ROCKY BOY RED
MEN GET FARMS
HEART OF ASSINNIBOINE RES
ERVATION Is THEIR
FUTURE HOME,
Have Been Driven From Pillar to Post
Since They Wandered Across Cana
dian Border; Will Have Whites as
Neighbors.

The stony pathway OF the Rocky
Boy Indians has at last led to the
green sward. Driven about from pil
lar to post ever since they wandered
across the Canadian boundar,
throug Glacier National park seven
years ago as tramp tribesmen Of the
Cree nation, this band of 300 red
men has had hard lot.
Now, with the opening of the Fort
Asslnniboine military reservation, en-
bracing 100000 acres, near Havre
the United States government will set
aside $1,000 acres for them. They are
rejoicing in the fact that they are to
have permanent home.
There are about $4,000 acres of till
able land in this tract, and this is to
be thrown open to white settlers. The

KILKENNY
CAT METHOD.

It is suggested that while the Ger
mans and the British. are making
their claims and their counter-claims
of victory in the great North Sea
battle, the United Sts.cs can view the
outcome with equanimity and as a
direct result the rise of our own
Navy in the scale of relative strength.
The United States Navy today is
stronger by reason of the twenty
or thirty ships that went down in
the North Sea battle. If the foemen
are determined to carry the issue OF
their respective claims to control
of the seas to the ultimate, they will
meet again in combat even more fer
ce than the Skagerak battle and
with even greater numbers of ships
engaged and severer losses.
The result will be the killing off
Of one OF the other fleet and the Grip
ping of the victor. By this Kilkenny
cat method of winning sea laurels
the United States would find itself
boosted perhaps even to the first
rank as a sea power without being
under the necessity Of building a
single additional ship. SO that from
a purely cold-bloodcd and selfish
point of view the sooner the Ger
man and the British fleets get to-
gether again the more comfortable
will the United States be after the
war. For an arrogant sovereign OF
the sea would entail immense costs
to this country in order to hold up
it's end and to insure its full rights
of commerce. 1t may be that the
preparedness program will not have
to be so heroic through the reduc-
ton of the menace of foreign fleets.
by the process of sea battles and
disputed victories.

LATEST JOKE I
on ARfSPOGRAeY4

y z Z. b
A cotemporary suggests that the
irony Of fate WAS never better il.
Illustrated than by the fact. That the
British monarchy aud the British; arts
tocraey are now apparently Deepen
dent for military success upon an ex-
stable boy and ex-feotpan. Gen. Sir
William Robertson, British Chief of
Staff, who is expected to succeed
Lord Kitchener as Secretary Of State
for War. has not drop of blue blood
in his .plebeian veins nor the hqmblest
heraldic device to his name. He came
from nobody, except men and women,
and from nowhere, except the broad
stream Of humanity. But England is
looking to him for victory, and Brit
ish royalty is to continue to main
tain: itself, it may owe its preserva-
ton to one who formerly curried the
horses of country aristocraey or, as
i"Jeems" the footman, contributed to
the Denial pomp of Wiltshire squire.
The joke is on aristocracy, and Am
erican democracy grins broad grin
across the sea at the embarrassment
of belted earls. The ineficieney of
democracy has been a fayorite text
of late. But here is nature meddling
with profound political PHILOSOPHERS
and calling on common man to do
the uncommon things which his So
cial superiors have been unable to do.

HOCHs OF THE KAISER
Baltimore American)

Kaiser Wilhelm called for hochs
from the sailors of the fleet at Will
helmshaven, in celebration of the vic
tory of the German fleet over that
of the British which victory is hailed
as giving the Germans mastery OF the
sea. They may have it, but what
are they going to do with it? Hochs
will not lift the blockade nor promote
the invasion of England. If the VIC
:.ory was, indeed, a decisive stroke
and not such deadly success as
place the Germany Navy at added dis
advantage in comparison with the
British, there will be something more
than hochs at Wilhelmshaven. Hur-
rah and hullabaloo are the claqucrs Of
pretentious persons and parties. They
will not feed the German population.
The hochs of the Kaiser will be dis
counted by the neutral world unless
Germany shall sharply and decisive
ly follow up the advantage it claims.
The fact that the German Emperor
am gloss over facts as easily as he
lid in this speech and make it ap-
year as though the war were going
I'll one way tends to prevent conf
ience from being given his claims
With respect to the Skagerack battle.
The Germans have much to be joy
GUS about, but it yet remains to be
demonstrated that they have any
hing like the asset in the North Sea
light to which they lay claim, par
icularly with tardy concessions of
Two more big ships added to their
ost list.

QUERIES ON THE CUSTER LAW
Provisions, Mayor Ainslie Says Will
Be Carried Out in Richmond

Since the announcement mas peen
made that Mayor Ainslie of Richmond
has instructed the Police Department
on and after June 18, to enforce
every State law, however obsolete, and
however much it may interfere with
the convenience of the public, the
MAYORS office. at the City Hall has
been thronged with citizens anxious
to find out whether their individual
status is affected. To every question
the Mayor has made the same answer,
that the law would be carried out.
The "ouster law" provides for the
Scmoval from office of any official, not
protected by the Constitution. neglect
ing to perform any duty enjolned by
any law of the State.
Many questions have been brought
to the Mayor for Interpretation. Here
is one that was asked yesterday: us
q minister necessity" Mayor Aims
lie said that, in his opinion, ne was.
Sunday is set aside for religious
worship" he said, "and to have ser
vice a leader is needed. 1t makes no
difference what his title is, according
to creed. Such leader must be sup
norted. do not think, however, that
paid choir singers are a necessity.
GLOW about the police? Aren't they
following their vocations on the Sab
bath day, and should they arrest
themselves if they sec each other on
duty on June 1872" he was asked.
: "Thc police are matter OF neces-
sity. So are the iremen," ne replied.
GLOW about trains?"
"They are provided for under the
law"
The law allows the delivery on Sun
Gav of ice cream made on the pre-
;;ious day, but says nothing Of dellv-
cries of ice and milk.
"some people claim that newspapers
are necessity on Sunday. Granting
that the people of Richmond do con-
slider the news on Sunday morning in
dispensable, there are two morning
newspapers in the city and they
Should be sufficient. AS early as .
o'clock in the morning on Sundays

END AS FAR
OFF AS EVER.

The announcement is made that
Vaux, the second Of the forts making
up the enormous defenses of Verdun
has fallen into the hands of the Ger
mans, which may be looked upon as
marking a definite stage in the nib
bling process by which the German
"rats" are finding their way toward
the heart of the citadeled situation.
The doorway of Verdun from the
northeast has been taken to supple
ment the capture of Douaumont:
which likewise is easterly from Yer
dun. Although the works were so bat
tered by the vast artillery fire that
scarcely anything resembling a fort,
even of the type of this, the under
ground type, remains. Yet; the Ger
mans have the benefit of the moral
victory, the strategic success and the
military advance.
It goes without saying that the
French endured almost indispensable
hardships before they yielded the
position and that the garrison was
reduced to tatters before the cap
ture was effected. 1t gpcs without the
saying that the Germans loss was
disproportionate to the value of the
success. unless they shall likewise
carry all the strong points and wiz
Verdun. Then they would hope tc
force terms of capitulation from the
Allies and end the war-although
this by no means follows as the prob
able result, especially as the, Rus

Generally these scares are c sa!

at times for many years. There was

the four years war between the
states, when cases existed in almost
every other house in the city, when
soldiers, and refugee negroes were
dying like sheep, the war cloud
overshadowed everything and but lit

certain class, some Of who were coun-
climen, and special meetings. OF the
city fathers were held and divers
measures suggested to safeguard the
community. One member was anx-
ious to place sufferers from the dis
ease in canal boat and anchor 1t
off Jones's Point; others urged that
a hospital be placed upon the clty's
ground at the aims house. The resi-
dents of the county protested and
eventually temporary structure
was placed between St. Mary's
Cemetery and Hunting Creek. Sim

one of the severest winters ever eX-
perienced in this section of the coun-
try.
The scare of the past week was
one of the commissions which occur
on an average every decade.

worth pound of cure.
All will rejoice, however, over the
fact that normal conditions are again

suffering from the maladies which

no deaths have occurred among us
