Alan went upstairs to the room neXi

for his own use the night before, and
found it now prepared for his occu-
pancy. When he came down again to
the first floor, Wassaquam was no
where about, but he heard sounds in
the service rooms on the basement
floor. He went part way down the
service stairs and saw the Indian in
the kitchen, preparing dinner. Wassa-
guam had not heard his approach, and
Alan stood an instant watching the
Indians tall, thin figure and the quick
movements of his disproportionately
small, well-shaped hands. almost like
a woman's; then he scuffed his foot
upon the stair, and Wassaquam turned
swiftly about.

Alan went back to the first floor and
into the smaller library. The room

Tie following article accompanied

ano showing the Angel, appears in
the last number of The Mountain
States Monitor, ard should lie of mich
interest to our readers:
Pointing toward the realms beyond
the stars, the Angel of Mount Shaw
ano is plainly visible from the Gunni-
son Highway, near Monarch Pass, in
Southwestern Colorado. The atten-
tion of travellers over the highway is
arrested by this vision formed of
spotless snow, nesting in depres-
sion just below the summit of the
mountain and keeping watch over the
valley below.
The figure of the angel is so perfect
as to require no effort of the imagi-
nation. With wings out-stretched as
if poised for flight from the noun

stcodfast as does the Holy Cross some
sixty miles to the North, to give re-
ncwcd strength and faith to faltering
humanity
III. Arthur C. Chapman, author of
Out Where the West Begins" has
raid tribute to the Angel of Mount
Shavano in the following beautiful
verses:
where peaks are clustered friendly
wise,
As if to talk of solemn things,
Ir to sustain those arching skies
Where glad sun resplendert
swings,
Mid granite wastes that none may
tread,
Uron the heights of Shavano,
There broods form, with wings out
spread,
Wrought rot in marble but in snow!

my Mysteiious figure, poised above
This beauteous, silent, rock girt
vale,
What matters man, his hate, his love,
His gold, as worthless as the shale
Beneath your feet? How many years
Have you mused thus on Shavano-.
Compassionate beyond mere tears
Wrought not in marble but in snow?
Here in this studio so vast,
What was the sculptor's hand that
wrought
The changless die, where you are cast
Each year anew? What Power
caught
These up-flung crags ard compassed
them
Into the shape of Shavano,
Perfect from wing to garments
Wrought not in marble, but in
snow?"

Mr.. Hooper in his letter advised the

The sixth day of the shopmen's

At Albuquerque. New Mexico,

NJ. Painleve upheld the premier
against M. Cachin's charge that in
March 1917 NJ. Poincare had repealed
overtures by Prince Sixtus Of Bour-
bon, in behalf of his imperial brother
in-law. offering separate peace with
Austria.
NJ. Painleve, who at the time was
war minister in the Ribot cabinet de-
clared that M. Poincare acted with
the full accord Of the cabinet in re-
fusing the Sixtus proposals on the
ground that they could not be accept
ed by France without betraying Italy
and because the guarantees were in
sufficient.
1t was generally conceded in parlia-

had served to strengthen the govern

parties of the left.

man.
Attorney Thomas argument, in
which he reviewed the wartime &C
tiyities of the various companies with
which Mr.. Morse was connected. was
amplified by Judge Nash lockwood
of New York, associated with him in
the defense. The latter outlined the
evidence that would be introduced
TO refute the charges of the federal
officials.
Following the openings, Bart Muir
ray, an accountant for some time IN
the employ of the United States Stem
ship Co, was called as the first wit
ness, and was still on the stand at
noon. He testified relative to the cap
italization of the different subsidiaries
OF the steamship company, stating that
he had obtained his figures from the
books of the company. now in one OF
the rooms of the federal building here.
After Commissioner Chapman had
ruled that it would be necessary to
show that the books had been Kept
p1CIerly, Murray testified that all the
entries were made either by him or
urder his direction, that he knew of no
improber entries and that none or the
Morses ever had directed him relative
to entries.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by Attorney Thomas in his opening
to review the arrest and conviction OF
Morse for violation of the banking
laws a number Of years ago. subse-
ouent to which he was pardoned by
President Taft. Mr.. Thomas intimated
that he wished to go into this matter
as it was probable that when Morse
took the stand he would be asked II ne
had ever been convicted Of felony. but
Commissioner Chapman assured him
that this would not in the slightest
gree affect his rights IN the present
proceedings.
Another witness for the defence was
. Denicl O'Hare, Washington account
ant employed as an auditor by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and sta
toned at the plant of the Virginia
SEipbuilding Corporation from April
until October, 1919. He was questioned
fer the purpose of showing that the
corporation was going concern.
Indications TO-DAY were that the hear
ing would continue for week and
possibly two weeks.

BRANDS
COMMUNISTS AS
TOOLS OF GERMANY

Paris, July 6.-(By A. P.)-Premier
Poincare replying to charges by the
Communist party attempting to fasten
responsibility for the war upon him,
declared that the campaign was aim
ed much higher than his personality;
1t was part of Germanys program to
place France before the world as
sharing in the war so as to eyade pay
ment of PREPARATIONS which, according
to the treaty of Versailles, is based
upon acknowledgements by Germany
of her own responsibility.
Willingly or unwillingly the COM
munlsts were tools OF German propa =
gandists, the premier charged in the
course of an explanation of his foreign
policy, from the time he was called to
the presidency of the cabinet by Pres
ident Fallieres in 1912 until he relin-
uished the presidency of the republic
IN 1920. At no time, he said, had he
favored an aggressive policy.
DO you believe" asked the pre-
mier, "that the sixteen nations which
espoused the cause of France would
lave come to our assistance had they
not been convinced of Germany's re-
sponsibility? Do YOU believe the
United States would have entered the
wah had its government and the peo-
pie thought France in the slightest
way responsible for it?"
NJ. Poincare received an enthusiast
tic ovation by the deputies when he
mounted the tribune to answer the
charges of Marcel Cachin, the COM
munist leader. who did not produce
the documents which he had promised
would show NJ. Poincare's part in
bringing on the war. 1t was noted
that even the socialists who usually
oppose the government. in this in
stance abandoned their communist
friends, and the chamber broke out
in applause which was practically UNI
animous.

SEA PLANES
Continued from PAGE One)

bilities Of seaplanes in fire warden's
work.
Il am much interested and think
1t would be a fine thing to try it out
and see just how effective it would
be. Our conditions are so different
from those in the western states
where aircraft are used that j
would be especially good in patrol
ing the forests of Maine after light
ming storms, Sundays and HOLIDAYS
and particularly in hazy weather be-
cause the lookout stations cannot see
SO far.
THE seaplane has further advan-
tage in that it might be helpful in
getting two or three men to the
scene of the fire quickly, when it is
not near civilization. BY this method
it would be possible to attack the
fire directly after discovery, rather
than waiting six or eight hours.
The worst season on record for
forest fires was that of 1921 and the
funds were wiped out, so that there
is no money with which to buy a
sSd pIdllc or 10 make the EXPERIMENT.,
Il should recommend a seaplane
for this work, by all means. All
over the State there are ponds and
other bodies of water where the sea
plane could land.
On the Pacific coast airplanes are
used In forest patrol work. Aircraft
are also used in Ontario, Quebec.
British Columbia and Is working out
with considerable success. Placing
seapanes in fire patrol work in
Maine would be an entirely new en-
deavor in this part of the country.
The possibilities of lessening the gen
eral expenses of the work are but
speculation, in the opinion Of Mr..
Dana, until the scheme can be fully
experimental upon.
The seaplane would not by any
means replace the lookout towers.
They would have to be maintained
just the same.
MIR. Dana is very much in favor of
trying out the experiment, but he
gives out word that due to the fact
that the funds are exhausted he can
not talk business with aircraft sales
men.
