PEACE LEAGUE AMONG INDIANS
Delawares Long Acted as Arbiters Un-
til Deposed by the MiIitaristic
lroquois Five Nations.

The American Indians did not
know any way to make peace effec-
tive except by appeal to their wom7
en-. To ask for peace was thought
to be SO unworthy of a male that un-
less women intervened there was
nothing for it but to fight on to cx-
tinction. The Five Nations cstab-
lished their peace woman in a fort
near Niagara river in a long house
divided in the middle by a curtainl
She would receive the contending
parties each unknown to the other,
and after she heard their cases, would
draw back the curtain and give her
decision.
The idea Of woman as the proper
arbiter prevailed in the famous in
ternational agreement between the
lroquois and the Lenni-Lenapc At
this time the courteous and peace
LOVING Dclawares were induced to be-
come arbiters BY being made women.
This role Of International peace
maker was carried out by the Della
wares for long with dignity and sue
cess. But finally the pacific Della
wares did something which was ml-
pleasing to the militaristic Five Ma
tions of the Iroquois. Whcreupon
the Five Nations sent them word
that the Delawares had lost their
right to Independent action. And
so ended the first international peace

Outlook.

November Milk Prices.

The price of milk In Greater Boston
will be 16 1.2 cts. per quart delivered to
family trade and 18 cts. per quart ut
stores, during November.
The producers will get 9 "a cts. per
quart delivered at Boston. There will
be no discount to dealers for carrying
surplus. These figures were announced
last Friday by the Regional Milk Com.
mission for New England, . part OF the
National Food Administration, at the
conclusion of lengthy hearings, wherein
the cost of production was proven
through thousands of sworn statements
by actual producers and the costs Of
distribution by the evidence Of dealers.
The New England Milk Producers
Association, which represents the pro-
ducers in these hearings, has asked the
commission to establish system OF cost
accounting to be put In operation on the
farms OF its members, with view to
determining how, II possible, production
costs can be reduced. The scarcity and
high price Of labor and grain are driving
COWS from the farms Of New England
and even high prices for milk will not
bold them II labor and feed are not to be
had.

Service, was here In the furthersnce of
bis work. He il director for Maine of
the special division OF the health service
which has to do with the dangers from
venereal diseases. Along these lines he
gave some very plain talk to the boys,
warning them Of the temptations they
will encounter, the seriousness of these
diseases, and the menace which they are
to the healthfulness and efficiency of the
army, and he gave some figures backing
up bis statements which are almost start

In addition to this, there was pre-

prepared by the government, entitled
"Fit to Fight" which illustrates and

OF the local board and others connected

sentatives, and q few specially invited
