TECUMSEH, GREATEST
OF INDIAN WARRIORS

The greatest of all American In
dams "a brave warrior, Napoleonic
leader OF men. an able statesman and
a diplomat Of rare ability-such was
Tecumseh, chief of the Shawnees, who
was CLAIM the battle of the Thames, in
Canada, 104 years ago tomorrow.
There have been many witnesses to
attest Tecumseh.s bravery and no.
bility of character. Major Gen. Sir
Isaac Brook, commander of the Eng
1ish forces in Canada at the outbreak
Of the last war between England and
the United States, wrote of his red
skinned ally, "A more sagacious and
active man does not, believe, exist"
Tecumseh was made brigadier-gn-
eral in the British army during the
war of 1872. Heswas joint commander
with Gen. Proctor at the siege of Fort
Meigs, during which he protected the
Kentucky militia, recklessly led by
Col. Dudley into an ambush, from an
initiation. In all his military career
Tecumseh manifested the most hui
name and civilized Instincts. and often
aroused the anger and contempt of
his followers by protecting prisoners
and women and children from the fe-,
rocity Of his braves.
On the day before the battle of the
Thames, where Tecumseh lost his life,
when Gen. William Henry Harrison
was approaching with a vastly SUI
perior force, Tecumseh had a premo-
milton Of his coming end. He removed
his adopted uniform sof a British brig
adler general, and donned his Indian
costume. Shortly after the battle
opened Tecumseh,s prediction Of his
own death was fulfilled. With his last
breath he cursed Proctor who had
led early in the day. The engage
ment was brief. and when 1t was over
the bodies of two Indian warriors
were left upon the field. One of the
dead Indians was thought to be Te-
cumseh, and the Kentuckians, for
getting their debt Of gratitude for his
noble conduct at Fort Meigs, stripped
the corps naked and hacked and
slashed 1t with their sabres. AS a
matter of fact, however, It is likely
that the dead Tecumseh was carried
| from the field by his warriors.
Tecumseh, the savage of heroic
mold, was born near the site of
| Springfield, Ohio, in 1853. He was
Graded in strife, for it was day
when the Indians were vain1y trying
to turn back the tide fof white immi-
| grafton. He received his baptism OF
hre at the age of 18, when his village
was attacked by paleface force. Te-
cumseh,s frightened, turned and fled
| at the first IRE. It was the only time
he ever retreated. from that time IN
til his death his face was ever turned
toward the foe.
AS chief OF the Shawnees, he at
tempted to organize the western In
dians against the whites and in this
1 project he had the assistance of his
brother, Elswkatawa, "the Prophet
a great religious leader among the In
dams. The latter was defeated by
Harrison at Tippecanoe in 1911. and
/ Tecumseh then offered his services to
| the British. He was absolute master
of his Indian followers and they
would do anything for him-even re-
train from massacre and torture.

Captured Vessels
Form Indemnity Fund
At Hands Of British

London, Oct. 4.-vesse1s captured
or seized by Great Britain from her
enemies during the war 'fn restitu-
ton for the destruction and plumber

allies" should be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied as part of the war in

tee Of Members Of the Chamber OF
Shipping Of the United Kingdom and
Of the Liverpool Steamship Owners
association. This committee was ap-
pointed to ascertain what Great Bril-
tain's trade policy should be after the
conclusion OF the war. They recon-
mend that the funds derived from the
sale of enemy vessels taken In war
should not be applied TO reimburse
British shipping owners or underwrit-
ers for lost ships but should go to the
general indemnity fund.
The committee asserts that, IN de-
termfning Britain's trade policy to be
adopted after the war, 1t should be
the first care of the state to do moth
ing to imperil the ''pre-eminent posi-
ton the United Kingdom holds In the
international trade Of the world.
sour manufacturing power, our
commerce and our shipping" the
committee stated, shave been estab-
lished for the worlds trade and no
smaller field can provide scope for
their employment, To maintain that
position the nation must with the ut
most possible speed after peace Is re-
stored bring back its fighting forces
into productive industry 80 as to re-
establish its manufacturing power,
and to replace the war wastage In
its shipping.
The ruling principle Of our trade
policy, after the war should consist In
the maintenance for each individual
citizen Of the fullest possible oppor-
tunities for the exercise Of his ener-
gies and enterprise In the markets OF
the world. We are Satisfied that 50
far a. shipping Is concerned, apart
from any ex~e- tiona1 case for estab-
! fishing new trade, It can fonly hold
its own In competition with the world
free from state control, and therefore
free from state assistance. and that
speaking generally state intervention
can most profitably be- directed and
limited to increasing the trading ef-
ficiency of the nation as a whole"

GERMAN AIRMAN
RISKS LIFE TO

Bank Clerk in London Re-
members Happy Days
Before War.

Behind British Lines in France,
Oct. A German airplane was
brought down in the British lines this
week after a battle lasting nearly an
hour. The next morning a German
machine came lowering over the
same spot and manoeuvred for a po-
sition. It was promptly attacked, but
returned to the German lines after
dropping overheard something which
was seen to fall near an evacuated
village.
Two British soldiers, who were sent
to find out what had been dropped
returned with a beautiful wreath
nearly three feet in diameter. To the
wreath was attached a note asking
the British airmen to place 1t on the
grave OF the dead pilot.
''The officer you have buried was
my brother" said the note, '1 spent
six happy years working In a London
bank. I know you honor the dead
Please do this little service for me-
The wreath was deposited as request
ed on the grave of the dead German
airman.

some Irishmen meet with bitter de-

clares that the Allies are fighting the
battle Of civilization, and deserve the
support Of al1-Irishmen.
