want Of sleep He says that while he
was being chased by General How
ards troops in the Indian war of lSII
he slept neither night nor day. For
that reason he is opposed to war.
Another reason advanced Is that
Tho Nez Perces have treaties with the
government calling for perpetual
pcace. But so far Peopeotahliket has
been disappointed in learning that
only Indians who are not citizens OF
the United States are exempt from
the draft. Those who are citizens are
subject to the call Some are being
excused as agriculturists.
