they could not have possessed those

AS III FOhElGNEkS.
Milwaukee Free Press: For man
that knows about everything worth
repeating. Mr.. William E. Curtis, an
occasional correspondent of the Chi
cago Record. Herald, makes a pecu-
liar break in saying that almost in the
geographical center of the United
States-meaning in Indian territory

Chickasaws and Seminoles. It might
be said that to call the people of
these nations "foreign" is very good
but it is not. 1t is very bad. For If
there is any such thing as an Ameri.

American Indian. We wonder where
Curtis came from, and how long ago
it is since he-or his forebears-came.

the fighting in the Sea of Japan has
once more demonstrated.
