New York, May 6.-Ray Brown. one
of the big guns on Everybody's Maya
zine. was riding atop a Fifth avenue
bus the other Sunday afternoon when
a friend with him rushed down the
dink:- stairway to the street to pur-
chase a Sunday evening newspaper sold
by the leather-lunged newsies.
The most trivial news event Is her
aided to the world in screeching head
lines-the kind of type that cannot be
kept in cases but in sacks. When the
friend returned with his paper, Brown
inquired why he was SO foolish to squan-
der his money on such proposition.
The friend then told of a gambler
who was once seen coming out of a
faro house in Laramie. A man who
saw him said:
Don't you know that games crook
ed?"
Sure do" was the answer. But
it's the only one in town"

way, the date of Harry's next trial will

 Third. both Great Britain and the United States were to have free nay igation of the Mississippi river, and our country was to have all its col oniaI fisheries rights restored.
 Fourth, creditors of both nations were authorized to collect old debts held in abeyance by the war. and Congress was to be asked to pass relief acts for the benefit of Ameri- cans who had suffered through their loyalty to England.
 A Secret Clause in the Treaty
 Then there was a separate and sec- ret clause of agreement that if Eng land should at any time win Florida back from Spain, the southern boun- daries of the United States were to be extended in accordance with the change in ownership.
 These. in brief we're the terms of the treaty that freed us from the mother country and put an official end to the Revolutionary War-bot- ter terms than many Americans had dared to hope for; better terms than could possibly have been gained but for the courage and wit of the five men who represented our country at the Treaty of Peace.

serious trouble. Briefly, their plan was to go straight ahead with the ne
 gotiations. without consulting Frances wishes, and to disregard orders given them by Congress.
 This they did. And success crown ed their plucky action. It took all Franhin's skill. however, to ward off clash with France. because of the commissioners disregard Of Frances wishes.
 The boundaries question was the first and toughest problem in draw ing up the Treaty of Paris. Great Britain seemed inclined to think that the Alleghany mountains should be the westernmost limit of the United States. Franklin held out for the Mississippi river as our western boundary. And in time. through the sheer perseverance and genius, he carried the day.
 After that the rest of the task was more or less easy. although the com or America were forced to fight hotly over one or two points. The treaty itself was a triumph for the five Yankees Cat whose "home- made diplomacy" the rest of the world had been sneering) over the foremost diplomats of Europe.
 The treaty, at last. in September, i7SS. was whipped into the following shape:
 First and foremost. Great Britain acknowledged the absolute independ- | snce of each and all of her former American colonies, the thirteen States 'f the new Union.

(New York yvorld)

h-'-'' HHrH
 This is a story Of the Peace treaty that closed the Revolutionary War and established our freedom.
 When Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. England's last hope Of con Querins her rebellous American col onies was gone. The war was really at an end. though it was not yet ad- mltted by Great Britain that we were free. At last commissioners were chosen by both nations to meet in Psris to settle peace terms.
 This negotiating terms was no simple task. for France and Spain both wanted a hand in the affair, both working for her own interests. Also. Great Britain was sending to. the conference some ot her wiliest statesmen. To offset an this. the United States was forced to rely on Q committee Of five Americans whose only statesmanship had been learned in the rough school Of revolutionary experience. They were Franklin. Jay. Laurens. Adams and Jefferson. !
 France had been our friend in the Revolution. But shrewd old Franklin suspected that she would favor her ally. Spain rather than the United States in the matter of fixing our boundary rights. Congress. too. had hampered the commissioners with ! masses Of windy instructions and ad-I vice.
 A Daring Move in Diplomacy
 Franklin and his colleagues decided on a bold. course, which. in case of failure. might have gotten them into
