Washington, June 12.-It's about
time some guardians were appointed
for the gentlemen who care for the
various government codes. Since the
outbreak of the European war it's
been just one lost code after another
Someone broke : into the telegraph
office down at Fort Huahuachic, Ariz.,
the other night, and made off with
several army code books inkthe place.
The army is beginning to ask itself:
What were the code books doing in
the telegraph office. and why were
they not in the. safe?"
1t hasn't been more than a few
months ago when some sub-officer in
the navy admitted that through his
carelessness certain fire-control codes
had been lost or stolen and there was
talk of covrtmartial for the RESPONSE
BILE officer.
1t is generally admitted that both
Germanic and Entente allies in the
European war know our diplomatic
codes, so it seems rather desirable
that the whole army, navy and State
Department code system be rear
ranged.

Lane has been out in South Dakota

Of course, it would mean nothing
to the Indian mind to merely tell him
he was a citizen of the United States
and present him with legal evidence
of the fact. There had to be ritual
of some sort, so. Mr. Lane and his
Indian Service assistants figured out
a made-to-order ceremony that was ex-
pected to be the real thing.
The Indians were picked out one
at time and told to shoot an arrow
