FEW REAL CHANGES
MADE IN THE TREATY

Paris. June l0.-Opinion in the
matter Of liberalizing the German
treaty has swung directly against les
sening the rigidity of that instrument
This attitude is manifested by the
economic experts.
Present impressions from the meet.
ings Of this supreme body are that
there will be little change in the orig
inal draft, although increasing pres
sure by the British is eycrtel in
favor Of notifications. The French
are not as adamant as lhay were, but
they insist that revisions shall be
regarded only as changes and not as
concessions. The British favor such
notifications as shall tend to give
strength and permanence to the trea-
ty, and the Americans occupy middle
ground.
! am informed that one of the al
terations that seem assured deals
with the creation and powers of a
committee, to sit in Germany and to
determine definite sums that Germany
must pay.
Germany's wish to be admitted TO
the league Of nations is finding sup
port owing to her Willingness to limit
the army to 100000 men. In view Of
this -militaristic demonstrat ion,
some of the allied delegates believe
Germany should be secured against
aggression and should enjoy the
guardianship of the league.
A comprehensive answer will be
made to the German counter proposals,
and will also reply specifically and at
length to each of the points raised by
the German delegation.
Expectations in British circles
shared by the French, is that the con-
ference rejoinder to the German coun-
ter-proposals will be presented toward
the end Of next week, and that the
Germans will be allowed several days
in which to deliberate on their final
answer.
Although unanimity has not yet
been reached by the Big Four as to
their full reply, developments in the
Silesian problem coincide with pre-
dictions in these dispatches--that n
plebiscite will be permitted In North
CiH anu tuS sCCtiOu ESdS I
Prussia handed over by the treaty to
Poland. and that in Silesia the Ger
man right to economic consideration
in respect TO the product of the mines
will be recognized. although Germany
will have no share in exploiting their
mines.
These changes in the treaty are
urged as in harmony with the general
principle Of acknowledgement of eth
nical and historical rights.
1t is said in French circles, that the
crisis that has been threatened in the
conference has been avoided. and that
complete unity exists on all matters
of importance. The French view is
that consideration of the German coun-
ter proposals should be guided not by
what Germany may think of this or
that concession, or whether such will
induce her to sign, but by the undoubt-
ed right of the conference to impose
conditions ii considers just and neces-
sary.

oldtime courage and nerve, Power
Face" Eckerd, champion steer bull
dogger, will be among the contestants
at the Fifth Annual New Mexico Cow
boys Reunion, to be held here July 9,
3 and 4. Eckerd made the contest here
in 1917 shortly after he mad registered
for the draft He left with the first
contingent of San Miguel County boys,
September, 1917, for Camp Funston,
where he was placed in machine gun
battalion. While at the camp he en-
gagged in frontier days tournament,
and displayed so much nerve that he
was complimented by his commanding
officer. In France, Eckerd distinguish
ed himself. He was in the thick of
the fight until he was gasSed so badly
that he had to go to the hospital.
Eckerd was here until few days
ago. having hiked directly to his old
stamping ground at Jim Whitmore's
corral. He has gone to Peoria, HIS,
where he is being featured as a top
liner by the management of n big
roundup to be held the latter part Of
this month.
Eckerd is an all around hand, but
his best work is done in bulldogging, II
hazardous feat, in which mounted
cowboy runs down fleeing steer,
and while horse and cow-brute are in
full motion, leaps from his saddle,
seizes the beast by the horns and
throws him to the ground. Eckerd
also does this stunt from n moving
automobile. He has knack of falling
under the steers neck, which makes
the spectators gasp for breath, as it
looks like Eckerd had been crushed.
But he always arises unhurt.

The Tucumcari Roundup promises
to be another big event. Those in
charge of this years program say it
will be larger and better than last
year. With the big oil boom in full
swing in August there is no reason
why this years crowd should not be

cash prizes will be $4,000 and the best

Howard Bennett and Hubert Cur
bello, II and l3 years of age, left
Tucumcari Monday night by the box
car route for parts unknown. They
told some of their boy friends that
they intended to go to III Paso, but
up to Tuesday noon nothing had been
heard from them. 1t was thought by
Mr.. Curbello that the boys possibly
got into some open refrigerator cars
bound for California. The doors were
shut and fastened and he feared the
boys wca!d suffer for water and food.
He left Wednesday night for Duran
in search Of the boys. 1t is hoped that
the lads will be found in good shape,
and they will return home much wiser
from this experience. Boys always
find that home is the best place on
earth after they get out in the cold
world and try to make "A living fol

AMERICAN FARMERS
 MIGRATE ID CANADA
(speciaI to The RepubIicanl

REGINA. Sask. Two hundred wealthy American farmers. mostly from the corn belt of the United States. have bought 43.0O0 acres ol land in the Snipe Lake district for N,750,000 and will move onto their farms next spring.
 Minneapolis land company inaug urated bimonthly excursions into Canada last summer. They were the first excursions of the kind since be- fore the war. Many of the American excursionists were impressed with the land which produces from 20 to SO bushels of wheat to the acre and pur chased farms at what seemed ridicul- ously low prices compared with valua- tions south of the boundary.
 During a period of six weeks. an other land company sold S350,000 worth of farm lands in the Milestone district on the southeast of Regina and most of the purchasers were Americans
 A typical sale was that of I'll acres at SIS an acre to J. W. ripper of Tabor. la, who sold his farm in that state for S400 an acre. MT. ripper also bought three sections of land in other districts of Saskatchewan at an aver age of s65 an acre.

BIOGRAPHER GIVES
 INTERESTING LIGHT
 ON COL. ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-A new and interesting explanation of Colonel Roosevelt's objection to the use of the phrase Tn God We Trust" on United States coins, is afforded in an article in the December Scribner's by Joseph Bucklin Bishop, the former presidents biographer
 A letter written by Mir. Roosevelt on November Il, 1907 to a clergyman who had differed with him about placing the motto on the coins read:
 When the question of the new coin age came up We looked into the law and found there was no warrant there in for putting In God We Trust on the coins. As the custom, although with out legal warrant. had grown up, how ever. I might have felt at liberty to keep the inscription had I approved of its being on the coinage. But as I did not approve of it, l did not direct that 1t should again be put on. Of course the matter of the law is abso- lutely fin the hands of congress, and any direction of congress in the matter will be immediately obeyed. At pres ent- as I have said, there is no warrant in law for the inscription.
 My own feeling In the matter is due 
 such motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverence which comes dan gerously close to sacrilege.
 "A beautiful and solemn sentence such as the one in question should be treated and uttered only with that fine reverence which necessarily implies a certain exaltation of spirit. Any use which tends to cheapen it, and above all. any use which tends to secure it's being treated in a spirit of levity, is from every standpoint profoundly to be regretted.
 Tt is a motto which i sinded well to have inscribed on our great national monuments, in our temples of justice, in our legislative halls, and in build ings such as those at West Point, and Annapolis-in short, wherever it will tend to arouse and inspire a lofty emo ton in those who look thereon. But 1t seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on coins, just as it would be to cheapen it by use on postage stamps, or in advertise ments."
 Among the 15O,O0O letters written to Colonel Roosevelt during his public career, MT. Bishop said he found q number from Rudyard Kipling. written in that famous authors characteristic way. that is. in the tiniest chirography
 In letter written in 1908 the col onel said: Great Heart" is my favor ite character in allegory just as Pill grim's Progress is to my mind one oi the greatest books that was ever writ ten: and think that Abraham Lincolr is the Great Heart of public life" H. returned to this idea about Lincoli from time to time, a fact which ex plains the origin of Kiplings memoria poem entitled Great Heart" writtel when the colonel died.
 Colonel Roosevelt's admiration fo the great emancipator was also show in a letter which he wrote on Marcl 9, 1905, few days after his inaugu ration, to Sir George Trevelyan, tn English historian and nephew of Mac aulay in which the colonel said:
 'It has been peculiarly pleasant t me to find that my supporters are L

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-Sentimentad l factors contributed to the better tone ! of today's stock market. A moderate rally in foreign exchange, removal of coal restrictions and assurance of easier money in the coming week in duced considerable short covering. There also was some buying for the long account.
 The strongest features of the market however, were the speculative issues in the motor, oils, steel and equip ment divisions, with liberal admixture of food, paper and miscellaneous specialties.
 Extreme gains Of to points in the many stocks which crumbled the day before were retained at the active finish. many leaders closing at maxi mum quotations. Rails played no part in the trading. Sales amounted to $50, 900 shares.
 Bonds followed the course of the stock market. standard industrial is sues hardening. Total sales par value, aggregated S12,S75,000.
 A decrease of about s25,000,000 in actual reserves of the clearing houses reduced the total excess to little more than S2S,000,000, while actual loans were increased by almost s3S,O00, 900. Am.

We are told that decorated gloves

thoughts very far back to when gloves
were most elaborate and important

wonderful pairs embroidered in gold
and even precious stones, while hawk
Ing gloves were miniature works of
art. The sterner times of Cromwell
Danished such frivolities. but intro.

which had revival last winter. The

had embroidery on their gloves and
