Use Carefully Considered.

Il is positively known that some time
sefore the present administration came
into power the use of dictagraphs in the
Secretary's office was carefully consid-
cred and that orders We're given TO in
stall them. 1t is said by inside sources
in the. Treasury that the installations
We're made.
The same authority today would not
say whether the dictagraphs had been
kept in place by Secretary McAdoo and
the present administration. but his opin-
ion was that they are still in use.
Until the dictagraph came into such
easy use, Secretaries of the Treasury
generally kept right under their desks
and within easy reach of their right

ALL INDIANS REPORTED
PLEDGED TO THE FLAG
Dr.. Joseph K. Dixon Reports
to President Wilson Result ;.
of Expeditions.

That every Indian in the United States
has now sworn allegiance to the Anferi-
can flag was the report made to President
Wilson today by DIR. Joseph Kossuth
Dixon, who has just returned from the
last of three expeditions among the In
dians. The trips We're made under what
is known as the Rodman Wanamaker ex
pedition.
When Dr. Dixon left Washington. six
months ago he carried with him phono-
graphic records containing messages TO
the Indians from President Wilson. Sec
retary Lane and ROdman Wanamaker.
Around the campf1res of the Indians the
sung and on the following morning the
American flag after being kissed by the
chief was hoisted above the camp.
According to DR.. Dixon the expedi-
tions We're made with the idea of in
stilling into the Indian mind a notion
of patriotism that would lead him to
aspire to civilization.
Influence of the Flag.
A secondary object was TO secure
signatures by pen and thumb mark of
every Indian tribe to the declaration OF
allegiance.
The influence of the flag" states Dr.
Dixon, has prepared the red man to
unite with the white man in a com
mOnts purpose, common aims, common
aspirations. He realizes now for the
first time that he Is part OF the
great country which was once his own,
but was taken away from him. He
realizes now for the first time that the
white man is sincere in his friendship
and spirit of brotherhood and thus the:
expedition has changed the destiny of
a whole race of people. One of the
five great races of the world faces d
new morning. The American Indian
