Special Passes for Big Ship
m, inc New york Times

From the New I Ork Times.
 So great are the crowds of sightseers who want to isee the big ships of the Hamburg American line that the off cials have been obliged to restrict visi- tors to the largest vessels on sailing days to relatives and friends of passengers. To this end special passes are now in use for the Neterland.
 Four of these are issued to each pas senger on the sailing list, and no one is admitted to the vessel on sailing day without the special pass. Even so the crowd on board is always a big one.
 Sghtseers from the inland states have an opportunity to inspect the vessel while she is lying in port but no more can trey come down and struggle on with those who have come to speed the depart ing travellers.
 The same passes were used for the Im- perator while she was the newest and big gest ship, but after the veterland was put into commission the Imperator lost much of her attraction for tourists, and the number of visitors dwindled so that special passes on sailing days were no longer necessary. The requirement. has not been applied to any of the lines smaller vessels.

Influence of Automobile Making Reservations De Luxe of Red Mans Settlements-Now Welcomes the
 White Man as a Friend

The Indian reservations de luxe is how the north Wisconsin settlements will be designated within few years if the trend of the fads now prevalent in the reservations show consistent ad- vancement. says a Superior Wis. spe- cial to the New York World.
 The ultra modern Indian reservation will have it's braves driving their own autos about the streets. a fashionable "400" set
 How would that compare with the we'll known dirt and grime found in reservations of yore. where the squaws are the servants of their masculine partners, and where no civilized har- mony exists?
 Frank Soulier. one of the redskins from the Odanah reservation, now serving a seven months sentence at the Douglas county jail for introduce ing "firewater' into the Indian settle ment says that it really has "come to pass" and the fact that Indians on the Odanah reservation are the owners of their own buzz wagons is nothing extraordinary. Moreover Soulier gives a string of interesting 1actS cnaracter1Stlc Of the average American Indian in his twentieth century home life. and many other de- tails which give an insight into the fact diminishing government wards Sonlier says:
 There's several of us down or Odanah that can afford cars The truth is that every man. woman and child ny one of the wagons if he wants to--and provided the government agent don't step in and stop it." Indians All Are Joy Riders
 Soulier says that when the sjoy rid ing craze first struck the Odanah set clement several years ago the Indians were hard hit and immediately started negotiations to buy one of the auto: like the agent owned. Then and there | the proper restrictions regarding thu right to own a gasoline vehicle wer, forthcoming from the government agent.
 Here's how the Indians were allowed z an auto: Providing they were of suf ; fcient age and had the necessary wherewithal, the requirement. was only that liquor become taboo in the hab its of the lucky brave. The agree ments to this cause came back ant $ fast

 on the reservation now. and that next spring this number will be increased threefold
 They can't help themselves" he says. And the fact that mans neighbor is the owner of a car makes it compulsory for him to have one also"
 Joy riding got to be the craze. Of course, accidents were common at first and the would-be drivers got out and got under oftener than an auto tester in a factory does. Tires would blow out, you know. And when it came to the troublesome task of fixing up these blowouts the copper colored na- tive naturally baked. Hence the great upkeep expense.
 But soon all the difficulties were overcome. and MT. Rain-in- the Face drove his car about the reservation streets with as little concern any aristocrat. Now the horseless carriage takes the place of the fine quadruped, so long the apple in the Indians eye.
 Will Catch Up With the Whites
 The auto is but one change in the modern system of living of the In dians residing on government reserva- tions, Soulier declares. In every other United States aTe rapidly overtaking their more progressive American brothers. And they'll do 1t. too. be- fore long," Soulier proudly predicts. According to him the Indian of today is on the threshold between advance ment and total abandonment Unless radical changes are taken in the pres ent Indian statutes. he declares, the organization on the reservations will be shattered and the onward march of the white man will continue into the boun- daries now limited to the use of the American redskin.
 'The Indian no longer looks upon the paleface as an intruder or as a master. but instead. realizes ethe grea. good the citizens of the United States did in improving the conditions of the l original occupants of the western hem- l isphere." In this manner Soulier phi losophizes the relations of the two great races.
 One problem that never will be solved until nationwide action is taken on the question is that of In dian intemperanee. As long as there l Is drop of "frewater" within touch of the American Indian the incessant love of alcohol will remain. says Sou Her You could. take everything away from the redskin.' Soulier remark ed with sly twinkle in his eye, but he will still hunt for a flask of whisky | It seems to be second nature, and this one failing has been the source oi trouble between the government off cials and the natives
 1 Just what causes the Indian to love l strong drink is a mystery to Soulier

Vice President Marshall
 Rides On FirestOnes

Our national capitol is certainly a busy place in these days of European turmoil. Although Uncle Sam is keeping bravely out of the mix-up, it is necessary that our countrys executives be constantly on the alert to protect the nations commercial and diplomatic interests.
 Much of the burden of the country s affairs have fallen on the shoulders of Vice President Marshall. especially since the Presidents recent bereavement. One of the familiar sights on the boulevards of Washington is the big car belonging to Vice President Marshall

Car and tires are no doubt playing an important role In national history. al- though history will never record their services
 The motor car is becoming more and more a valuable adjunct In the nations affairs. Though arms may get the glory for victories in war. and arbitration or mediation get the credit for final peace, the motor car Is on the Job all over the world and rendering services that cannot be estimated.

He thinks it is because of the natural inclination toward adopting new cus- toms and also to the .undeniable in fluence of his white brother. The present regulations in regard to the traffic are not of any use, according to the prisoner. and only serve to in- crease the tendency toword violating the stringent statutes.
 Their Progress in Education
 Education has played an important role in developing the. latent talents of the redskin. and more children are enjoying the privileges of attending the higher Indian educational institu- tions this year than in all the former periods combined. Nineteen Odanah Indians left for the Indian Training School at Carlisle. Pa, last fall, and with an addition each year from now on, the attendance at the national school is expected to become even more representative of northern Wisconsin. The secondary schools on the Badger state reseryations are complete and of fer all the advantages of the modern city schools To say that the Indian fully appreciates the opportunity of fered to acquire additional Knowledge is mild indeed. Soulier announces. and each redskin youth fairly welcomes the day when the school opens Even the aged parents are strict in this regard and force their delinquent children to attend the schools regularly.

not see it. His gaze was attracted by
something which shone dimly white on
the walk just beyond the steps. He
ran to it. A crumpled letter, unad-
dressed. He carried it back to the
house, smoothed It out and read its
contents. Florence in her haste had
dropped the letter.

ran to Susan.

FeIton bowed respectfully and made
his exit. He wished in his soul that ne
might some day catch the master mind

iron hand which ruled them and there
were friends of his (Felton's) who had
mysteriously vanished after a brief
period Of rebellion. The boss was
swell; probably belonged to clubs and
society which he adroitly pilfered. The
organization always had money. When
ever there was a desperate job to be
undertaken, Vroon simply poured out
the money necessary to promote It.
Whenever Braine and Vroon became
engaged in earnest conversation they
talked Siav. Braine was never called
by name here; the boss, simply that.
Well, ten per cent of million was
hundred thousand. This would be
equally divided between the second
ten Of the Black Hundred. Another ten
per cent would 60 to so members; the
balance would be divided between
Vroon and the boss. But his soul re-
belled at being ordered about like so
much dirt under another mans feet.
He would take his ten thousand and
make the grand getaway.
The next afternoon the princess
called upon Florence. Nothing was
said about the adventure, and this fact
created a vague unrest in the schem-
ing woman's mind. She realized that
she must play her cards more care

must be permitted to enter the child's
head. Once that happened good-by to
the wonderful emeralds. Was 1t that
she really craved tie stone? Was it
not rather a venom acquired from the
knowledge that this child's mother had
won what she herself, with all her
cleyerness, was not sure of-Braine's
love? Did he really care for her or
was she only the catspaw to pluck his
hot chestputs from the fire?
