Cites Citizenship Pledges.

DIR. Dixon points out that 100 years
ago President jefferson promised citi-
zenship to the Indian, and four years
ago President Wilson, in an address to
all the Indian tribes in the country, re-
newed the pledge. and then concludes:
The soil which we have dedicated to
liberty and freedom is birthright
which we have taken from him. He
has had no share in our boosted de-
mocracy. We fought a great war to
free the black man. and Immediately
gave him citizenship. We fought an

TEN INDIAN REGIMENTS
URGED BY DR.. DIXON

Senator Chamberlain.

Special argument for the establish

given the rights of citizenship, accord
ing to the amendment of Senator Pen
rose to the army BILL was given yesterday
by DR.. Joseph Kossuth Dixon, leader of
the Rodman Wanamaker historical ex-
petitions to the North American In
dian. in letter to Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the military affairs
committee of the Senate
There are two things which stand
out in the question at issue DR.. Dixon
writes. the Indian an unused mill
tary force and granting the Indian
citizenship in recognition of his pa
triotism."
DIR. Dixon also points out other rea-
sons why the Indian should be taken
into the army. saying: The Indian can
fight-he has ever been a warrior. Cen
turtles of struggle against environment
and what he regarded as oppression
have fitted him for this role. He has
the soldiers qualities Of strength, cour-
age, intelligence, loyalty, endurance,
stoicsm, saSacity. patience, persistence
and "reminiscences of purpose. He is
already prepared the Swiss train

and an accurate use of the gun.
That the Indian is capable of becom-
ing an efficient soldier is shown in the
War Department record of the early
nineties. DR.. Dixon AYERS, when Maj.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott. then Lieut.. Scott
of the 9TH Cavalry, recruited and com
manded a troop of Indians, of which
the inspector general of the army said:

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach
troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth. tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition
or energy, troubled with undigested
foods, you should take Olive Tablets,
the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil. You will know them
by their olive color. They do the
work without gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief, so you can eat what you
like.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.


BAGDAD, Mesopotamia, March IL
The much maligned dust of the Tigris
valley was an important factor in the
taking of Bagdad by the British army.
1t was dust storm. so thick that one
could not see four feet in front of
him. that enabled the engineers to
bridge the Diala river. where the Turks
made their last stand.
The last battle before Bagdad is
likely to become historic mainly on ac-
count of the fighting at the crossing
of the Diala. about eleven miles from
Bagdad. 1t was necessary to cross OPP
posite the village of Diala where the
stream is about 100 yards wide, in the
thick houses. walls and gardens
armed with machine guns and rifles
There were two days of very desperate
fighting before the crossing was eff
fected.
The attack on the night of March
was checked. but the quality of cour-
age shown has never been surpassed
in war. Immediately the first pontoon
was lowered over the ramp the whole
launching party was shot down in
few seconds. 1t was bright moonlight,
and the Turks had concentrated their
machine guns in the houses on the OPP
posite bank A second pontoon reached
the middle of the stream when ter

they were reduced almost to their last

Need Is to Beat Germany.

The great war does not indicate a
general breakdown of decency and
right motive 1t was brought on by
one nation, probably the only great ma
ton that still believes in war.
Not Nietzsche nor Treitschke nor
Bernhard, but the successes of 1870 are
responsible And it is the duty of the
whole world to show Germany that
she cannot repeat the trick.
The new movement toward better m
ternational organization. initiated by
Russia's call for the first Hague con-
ference has made marked progress in
Great Britain, France and the United
States Germany alone has designedly
blocked 1t.
The need of the hour is to beat Ger
many. But running side by side with
this task is the duty of being ready.
when this war is over, with an intelli-
gent and practical plan to discourage
future war The latter has high and
enduring Importance. 1t must not be
overlooked even in the midst of the
stern business in which we are now
engaged.
At any hour may come that next
great event. the throwing down by the
German people of their own rulers.
All the strife would then be stilled and
America would at once be confronted
with the question: Are you ready to
assume your share in a world organ
ization to prevent return of this
cataclysm

Sixty Hold Lunette.

Sixty men had gained foothold on
the other bank of the Diala They
got together and started bombing along
the bank They were soon heavily
pressed by the Turks on both TANKS
and found themselves between two
clumps of woods. Here they discovered
a providential natural position. A break
In the river levee had been repaired
by new levee built in a half moon
on the landward side. This formed
perfect lunette. The sixty soldiers, sur
rounded on all sides but the water, held
1t through the night. all the next day
and the next night against repeated and
determined attacks.
The attacks were delivered In the dark
and at dawn. The Turks only attacked
once in the daylight, as the British
machine guns on the other bank swept
the ground in front of the position,
Twenty yards west of the lunette there
was thin grove of mulberries and
palms. The pontoon position was most
vulnerable on this side, and it was
here that the Turkish attacks were
most frequent. British artillery fire,
intermittent day and night, on the
wood. afforded some protection. The
whole affair was visible to the British
troops on the south side, who encour-
aged their comrades by shouting. At
tempts were made to get a cal BILE across
by means of rocket, in order to pass
the little band of sixty more ammuni-
ton, but the attempts were unsuccess-

passage. Crew after crew pushed off

second and third groups of pontoon
crews were exterminated in the same
way. and their pontoons drifted out
into the Tigris TO float past the British
camp in the daylight with the freight
of dead. The pontoon parties were
volunteers, SO chosen that all bat
talions of the brigade would snare me
honors of the night. The loss of all the
available pontoons finally stopped the
efforts to cross the river.
on the second night the attempt was
resumed with equal galiantry. But TINS
time the attack was preceded by
bombardment. Registering by artillery
had been impossible on the first day IN
the speed of the pursuit II was the ar

troops their footing-not the shells
themselves but the dust storm

boats were able to cross.
