WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-All hold
ings of subjects Of Bulgaria, Turkey
and Austria in the United States will
be seized together with Germans
property, A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian, announced today.
Palmer decision regards Bulgaria,
Turkey and Austria as enemies al
though the United States has never
formally declared war against these
three allies of Germany. His ruling
followed series of conferences with
treasury department officials, at
which the scope Of the trading with
the enemy was carefully studied.
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria have
vast stores of war supplies in the
United States. These, as in the case
of the German property will be
affected by Palmer's new ruling. The
dividends from their investments also
will be turned over to the treasury
department for investment in future
Liberty loans.
Announcement is expected shortly
of local officers who will enforce the
act in all the principal industrial and
shipping centers of the country.
Any sort of property belonging to
agents or citizens of these countries
is subject to seizure. IF 1t appar-
emily Is privately owned in good
faitn and non-miltary in nature. 1t
will be returned at the end of the
war.
Whether property belonging to un-
naturalized enemy aliens, resident in
this country will be seized, depends
on a decisuion from the president
Pending this, 1t will not be touched

BENCH GUNS COMING.


 A French naval critic, J. B. Gau- treau, says that the chief naval les son learned from the present war IS the supremacy of the big gun. he fleet whose guns have the longest range is the fleet that is likely to win any naval battle. It Is understood that both the United States and Great Britain, and perhaps other coui-trtes are now experimenting with 1s-incn guns Hitherto 16 inches has been considered the limit. Even with 14- inch glns the battleship Pennsylvania lately hit moving target five times in twelve shots, at a distance of 20,090 yards, or more than eleven miles. The power of gun increases enormously as it's bore increases, and an 1S- inch gun should have range of thirty miles.

NO VOTERS IN U. s. CAPITAL.

The District of Columbia Is the only section of the United States popu- lated by regular American citizens | where the people do not vote. Suf- frage for men has been tried. There from time to time, but always has resulted in so much abuse of the privi- lege that the vote has been given the citizens only to be taken away. Con- sequently, the national capital of the greatest republic in he world, the republic which from the first was founded upon liberty, is the only sec tion governed by the American peo- pie where there is taxation without representation. There is no legisla- true, no council, no board of alder men; congress enacts all the laws ana the people have no direct voice.
 This situation enacts all the laws and method of indirect representation to spring up. The people of Washington have formed numerous citizens as- sociation. There are about fifty rep resenting the various sections of the district. These associations all send representatives to a central federa- ton of citizens associations
 While these bodies have no meth ods of enforcing legislation, they do provide a vehicle for the publication of the citizens opinion and desires regarding the affairs of the city of Washington. At their regular meet ings these associations adopt resolu- tions addressed to the board of com- missioners of the district, the officers appointed by the president to govern the city. When citizens of a certain section desire streets paved, better street lighting facilities, improved water works or other civic better ments, they incorporate their desires in resolutions and forward them to the commissioners.
 In this manner the commissioners are appraised of the wishes of the peo- pie. In some cases, where general questions of policy are in Issue, the
 associations send copies of their res- | olutions to the committee on the
 District of Columbia of beth houses 1 or to the house of representatives ] and the senate themselves. While the method forms but Q half-hearted

the industrial and economic strife of some great urban center.
 The fate of the war hangs upon the food question and the key to the great problem of who is going to win lies In the hand of the nation. that can raise and produce and distribute the most food.
 So why not take these boys who are not yet old enough to fight but who are strong and willing and ambitious and anxious to do something for their country and send them--not to the battlefields and the trenches or out upon the seas to hunt and be hunted but to the farms and the fields where they can reap and SOW and in every way serve the nation as tul'y us their brothers who lie Tn arms on shot swept fields of war?
 In England the women are doing the planting and hoeing and throughout the length and breadth of France there Is not a woman, young or old. rich or poor, who is not willing and eager to plant and reap If by so doing she can be of benefit to her native land. Tn Germany the children have long since gone to work in the fields and little boys and girls of thirteen and fourteen years arc planting and harvesting the crops arc serving their country with as keen devotion as the soldiers at the front.
 So why shouldn't our young boys be at the same task when the nation is facing one of the greatest periods of stress and strife in it's history ana when the whole world is looking to us for bread?

ENLiSTiNG FARM LABOR.

In view of the prospective shortage of labor due to the drafting into mil itary service of millions of men, the plan to enlist young men of non-mil- itary age for service on the farms of the nation, appeals as a very sensible and profitable one. These is within the borders of the United States great army of strong, healthy boys from eighteen to twenty one years of age who are right willing to 'do their bit" but are not able to join the reg ular army and fight for their country because of not having reached the service age. With not a great many exceptions, these boys are more than ready to assist in the great struggle the nation is now facing and the ma- jority would undoubtedly be glad to find some way in which they might devote their strength and energy to- ward helping through the crisis in our national affairs.
 As long as the policy of conscrip- tion has been adopted by the govern ment to provide men to fight the na- tons battles there seems no logical reason why the same policy could net be made to serve the equally great national need of providing an abund- ant food supply for ourselves and oui allies during the war period.
 According to reliable accounts, tlis labor situat!cn is rapidly gr1wing tt be one of the mos. important and per picking problems before the govern ment. Facm labor especially is be coming so s, a:ce that grave fears a'' felt in many states that the suppl. of labor will |. so low by the tim the fall Larvssts are due tht. crop cannot oe garnered.
 Thus if We can utilize this vas number of young men for the harvest ing of our crops the problem will b solved and here win be no need fo worry over the shortage of labor.
 And not only would it solve tn labor question but would also Se o great benefit to the young men them selves. Farm work will broaden thel shoulders. deepen their chests, and fil their limbs with the strength Of out door life and the purifying breath o the open air.
 One summer on the farm will d more for the average boy in the wa of health and strength than two year of college athletics and gymnasium practice. Also 1t would create. an in terest in farming that would result i thousands of young men permanent turning to the soil for their livelihood

Crows Should Assert
Their Rights.

Recently member of this res
ervation wrote a friend of his at
the Crow reservation, in Montana,
and urged him to come and attend
the celebration here on the l4th.
of June next, and in reply the
latter stated he would be pleased
to do so, and also, that the cele-
brated Chief Plenty COOS anu two
or three other members of the
Grow tribe would like to come If
they could obtain leave of absence
from their superintendent to leave
their reservation. ...... S.
The Crow Indians had land allot
ted to them number OF years
ago, we are informed, and are,
therefore, citizens of the United
States, and as such citizens should
assert their rights and ignore their
superintendent in regard to their
personal matters and rights; they
should 60 and come as they please.
A large majority of the Crow
Indians are at swords points with
their superintendent as they
stated at Washington last winter;
that be is ignorant, overbearing,
and assumes more authority over
them than even The Indian Office
at Washington, and very much
more than United States laws al
low.
1t is abominable to be ruled by
q rod of iron as our Grow brethren
stated last winter they are being
ruled by their superintendent and
their district farmers. They
should now assert their rights as
full citizens of the United States
by resisting the illegal acts of this
superintendent and their farmers,
have voting precincts established
upon their reservation and claim
all the rights of citizenships. Then,
and only then, will their represen
tatives in congress be able to do
for them what should be done,
free them from The yoke of OPP
preston aid thralldom.

to know where we stand ut the

Burrows, little over three miles
from old Grow Wing, is a new
village, and two iron mines are
now in operation there. These
mines will make a city of Barrows,
and if the Buckman mine should
also be worked, the village will
become one of the leading mining
centers on the Cayuna Range.
Many of the old residents of
Grow Wing may recall the locality
where the wagon road from there
to Brainerd which turned off from
the main road west of the Nc
Arthur farm came into the main
road again northeast Of the farm;
that is where Barrows is located.
Barrows is in fact northwest of
what was known as the George
Fairbanks Lake in the early days,
as it is where George Fail banks,
father Of B. L. Fairbanks, took
some land and made some improve
ments. The lake is half mile
from Barrows, and there is where
the Rowley Mine is located, and is
now in operation.

The farmers around Grow Wing
say that the land there is too sandy
to raise first class crops, but what
it lacks in this respect it makes up
in the climatic conditions which
are the best in the country. Many
persons say they came there il

recovered fully and will not take

United States Laws lg-
nored by Hinton.

Recently Supt. Hinton employ
ed two new clerks in the agency
office here, one of whom is a young
lady of Detroit, MIMI, who is not
a member of the Chippewa tribe,
and the other whose rights are
questioned as such.
Supt. Hinton absolutely ignores
the amendment to the Indian APP
preparation acts of last year and
this year, which provide that mem
bers Of the Chippewa tribe shall
receive preference as employees in
the Chippewa Indian service in
Minnesota.
1t is learned that a young lady
Of this reservation, eighteen Years
Of age, a graduate Of a govern
ment Indian school, and of busl
ness college, was an applicant for
one of the positions but was re-
fused the place on the tlimsy ex-
cuse that she is too young.
Supt. Hinton, il ignoring Unit
ed States law, which does not give
hin any option but compe]s him
to appoint Chippewas to positions,
has laid himself liab to at least
removal from office if not punish
ment, and this matter should be
pushed so as to prevent any repe-
tition of a similar uffense.

Health Campaign Bearing
Fruit.

That the health campaign by the
Indian Office is actually accom-
plishing results, is evident from a
letter recently written by an In:
dian on the Pine Ridge reservation
to Supt. Brennan complaining of
the private dances.
The letter is in part as follows:
1.-THE Indians they had a dance
hall and they dance twice a month
but they don't dance in the dance
hall and there is a dance in our
house where they living three times
a week. Now you know | am say

Indians Of Oklahoma Cut

Indians are setting the pace for
their palefaced brothers in the
matter of abstainlng from use of
iutoxicants. .
A few years ago the average
Indian looked like ready money!
to the crooks and sharps, who had
a system of separating most of the
Indians from their money, esDeci-
ally after the Indians began re-
ceivi,g money from their oil
royalties. Liquor played an i'm
portant part in the system. 1t is
difficult to estimate what amount
of money the Indians have been
heeced out of, but those who pro.
fess to speak with authority say
members of the Usage, Cherokee,
Delaware and Creek tribes have
BEEN swindled out Of So, 100000 at
least.
Ninety per cent of the Indians
of Oklahoma today are total alb
st.iners, according to George
Vaux, Jr., chairman of the Board
of Indian Affairs, who has just re-
turned to Washington after trip
through Oklahoma.
To-day there is probably no
place in Oklahoma where the law
against the sale Of liquor is more
strictly enforced and where it is
more difficult for any one, Indian
or white man, to secure intoxi-
cants, said Mr.. Vaux.--Ex.
