INDIANS NOT
TO BE SENT TO WAR

The following list shows to what
small numbers the blanket Indians
have shrunk since the days when
great tribes of them roamed the hills
and plains of the west.
In Arizona there are only 772 wes-
tern Navajoes, III Havasupais, 1,459
Moquis, and 1928 Colorado River In
dians; 1873 Apaches, once the ter
ror of the western plains; GA Kaibabs
and 1912 San Xaviers.
In Minnesota there are only 1.406
Red Lake Indians on the reservation.
In Nevada, only 279 Walker River In
ians: in New Mexico, I0S Jicarillas,
5,461 Pue0lOs and 48S San Juans.
On the New York reservation there
are only 600 Ononagas. In North Da-
kota there are only 55S Indians on
the Devils Lake reservation. Okla
homa's Kiowa reservation lists only
1SS red skins.
On the South Dakota Sisseton and
Wahpeton reservation but 1,S40 and
on the Tulalip reservation in Wash
ingtOn only 1855.
There is no question of their will
lingness to fight, said a government
official today. but they have clung to
their old ways and their blankets.
They probably would not fit in with
the highly specialized and riSidly
routine system OF lighting in France"

WILL HELP WIN WAR

folks at home, so letters may be sent
them. If the plan succeeds, no
American boy in khaki will stand
aside-bitterly disappointed-on days
when the precious mail Is distributed.
During one week 1000 women vol
unteered as god-mothers forming an
army of women to stay at home and
help beat the kaiser by sending a
steady stream OF letters and com
forts to the battle front.
Godmothers' organizations are be
ing rapidly sent into action in all
parts of the United States. Recruits
who communicate with Mrs. Davis
are sent printed specifications for
knitting mufflers, socks, caps and
other things urgently needed in the
muck of Flanders.
Each woman, Mrs. Davis said, viii
supply one article month. The
Red Cross has taken over the work
of handling all shipments to Europe
and will also have charge Of distri
button on the other side.
AS Mrs Davis explained the plan
she stood in room banked high on
all sides with little packages.
These" she said. ARE the muni
tions of the home. They represent
the work of women who start toiling
for our armies in the field, often
after a hard days work has been
done. Well never give our boys a
chance to forget that while they re
fighting in France for US, we're work
ing at home, for them"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The only
real, simon-pure Americans, the blan-
ket Indians, probably never will have
a chance to go over the top of a
European trench after Americas en-
emy.
Government officials question the
advisability of trying to put reserva-
tion redskins in drafted sammies'
uniforms.
They feel that while the Indians
were great fighters in their day and
their own way, that day and way is
past.
This applies, Of course, only to the
blanket Indians subject to the draft.
There are hundreds of Americanized
Indians in Uncle Sans fighting
forces
And even if the government decid-
ed to draft the blanketed youths, they
would be exempt if they so desired,
as they are wards of the government,
