This was the message to clackers
which John Grass, chief of all the
Sioux, gave yesterday to Lieut.. Col.
Douglass Settle, U. S. A., chief muster
ing officer for North Dakota, who
journeyed by automobile 200 miles to
pay his respects to the aged Sioux
warrior.
Majestic Conference.
1t was a majestic, war conference
over which the hero of countless bat
ties and q score of important treaties
presided at his home, IL miles south
of Fort Yates, just across the South
Dakota line, Sunday afternoon. His
guests, headed by his foster son, Capt.
A. B. Welch of Co. I, included Lieut.
COL Settle, Capt. Leonard Hughes,
Fort Logan, Colo; Major Paul Tharal-
son, Battalion Adjutant F. G. Neumier
of the Second and o. H. Ohlsen, spe-
cial representative of the American
Railway association detailed to North
Dakota in connection with the mODili-
zation o. this states troops. The
journey was made by automobile. The

and discussed the worlds war as one

Sad Parting.
The veteran of many Indian cam
paigns bore up bravely until the time
came for parting with his foster son
and his grandson, Albert Grass, who
has enlisted with Co. l. Then he
turned away, while his aged wife set
up the wall cf her people for war

It was a wonderful trip for the ofti-
GERS who made it. Everywhere on
the reservation the military men were
warmly greeted, and the Journey from
Solen down was one long ovation.
