at
loggerheads with the Vatican on the
question Of ecclesiastical property with
in the tate. San Marine passed laws
empowering the government to distrib-
ute the church property. The Consisto-
rial congregation. with the pope pre-
siding, considered these laws and is
sued a declaration saying that such
power was vested in the Holy See,
which refused to recognize the new
laws because they were unjust and
violated the liberty Of the church. The
Vatican won.
Governed by a General Assembly.
San Marine is fourteen miles south
west of Rimini. Its greatest length
from north to south is vel miles and
its greatest width five miles. 1t is
twelve miles from the railroad which
runs from Bologna to Ancona, being
reached by a splendid carriage road.
The city of San Marine, with a pop
ulation of 1000, is situated at the north
end If a p~recipitous rock 2,437 feet
high, which bears the name Of Monte
Titano, each Of whose three submits
is crowned by Notifications, that on
the north by a castle and the other two
by towers standing boldly out against
the sky. The capital has two gates in
scribed "Libertas," and the arms Of
the republic are symbolic Of these three
peaks crowned with a tower.
The republic is governed by q gen.
eral assembly, which meets twice a
year, the state being represented by
two capitani regent selected semi
annually from the sixty life members
of the great council, which is composed
Of twenty representatives Of the 40
bility, twenty Of the landowners and
twenty Of the citizens. They are as
sisted by a small committee Of twelve
Of the great council. which, with the
aid of a legal adviser, decides in the
third and last resort. One of the capt.
TAM regent is selected from the no.
bility and one from the other two class
es. There is also a home secretary,
minister Of foreign affairs. chancellor
Of the %exchequer and a regular budget.
In 1906 the citizens Of San Marine
were aroused to .interest In modern
politics, and a progressive wave swept
over the republic. The walls and other
public places We're ~placarded with
m~anifestos Of the more democratic ele-
ment of society, and a journal called

progress and the rights Of the people

constitutional Reform.
The San Marinese were reminded
that since 1910 the same order of
things had prevailed In adhering to the
constitution organized in the ninth cen
fury, whereby the councillors of the
sovereign council from heads Of fami-
lies had been elected for life. But the
democrats wanted a share and insisted
that every three years these councillors
be chosen by a vote Of the people.
They made 1t known that they wished
to take their place in twentieth GEN.

SO after 400 years the general coun-
ell was convoked to debate on the new
order Of things. The great bell, weigh

In the tower Of La Rocca rang at sun

Of families that Sunday they were to
give their vote. Again the bell changed
on the morning of the day, and 800
men gathered before the great cathe-
dral. Two regents representing the
government led, with secretaries Of
state, interior and exterior heads of
families of the parishes and commits
sioners Of law. The vote was written
on a piece of paper, put in a closed
wooden box and placed before the urn
Of San Marine on the main altar Of the
cathedral at / o'clock. These ballots
were drawn out by a little child. There
was no need of an Austrian system Of
balloting, and the great bell of the tow
er proclaimed that the desired TWEEN
tieth century constitutional reform had
been accomplished, having received the
unanimous vote Of the electors.
No Navy, Small Army.
San Marine has no navy, but has a
little army Of about 1000 men. Be-
tween the ages of sixteen and ffty-fve
the ablebodied men in every family
must be enrolled, unless they be gov
eminent officers, priests, physicians or
students.
The republic is represented by diplo-
matte agents in several countries. In
France she has a charge d'affaires and
consul general, a consul general at
Vienna and a consul at Trieste. An
extradition treaty was ratified between
the United States and the republic in
1903.
Napoleon Left Il Alone.
Since the early centuries. with the
exception Of the threatened invasion by
Austria in 1910, when she sheltered
Garibalii and his men who had been
defeated by the empire, San Marine
has remained almost wholly unmolest-
ed. With a small armed force she has
maintained her sovereignty, observing
with few exceptions strict neutrality
with the outside world and receiving
the respect and good will Of all.
After the victories of Lodi, Arcole
and Montenotte had given Napoleon
possession Of the Italian peninsula and
he was p~ortioning out the territory to
his family and favorites the tiny re-
public became alarmed for fear of its
freedom. But Napoleon gayly remark
ed, LET us preserve 1t as the model Of
a republic" and from Pesaro sent cor
dial greetings and assurances Of the
inviolable friendship Of France.
The model Of a republic" so patron
izingly spoken of by Napoleon has out
lived the kingdoms established by the
conqueror. has seen his beloved France
twice become a republic since his reign
and was a silent witness to his suffer
ing and death at st. Helena.
San Marine, tradition says, was
founded by st. Marine, a pious monk
Of the fourth century, a native Of Dal-
malta, who fed during the prosecutions
OF the Christians by Diocletian and lat
err came to where San Marine now
stands. With the assistance Of a good
and wealthy woman he established a
monastery whose population increased
each day and was the beginning Of the
free people whose descendants later
created the republic.
History begins with the ninth CEN
fury. In the tenth century a commu-
nal constitution was established.

London.-Berlin reports the fall OF
the Galician town of Halicz and says
that the Austro-Germans have crossed
the Dniester river, which means that
the five days desperate rearguard
action by the Russians has ended in
their retirement. However, the stub

forces of Grand Duke Nicholas com

has undoubtedly enabled him to re-

The River San now takes the place
of the Dniester as the scene Of san

prevent the investment of Warsaw.
Petrograd admits the retirement of
the Russians to the River Gnila Lipa,
which is some so miles from the from

heavy fighting along that river
They express the opinion that the
next serious battle probably will occur
along the Zlota Lipa river, which runs
parallel to the Gnila Lipa further east

The reorganlzed Russian Cabinet

conference with the Emperor and

State Highway Department Appor-

fare Construction.

Harrisburg-The State Highway
Department has completed the appor-
tionment OF State-aid II IDS among the
counties and has determined the
amount available for State.aid high
way construction during the years
1916 and 1916.
The important factor in the appor-
tionment OF the State.aid money for
this two.year period is that in each
county the estimated amount neces-
sary for the maintenance Of State-aid
highways previously constructed has
been deducted.
State Highway Commissioner Cum
ningham and Chief Engineer Uhler
take the view that It is folly for the
State 10 expend money In state-aid
construction only to see Stateaid
highways deteriorate from lack OF
care. Consequently, the maintenance
division OF the department has esu'
mated the amount OF money necessary
for the maintenance OF previously con.
structed State-ald highways during
1915 and 1915 in each county, and this
amount is deducted from the sum
available for State-aid construction
The following table gives the bal
ance available for State-aid construc
ton during 1915 and 1916. the amount
estimated for maintenance during 1915
and 1916, and the net balance from
which State-aid construction will be
financed during the next two years:

FRYE CASE NOT ONE

United States Asks Prompt

OPPOSES GERMAN CLAIM
Asserts There Was No Justification
For Destruction OF American Vessel
and That Question OF Settlement is
One To BE Settled BY Direct Diplo.
matte Proceedings.

Washington.-In note to Germany
made public by the State Department
in the case OF the William P. Frye, the
American vessel destroyed by the Ger
man commerce raider. Prince Eitel
Friedrich, this Government maintains
that Germany has violated treaty
obligation by destroying the vessel
and demands prompt payment from
Germany.
The following direct statement of
the attitude of the United States is
made by Secretary Of State Lansing,
who signed the note
"The real question between the two
governments is what reparation must
be made for breach of treaty obliga-
tions and that is not a question which
falls within the jurisdiction Of the
prize court"
Note Delivered BY Gerard.
The note was sent to Berlin on June
"a. Ambassador Gerard cabled that
he had delivered the note Saturday
afternoon.
The American Government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has ad-
mitted liability for the sinking Of the
Frye under the treaty of 1928. prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
Aside from the question Of how the
indemnity should be paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal of the
United States to accept the contention
that Germany has a right to stop the
carrying of conraband by American
ships, by the destruction of the con
traband and the ship carrying it."
While no mention Of submarine war
fare was made in either the last Ger
man note or the present reply. occa-
sion was taken to deny this right, be-
cause OF belief that admission Of 1t
now might in the future be used as q
justification for submarine attacks on
