Major Kitch, who recently conduct

augurated a better farming contest.
Ali male Indians over 10 and OF one

engaged in farming, are eligible to

"The Sioux is making great

all of the time. From 80 to 30 per
cent Of our salaried employees at the
agency are Indians, and they are
making good One of our best men,
when he first came to the Indian
school, had his hair braided and his
face painted in honor of the occa-
sion. He went to Carlisle with his
hair in braids, and he returned a
twentieth century American citizen
who can hold his own with any or
his white cO-workers.'
Practically all of the Indian school
boys of IS or. over have offered their
services to the flag, and a majority
of them have been accepted. There
are fewer enlstments among the old.

THE UNITED STATES NAVY
(NeW York WClld)

NNG" l UFh WClluJ
 This splendid achievement is an auspi- cious beginning" said Secretary Baker in his enthusiastic congratulations to Secre- tary Daniels on the work of the navy in conveying the American army to France , without the loss of single man or damage to single transport.
 It was indeed splendid achievement, and it ought 10 put an end to the business of
 rottcn-eggjng the United States navy which
 has been carried on with malevolent per sistcnce for more than three years.
 Begun originally as political drive against Secretary Daniels, it quickly as
 sulned the form of a general attack upon the navy as a whole. Eventually millions of deIuGed Americans came to believe that the navy was practically worthless. that its ships were junk, that its personnel was in competent and that as an instrument of national defense 1t was q broken reed. All of the responsibility for this mlschev ous campaign does not rest upon politicians and politics. Some of it must be placed upon Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, who had personal grievance against Secretary Daniels and an obsession about the inev
 itable superiority of everything German. He helpcd to give responsibility and expert countenance to a political assault upon the secretary of the navy which has seldom beer surpassed in bitterness and relentlessness in American history.
 Secretary Daniels has unquestionab}y
 made great many mistakes. He has done times that ought not to have been done, or if done at all, might far better have been done differently but even his gravest mis- takes have never justified any part of the campaign to discredit the navy as a whole in order to GiScredit him & a secretary. .Tosephus Daniels may be right or wrong sbout a thousand different things, but the United States navy as again proved that it deserves the fullest confidence and the highest respect of the American pe0il There are no better ships atlost. There are no better officers There are no better men. Whatever happens in this war, they will continue to give the same kind of account of themselves that they gave in conveying the expcditicnary forces to France and b2tI'ng down the lines of German sub marines.
 It is stll the fighting navy that it was from the days of Paul Jones to Farragut and from Farc&gut to George Dewey, greater, stronger and probably more eft cient then ever before in its long ard bril liant history.

AIR ROUTES OF THE FUTURE

While the Zeppelin has been displaced by the airplane in the war German technical journal is of the opinion that enough has been learned about air navigation to make it practicable to run a fleet of dirigbles between Europe and America when the com ing of peace makes this form of communi- cation desirable Four days is the time given for making the voyage. A small in crease in the size of the ships IS deemed sufficient to enable them to carry profitable loads. The inference is drawn from this article that the Zeppelin is a failure in war because it's bulk makes it the prey of the attacking force In peace it will have noth- ing to fight but the elements.
