Gen. Scott knows how TO do it. His
way is the way Of understanding and

CEN. SCOTT NEAR
LIMIT Of PATIENCE
WITH THE PIUTES
Failure to Effect Peace with
RebeIIiOuS indians, However,
Would Break Remarkable
Record of Great PaCifier.

WASHINGTON. March 10. - cen.
scott IS going again into the noun
tains. Al - years old. the brigadier.
who Is CHIEF Of stam of the United
States army and who is known as the
greatest Indian fighter i'm the service
and as q still greater Indian pacifier,
IS riding 40, so. GO mfies a day in
sledges, and on horseback, through
the snOW-blocked valleys and along
the Wtndswept crests of the Utah
Rockies, on one more errand of peace.
Weeks ago the leader Of a little
band of Piute Indians i'm Utah was in
Qlcted for murder. His tribe refused
TO give him up and retreated into the
wilderness muttering rebellion. Gen.
Scott rs the one man in America who.
the authorities believe, can make the
Piutes see the white mems reason.
So, out Of Morrison, Utah. early in
the week. Gen. Scott began his mission
or diplomacy The Indians were
somewhere in the ueighborhood of
Buffers canyon, but when he reached
Bluff they had gone on TO Douglass
Mesa, and yesterday he learned they
were near Medicine Hat. Indians
who won't talk before they fight get
scant courtesy from Gen. Scott. He
wired the authorities in Washington
yesterday that failure to meet them at
Medicine Hat would force him to
reQuisitiOn a cavalry company for the
pursuit
with his aid. Col Niche. posse
under Marshal Nebeker, two Indian
agents and some friendly Navajos TO
make camp Gen. Scott started on his
peace errand. So far as is known
their marching schedules have been
as follows: Tuesday, As miles; We'd
nesday. so miles: Thursday. 81 miles.
And there is a long way yet 10 90 TO
Medicine Hat
lie Usually Makes Peace.
If Gen. Scott does have 10 call out
the cavalry, il viii be something Of an
innovation. In his 80 years of serV-
ice he has gone on many such peace
missions. and he generally has come
back with guarantees of peace.
He has confronted tribes when
every face wore q scowl and every lip
trembled with hostile mutterings.

gave him the courtesy Of a nod But
always or nearly alwaH s, with a few
stately and graceful movements of his

He got to know now a man felt when
he made a certain sign, what there
was IN a motion of the hand that
made him laugh or swear.
He caught the spirit of the Indians;
SO that when the big chiefs and the
bold, naughty, demagOgic little out
laws pOwwOwed him, il was not like
watching a moving picture perform
ance or listening to a photograph, but
it was talking man to man." In
short, Gen. Scott had q way of under
standing what was in the back of the
Indian mind and of making clear to
the Indians what was in the back of
the white mans mind. About nine
times out of 10 this was all that was
needed to keep the peace.
Although there was more verbal
expostulation to it and less elaborate
gesture. the same thing worked with
the naughty and sensitive Cuban
caballeros during the Leonard Wood
regime OF 1898 to 1902, with the slylY
intriguing court of his majesty the
sultan of Sulu, and with the Mexican
Gems. Villa and Benjamin Hill in the
last two years. Gen. Scott has spent
the vastly greater part of his military
service in actually making" peace.
\ Real Soldier and "A Real Scholar.
Gen. Scott is a scholar and a gentle
man in an absolute sense Men who
know enough about the subject to say
who does know and who does not
know. say that he is the greatest liv-
