PEKING. China, November 4.-Con-
clusion of the commercial treaty be-
tween Germany and China has been
followed by a rush of German mer-
chants to the far east and rapid
on the part of the former enemy.
The waiver of extra territorial rights
in the agreement is accepted OPP
timistically by German officials, who
have already been able to recover
for their nationals property and
German merchants. offering quicker
delivery, are taking orders away
from British and American competi-
tors.
Dr. Won Borch. German minister
here, made the follow ing statement
concerning, the new treaty to this
correspondent today:
Effects stin in Doubt.
1.-THE agreement concluded between
Germany and China" he said, is
comparable to a commercial draft
drawn on sight No one would in
dorse or accept such document un-
less he had full confidence in the
signatories Germany did not hesi-
tate to place this confidence in China
when it agreed to put Germans in
China on the same footing IN judicial
matters as the Chinese themselves.
1t is too early yet to see the actual
effects Of this change. as no impor-
been brought before the Chinese
courts. Much depends upon China's
ability to improve her judicial sys-
tenn as she promised in the new
treaty"

which all other nationalities have
deplored.
II am confident" continued Dr. Won
Borch. that the treaty will enable
Germany, through the strenuous ac-
tivities of her merchants. to Obtain
by fair competition business results
which will contribute in part to the
, staggering sum which Germany re-
Quires to meet the heavy exactions

ciple OF reciprocity could not be ex-

right of Germans to reside and trade

ditions prevailing in the interior Of
China"
This statement is important as
since the resumption Of Chinese Ger
man relations there has been a great
influx Of Germans, who have again
become an important commercial
factor in the country. They have
already secured large lumber con-
tracts owing to the fact that they
are able to make quick deliveries.

late summer and fall Because OF
these conditions, and the important
part that the summer range plays In
the development of agricultural COM
munities, every effort is being made
to put upon the ranges all the stock

horses and $3.50 sheep were grazed
under 1926 permits.
The National Forest necessarily in
cludes some agricultural lands, which

the settler, after examination and re-
port by forest officer. and listing
with the land office for entry. Under
this act about $40 applications have
resulted in the listing of some $1,000
acres, most of which is now occupied.
Although experience shows that in
most cases such lands are chiefly
valuable for summer pastures rather
than for year-long homes. there are
still a number of acres subject to
entry by any qualified person. Re-
Gently a complete classification has

which has resulted in showing its
general unsuitability, and the conse-
quent classification of it. as nom
listable.
In its effort to further the interests
of the community the service has in
terested itself in many minor activi-
ties In addition to making sales of
commercial tribes, the Uncompahgre
is furnishing every year about 100000
feet of timber free to settlers and
ranchmen. to be used for the i'm
provement of their farms. 1t is as
sisting in the protection of wild game
and in restocking depleted fishing
streams. The rangers make monthly
readings of snowscales in the noun
tains, which are used by the U. S.
Weather Bureau for its valuable re-
ports. and help the U. S. Geological
Survey in the gaging of streams to
show the r-un-off available for irriga-
tion or power. AS fast as time and
funds will allow. the Forest Service
is improving roads and trails upon
the forest. posting them with signs
showing the direction and distances
to important points, and in general
making the forest resources more
available for visitors and pleasure
seekers.

The second great object of the
Forest, the protection of watersheds,
is here Of especial importance. The
towns Of Fruita. Olathe, Montrose,
RidGway and Ouray all derive their
municipal water from the Forest, and
consequently the maintenance of q
ground cover that will prevent the
washing Of soil and impurities into
the streams. the regulation Of graz
ing and the opportunity afforded the
towns OF protecting their watersheds
without the expense Of owning them,
are among the highest uses which
the Forest offers to the community at
large.

of the Forest to irrigation. Delta and

other neighboring counties as we'll.

about 100000 acres, or approximately
the size of the state OF Rhode Island.
When the first supervisor. DR.. II.
X. Porter. took charge OF the Forest
in 1906, he had only two or three
rangers to help him In the task OF
putting the area under administra-
tion. As the work has grown the

districts average in area about l0s..
600 acres. In addition to the regular
force. one or two forest guards are
appointed each summer to help on
special work. and n teamster to drive

The primary objects in withdraw
ing the National Forest were the pro-
duction OF timber and Its protection
from fire and wasteful cutting; and
equally important. the protection OF
the sources Of municipal and irriga'

heavy cover OF the Forest not only
delays the melting of the snow by
