INDIANS IN THE ARMY.
Their Enlistment Apt to Solve the
Indian Problem.

Their Enlistment Apt to Solve the
Indian Problem.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Reports received
at the war department of the operations of
the officers who are trying to secure the
enlistment of Indians in the regular army
are full of encouragement, and the doubt
full feeling entertained when the project
was first undertaken has vanished.
Already three troops composed of In
dians have been recruited, including one
made up Of Geronimo's Apaches, now at
Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, and the
others will soon be organized. The results
of this undertaking are, it is said at the
war department, likely to be more benef-
cial than was expected, and some
officers predict that the whole In
peacefully and finally settled as an outcome
of the policy that secures the enlistment
in the army of a large number Of young
bucks who have heretofore been led into
trouble through sheer idleness and lack of
proper incentives to work.
ANOTHER GOOD EFFECT
So, too, the new policy is having a
secondary and beneficial effect upon the
Indian schools. 1t has been a common
complaint that the Indian children, after
going through the industrial schools, find
10 opening for active work when
they return to their tribes. Ad-
jutant General Kelton says that the
army is now likely to give employment
to all of the graduates that the Indian
schools are likely to turn out There is
room In the army for them and they will
oe recuited to serve as company cooks, post
bakers, troop blacksmiths, musicians and in
other places where the technical education
received by them at the schools can be given
scope with benefit to the Indians and the
army

[Cheersl The working classes must have
their eight-hour dav. August Delaher also
denounced the capitalists. Other speakers
followed ia tho same vein that an
eight-hour day should be decreed
by statute and that the economic struggle
should be reinforced by political action to
secure such legislation, and that they were
not to lose sight Of the ultimate aim of the
proletarian movement, the abolition of
wages slavery. and urge all wage workers
TO rally under the socialist labor party to
bring about that final change.
