PARCELS FOR RUSSIA
RELEASED BY SWEDEN
Promises to Interfere No More With
Traffic Are Withheld Pending
Negotiations

LONDON, Aug. 2S--Great Britain
following the lead OF Sweden has made
public the entire correspondence with
Sweden concerning British seizures OF
the Swedish parcel post with the
United States and Swedish retaliation
in stopping all British parcels in tran
sit To Russia
As result OF the negotiations Swc
den recently released o00O parcels
TO Russia under agreement with the
government To submit the matter TO
arbitration after the war The British
government demanded that there be
no more iutcrierences with traffic
across Sweden 10 Russia but Sweden
refused to promise, saying II was not
included IN the original negotiations.
whcreupon the British government
withdrew us otter to arbitratc. The
final offer OF Sweden was that she
would do nothing in retaliation for
anything done by Great Britain prior
10 July y OF tins year, which was
coupled with the hope that tins concil-
iatory attitude would move Great
Britain 10 cease interference with Swe
dish mails, thus saving Sweden from
"the necessity of resorting to retalia-
tion in the future"
In this last note Sweden threatened
TO make the entire correspondence pub
lie. should the occasion arise
Great Britain in her last note signed
by Foreign Secretary Gray, said the
British offer TO arhltratc would re
main open only on condition that Swe
den should continue to forward parcels
between England and Russia and else.

TALKS ON
BANKING
How to Draw u Check.

The first thing depositor In a
bank should learn is how to draw
a check, for If u check is improperly
drawn ii may lead to confusion and
might bring a loss to the bank and
annoyance to the depositor. In the
first place the figures should be
plainly made, so that no question
can arise as to the amount. II a
figure Is carelessly made, so that 1t
corfuses those who handle the
check, numberless hours of work
lrav follow. For instance, If bank
receives n check for sl.SS with a
poor 49," and a clerk lists it as
$l.oS, it may take many hours time
to find the difference, and the en-
sire days work may have to be gone
over. The rule should be: never
make n figure that may be mistaken
and never pass one that is in doubt
correct il by crossing out the bad
and making n good one alongside.
Second, the words and figures
should agree. The law says that II
the two are different the written
words govern. but make 10th care
fully and get them alike.

She Didn't Wnit.

displayed some nerve and pluck. Miss
Hinman did not wait for the men to
get there, but fastened TO the barn
without stopping to dress. and IN bare
feet united the horses before they had
become unmanagable. thus saving
them with little trouble. There is not
n man, we venture to say, in all Steele

MILE LAC CASE Still
HANGING FIRE.

The Mile Lac case has not YET
reached final settlement although
the attorneys for the Indians will
meet the attorneys for the Depart
ment of Justice for this purpose
on the 10th of this month.
Commissioner Sells is taking an
active interest in behalf of the
Chippewas, and is quoted as say
ing that he will allow the use of
Chippewa tribal funds if necessary
to get any additional evidence that
may be needed.
1t is not probable that the case
will be allowed to 90 up to the
Supreme Court of the United
States the second time, and an
early settlement is hoped for by
the attorneys.

The Department Against
The Van Metre Bill.


The Interior Department, it is
learned, is not favorable to the
Van Metre bill and will report
against it. This bill proposes to
give the state courts of Minnesota
jurisdiction over Indian estates of
this reservation. ......
The Indian office at Washing
ton claims that to a great extent
the courts already have jurisdic-
ton, and by proper proceedings
may obtain all the jurisdiction
necessary in the estates of In
dians.
The Tomahawk., 1916-05-18
one At A Time.

There are now pending before
Congress three bills of vast i'm
portance to the Indians IF this
country, namely; the Hastings,
johnson and Lane bills. The first
two named bills propose to give to
the Indians a voice in the manner
in which their matters should be
conducted and also a voice in the
selection CT their agents, while the
Lane bill proposes to abolish the
Indian office entirely by reorgan-
izing it.
THE ToMAHAwK has never been
an advocate of the Indian Offices
methods, but it must be admitted
tina t there must be recognized
head of Indian affairs which must
to a large extent be subject to the
administrative body of the gov
eminent, and, therefore, the sud-
den change proposed by the Lane
bill if it should become law and
be carried out radically might
complicate matters to such an ex-
tent as to cripple Indian matters.
It is true that the Lane bill pro-
poses to put into the hands of three
commissioners the affairs of the
Indians, and no one can question
the righteousness of Senator
Lanes motives, but it may be
! possible that the plan Of placing
branch of the administration Of
the government in the hands of the
legislative body may be impracti-
cable as the bill proposes to do; in
substance the bill proposes to
place the three commissioners un-
der the exclusive jurisdiction of
Congress.

The BIG PAYMENT.

The payment Of one fourth or
the tribal funds of the Chippewas
of Minnesota now to their credit
in the Treasury of the United
States is now assured notwith-
standing the rumors which have
been in circulation to the contrary
upon the different Indian reselva-
tions in this state.
The Secretary of the Interior
stated to the Chippewa delegates
at Washington last week that the
matter would he taken into co.,
sideration without delay. The
delegates requested that CON-
mission consisting Of Inspector
Mclaughlin and others be IN
structed to come here and classify
the members of the reservation
without delay, 50 that the pay
ment could be made.
1t is not probable, howe> err,
that the payment will be COM
menced before next July as was
hoped for by the Ch'ppewas.
