SOCIAL ORDWAY
CENTERS in TENT
Many Soldiers Attend Y. M
{. A. Entertainments and
Avail Themselves of
Other Privileges.

The Y. M. c. A. tent at Camp Ordway
is the center of the recreative life of the
camp. Every militiaman in the camp
has used the tent frequently, either tc
write a letter to the folks at home or
to while away the free hours.
Nearly every night there is some en-
tertainment furnished for the soldiers
on the camp-made stage, in one end of
the tent, and II there is no set perform
ance, several OF the men will either play
the plano or give some other impromptu
performance.
Chaplain A. l.. Smith. secretary OF the
tent, is the man who sits behind the desk
and hands out letter paper and sells
postage stamps. He is the man who sees
that the ever ringing telephones are
answered. and that mother or sweet
heart gets a chance to talk to her sold
ier. The usual procedure is to take the
callers telephone number, and send an
orderly to find the soldier wanted.
All the entertainments and stunts in
the tent are planned by Chaplain Smith.
He even sleeps next to the big top al
though he Is entitled to A tent in the
Third Infantry officers row as he ranks
as a lieutenant.
George Bell. Y NJ c. A. worker, of
Washington, has been assisting Chaplain
Smith in his work every day, while other
workers have given aid at intervals.
Il don't know what the men would
have done without the tent during the
weeks of waiting" said Chaplain Smith
About $50 of them use the tent each day
to write and chat in. We have had an
average OF four entertainments a week
with religious services on Sunday. Since
the tent opened over 1900 printed sheets
of paper and envelopes have been used by
the men, and the sale of postage stamps
average 81 a day"
Chaplain Smith also serves as a receiv-
ing teller for any bank in Washington in
which the men may wish to deposit
money. He has arranged so that those
men who wish can allot a certain part
of their pay and have il either deposited
or sent to their families at home without
ever handling the actual money. At least
a hundred men have deposited about 500
through Chaplain Smith.
When the troops get TO Bisbee Cha Ain
Smith intends opening a school for those
soldiers who cannot speak read or write
English proficiently. There are a number
of men in the ranks who are OF foreign
birth and have not been in the country
long.
The Y. NJ. c. A. tent 10 in the center Of
the white light district of Camp Ordway.
The canteen, with it's store OF candies,
soft drinks and cakes, is near by and the
movies are shown each evening so near
that they can be seen from the tent.

Indians DEMAND
Big Land TRACT
Catawba Tribe Claims l64,-
900 Acres Leased 100
Years Ago.

What is said to be the most unique
Indian land case that has been looked
into in many years Is that which Lorenzo
Medlfn, an attorney of Rockingham, N.
C., is investigating in the government
Land Office.
The case for which MedIn has come
to washington involves, he says, about
$4,000 acres of the choicest land in South
Carolina. And il is because the title
cloud on this land involves hundreds Of
citizens of South Carolina, that Medlin
has poured his energy during the past
week looking up the records of Indian
titles. deeds and grants. Medlin tells
the following story:
The whole case is question of who s
who and why 1t seems that when the
white men first came to South Carolina
they found the Catawba tribe of Indians
living on a stretch OF land that included
the present county Of Catawba and ex-
tended to the North Carolina boundary.
The land was never definitely bounded.
however. There is absolutely no record
Of any kind to be found tnat proves that
this tribe of Indians ever entered into
treaty relations with the United States
government The only record OF any
kind is to the effect that the English
crown some years before the American
Revolution. made some sort of boundary
for the Indians. which. however, did not
seem to change thlngS muCn.
Tribe still independents.
The most unique phase of this tribe
is that the PTimevaT order Of government
still exists And it is one of the very
few Indian reservations in all America
which are entirely independent. This
tribe does not pay taxes to the United
States government so far as it has been
ascertained.
However the tribe is a pCaCe-lOvinE
and Industrious people. In fact, they
have been recognized as an independent
government.
About 100 years ago these Catawba In
dians leased to the State of South Caro-
lima a tract Of land of about $4,000
acres for annual rental. The lease was
for a period OF % years. The Indians
only retained enough land for reser'
vation.
It was not long thereafter when the
state of South Carolina made sub-leases
Of the land to individuals, who took VI
he tracts provided by the State and de-
velopcd the land into rich and fertile
fields and farms.
Indians Demand settlement.
The 99-year period is now up. And. tC
make A long story short, the Indians
either want the land back or else COM
plete settlement.
These are the facts as Mr.. Mtdltn
tells them. He represents the Indians
as attorney. and has come to Washing
ton to make a careful study of the In
dian records and deeds and leases. He
may arsO confer with specialists on the
matter.
Now that the people have made hnt
homes Of the land thus sub-leased, they
are loath to get off. And because a very
accurate record seems not to have beer
kept Of the Indian negotiations regarding
the land leases. the people are ready tC
question the rights Of the Indians in the
matter.

Helen realized that the man beside
her was not Warren.
strange shoulders brushed against
her. The crowd was carrying her
on. Panicstricken, she pushed her
way back. She must stay at the
same place-or he would never find
her.
As the seconds passed and the
mass of strange faces moved by, she
held her breath with a paralyzing
fear To the horror of being alone
in this rough Saturday-night mob
was the terrifying thought that she
had no money.
Though Warren had repeatedly
warned her never to be without car

from soiling the lining with loose

corner, her frantic gaze sweeping
the sea of straw hats all so battling

HAUBER DEFEATS HIRST
IN BROADWAY'S FINAL
Fairmount Fighter Surprises Clever
Opponent in Six Rounds

Joe Hrst Southwark welterweight
and his friends are very much surprised
today over the victory scored by Henry
Hauber, who had been on the sidelnes
since Marty Farrell knocked him out, In
the star bout at the Broadway Club last
night.
The Falrmount fighter earned a big
lead in the first two rounds, when he
carried the milling to Hirst and forced
the latter to break ground continually.
Joe got going in the third and fourth,
but his light jabs hardly compared with
the vicious swings landed by Hen
In the two final rounds Hauber sailed
right in, swinging out with both left
and right. Few of the blows landed. but
when one would find n resting place on
Hirst's jaw the latter would almost dance
out of the ropes.
The referee stopped the semiwind-up
between frankie O'Neil and Johnny Nc
Loughlin In the fourth round. as Nc
Loughlin was receiving beating.
In the other bouts, Reddy Bell stopped
Tommy Cranston in three rounds. Pete
Kelly succumbed to Johnny Rays
punches in three rounds while Mickey
Mckay hung over right on Jimmy
Mackin's jaw in the third session, which
put the latter to sleep.

aou6les team from this city will be that
Of George II. Brooke and Joseph w.
