SENATE VIEWS AND GERU1N
TTETN

The publication of the reasons of GER
tain Senator's for wishing to modify the
pending arbitration treaties is stimuli
taneous with the disclosure of Germany's
desire TO make a similar treaty with
this country. The former utterance will
receive the careful attention which it
deserves. There is. however. nothing in
it which has not already been surmiscd
and discussed The only really essential
point. il seems To us, is the technical one
Of the legality or constitutiOnality Of such
a delegation OF power by the Senate as
appears TO be suggested In the single
provision that a commission, in the
creation of which the Senate has taken
due part, shall determine the arbitra-
bility Of a disputed question. That
point we have already discussed.
There is nothing surprising, but much
that is gratifying and instructive, in the
desire ONGermany to enter into similar
treaty relations with this country. There
were limitations of il long ago, and
indeed from the beginning il has seemed
exceedingly probable that not only Ger
many but practically all other important
powers would follow that course. The
circumstance is a fine refutation Of the
foolish charge that the treaty is pri-
vate compact between Great Britain and
America. designed for the benefit and
protection OF the former. The fact is
that this country is equally DESTROYS Of
relations Of peace based upon justice
with all well disposed nations, and that
IL will welcome the making OF such
treaty with Germany no less cordially
than with Great Britain or France. 1t
seeks such relations as a means of guar
anteeing peace. and not as AN alliance
or political intrigue.
The German Interpretation OF the
treaty and Of the functions Of the United
States Senate under it is particularly
worthy of note at this time, when some
Senators assume to regard the instru-
ment as an infringement upon their

ONCE A SQUAW ALWAYS ONE
No Other Future for an Indian Girl
Says Educated Ponca Maid.

Kansas City. Aug. 15.-To be a sQuaw is
the only future in store for an Indian girl
educated in the latest methods of civiliza-
ton, according to a statement by Miss
Maggie Mitchell. who was here last night
with party OF Ponca Indians, of which
tribe she is member. White Eagle chief
OF the tribe and who takes his name from
the home of the Indians-White Eagle.
Okla.-and thirty other Indians were in the
party with Miss Mitchell. They were on
their way home from Walthill, Neb., where
every year the Indian tribes gather.
Miss Mitchell has been a student at Has-
kell Institute, at Lawrence Kan. for FIVE
years, and was the only one OF the Indians
dressed IN the garb of civilization.
When asked what she had planned for
her future, she replied: II hate TO think
of the time when ! must leave Haskell for
good. or course, / must go back 10 the
reservation. My father is still alive. and &c
would be cruel to desert him. / must 20
back to the tepee and the blanket, and then
1t will be only question OF time when my
father persuades me 10 marry. l shall be
just squaw. I am sorry now that ever
went 10 Haskell. for my life will be con-
tinual looking backward"

rights and duties. The German view OF
X is that 1t does not bind the United
States absolutely TO submit any given
case TO arbitration, but leaves each in.
diyidual case to the Senate, to be sub
United or withheld at its pleasure. That
as we have said, seems to us just in
depreciation, since it Is certainly pre-
scribed with unmistakable directness and
explicitness that the arbtrabilty of each
and every case shall be investigated
considered and determined by a commits
sion in the composition of which the
Senate is effectively represented; and
il may logically be held that what the
Senate does through its own chosen
agent It does itself. There is food for
reflection in the circumstance that the
very feature of the treaty which some
persons here affect TO regard as depriv'
ing the Senate of its essential power is
regarded by Germany us investing the
Senate with too great power, or at least
with power so great that some counter
poise will have to be devised on the
German side
1T is earnestly TO be hoped that the
disclosure of German desires and views
which is being made will serve useful
purpose in correcting misapprehensions
in America. 1t should be profitable for
us thus to see our treaty as others see
It. And the net and pretty direct result
should be TO dispel the unfounded dis
trust and antagonism which a few Amer
leans seem to feel toward the treaty, and
thus to assure its ratification. 1t is
no longer a mere question Of arbitration
between America on the one hand and
Great Britain and France on the other
but rather between this country and al
other great powers, and probably in
turn among those powers, since two
powers which are willing to arbitratt
with a third power are likely before LONG
to be willing to arbitrate with each
other

Organization at Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 15-Colonel Roosevelt IS

in honor of St Rocco. on next Thursday
and Friday. He has been asked by tho
Italians in charge Of the celebration TO &C

sented Colonel Roosevelt is expected to

celebration saying:
II will give me pleasure TO serve as hon.

ment neither possesses nor would be IN

the French government unhesitatingly
employs in such cases The Labor party

of Commons. 1t does not yet hold the
balance of power between the two great
parties. but it is not unlikely to in the
near future. and it has already given an
earnest of what it may do when it has
the ability.
What is most Ominous and Significant
is that this increasing social menace Is
concurrent with the granting OF in
creased benefits to the workingmen ana
to their organizations. Judicial deci-
siOns have been annulled by act of Par
lament at the demand Of trade unions;
old age pensions. to which the benencl-
aries are not required TO contribute
have been established. and these have
been followed by schemes of insurance
against illness and idleness. Yet either
these measures of relief do not bring
prosperity or prosperity does not bring
coptentment, and the United Kingdom
seems to confront one of the most serl'
GUS labor problems in its history.

SISTERS UNDER THEIR SKINS.

A sad complaint is that of Miss
Maggie Mitchell Il Ponca Indian girl,
who is student at the Haskell lnsti-
tute. in Lawrence, Kan. Miss Mitchell
has come into contact with civilization
and wears its clothes, but when she
leaves Haskell the NasSar or Bryn
Mawr Of her race, there will be nothing
for her to do but go back TO the tepee
and the blanket" Beyond the tepee and
the blanket lies the inevitable fate, mar
rage. II shall be nothing but squaw."

sorry that she has received an educa-

Of civilization, but she talks its Ian

A NICARAGUAN INVESTIGATION
Citizen of that Country Thinks Senate
Committee Should Be Appointed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are several representative
Ncara guans just arrived for a visit North
bringing along our children to leave in the
care of your schools. the same as our
fathers have done before us. There are
probably five hundred Nicaraguans alive
to-day who have received their education
I'm your schools We keep in touch with
affairs here, and your paper is read "
many Of us.
The shooting of an American sailor from
your gunboat Vicksburg at Corinto the
early part OF this month and his untimely
death were most unfortunate. The Mica
raguan soldier who did the shooting was
courtmartialled and shot. We cannot ex-
press our sad feelings over the matter. AT
the same time we all feel very indignant
over the United States government keeping
gunboats at the Atlantic and Pacific ports
OF our country, with their big guns trained
on our towns.
The revolution in Nicaragua has actually
been over since Zelaya left, and we have
had two presidents since then without
shot being fired Over seven months Of
prosperity in our land, no war talk no
one TO fight, no money or ammunition to
fight with, and still the American gunboats
hug our Atlantic and Pacific shores and
keep up our anxiety. The country is calm,
the farms are raising their usual crops, and
every one is at work except the politicians.
who are busy building air castles with
money they expect from a loan.
Before Congress adjourns will not some
one advocate the sending OF committee
10 investigate the requirements Of our coun-
try before making a treaty? I am sure
If such a committee would take testimony
In the capitals of Nicaragua and Honduras
they would be convinced that we first OF
all require to be left alone, and then TO
hold an election by the people of Presi-
dent who represents the country and the
people. Such a committee of Senators
would be received cordially and would learn
about our finances and our ability to meet
a bond issue 1t is a serious question and
should not be settled in a hurry. l speak
for 90 per cent OF our people

the attempt was dealt with vigorously

Kingdom.
The menace is greater there, because
Of the character and situation of the
country. The United Kingdom is not

more dependent upon the continuous
