Lipps, superintendent of the Carlisle

in making the Indians stick to their

Indians had to contend constantly
against trouble makers who tried to
make the government charges believe
they were untustly treated.

commissioner of Indian affairs, and
Jewell D. Martin. supervisor of the

of the Fort Belknap agency at Harlem,

or a majority Of them. have decided
to give Lord Derby's new scheme a
fair trial and to assist him In every
way to get the men to increase the

1t Is understood that the voluntary
system is receiving its last trial, and.
despite the opposition throughout the
country. those favoring national serv-
ice for all will endeavor to force its
adoption. should Lord Derby fail in his
efforts.
Lord Derby Outlines Plan.
Lord Derby, in addressing a mass
meeting at the Mansion House yester-
day afternoon, gave the gist Of the
plan with which he hopes to meet the
situation.
II suggest" he said, chat every man
who recognizes that the state has a
right to call on his services for her
those found physically At and wishing
to join the colors at once could do So
and the remainder continue at their
usual vacations. subject to call when
Unmarried and married men, Lord
Derby explained. would be put into re-
spective groups. and the bachelors
called first. Married men would be
called later, according to age. BY such
a system, he pointed out. there would
be no sudden, unmanageable number
of recruits, but steady supply as
needed by Lord Kitchener.
Some one had asked the speaker. he
said. why recruiting was an urgent
necessity. to which he replied: Look at
the map"
Lord Derby said that fortnight
would be allowed men who were called
to adjust their private affairs He hoped
that with a proper response 1t would
be unnecessary to call the older mar
ried men. in any event these elder
men would so far as practicable be
placed in the medical and transport
units.
This Is an honest attempt" declared
Lord Derby, ito give every man a
chance to do his duty-a last effort in
behalf of voluntary service. i believe
yet that the voluntary system can be
made an unqualified success, but there
Is no time to lose"
