 Paris, April 8-(UP) - France made public today the sweeping plan for consolidation of European peace on which 1t bases its hope for new deal, and holds to be the sole tangible hope against enmities that must lead to war. A series of mu- tual assistance treaties and an in- ternational air, land and sea force to move speedily against an aggres- sor were it's chief features. 6tabili- zation of currencies and tariff al- terations were proposed as economic measures, and equality of rights in Colonial territories to countries that lack raw materials.
 The plan was made public after 1t was sent to Great Britain, Bel gium and Italy, as fellow signatories of the Locarno treaty which Ger many denounced in reoccupying the dimilitarized Rhineland zone. A copy was sent to the League of Ma tions, which would summon great international conference to consider the French plan as other nations agreed. In sending it's plan, the government sent also a memoran- dunn, addressed to Great Britain with copies to Belgium and Italy containing its observations on Adolf Hitler's peace plan of April l. The government in forwarding the peace plan called it one flor consolidation of European peace by development of collective security and mutual as- sistarce and reduction of arma- mentS.
 The plan is based on recognition by all European nations of equity of rights and equality of responsi-

Other outstanding accomplishments of the band include the hot trumpet play ing of the pint-sized Jimmy Blake, the spectacular piano play ing of "Nappy Gagnon" who pre- sents his own arrangement of "No- la" with his hands behind his back, and the very fine harmonius num- bers by the Glee club.
 The success of this band, needless to say, is due to the hard work and strict discipline of the baton wield- CT himself, Commodore Dan Mur- phy, real leader and 8 musical snowman who has the cooperation and support of the entire organ ization.

the spring. Then he begun looking for the
storage of the San Saba silver. But the map
and the land features wouldn't fit That pass
has got all sorts of crooks and hooks and
corners and little canyons running up from it.
Seco was a lot forwarder to hunt deer than bar
silver anyhow, I guess. After peering round
some he jest lost interest Still. he kept the
map.
He had a terrible big family, and the
older he got the more children he kept hav-
ing, it looked like. One of his third wife's
children was kind of afflicted, healthy enough
in the body but sick in the head. Her name
was Agatha, and about the time they settled
down in Olmos Pass she was around twelve
years old.
Some member of the family used to keep
watch on her most of the time, but, crazy
as she was, she seemed to know that rattle
snakes are dangerous and how to keep her
directions. They got 50 they jest let her mosey
around by herself. She'd be gone all day,
sometimes; but she'd come home about SUM-
down. She was always bringing in things.
Once she brung in one of them monstrous

base of cedar tree

surprised his ma by handing her fifteen silver
dollars and telling her he wanted her to 70
to San Antonio and buy herself some fxings.
That loco girl, when she seen the silver,
grabbed it and said, "Oh, brother, whered
you get this?"
He told her it was money he had earned.
Then she says, Il know where there's lots
of heavy stuff like that
Why" she goes on. Its piled up like
wood in pieces that long" Then she measures
with her hands about the length of old
timey silver bar.
Il tried to bring piece home once" she
says. but it was too heavy and dropped it
down in a crack"
Then all the family was at her to tell
where she'd found the silver.
Back there in the cedars," she says.
Its in a hole the badgers use, just big
enough for me to crawl into"
The next morning her brother took her out
to show him the pile of silver bars. But she
never could be made to fasten her mind on
locating the storage. She died years ago.
Now, not sane court in the world would
take the evidence of an idiot girl But here's
a piece of evidence any court would take.

the grcin though. and blood poison set in.
He knowed his light was about to 20 out
So he called for a dressed deerslsin and some
of the red ochre the Indians always kept
to paint themselves with. Then he drawed
a map of the Olmos Pass silver storage and
gave the details. He told the Lipan girl to give
the map and its history to certain priest at
the San Jose Mission in San Antonio and to
say Gregorio Valdez died praying. Then he
died.
l don't know why the map was never
properly delivered. don't know if the Lipans
ever looked for the silver storage or not.
l guess not. Anyhow, they didn't find it.
Time went on and the Lipans were still in
the country when Seoo Robinson went away
out there in that Bandera country ahead of
anybody else and settled He had a way of
getting along with the Indians, and some
times he'd buy stuff in San Antonio and trade
it to them.
He traded new Bowie knife for that
buckskin map and got its history as handed
down among the Lipans.
About this time the Lipans got killed off
and run out of the country into Old Mexico.

Well, the caravan set out from San Saba
hoping to get within the safety zone of the
San Antonio garrison, more'n hundred and
fifty mile away. 1t was a doomed march
from the beginning, but the Spaniards kept
shooting the Comanches back until they
reached Olmos Pass. That's up in what is
now Bandera County Here the caravan dis
covered itself surrounded
There was and still is a fine spring in
Olmos Pass. The Spaniards forted up the best
they could, and knowing the final showdown
had come, secured their silver Naturally,
being as it was 50 bulky, they didn't try
to dig hole. Them limestone hills are full
of caves and fissures and they found an
opening already made by nature, stored the
bars inside and covered the entrance.
Next morning the massacre begun. Over
one thousand warriors. The sixty-odd Span
iards had no chance
Comanches in them days didn't scalp 50
much as after they got to fighting Americans.
And they were not fighting for the treasure
at all. They knew where to get all the silver
they wanted.
Well, after the warriors had made clean
sweep and went away, one of the Spaniards
who had just been badly wounded and stunned
came to life. He was an oldish man. He
started crawling southeast. towards San
Antonio. still forty or fifty miles away The
third day he saw camp of Lipan Indians. He
recognized them and knew them to be friendly
and went in unto them. The daughter of the
chief was specially kind to him and nursed
