WAR EMBLEM IS
THE THUNDER BIRD
Custom Of Wearing Insignia BY
Soldiers Borders Upon Fetch.

More than 12,OOO,O 900 fighting men
in Europe are today wearing insignia
on their clothing or are being led to
victory or defeat by banners depicting
bird displayed in what Americans
would call spread-eagle style. The
troops that wave the Stars and Stripes
aloft have in the past and present been
led on by the counterfeit presentment
of an eagle with out-spreaded wings.
Seldom do those engaged in war or
mere onlookers ever give a thought to
what appears to be on consideration an
odd and relatively meaningless custom
that almost verges on fetch worship.
To be sure, ,one nation uses the painted
or embroidered efigy of an elephant on
its banners, another dragon. and so
on, but these nations are hardly civiliz-
ed in the higher sense.
Investigation of encyclopedia infor-
nation discloses no good reasons why
America, Germany and Russia should
place bird on their national emblems.
Some weeks ago the Carlisle Indian
School, following the footsteps of the
American Society of Indians, adopted
as the school emblem a thunder bird
The thunder bird was designed for the
school by Angel De Cora Deitz, the
greatest authority in the world on
Indian art. From Mrs. Deitz, who,
with her husband. William Lone Star
Deitz. is teaching art at the Carlisle
School, it has been learned that nearly
all the Indian tribes recognize a bird as
symbol of authority and social rank.
The artist, who is Winnebago Indian
of aristocratic lineage and who has
delved deeply into Indian legends, says
that the thunder bird or it's equivalent
in various forms has been mark of
distinction and authority probably for
many thousand years.
According to an accepted legend ages
had passed with all the spirits domino
ting land, water and air remaining on
relative equality. Ancient Indian
clans, for conveniences of recognition
and occupation, had associated them
selves with various patron spirits. The
story of the achievement of domination
by the thunder bird is tedious, but tells
how fatigued warrior of the thunder
bird clan lay exhausted at the edge of
precipice watching still waters far be-
low. His attention was attracted by
the disturbance of the limpid depths
from which the water spirit emerged to
meet the thunder bird in deadly con-
fiict. The observer is supposed to have
been the only human being who has
ever seen these spirits. AS one or the
other became exhausted they implored
the warriors for help with specious
pleas. Eventually he aided the thunder
bird, and the water spirit sank, never to
beIseen again.
Among the Indians the thunder bird
stands for authority, dignity, arbitra-
ton and, most important of all, peace.
There are many who believe that the
emblem of a bird with widespread
wings has been appropriated by the
Europeans from ancient America. If
SO. it is an unfortunate perversion that
makes the symbol of arbitration and
peace the banner which leads to war
and devastation.

Coenrad was one Of the hostages held
by Germans at the time OF firing. He
heard that other prominent citizens
were led around in the streets to read
German proclamations at forty or fifty
different places warning civilians
against shooting. Even while reading
these he heard Belgian shots contin-
uing. He highly praises the entire

DEFENSE OF THE
Open SHOP MADE
BY GENERAL OTIS
Los Angeles Publisher De-
clares That His Men Are
Better Off Than in Union
ICED Shops.

Los Angeles, Sept. S.--The open shop
policy was strongly defended before
the federal industrial relations COM
mission today by Harrison Gray Otis
publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
He testified that the general establish
ment of this plan of working would
better the condition of the laboring
men.
The publisher did not refer to the
dynamiting Of his office. He occupied
the witness stand only a short time,
promising to answer specific questions
in a written statement to the commits
sion later.
Mr.. Otis told in detail of his plan of
dealing with employees. He said he
came face to face with his men and
they "dickered like two men trading
horses"
When employees had grievances, he
testified, they came to him or their
foremen either individually or as a
committee and stated their cases.
William o. Thompson, counsel for the
commission, Intercepted the witness
closely on the question of who thus
became final judge of the merits of the
complains. Mr.. Otis replied that both
sides usually found a middle ground
on which to meet, but that his men left
his employ If they could not adjust
their differences with him.
Are your workmen better off than
they would be in an establishment
where a third party, or an arbitrator,
was called in to settle disputes?" Mr..
Thompson asked
nr1r or ~
are in any other establishment" Mr..
their own mouths. Our agreements
are based on mutual respect, tolera-
ton and good will"
Why Los Angeles Prospers.
F. i Zeehandelaar, secretary of the
Local Merchants and Manufacturers
association, said the prosperity of Los
Angeles is due to the open shop pol
icy for which his organization stands.
Whenever special police or deputy
ers' property, Zeehandelaar said, city
or county authorities are notified by
the association and men appointed and
the organization pays them.
The witness said he was requested
to go to Stockton and aid in the fight
against unions there and to send me-
chanics to that city but he refused the
requests. His organization, he ad
mitted. sought to influence legislation
by honest means. but maintained no
lobby. He declared worlkingfnen had
become so prosperous here under open
shop conditions that the available
bank deposits Of eighty per cent of
them is $408.
