INDIANS DEMAND THAT
RIGHTS BE RESPECTED
Mix-Up in Registration Cards
Calls Protests.

Helena, Dec. "a delegation of
Crow Indians recently discharged
from the National army at Camp
Lewis, called upon Adjutant General
Phil Greenan this morning to make
certain that the rights of the Indians
are respected under future draft calls.
The trouble on the reservation, it is
said, arose over the failure of the In
dian agent to comply with the instruc-
tions of the war department. lie was
instructed to register all male Indians
of draft age and then to segregate the
registration cards of non-citizen In
dams from those that have been
granted full citizenship papers. The
latter cards We're TO be turned over
to the local board of the county in
which the reservation is situated. it Is
alleged.
Instead of doing this however the
Indian agent turned all the cards into
the local board and as a result many
Indians were drafted who should not
have been.
