INDIANS DO NOT LIKE FOOD
 AND BEDS IN WASHINGTON

The Navajo expedition to Washing ton was not altogether happy one. Of the nine Navajos who accompanied Father Weber of St. Michaels, Ariz., to the national capital to urge i'm portant matters before the president only eight returned.
 One of their number from the Chin Lee country took down with pneu- monia while there and died. His name was Singer and he was one of the leading singers and dancers of their tribe.
 Members of the returning party were interviewed and report long hearing before Indian Commissioner Cato Sells, who heard their recom- mendations and complaints and is now planning visit to the reservation this summer for the purpose of un- raveling some of the knotty range problems the Navajos are up against.
 On being asked how they liked Washington and what they saw, one said that he saw so much his head was in whirl and he couldn't rN member it all--in fact, it seemed like an impossible dream. They said all the people one encountered were rich everyone wearing shoes and a com- plete suit of clothes--no poverty whatever.
 Another said that the big buildings made them dizzy and hurt the backs of their necks as the result of gazing at such structures as the Washington monument and the dome of the capi- tol.
 The oldest member of the party said the wonderful beauty of the American marukas or squaws was beyond description and filled him with a desire to stay in the land of pretty white woman.
 They reported that there were no boggy places in the streets or arroyos to encounter anywhere and claimed the streets were all paved with rub Der or something similar.
 Several members of the party had been to school and were able to go l. the American menus in the restau- rants. But the others who could not read or talk to the walters had to take what was ordered by the more up-to-date members of the party and were unable to get single order of beans, chilli or meat such as they liked, and claim they did not get the benefit of the chuck which they were served.
 In order to sleep they said they had to go up high in the air to the fourth of fifth story of the hotel and then the beds were so soft they were unable to sleep much. They longed for the cozy side of sheep pelt and a Navajo blanket for beds, but were unable to get anything of the sort in Washington.
 The party returned feeling that their visit would have important re- suits and are now looking forward to the visit of Commissioner Sells, who will look into their matters person ally.

MAY BE TRAP FOR GERMANs.

A hundred years ago Napoleon
burned the city of Moscow. With an
army Of 100000 men behind him, he
marched into Russia almost unoppos-
ed, captured the city of Moscow and
burned it. It was only when he
tried to get out again that he felt
the claws OF the bear closing In upon
him. Then hunger and cold and
SHOWS and C0ssacks each took their
tolls OF lives, and Of that "Gande
Armee" OF 100000 men, but 10000
lived to see the soil Of France again.
Today the Germans have captured
Riga and penetrated far into Russian
territory, But will they be able to
get out? Can they give up that net
work OF rivers and marshes and bar
rem wastes as easily as they took it.?
Will hunger and snow and Cossacks
take their toll Of them as they did Of
Napoleon? II the Allies can break
through the Alpine passes into Aus
tria and cut the German supply line
into Russia, will it not spell absolute
Disaster to the forces there?

MA, THE FAMOUS EX-BANDIT
SPENDS TWO DAYS HERE-HE

Friday in Parker. In the early days
Al jennings line was holding up
trains until he was taken in custody
and convicted to long term in

devoted his time to politics and to
the lecture platform
Three years ago he ran for gov
ernor in Oklahoma OIL the democratic
platform, and came within a few
hundred votes Of being elected. He
claims he was counted out by the
election board, and those who know
anything about Oklahoma politics do
not doubt his statement. About two
years ago Jennings wrote a series OF
articles IN the Saturday Evening
Post, entitled, Beating Back" which
gave an accurate history of his ca
reer
Al Jennings, as is we'll known,
became an outlaw over the killing Of
his brother. andawhen his brother S
slayer was acquitted he swore he
would get his nurderers. His career
as a train yobber is we'll known, but
anyone meeting him now would
never suspect that he had ever been
a bad man, Jennings doesn't weigh
over 120 pounds, but in early days
he is said to have been a terror with
\ siX-shooter.
Al jennings stay in Parker was
occasioned by the breaking Of two
front springs in his Chandler Six, In
which he is making his way back to
Oklahoma City from the coast, ac-
companied by his one-armed chauf-
ieur.
Mr.. Jennings will leave for Phoe-
nix Saturday Ell route TO Oklahoma.

been lecturtng in Los Angeles and
other cities On the Pacific coast.
Mr.. jennings will lecture by re-
quest at Hosielt's hall tonight (Fri-
