SIOUX CHIEF TALKS ID bOYSATA ALABAMA INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Red Fox Greatly Interested In Boy Scout Movement and What It Is Doing
 for Youth

Chief Red Fox, a full blooded Sioux Indian, gave the boys of the Alabama Industrial school treat in the form of a lecture on The History of the American Indian, Their Habits and Mode of Living" last night at o'clock. Red Fox is under the management of J. E. McGeorge, owner of several shows playing in the south. He charges no fee for his lectures to the boys in the various towns he visits, but speaks be- cause of his high regard for the Amer lean youth.
 He lectured to the Boy Scouts of Birmingham last Thursday on "The Art of Scout Craft As Practiced By the Indians" His talk was appreciated by the boys, who gave him a rising vote of thanks for his interest in them. Chief Red Fox is highly educated and widely read. He Is a graduate of Car lisle and Is considered an authority on American history.
 Nothing gives me more pleasure than to be among a group of fine. healthy boys. who are trying to learn the secret of the great forests" said Chief Red Fox last night. T am an ardent admirer of the American youth md his hobbies and pleasures in life are mine also. The movement of the Boy Scouts throughout all civilized na- tions Is one of the greatest things that has ever been started. A great many of the adults in this country have not realized what this movement has meant for the boy. It has made him feel as If he were a man instead of boy when an emergency arises 1t has taught him to be cool and level-headed in all places where danger turks. An opportunity, hitherto denied to a great many boys, to learn the art of wood craft has been opened to every youth who wishes to be taught how to take care of himself in the great outdoors"
 Every branch of the mode of living and the art of living right has been inaugurated in the Boy Scout move ment. It Is beyond a doubt one of the greatest things in the world for the boy. One would be interested to see how quick the American boy In particu- lar is to catch on to the art of wood craft. It is an ever wonderful problem to most of them to learn how easy it is to exist in the woods when one is properly equipped with the ancient Knowledge of the race of American h. 6ians.
 '"rhe feeling of interest that has been aroused in behalf on the Indian is thor oughly appreciated by my race of peo- pie. The tendency in the past was to rob the Indian and take advantage of his ignorance of the value of the American dollar, but now 1t is different. The United States government will not stand for the white man taking ad- vantage of an Indian in crooked trade. A great deal has been done and a great deal more should be done, and I confidently believe conditions will be improved gradually until every In- dian in this great land of ours will be satisfied.
 T like Birmingham and have been impressed with its apparent hustle and progressive spirit. l like a good live business town. and I feel as though l have reached one. I was here a few years ago. Upon reaching here on this visit I was agreeably surprised to see the great strides 1t had made during my absence.

REGULAR MEETING
 OF TRADES COUNCIL

The Birmingham Trades Council met in regular semi-monthly session today with large attendance of delegates
 Secretary Lewis Bowen of the Ala bama State Federation made a report of the work they were doing in Montgom- cry in the interest of constructive icgis- lation for the benefit of organized labor.
 The council went on record as being heartily in favor of the waterworks con- demnation bill, giving the people the op- ton of buying the plant in 1921.
 Also that they were opposed to the telephone rate bill, taking the power out of the hands of the local government and putting it in the hands of the railroad sorry education bill, how 1t would in time help solve the labor problems by siv- ing higher standard of education in our state. He said they were hopeful that the convict lease bill would pass the senate in the safe form that it had passed the house.
 Ne also reported that the semi-monthly pay day bill. for which the state fed eration had worked so earnestly and con- sistently, had been defeated in the son. ate by the very small majority of 16 to IS.
 A resolution was offered to the coun- cil protesting against the city making any new contracts with the Birninghan Railway, Light and Power company to furnish lights for the streets public buildings, parks or playgrounds Of the city: but urgently demanded that the municipal electric plant be enlarged suf- ficiently to provide lights for all of tho above mentioned streets. A committee was appointed to wait on the city com nissioners and take the matter up with them.

BRITISH ARMY CHIEF
 OF STAFF HAS HAD A
 WONDERFUL CAREER
{Continued from Page one)

officers of the army for instruction in the higher branches of war and gives the character to army organization in time of war
 Meantime he had kept on with his lan- guages. He knew French and German and he had studied the continental army systems. There seems to be general agreement that his improvement of the staff college marked an epoch.
 As director of military training at the war office he later had much to do with the preparation of the British expedi- tionary force. He went to France with it as quartermaster-g general who was re- sponslble for keeping that army overseas supplied His success in this capacity led to his appointment as chief of staff.
 Now all the branches of the army s activities are under his direction. It is his business to coordinate all and to amalgamate the forces of the new army which arrive with the old in homogene- ous organization up to the standard re- quired by present conditions of warfare. Despite his life of unremitting applica- tion he has few grey hairs at 52: and he gives the impression of the physical vigor and endurance which enables him to keep up the pace of IS hours hard work a day. Those who go Into his office know him as man of few words, a good listener. who sticks to the facts and never induIges in theories.
 'He does not hesitate to do away with red tape" said one of his assistants. ''The essential point with him Is to get the thing done. During the retreat from Mons we lost great deal of material. Among other things officers and men lost all their equipment even including their caps in some instances. As the government clothes and equips the men they could be cared for. But the officers pay for their own. They would have to fill out certain forms for reimbursement which would have to go to the war of fice-but Sir William settled that In . minute by giving orders that they should be supplied and we could take care of the red tape afterward. Throughout all the vicissitudes of the campaign from Mons to the Aisne and then to the Ypres -Armentieres line the soldiers never went short of food. Regardless of red tape and any other obstacles he saw that in some way or other their rations reached them. He is proud of the fact that he rose from the ranks and he dislikes publicity. His one supreme interest is his work. He likes work for work s sake"

Stands by Rule.

I'VE cannot do otherwise than accept
withdrawal of these men after learning
that they had violated one of our rules,
even though it was our belief that the
rule pertaining to summer base ball
has not been worded, construed or gen.
orally enforced in such a manner as to
effect the purposes of it's authors. |
assume that the expressed wish of Har-
ward graduates and undergraduates
that Yale should not allow these men
to withdraw from athletics can only be
based upon a similar belief, and | am
confident that Yale would be glad to
join with Harvard and Princeton in
amending the rule.
Harvard has in it's rules covering
summer base BALI a clause which per
mits your committee to exercise dis
cretion in the enforcement of the rule
by judging each case that may arise
on it's merits. Yale has had no such
clause and in this case we have there
fore had to choose between having
some of our own men feel that they are
called upon to suffer undeserved hard
ship Or of violating our understanding
with Harvard and Princeton as set
forth in our rules"
