GERMANS JUSTIFY
SINKING OF FRYE
Prussian-American Treaty
Is Referred as Suffi-
cient Vindication.

UTASHINGTON, June 10.-Ger-
w many, in a note on the case Of
the william z. Frye, an American
ship sunk by the Prinz Eitei Friedrich,
has informed the United States that
it interprets the Prussian- American
treaty of 1928 to mean that American
vessels carrying contraband can be
destroyed. Payment is promised for
the destruction, but the right to de-
stroy is asserted as a logical inference
from the language of the treaty
In reiterating that she stands ready
to pay damages for the losses to
American citizens occasioned by the
sinking of the Frye, Germany insists

XTAsHINGToN, June 10 - The
w United States in its latest note
to Germany, made public tonight, for
mally asks the imperial government
for assurances that measures hereafter
will be adopted to Safeguard Amer
lean lives and American ships" on
the high seas. The alternative in case
of refusal is not stated.
IL was this note to which William
Jennings Bryan refused to attach his
signature, resigning instead his port
folio of secretary of state and thereby
preCipitatng dramatic cabinet crisis.
Robert Lansing, secretary Of state ad
interim, signed the communication
which went forth with the approval Of
President Wilson and his entire cab
met.
Friendly terms characterize the doc
ument which renews presentations
made in the American note that
reached Germany on May 3 after the
Lusitania was torpedOed and sunk
with a loss of more than one hundred
American lives. The German govern
ment 1t is declared, must have been
"misinfOrmed' when il assumed that
the Lusitania carried guns as official
information is at hand to cOrroborate
the original contention Of the Wash
ington gOvernment-that the Lusi-
tania was an unarmed passenger ship
which since it did not resist capture,
could not be sunk without transfer
ring passengers and crew to a place
OF safety.
Ignores Minor Details.
The communication informs Ger
many that it iS con the principle OF
humanity as veil as upon the law
founded upon this principle that The
United States must stand" OppOr-
tunity is given to Germany to submit
any evidence that American officials
did not execute their tasks thoroughly
inspecting the Lusitania before sho
sailed, but the cardinal fact--that the
liner was given no warning and made
no resistance and was primarily a
passenger ship, the American govern
mont declares throws Into the back
ground any special circumstances Of
class Of ordinary subjects of diplo-
matte discussion or of international
controversy"
The issuance Of another statement
by former Secretary Bryan coincidont
with the publication Of the note to-
night added to the surprise I'm official
quarters at the character Of Mr..
Bryan's argument. High officials said
the note employed the very process

be beaten into plowshares.' Why not
make that honor ours? Some day
why not now-the nations will learn
that enduring peace cannot be built
upon fear-that good will does not
grow upon the stalk of violence. Some
day the nations will place their trust
in love, the weapon for which there is
no shield: in love that suffercth long
and in kind; in love that is not easily
provoked; that beareth all things, be-
lieveth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things; in love Which
though despised as weakness by the
worshippers of Mars, abideth when all
else fails.

Visit to Factory I
Good for Sore Eyes

1t IS a sight good for the sore
eyes to visit the factory site and
see what is really going on
right here in Arvada. Those
who have had dreams of Arvada
being a really, truly city will
soon realize that sometimes
dreams come true, for at the
time of going to press a squad Of
brick-layers, carpenters, and bod
carriers to the number of about
twenty or twenty-five are busily
engaged in erecting the walls.
which are being constructed of
red pressed brick. the mortar
between being colored black,
giving a most artistic and beau
tiful effect. The windows are
large, being about 8x8 feet;
thirty-five in number on all sides
and with the exception Of the Of
fee windows, which will have
large plate glass. the sash will
contain panes l2xl4 inches. The
stills will be 10 inches above the
floors and the caves of the roof,
which will be guttered, will rest
ID inches above the windows,
giving an eleven-foot ceiling.
The brick work will be extended
above the caves to a neat cor
nice above.
At the southeast corner of the
building will be the engine room,
near which in the east end of the
building will be a drive way into
the main shop. The floor Of the
work shop will be cement.
To look at the building it
would seem that a hundred work.
men would have ample room to
work and in point Of sanitation,
ventilation and light the condi-
tons will be ideal.
Considering the very unfavor-
able weather, splendid progress
has been made under the direc-
tions of H. c. Field, the super
intendent of construction and
the building committee.
President Clark is right on
the job, coming out in his auto
every day, bringing with him
parties who are investigating
the proposition with a view to
purchasing stock in the company.
We are told that the Denver of.
flee is meeting with splendid sue
cess in this respect.
All things point to a speedy
completion of the building, and
it is hoped that the company will
be manufacturing tires within a
few weeks at the most.

Our Trip to
Monte Vista
BY o. B. DRAKE

We left Denver Thursday at
7:45 p. m. and soon crawled into
our berths for the night. Some
of us were excited a little and
hence could not sleep much. The
night dragged through and with
the dawn of Friday morning the
boys began to stir and when we
looked out, the barren country
east of Alamosa met our gaze.
We looked eagerly for some sign
of civilization, but were soon at
our first stopping place, Alalnosa,.
arriving there ut 6:2O a. m. We
had been advised not to stop
there Tor breakfast, as they
charged too much. On inquiry,
we found they only charged rs
cents per meal. We left Alamosa
at TAO, arriving in Monte Vista
at $40 a. m. The boys met us
and piloted us to a restaurant.
We loafed around on Friday,
looking over the town and in the
afternoon the school held a rally.
All of our boys were lined up in
front and were the target for all
the speeches. The coach" was
called on first for few remarks
then the captain of the team.
Both responded in u very
pleasing" manner. Th,n there
were other speeches, and music
and we dispersed to our respect
i've places of entertainment. We
were royalty entertained and then
played our first game Friday
night. We gave them a fine rub
the score being 32 to As. We
rested Friday night and played
again on Saturday afternoon.
We lost by about the same
score, 40 to So. BY this time the
altitude had begun to get in its
work and this coupled with the
long trip had its effect. The
Saturday evening game was not
so good. We had auto rides
galore, and the boys all had an
excellent time. On Sunday morn
ing we went to church. and more
auto rides in the afternoon, so
that some of the boys were al
most ready to stay down in the
valley. 1t was the impression
that there was something at.
tractive" down there. 1t looked
to a casual observer as if there
might at least have been a dozen
in the same auto.
1t was rumored that one of our
boys had forgotten to pack in
his grip on leaving an essential
bedroom attire.
We took sleepers home on Sun
day evening. The whole town
folk were at the train to bid US
goodbye.
We want to say that we were
vel nicely treated, and have no
excuses to make. The trip was
rather tiresome and the altitude
just Il half mile higher than here,
these things were against us, but
we have no kick" to make on
treatment or on officials.
We could beat that team two
to one on our own floor, but they
are good sports and good players.
We had the pleasure Of meet
ing our old friend and "A former
. graduate of our schools, Otto
Schneider. He is travelling in
spector for the Denver and Rio
Grande X. r.. with headquar-
tiers at Alamosa. We are glad

Golden Has New
Postmaster To-day.

We understand that Jerry A :.
Ferris. the newly appointed post
master of Golden, will take his
office to-day, April LIST. The
goal was not reached without a
struggle, as this was a political
plum that was much sought after
and some of the contestants and
their friends resortsd to not only
unfair but foul methods to pre-
vent Mr.. Ferris appointment.
However, after a rigid investiga-
ton of reports. the appointment
was confirmed by the senate,
which is a vindication of Mr..
Ferris good name. His many
friends throughout Jefferson
county and the state are glad to
see him recognized in this man.
ner. Mr.. Ferris is a man Of cler-
ical and executive ability and
there is no doubt about Golden
getting the best service possible
in Uncle Sans busy Office. 1t is
hoped and believed by many that
the sore spots will soon heal over
and that Golden patrons of the
post-office will appreciate both

appointment.

Jessie Pierce Locke
Dead in Kansas

Late Sunday night J. A. Pierce
received a message over the
phone that his daughter, Mrs,
Jessie Locke, wife of T. S. Locke,
county treasurer, at Liberal,
Kansas, was dying" Mrs.
Pierce prepared to go and left
on the 3 o'clock train from Den
yer Monday afternoon.
After she had gone, hoping
against hope that her daughter
might be spared Mr.. Pierce re-
ceived the written telegram by
mail stating his daughter was
dead, having died in childbirth.
MIR. Pierce had misunderstood
the phone message, in his ex-
citement.
The news was a terrible shock
to the entire family, as Jessie,
the oldest child, 33 was idolized
by all. Another thing that
makes her taking away the sad
der is that she leaves bright
little daughter of three, who will
miss the tender caresses of
mama"
Mrs. Locke lived at Liberal in
her girlhood days, where she was
courted by 7. S. Locke which
courtship ripened into love. She
came to Colorado and Arvada
with her parents about ten years
ago and two years later was mar
ried to Mr.. Locke and returned
to Liberal to live.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce only a
few weeks ago sent their other
daughter, Maude, to San Jacinto,
California for, health, She was
greatly Improved as soon as she
crossed the mountain ranges and
got into a lower altitude.
The Pierce family have the
sympathy of the entire commun.
ity in their grief and trouble.
