Great Plan
For German
j. 5. Trade
Cerman-owned Property In
America to Be Put to
Useful Purpose, Rather
Than Fatten Teuton
Governmental Assets.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Copyright BY The Intelligencer)

Washington, March 3o.-America's :
problem with respect 20 German prop
erty held In the United States, Is grow
ing acute.
To give back the property to the Ger
man owners, it has just been discovered
would mean virtual confiscation by the
German government ana the proceeds
would go into the national treasury
either for government uses or to pay
reparations to the allied governments.
Colonel Thomas W. Miller, alien
property custodian, who has been work
ing upon the tangle for months has pre-
/. sented a plan 70 President Harding out
Of which II Is expected policy soon
viii be evolved.
Here Is the essential objects which
Il is sought TO attain by the plan:
First. American citizens whose rcla-
tives lost their lives on the Lusttania or
who lost property at the hands Of Ger
many during the war shall be paid.
Plan to Restore Trade.
Second. German citizens who have
been seized by the American govern
ment shall not be made 10 suffer un-
duly but should have their property
back as soon as possible and the German
government shall be required to agree
not to apply its severe tax laws 20 this
particular property.
Third, instead OF permitting the Ger
man government TO confiScate through
taxation the bulk OF the estates held BY
the alien property custodian. the Amer
lean government shall use portion OF
the proceeds TO AHNy American Claims
and q portion as collateral for huge
trading corporation which shall help re-
establish commercial relations between
the United States and Germany. one
hundred million dollars OF German as
sets held by the American government
would be sufficien, basis. IL - C;,lCu-
lated, for 4 billion dollar credit. There
are German owners with 4 hundred
million dollars Of property here who
have expressed a strong desire to have
their assets pooled in such a Gnas'-
government corporation which would
operate under the Edge laW.
While the Harding administration IL
not committed TO any specific proposals
and is still welcoming suggestions. Il j.
true that the plan submitted by Co'onc!
Miller Is the first official SoMuonn
which has been brought forward.

THE ROAD FROM ALBUQUERQUE
 -T0. DENVER

Ralph Haney, writing for the Los Angeles Examiner here tells of his trip from. Albuquerque to Denver. Haney is the man who so generously praised Mohave County roads in for mer article.
 The two-day rest in Albuquerque served not only to give time for stretching tired muscles but also re- lieved mental fatigue enough to make the resuming of the trip another pleasant anticipation. We left there rather late Wednesday morning.
 There are many interesting places and sights for the traveller in Albu- querque, but all were happily left be- hind as the paved stretch of road that leads to Santa Fe deceives one in that at last pumping and jarring are at an end. This pavement extends for only IF miles, however, and then a none too good desert road crawls along and up to the famous La Bajada Pass. And this pass is one that to even the hard ened cross-country traveller provides enough worry. ..
 From level desert approach at the approximate elevation of 5000 feet the road winds, in its Smile length to the altitude of nearly 1000 feet, or the height of the city of Santa Fe. This was our third trip over the pass and if being familiar with conditions can lead to contempt of them we were of the La Bajada. After boiling our way to the top of this grade, where

REMARKABLE HILL
 CLIMB BY MAXWELL

We are accustomed to hearing of seemingly impossible hill climbs made simple by the good Maxwell" says
 Black and Ellis, local Maxwell dealers,
 but one of the most remarkable I
 have ever heard of in my entire ex-
 perience with automobiles is reported
 from a small town and a big hill
 down in Arizona.
 "Schnebley Hill, on the fringe of the desert, overlooking Sedona, Ari- zona, is seven miles long. It is really sizeable mountain. The road to it's summit is no more than a wagon track, boulder-strewn, curved and dou- ble-curved, almost impossible. A mighty tough climb for an automobile, you"ll agree, under the most favorable conditions. Yet, a good Maxwell tour ing car reached the summit of Schne- bley Hill, carrying 10 passengers plus lO0 pounds of water, which had been added to bring the load up to 1900 pounds.
 At some points the hill reaches a So per cent grade. In one spot where there is pitch of this degree the par ty encountered deep, sticky clay, plac- ed in the road to repair dangerous waShouts, but the good Maxwell pass ed through it all and on to the crest.
 "The descent as we'll as the climb. had to be made in low gear-14 miles of low speed driving-and carrying a ! super-excess load when most cars would have groaned for mercy. The members of the party, all of whom were prominent business men in Se dona and Jerome, Arizona, believed 1 that their driver had taken on a job 1! bigger than any car could we'll handle, i but after the performance they were more than willing to furnish an affi- davit giving their account of the trip. The facts set down here were taken from that document.

towering above the trees in the vicin- ity.
 Beautiful Camp Spot.
 We were directed to camp in small canyon on the outskirts of Palmer | Lake and found there the most ideal l camping place imaginable. We spread our blankets on a bed of long grass that was studded with dandelions and under smelly pines and frs. A beau tiful stream ran past the foot of our camp and its gurglings seemed to put to rhythm the perfume of the count ' less wild roses that were everywhere. 1 It was with deep regret that we left this camp and, climbing to the road, headed past Palmer Lake toward Den yer, 52 miles away. The town of Cas- tie Rock, snugly protected by noun tain rock castle, was soon passed.
 Thes remaining miles were filled with thrills aplenty. When we did not skid broadside of the road we were praying that some one of the speed ing natives did not side swipe us from the highway.
 We dashed madly into Denver to buy a tire and replenish our larder and then again hurriedly out to camp in Overland Park. On some unfor- giving bump we had broken spring in the right read shock absorber anC thought that the first thing we would do would be to repair the damage. But we were wrong. There can be no car repairing done in the park and if you get the car down before you are found out they tow you out. We found this out before complications could develop, but won- dered why such a rule is not made known to the visitors as he enters the place.

It locks the nut and if, through any defect the joint ever springs a leak, the tape prevents the gasoline from flowing out. The tape is wound tight ly around the pipe adjacent to the connection and also around the nut

forming the connection. When this is done the nut is held securely. There is never any danger of vibration shak- ing the nut loose and thus causing a leak.

CAUSE OF SHORT CIRCUITS

A short circuit is sometimes caused when acid is spilled on the battery surface and allowed to run down the frame or carrier which supports the battery. Keep the top of the battery clean and cover all metal parts with grease after corrosion is removed from them.

USE TAPE

A gasoline connection will remain tight indefinitely if it is securely bound with ordinary friction or tire tape. The tape has a duel function.

You'll shake hands with yourself over your sav- ing in tires and tubes if you let our EXPERT VULCAN

ment had been submitted to the

Answering the questions Of the
opposition, Griffith said that IL
elected he would use his position
to give effect to the constitutional
vote of the Dali to carry out the
terms OF the treaty.
Mr.. Devalera continued to press
Tor definite answer TO his aues-
tion whether Griffith would act as
the executive Of the republic.
"The republic OF Ireland" re-
piled Griffith, remains in being
until the free state comes into be-
ing, and there is an opportunity to
put the question before the elec-
torate.''
Griffith said the Dali had ap-
proved the treaty and that 1t must
be carried into effect. Therefore.
he added. 1--WE must have a pro-

Miss Mary MacSwiney said Grif-

The present course OF the Dali,

questioned the wisdom of putting
up Griffith, man who was
bound by his signature to the

He declared NO man who had sign

posed to do graciously in carrying
