PEACE DECLARED
BETWEEN INDIAN
Tribes In Southern Alaska On Same
-~ Date The War Armistiee was
Signed.

! SlTKA, ALASKA, Dec. 31-War
mostly of the smoldering variety but
which in past generations has blazed
up and drawn blood, no longer exists
between the Sitka and Wrangell clans
of the Kock- Wan-Ton caste of the
Thilnket Indian tribe of southeastern
Alaska. Peace was declared at a
meeting November II, tn esame day
on which the world war armistice was
signed.
Democratic principles, taught the
younger Indians by the United States
government teachers, prevailed at the
peace conference. The Indian differ.
.ences, in,the future will be settled by
the white mans law, instead of by
hostilities.
No Indian now living can remem-
Der the time when the Sitkas and
Wrangells were at peace. There has
been bad blood between them for
years. The last futile attempt to
make peace took place in the early
eighties, when Jack Yaquan, father
of one of the delegates at the last
meeting, led his tribe of Sitkas to
Wrangell to make peace. A war cry
greeted their arrival and nearly all
the visitors were massacred by the
Wrangells. Chief Yaquan was among
the Sitkas killed,
Old men of the tribes, it is said, !
refused to let the hostility die and en-
deavored to keep alive the fires of
hatred. With the passing of many
of the old tribesmen, however, the .
young men, imbued with the ideas Of I
modern civilization taught them in
the government schools, decided they
wanted peace.
In 1917, Chief Shaks Of the Wrang
els opened peace negotiations with
Jack Yaquan Of the Sitkas. He urg
ed the sending of peace delegates to
Wrangell where, he proposed, the
leaders of the two clans should heal
the old wounds. So at the close Of
the fishing season delegation OF
Sitkas went to Wrangell and, after
a week of "pow-wows" decided to
let bygones be bygones and to abol-
ish the old customs. Chief Shaks,
the father of the peace move died be
fore the meeting was held.
So now there is peace on the north
ern waters and islands and the Sitkas
and Wrangells will no longer live IN
fear of each other When out on
their hunting and fishing trips or
when laying their winter trap lines
they will visit each other and he
be friends,

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
BY J. E. Jones.)

The present liberty loan drive lacks
nothing when measured by the yard
stick of preparedness. Secretary
McAdoo started the ball rolling at
Carnegie hell, in New York; and now
the secretary is giving direct personal
attention to the management of the
campaign throughout the country. Mr..
McAdoo is being compared with AL
exander Hamilton as a "great secre-
tary of the treasury" Hamilton fur
nIshed the formula for making money,
but McAdoo knows how to get the
money better than any other man who
has been at the head of the treasury.
Everyone should feel that every dol
lar they can spare should go into help
ing finance their country's needs. And
while buying bonds those who come
INTO possession of these securities
should Learn the necessity of caring
for them. Thousands of liberty bonds
have been reported as having been
NitAlSi looI VI SIolGN AND the whole
difficulty is due to the fact that many
holders do rot realize the necessity of
safeguarding their possessions. Many
patriotic banks have volunteered to
act as custodians Of these bonds, with
out charge to the owners. 1t is a
practice that might well be generally
adopted, especially in sections where
the possession of a safety deposit box
is not common. The government is
giving the people a chance to share in
liberty bonds on the largest scale yet
brought forward. The loan will go
over the top, just as have the ones
that have preceded it.
