It seems that the general on his way to Ber-

question the emperor put was: rs this the

Niles career on the plains with more wonder
than they do his career in the war of secession
History has shown that some men lacking II
early military training can spring fullfedged init
warriorhood when the time offers. This has hel<
to be true. however, only of certain kinds of war
fare It was always supposed by the old reg
ulars that no soldier could make successful
Indian fighter until he had been for years on
the plains and had learned the ways of the
savage. Miles went through six great Indian
campaigns, and carried every one of them to
success. He was one of the greatest Indian
fighters of American history.
Not many years after the civil war the Chey-
ennes, the Arapahoes, the Kiowas and the Co
mancnes formed league and ratded the from.
tier. Miles went after them. It was his first
great Indian engagement. He completely
smashed the reds In a hard, driving, fighting
campaign. He did that which was prophesied
he could not do, and he did 1t 80 effectively
that these warlike plains Indians never again
took the warpath.
Later. Gen. Miles took up the trail of Sitting
Bull and Crazy Horse, with the Fifth infan.
try, and a few companies Of the Twenty-second
infantry. Crook and Terry had accomplished
comparatively nothing against the bands of
these chiefs, but Miles followed them relent-
lessly with his handful of men, fought them
victoriously time after time, and finally cap
tured 1000 of them and sent them into the
agencies.
1t was Gen. Mines who overcame the great.
est Indian general who ever fought west Of
the Mississippi river-Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces. 1t was Miles who broke the power OF
the Apaches, and It was Miles who made tho
Bannocks and the Minneconjous sue for peace.
This clerk who became soldier, battled for
peace on the frontier, and won his battle.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles loves gold braid and the
shiniest Of shiny gold buttons. Again, 1t is the
one weakness of great American soldier.

the United States, who has been In
Washington for several weeks in con

sion and will return to Mexico within

Senor Creel called at the White

bid goodby to President TAFT and

He declined to go into details, how

Senor Creels mission. One officer
said: "The attitude of the United

been changed one iota by the repre-

Several theories have been ad-

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.--The Standard
Oil company, through the Peoples
Gas company of Pittsburg, its princi-
pal gas company, is now planning to
pipe natural gas from the fields of
West Virginia and western Pennsyl-
vania into Greater New York, giving
the metropolis at so cents per 1000
feet the same fuel which has made
Pittsburg famous. Pittsburg now
pays 271a cents per 1000 feet.
The Standard figures on spending
S15,000,000 in piping gas over the
mountains and to New York. About
140 miles of the distance from Pitts
burg, including a path for a pipe line
over the Allegheny mountains, has
been staked out, and in most of the
towns along the way arrangements
have been made for franchises sup
plying gas to towns en- route, etc.
The Hope and Reserve natural gas
companies Of the Standard, which are
the main field companies, will pro-
duce most of the gas used In the big
mains to New York. Their holdings
are in West Virginia and western
Pennsylvania, and they have more
gas at the present time than can be
utilized.
That the Standard believes that in
a few decades the natural gas at the
western slope of the Allegheny noun
tains may give out, is shown by the
great care that is being exercised In
getting rights of way and making
other arrangements for what will be
the biggest gas highway in the world.
The line Is to be 50 constructed that
at any time, at trifling cost, 1t can
be turned into an oil-carrying line, for
It is figured that many more decades

mated in Pittsburg that the cost of
