STORY OF THREE WHITE GIRLS,
ONE INDIAN AND A BABY
The love of three "paleface"
queens has played havoc with the life
of Thomas ST. German, an Indian,
whose splendid football ability as a
member of the Carlisle university
team brought him glory in the sport
ing world and job as asst coach at
Yale university.
st. GeFmain lives in Chicago.
When his football glory dimmed he
tried his hand at law which he had
studied between football scrimmages
at Carlisle. But this story is about
St. Germans heart.
Years ago when the eastern uni
Yersity world rang with his praises
he met and wooed Jeanette Black,
daughter Of John Black, wealthy real
estate man. They were to have been
married. But Father Black cared
nothing for st. German the man and
splendid athlete. He was an Indian
and Black forbade his daughter to
marry him.
But their love grew passionately
strong. They were young. She be-
Iieved he was all to her. Later a
baby was born to her. From this
point on st. German grows out of
the ardent young lover role and as
sumes the role of the william in the
play"
Racial authorities tell us that In
dams are noted for their steadfast-
ness, their loyalty. Mingling with a
certain class Of whites appears to,
have corrupted this quality in. st.
German. After the baby was born
he traced his steps westward, forgot
the girl who had sacrificed so much
for him and married another lady of
the white race.
The girl-mother came after him.
She pleaded with him. The wife
heard Jeanette Blacks story. She
understood and sympathized. She

away. He started calling on Janet
Wilkins, a social worker, whom he
had met while working as a life
guard on the 51st st. beach. They
were married.
Dishonored and turned from her
fathers house, Jeanette Black tired
of appealing to st. Germans heart
and sense of justice. She had him
arrested. The case came up before
Judge SteIk in the court of domestic
relations yesterday. It was con-
tinued until tomorrow. st. German
says he has already contributed over
$500 to the support Of the child. And,
strange to say, this educated young
son of the loyal and faithful Indian
race thinks this should satisfy the
girl-motheT of his child.

Major w. Redmond,
Noted Nationalist,
Is Killed in Action
Brother of Irish Leader Re-
ported Dead of Wounds
on French Front

London, June 9.--It was unoficially
reported here to-day that Major William
II. H. Redmond, member of Parliament
for the East Division of Clare and a
brother of John Redmond, leader Of
the Irish Nationalists in the House of
Commons, had died from wounds re-
ceived in action in France on June 7.
The news that Major Redmond had
been killed will cause genuine regret
both in England and ireland. lie was
one of the most brilliant men of the
Nationalist party, and while an uncom-
promising advocate OF Home Rule, was
one of the most popular men in Parla-
ment and the country. Among his
friends, and even many of his most
bitter political opponents, this popu-
larity was enhanced when on the out
break of the war, he whole heartedly
supported the cause of the Entente
Allies and at the first opportunity
sought and secured a commission in an
Irish regiment, although well over the
age limit. He had risen TO the rank of
major.
Major Redmond served with the Sixth
Royal Irish Rifles. Ne sat in Parlis-
ment for Wexford, North Fermansgh
and East Clare successively. having
represented the East Division of Clare
since 1892. He was born in 1861 and
was barrister-at-law.
Major Redmond was well known in
the United States, TO which country he
made several visits. the last one being
just before the war.

Raid
On Food Here
Causes Alarm
Congress Criticised for De
lay in Passing Govern
ment Control Bills
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 9.--Positive infor-
nation that European neutrals are pur-
chasing great quantities of foodstufs
in the country through agents in New
York and Southern cities, to-day caused
bitter criticism in Administration cir
cles Of the delay over the pending food
control legislation.
During the day several Senators con-
ferred with Food Commissioner Hoover
regarding the situation. Later it was
stated with the authority of the Food
Control Administration that unless the
pending legislation was expedited 1t
would be impossible 30 take the neces-
sary conservation measures planned by
Mr.. Hoover
IL was further charged that already
the Department of Agriculture had
been prevented from taking much need
ed steps TO stimulate production De
cause of Congressional delay.
There is an urgent need, it was said,
for the immediate enactment OF the
embargo bill giving the President con-
troll Of food exports. This, however, IT
ding the food situation unless the sup
Elementary regulatlve powers included
in the legislation were also made law.
The Allied governments, it is known,
arc seriously concerned over the situa-
tion Because of an informal agree
nent with Mr.. Hoover, purchasing rep
resentatives Of the Entente IN TINS
country have not yet taken steps 70
secure the large supplies urgently
needed. A cooperative scheme OF lolnt
purchases By the Hoover Commission
and Entente representatives has peeh
drafted, but has awaited action author-
izing Mr.. Hoover to proceed:
If European neutrals continue 10 Sc
cure large quantities of the Southern
food crop which is now being moved tne
Allies rs well as the United states u
was pointed out, may be seriously EN-
barrassed through postponement oil
senators Houston. Of Wisconsin;
Sbinpard. OF Texas, and Ransdell, OF
Louisiana, conferred with Mr.. Hoover
late today. II was stated afterWard
,bat vigorous attempt 10 secure
pronpt action on the food control Dill
will be made early next week.
Mr.. Hoover, outlining his plans fof
lowering food prices TO delegation OF
labor representatives and Congressmen
to-day. said il was vital that Congress,
pass the Administration food control
bill Immediately. .
"Throughout the last three years,
Mr. Hoover told the delegation, two
words have been written over the pages
of English history, too late Unless
the Lever bill is passed immediately,
before the grain is harvested. too late
will be written in our own history.
