INDIAN HAS
IRON CROSS
Former Redskin Scout Declares
He is the Only American
Having That Honor.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 15.-Qua-
nah Wa-Sho-Sha, high chief of all the
Comaches, hunter and trapper for the
last half century, ex-governmcnt scout
and the man who claims the distinc-
ton OF being the only American ever
decorated by the kaiser with the Ger
man iron cross, stopped in Oklahoma
City for brief visit with w. P. Camp
bell, Of the State Historical Society.
He has hit the homeward trail after
Fifty years of wandering which took
him around the world once on horse
Lack, across the continent OF North
America several times afoot, and
through countless adventures, OF
which he relates thrilling and roman
tic stories. He is now on the way to
his home, east of Fort Sill. where a
large number of Comanches live.
The chiefs American name is II.

better known throughout the whole
country as Buffalo Bill. was attain
ing glory. He is 73 years old and his
long hair, once raven black. is now
pure white. But the captain is still a
sturdy, hale old chap.
The chief expects to secure 10000
from the United States government, as
will n number OF other retired scouts
and consequently is not worried about
where the "wherewithal" is coming
from. Even II he were not to receive
this little fortune from Uncle Sam, the
chiefs nest is already nicely feathered
with this worlds goods. So he has
decided to step from the limelight.
1t was some fifteen years ago that
Chief Wa-Sho-Sha so impressed Kais-
or Wilhelm that the German ruler be-
slowed on him the historic iron cross,
But the occasion is still fresh in the
chiefs memory. as it was one of the
proudest moments of his life. He was
touring Europe with Buffalo Bill and
the wild West troupe and il was a
feat with rife that earned him the
German emperor's praise. While breez-
ing along on the back of a galloping
horse he would pick an apple from
the top OF his wife's head with a bull
let from a Winchester. The Indian
wife would do the same thing with the
chief. This stunt was patiently full
of danger that Buffalo Bill told the
performers they could discontinue It
and still receive their salaries. They
declined.
Chief Wa-Sho-Sha's feat of enclrcl-
ing the globe on horseback was ac-
cnmplished in a period of three wears
He started from Muskogee in 1910.
and returned to that city in 1913. He
gathered proof in various foreign coun-
tries, and none doubt that he actually
made the trip. During this voyage the
chief declares he was shot at sixteen
times. and that six attempts were
made to poison him. but he emerged
uninjured.
1t has been said there is nothing
in a name This may be true, SO
far as English and Americans are
concerned, nut the chief declares it's
different in Indian. The name eva
sho-Sha," i'll Comanche, means the
brave man. And the chief is NOT n
bit bashful or retiring about that
name.

The almost phenomenal strength
attained by William +. Hite as n SEN
atorial candidate, has proved the
source of surprise to his friends as
well as anxiety to his enemies. 1t
was believed in the beginning that,
while he would be invincible in the
counties near his home, to whose
people he was well known, 1t was
thought by many that he would find
1t hard to rally formidable support
in the counties in the northern and
central sections Of the state. The
outcome, however. Is vastly different
from those early predictions.
Mr.. Hite offered new name and
a new face-he propounded person
al and political principles which were
so fitting to the needs OF the time 40
to be irresistible. A business man,
identified with representative indus
tries; Republican thoroughly we'd
ded to Republican principles. with
out being a politician in the accepted
sense; genial personality, extreme
popularity wherever known and pos
sessed of the gift of making friends
wherever he unprecedented are the
qualities which have put the Hite
candidacy ahead, and which are re-
sponsible for the fact that he is now
far in the lead in the race for the
nomination. He is drawing his sup
port from all elements of the party
from administration and anti-admin-
istration. inasfar as anti-adminlstra-
ton sentiment may be said to exist
at this time: from progressive Re-
publican and Old-line Republican
alike. He is in a position to bring
to the party degree of strength and
unity which no other candidate can
bring.
Recognition OF the conditions
which surround his candidacy and
the sterling qualities OF the candl-
date are responsible for the remark
able strength Mr.. Hite now pos
sesses.

A Wilson Bogey Man.

The president has not yet furnished
the public with any details of the sim
lister conspiracy which he has solemn
ly declared to exist for the purpose Of
provoking war with Mexico. Sufficient
time has elapsed since the making Of
this declaration for the elaboration
Of the story-and certainly the demand
for a bill or particulars has arisen
loudly enough and in places OF suffic
lent importance 10 warrant attention.
Yet the president remains silent AS
in the case two years ago when he
denounced the insidious lobby which
he said was trying to hamper the pas
sage Of the tariff law. and in the later
instance when he said that he had Sc
cured his information regarding Mex
leo from liars" the president rests
upon his original assertion and re-
fuses to particularize.
The result OF this is two fold. In
the first place many innocent persons
are placed under an unjust suspicion.
And, secondly, the reaction upon the
presidents sense Of judgment is most
severe. The country is beginning to
realize that the president is accus-
toned to making unsubstantiated as
sertions in order to divert attention
from his own shortcomings. He has
never yet been able or willing to pro-
duce any specific evidence in any OF
the cases which we have cited. He
has issued wholesale denunciation and
there rested his case. Happily the
people are no longer in the habit OF
regarding the fulminations OF the
White House as thus saith the
Lord They are looking for chapter
and verse. These have not been forth
coming. The president has shown
himself an adept at fashioning DOGGY
men-but they frighten nobody.

The things we must undo tomorrow
Madly the fiery steeds dashed on
wards.
Sparks of fire few from their hoofs,
their wide nostrlls snorted and their
eyes blazed.
But our hero chung on. with COM
pressed lips but firm heart, resolved
to die beneath the great wheels e'er
he would desert his mission.
The horses gathered momentum,
their steaming TANKS heaved. their
names and tails few to the breeze.
And still our hero held tight.
Many eyes were on him: rather
would he die thousand deaths than
fail now.
All! At last the horses are slowing,
at last they stop,
With one skillful motion our hero
seized a chip of ice and jumped from
the rear step OF the wagon.
And, with the magnanimity of all
true heroes, he gave each of the other
kids a bite.

CANADAPATRI0TIC
Recruiting More Than Can Be
Used, Says Shaughnessy.
"Army" of 10000 Sought to
Seed Western Farms.

Montreal, March 11.-Lord Shaugh-
messy, president of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway company, is opposed to
the plan of Sir Robert Borden, the
Canadian premier, to raise the Cana
dian contingent in the European war
to 100000 men.
Addressing a meeting of business
and military leaders here yesterday
Lord ShaughneSsy said he did not re-
gard the plan as practicable and that
if Canada would attempt to raise
225,OO0 men in addition to it's present
army it would cause a serious draft
upon the working population. He an
ment has asked the aid of the Cana
dian Pacific in taking 10000 farmers
to the western provinces for seeding
and harvesting work.
Lord ShaughneSSy advised that
Canada go slow with recruiting, say
ing that some of the first Canadian
contingent are still in camp in Eng
land, that 10000 men, rep
resenting an outlay of probably $12,-
900, 900 a month, are still in Canada
with no prospect of being moved to
Europe for a long time. He said it
would have been better to have gone
more slowly and saved 100000 a
month for use hereafter.
The meeting adopted a resolution
approving the effort to recruit men in
Montreal and calling upon employers
to encourage their employees to enlist.
A resolution offered by Leo Doyon,
a French Canadian, that no action
would be taken to accelerate Canada's
share in the war was lost in a storm

VAST new EMPIRE
Kaiser Has Designs on All
Central Europe.
Would Unite Nine Nations
Under German Rule.

Paris, March 1.-THE kaiser plans
to establish a powerful confederation
of central and near eastern European
states. He seeks to bring 100000
Austrians, Hungarians, Serbians, Ru-
manians, Bulgarians, Montenegrins,
Turks and Greeks under German dom
ination.
This is the opinion of Professor
Masaryk, former Bohemian leader in
the Austrian Reichstrath, who es-
capped from Austria at the beginning
of the war and has spent his time
since in France and England. the soul
of the movement to restore Bohemia s
/ independence. He discussed the situa-
ton recently with Premier BRAND and
was encouraged by the premier to per-
severe in his efforts to free his coun-
try from Hapsburg rule.
! The Surest way to prevent realiZa-
ton of the pan-German dream is to
upset the Hapsburg dynasty, Professor
Masaryk says. Otherwise, he asserted
even after Germany has been beaten,

views it, is Austria Hungary.

( Germany, as some imagine, but pan
Germanism is gaining ground at Buda-
pest as well as Vienna, the professor
insists.
But if Austria Hungary should be
eliminated as national entity, it has
been suggested to the Bohemian
leader, would not Germany necessarily
add the Austrian Germans to her own
citizens, thereby gaining strength by
about 10000 population?
/ Yes, of course, agreed the professor
but that would be better than at pres
ent, for now, with the Hapsburgs
help, Berlin's rule extends indirectly
over 100000 Austro- Hungarian
subjects.
Austria's destruction would not
mean destruction of the nations OF
which Austria is composed, adds the
professor, nor would the Hapsbure
dynasty's overthrow necessarily NEAR
that these nations could not constitute
a federation, but if such a federation
is to exist, it ought not to be under
Germany's wing but under the wing OF
the allies.

CUT SCHOOL EXPENSES
Educator Laments England's Attempt
to Trim School Fund So 100000

London, March lit is absurd to
talk about capturing German trade
and meeting foreign competition after
the war when so much harm is now
done to the British elementary schools
in the name of public economy, de-
clared T. Gautrey, secretary of the
London Teachers association in n re-
cent interview.
Education is being raided because
it is sc easy to do it," he said, but
those who are doing it have no vision
for the future welfare of the empire,
which must rest first on national cf-
ficiancy. A sound elementary eduea-
tion is the base on which all forms
OF higher education must be built,
especially those of a more pracucal
character than are now supplied"
The war savings committee of the
London county council has instructed
the education committee to effect a
saving of $2,0O0,0O0 in the coming
fiscal year beginning April :. This
also means the stoppage of all build
irg projects, which in normal times
amounts to at least $2,500,000. The
country would thus save S4,500,000 on
education the next school year.
Mr.. Gautrey says it is not shown
how this saving would aid the war,
and implies that it only eases the bur
den of the taxpayerS.

the latter in opposite directions, SO
that the chain is tautened. The chain,
thus held stretched by the weights,
and retaining the original impetus Civ
en- by the gun in firing the projectile,
tears it's way through the entangle-
ments and rends them literally to
pieces.
Ships Would Commit Suicide.
Another important device being con-
sidered is a torpedo steered by wire
less telephony. the deadly impetus of
which is directed by sounds emanating
from the vessel to be destroyed itself.
1t is designed to accomplish the in
voluntary suicide not only of battle
ships, but of submarines By means
of sound waves emanating from ap-
preaching vessels the torpedo will,
says the inventor in his patent appli-
cation. without control automatically
steer itself toward the ship that is to
be destroyed, and even change its
course with the movement of said
ship" Even if brought to a halt for
any reason it starts again as soon as a
ship comes within its radius of action
and steers toward it to destroy it.
This torpedo may be used as a mine
if desired, being provided with a spe-
cial mooring device so arranged that
the torpedo automatically disengages
itself as soon as a vessel enters its
sphere OF action, WhereupOn it starts
off and steers straight for the ship.
On the front end of the torpedo is
series of small telephone receivers
more properly described as micro
phones-which are sensitive to sound
vibrations in water These receivers
are connected. severally and respec-
| lively, with devices inside the tor
pedo for steering, propulsion and SO
on. Thus two of them steer and
steel fish vertically-one up and the
other down-and two horizontally.

Electro magnets and clockwork
inside the torpedo so operate in re-
Spouse to the vibrations communi-
Gated through the microphones as tc
steer it and even start an internal
ombustion engine or set off a charge
of high explosive at the proper mo-
ment. The torpedo moves always in
the direction of the object from which
the emerging sound proceeds-par-
ticularly toward the propellers of a
steamship, which are the most vulner-
able and important part of such q
vessel. With her propellers smashed
( a battleship would be helpless.
Another interesting device is ar
/ "anesthetic" submarine invented by
| Carl NJ. Wheaton of Newton, Mass
The submarine is provided with q
novel kind of a gun, mounted YER
tically, so as to shoot a projectile
! from beneath into the bottom of q
ship that is attacked. The projectile
is hollow, and through it an anes-
thetic gas is poured into the vessel
putting the crew to sleep.
