SAAR VALLEY PROPOSALS
ARE ALL TURNED DOWN

Paris, May 25.--With the excep-
of the first transatlantic air flight
gestions and counter proposals by
Germany for the disposition of the
saar basin rnve been rejected by the
reply Of tn, allied and associated pow
ers.
Count Won BrocSdorff- -Rartzau's s
appeal for an oral discussion of the
points at issue on this subject was
ignored.
The concession agreed to Is that
Germany might create prior charge
upon her assets or revenues for the
payment of the mines in the Saar
region, IL the plebescite goes against
France.
II, however, the sum agreed upon
is not paid within year from the
date it is due, the repara.ion commits
sion shall effect payment under in
structions from the league Of nations
This alteration was made in view
of Germany's declaration that it was
impossible for her to accumulate n
sufficient sum of gold with which to
pay for the mines in the fifteen years
before the plebiscite is taken, since
other reparation would constitute a
constant drain.

LISBON IN GALA ATTIRE
GREETS AMERICAN FIIERS

Lisbon, May 27.-The achievement
of the first transatlantic DIR flight
with Lisbon as the first European
stopping point, has aroused the en-
thusiasm of the Portuguese as no event
has stirred them for many years.
When the American seaplane NC-4
came up the Tague river this evening,
the populace, crowding all places of
vantage, gave full expression TO this
enthusiasm by cheers Of welcome, the
booming of guns and the ringing Of
bells.
For days the people of Lisbon had
been awaiting the completion Of this
momJntous voyage over the Atlantic
and, though disappointed from day to
day because Of the inability of Com
mander Read craft TO continue its
flight because Of unfavorable wealth
cr conditions, yet each day they look
ed hopefully towards the west for
he coming Of the Americans.
Early in the day word was flashed
that the NC-i had started and at in
tervals there were bulletins of the
progress made. The whole city was
|en fete, and during the latter hours
virtually all business was abandoned
by those who crowded everywhere to
witness the arrival.
Guided by skillful hands, the Ameri-
can plane. which had covered the
distance between the protecting de-
stroyers along the route with clock
like regularit" swept in over Lisbon
and settled down gracefully near the
cruiser Rochester.
It was not forgotten by many of
those who witnessed the triumph that
the Australian Hawker, was being
welcomed in England on his return
from wonderful Atlantic
flight, more spectacular, but not so
successful and their was praise for

GERMANY MUST ANSWER

Thursday of this week is the time
limit set for the Germans to make
known at Versailles what Germany
proposes to do with regard to accept
ing or rejecting the terms of peace
formulated for her.
Berlin reports still persists that the
German cabinet and the peace dele
gates at Versailles are one in their in
tention to request modification on
various clauses of the treaty, the pro-
visions Of which, it is declared, Ger
many will be unable to meet without
enslaving herself for life time.
Tuesday is spoken of in a Berlin
dispatch as the day on which Ger
many's answer will be ready. The
latest note of the Germans-their thir-
teenth-digs up again the question of
responsibilities. Germany asserts
that the only thing for which she is re-
sponsible is the violation of Belgian
neutrality. For this she is ready to
make reparation. 1t is asserted that
all the powers is responsible for the
war and that the material damage
was done by the allied armies as we'll
as b. the Germans.
The concession with regard to the
Saar valley agreed to by the allies
provides that Germany may create a
prior charge on her assets or revenues
for the payment for the mines in the
Saar region il the plesbiscite to be
held in the region fifteen years hence
should be against the Germans.
A new commercial treaty with Swift
zerland, under which Germany will
give Switzerland coal in return for
cattle and produce, is beng arranged.

me the copy of his citation, and then
we placed some of the flowers | had

Beauty roses and lilacs. The place is
so quiet and peaceful and in lovely
spot. am sure you would feel it was
a fitting resting place for your boy
who has so bravely given his life.
And you would have been proud of
your other boy as he stood there and
told me of his brother. He came
home with me then, and we had din
ner together. He told me of you and
his sister and brother. ! am glad he

I hope | shall see him again in
Paris, il ! do not, shall hope to hear
from him in the states and see him
when he comes to X. c. ! hope he
will get home safely, find what he
wants to do, and have happy, success
ful life. But what he wants to do first
of all is to see you, and hope he can
do that very soon. He is not unhappy
here, so you will not worry about
him on that score, and you will surely,

AMERICA WON THE WAR

America won the war according
to Field Marshal Ludendorff, who ex-
pressed his authoritative opinion very
explicitly to correspondent.
France and England would have
been beaten in 1918 but for America"
America proved to be the decisive
military factor of the war. The re-
serves swung the decision. They alone
made it possible to pull the worn-out
French and British divisions out Of
the line and to reorganize ever fresh
offensive armies"
The loss of the war seemed SEN
sitively sore subject about which to
question Ludendortf, but he stood the
brief probe without betraying u quiv-
er of emotion.

OIL PLACER CLAIMS ARE
VALID IN NEW MEXICO
go. WITHOUT DISCOVERY

That the locator of oil placer claims
located in New Mexico is fully pro-
tected and by properly posting his To-
cation notices and marking the corners
with posts or monuments on the claim
as provided by law, at once acquires
complete possessory title thereto and
protection to him from any person at
tempting to trespass on or locate the
same would seem to have been un-
questioned in New Mexico under the
provisions Of article 346l. section II,
of the mining statutes of New Mexico.
which declares:
provided that in cases where lands
have been located for petroleum oil or
natural gas, or both, :hc locator or To-
Gators thereof shall nave the right 70
the exclusive possession and occu-
pancy of the lands embraced in said
location for the purpose OF prospecting
for petroleum oil or natural gas, dur
ing the period Of time provided in this
section for making di 'covery OF petro-
leum oil or natural gas or both. The
locator or locators shall have the time
from the date of the location to the
end of the calender year succeeding
that in which the locaticn is made 10
make discovery of petroleum or gas"
Article 345l, section Z and sect'ln
3, provide that any person or corpora
tion who shall take down. remove. al
ter or destroy any stake, post, monu-
ment or notice of location upon a min
ing claim without the consent of thc
owner or shall in any manner alter,
deface or change the location notice,
in any manner affecting the rights
of another, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and punished by fine
and imprisonment
It has been a mooted question il
some of the western states. like Cal
ifornia and Wyoming, whether val
id claim could be established without
actual discovery of oil or gas at the
time of locating the claim. Those
states had no local statute like the one
of New Mexico, above cited, confer
ring exclusive possessory rights. The
result was great combustion and claim
jumping and the only possession was
that of "possesio pedis." In other
words any person could put his rig
on any public land and drill for oil
regardless of prior location, provided
there had been no actual discovery Of
oil or gas. However, leading decis.
ion favorable to the prior locator was
made in the case of Weed VS.. Shook.
la California supreme court reports,
l39, as follows: "One who in good
faith makes his location, remains in
possession, and with due diligence
prosecutes his work toward discov-
cry, is fully protected against all
forms of forcible, fraudulent surr,pti-
Gus or clandestine entries or intrusiona
upon his possessions
The question as to the rights ac-
quired by the locator oe the oil claims
has recently been ruled on by the de-
partment of the interior and is Of
such importance to all locators of
oil placer claims, and 20 liberal a. to
the question Of actual discovery of oil
and gas, THAT it should lie Of great
value at this time, and coupled with
the local statutory provisions of New
Mexico should dspel any doubt as 10
the right and title If such locacors
on the public domain in New Mexico.

LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskimos Said to Be Making Crafty.
ing Progress as Result of Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer, the Eskimos had sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an.invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in q future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely industrious, sanitary in
their habits, we'll clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care Of their house
hold effects. Tools, If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and in winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but it is matter Of
indifference to them. They will bar
ter for the white mans food, eat a
hearty meal of it, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents of a deer's stomach they
consider a great delicacy.

Every little hreene item you read has turned the wheels OF
some great factory Every time you see cut price the number OF

Many an advertisement planned year before it finds

You perhaps piece of muslin advertised here

SUGAR IL to IS Cents a Pound.

In these days of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost Of livino. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP day for laborers to 81 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
ing 10 cents or q haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were $3.50 to So day,
and ice, which was considered great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone Of
contention in those days, too, and it
cost II to Is cents pound.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving In Y. M. C. A. "Hut"
In Training Camp Finds Has
Duties Many and Varied.

If there is notion that 7. M. Q. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let it be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
/. He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds Of packages OF
laundry, umpires basketball games, Or
ganized glee club, stage-managed a
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivyer ten miles and
back three. times week/to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served. as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was one that came his way on a wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the "Y" hut after taps, carry
ing a red box under his arm.
"Say," said the master of arms,
'swe've got a lot of T. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night Cor tried to sleep) with enough
high explosive under his cot to blow
him half way to heaven.
