SHAWANO RED men
Indian Remains, Trails and
Mounds Are Located.
Wisconsin Lake Of Same Name Was
Happy Hunting Grounds and Gen.
ter Of Tribes Population.

The Indian history and remains Of
the region about Lake ShawanO and
the Wolf river are discussed In the
Wisconsin ArcheolOgist In an article
by George Il. Fox and 81. o. Younger.
Lake ShawanO was the center of In
dian population of considerable num-
Der, and the authors of the article To-
Gated trails, camp sites, mounds and
other Indian remains in great abun-
dance. Several of the old Indian leg
ends regarding the first Indian settle
ment Of this region are also included
in the work.
Among the old trails definitely lo-
Gated is one which led from the Wolf
river to the Wisconsin river, meeting
the latter stream near Wausau., An
other trail ran along the eastern shore
of Lake ShawanO to Mud lake and
thence to the OcontO river near Pull
cifer. A third trail ran southeast to
BOnduel and north to Cecil. The Fox
river itself was of course the chief
Indian highway.
The legends regarding the Occupa-
ton of the ShawanO lake country are
still a part of Menominee lore and per-
haps contain some facts, because the
direct descendants of the first Indian
settlers in this country still live. A
dream Of a beautiful lake, according
to the legend, brought an old Indian
and his family to the place which aft
erward became a large Indian settle
/ ment.
The mounds in the region were
probably built by predecessors of the
Menominees, because the latter did not
bury in mounds. Some mounds were
found near Pickerel creek, some in
the city of ShawanO, and others on the
wilder shores, where it is difficult to
do much investigating. On Mud lake
in the town of WescOtt they found
group of four mounds and near the
group a mound more than 80 feet IN
diameter.
The city of ShawanO contains
traces of one of the largest mound
groups in the northeastern part OF the
state. A group of 80 or more mounds
was situated at the terminus of Greer
Bay street. Many of these have beer
destroyed by the tilling of fields ant
leveling of streets.

The First Lessons.

The happy and prosperous children
are those who have before all else the
education that comes by reverence,
writes Amelia E. Barr. This educa-
tion is beyond all doubt the highest,
the deepest, the widest and the most
perfect of all the forms of education
ever given to man. A child that has
not been taught to reverence God, and
all that represents God to man
honor. honesty, justice, mercy, truth,
love, courage, self-sacrifice, is sent into
the world like a boat sent out to sea-
without rudder, ballast, compass OF
captain. The manipulation table can
wait until the child has been taught
to reverence all that is holy, wise and
good, and the imagination received its
first impulse.

State of Feeling at Tokyo So Serious
Statesmen Friendly to U. S. Fear
Situation may Get Beyond Control
Idaho to Kill Bill.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 5.-Oregon's anti
alien land bill was withdrawn from the
legislature here by Senator George Il.
Wilbur Dem.), who introduced it, be-
cause, as he said, he did not wish to
handicap President Wilson with pos
sible Japanese complications during the
present international crisis.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Japan's repre-
sensations to the United States against
the antialien land bills pending in the
Idaho and Oregon legislatures, although
made informally through her embassy
here, are considered no less serious at
this critical juncture of international
affairs than were her protests against
the California laws four years ago.
Absolutely nothing had been permit
ted by the administration to become
public until the protest was disclosed
by appeals to the Oregon and Idaho
delegations in congress to use their in
fluence at home to prevent passage OF
the bills at this time.
The state of feeling in Japan, prob
ably much disturbed by the recent
crisis in the government has been rep
resented to the state department as
being SO SERIOUS that the Japanese
statesmen who wish to preserve friend
ly relations with the United States fear
the passage of legislation in this coun-
try directed against their country may
force the situation at home beyond
their control.
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 5.-Antialien lead
ers in the Idaho senate decided the
antialien land ownership BILL passed
by the house, would be killed by In
definite pOstpOnement In order not to
embarrass the United States govern
ment during the present international
crisis.
A telegram was read in the senate
from United States Senator Borah in
which he asked that no legislation
of this kind be enacted at this time.
Japan objected to the proposed bill,
which is similar to California's anti
alien land ownership law, and the
state department asked the Idaho dele
cation in congress to use their influ-
ence to prevent its passage.
The Idaho Daily Statesman said,
quoting telegram from Senator
Borah, printed with his authorize
ton:
Secretary Lansing and Mr.. Polk
paid a second call at Senator Borahs
residence and represented that Tokyo
fears the enactment of such legislation
at thiss time may so incense the Jap
anese people as to force the govern
ment, in self-preservation to signify
a willingness to register by force of
arms its protest against the Idaho

PASSED BY SENATE OVER PRESl-
DENTS VETO BY VOTE OF
So TO 1e.
JAP PROTEST is IGNORED
1t Now Becomes a Statute and
Amounts to Excluding of the Yellow
Race From the United States by Its
Provisions.

Washington, 'eb. 1.-THE senate, by
q vote of 60 to 10, repassed the immi-
grafton bill on Monday over the veto
of the president, despite a warning
from the state department that the
Asiatic exclusion section might result
in disturbing amicable relations with
Japan. The measure, containing the
literacy test, fought over for 20 years
and vetoed by three presidents, now
becomes law.
Senator Phelan, one of those who
voted to override the veto, voted
against the original passage of the bill.
Senators who voted for the original
bill but would not vote to pass it over
the veto were: Hollis, Johnson of
South Dakota and Thompson, Demo
Gratis, and Sherman and Smith Of
Michigan, Republicans.
New objections from Japan to the
language of the Asiatic exclusion Sec
ton of the vetoed immigration bill
were disclosed in the senate when Sen
ator Reed, fighting the proposal to re-
pass the bill over the presidents veto,
announced he had been authorized by
the state department to say that the
Japanese embassy had called atten-
ton to the provisions. The bill as
finally passed was thought to meet all
objections.
The administration already has sue
cessfully used it's influence to prevent
passage of antialien land bills in Ida
no and Oregon objected to by Japan
and desire not to agitate relations
with Japan now is evident in all ad-
ministration quarters.
This has been accentuated by the
favorable reception in Japan of Presi-
dent Wilson's action in breaking off
diplomatic relations with Germany,
which has been most gratifying to the
government.
In leading up to his announcement
Senator Reed said that in view of ex-
listing conditions he thought the sem
ate should most seriously consider
what it wished to do with the immi-
grafton bill.
Il lay it hard on the conscience and
intelligence of senators" Senator Reed
continued, whether at this particular
juncture we desire to do anything that
will in the slightest degree tend to
disturb the amicable relations between
this country and country with which
we have no serious controversy.

Exceptional difficulties have been

the remarkable Industrial activity Of
the country, recruiting has been, since
the increase was authorized, at very
low ebb. 1t is therefore probable that
the estimate of 125,OO0 as the strength
