Coolidge's consent to 10 additional

I doubt whether British or American

I am under no illusions as to latent
causes of conflict and international
rivalry which lead to war. They are
not only lurking in Europe. They
are everywhere in this seething caul-

1t would need prophet to
foretell how the international situa-
ton is likely to develop during the
next II months because nothing is
settled in the world today and there
are many explosive forces, racial and
economic pressures, which may break
forth suddenly.
All that is possible, apart from rash
prophecy, is study of the present
trend of affairs in the world today and
revealing of the difficulties and dan
gers as well as the hopeful signs
which mankind will behold more
clearly in 1927.
During the past year Europe has
done we'll in spite of her disappaint-
ments and delays. Peace spirit has
prevailed over war spirit and various
treaties like that of Locarno have
abated fear and hatred between ma
lions and especially between France
and Germany. Perhaps even more
important than this treaty making is
the beginning of economic understand
ing between France, Germany and
other nations to avoid cut-throat com.
petition and revive European trade.
This has not gone very far and the
United States may disregard all talk
of European boycott of American
trade. which is fantastic under pres.
ent conditions.
France Is Pacific.

psychological. 1t is an understand.

between industrial nations is likely to
be more profitable than political

Famous Painter Put
Heart Into His Work

In many respects the career of
Titan, the Venetian artist, is without
parallel in the history of art. The
span of his productive life is unprec-
edented. He lived to be ninety-nine
years old and painted steadily for
nearly seventy-ive years. This noted
painter apparently believed that no
amount of inspiration or intuitive
genius is a substitute for painstaking
labor. A contemporary wrote of him:
"He laid in his pictures with a
mass of colors which served him as
groundwork for what he wanted
to express. | myself have seen such
powerful strokes swept in by him
with solid pigment, sometimes with
pure terra rossa' cred Ocher)-and
this served him for the half-tones-
sometimes with a brush full of white
ped in red, black or yellow he picked
out the lights. In four strokes he
had sketched in a remarkably beauti-
full figure. Then he laid the picture
against the wall, and left it there,
often for several months, without
looking at it again, and when he
wanted to work at it he examined
it very critically as If it were his
mortal enemy, in order to discover
any possible faults. Then he took
away prominence here, set an arm
straight there, and got foot into the
right position. SO by degrees he
brought his figures to the most perfect
symmetry, and then he proceeded to
do the same with the next picture"

and many more volumes have been
written about Carson alone. AS has
been the case with so many other fig
can wilderness, a great mass of legend
has been added to the known facts
about his life and the dime novelists
have contributed their share to make
the truth about Kit Carson obscure.
Too often this quiet, modest little man
has been included in the general cate
CORY of Indian-killing, buckskin-clad
swashbucklers and the sensational
aspects Of his career have been so
played up as to cause most Americans
to lose sight of his historic impor-
lance
Fortunately for the memory of Car
son, the latest addition to the biograph-
ical material about him has been the
plain, unvarnished story of his life
as given by Carson himself to one OF
his closest friends some seventy years
ago. This is exit Carson's Own Story
of His Life" as it was dictated to Col.
and Mrs. D. c. Peters about 1861
and never before published until it
was brought to light by Miss Blanche
c.. Grant of Taos, n. NJ, who recently
edited it and published it at her own
expense.
The story of the manuscript, as
given in the book which Miss Grant
has published, is an interesting one in
itself. The story is as follows:
Col. Dewitt c. Peters, surgeon,
q. S. A, was a close friend and ad-
mirer Of Kit Carson, the great Taos
scout. He finally induced him to die
tate his life story. This was written
down, according to a son, Clinton Pc
tiers, during Carson's frequent visits
to the Peters family, who were sta
toned at "some fort near Taos" prob
ably Fort Union, and in the town of
Taos as we'll. In all probability most
of it was written down in the old adobe
house in Taos, now owned by the Ma
sons and called the Kit Carson house."
on the street leading eastward from
the Plaza toward the mountains
The original manuscript is for the
most part in the handwriting of Mrs
Peters, though at times the colonel
helped with the writing, probably in
the year 1857. Colonel Peters then
wrote his long Life and Adventures
OF Kit Carson" which was published
in 1858. Carson never read the book
as a whole, but read enough so he is
said to have remarked that Peters
laid 1T on leetle too thick"
This early manuscript was evidently
priced by the poets son, Theodore Pc
tiers, who took it to Paris, France
Here. after his death, about 1907, his
brother Clinton found the papers
among his brothers effects, while rum
maging around in cellar on Avenue
st. Ouen, Montmartre. Clinton Peters
brought the manuscript back to New
York and had two copies made The
original he sold to Edward e. Aver
for his famous Newberry library in
Chicago, Ill. The copies came into the
hands of Charles E. Camp Of Berkeley,
