attention called to Baron Won
Steuben who was of such aid to US
in our Revolutionary War. At

our Colonial representatives in
France to come to the assistance
of the American people. He be

rendered his services .:.sl served
faithfully as an Inspector General,
organizing and disclpIining the
American army. He brought no
means with him, for his services
he was awarded several grants OF
land. one of, them in northern New
York where he spent the renAaind-
er of his life. He became the
American citizen. He is honored
in American history for his per-
sonal assistance to this country.
and for his personal character. It
was not Prussia nor Germany that
came to our assistance, but the in
dividual Baron Won Steuben. AS
there was no German EN- pire in
the territorial sense at that time,
it does not seem to us pertinent to
cite the individual Won Steuben in
defense of an Empire that came
into existence only after 1870, the
year of the Franco-Prussian war.

Editor, ToMAHAwK:
Your article in the last TOMA-
HAWK calls for 4 little comment
from me as regards your first par
agraph of "Our Grievances"
You say Germany was no friend
of ours. If you will look through
history and see where Baron Won
Steuben gave his time and money
to drill our troops, then in most
deplorable condition at Valley
Forge, at a time when Mr.. John.
Bull was trying to make us take
the count, you might think differ
emily.
You say Germany never liked
the Monroe doctrine. It. is safe to
say that none Of the European
monarchies liked it; even John
Bull. This is shown in the Ven
ezue|an controversy during Cleve-
lands administration. If you re-
member Grover |g.ve the British
lions tail a good twist at that
time.
g.. am simply writing this to
show that a few good and bad
things ought to be mentioned that
enemies ard friends do. What
did England try to do to US during
the civil war? Il.

Presents Protest to House
Committee on Indian
Affairs.
Washington, ID. G.,
Dec. 13, 1917.
Special to The TOMAHAWK.

Special to The ToMAuAwK.
John w. Carl, Vice President Of
the Chippewa General Council and
delegate to Washington for the
Tribe today appeared before the
House Committee on Indian Affairs
and presented vigorous protest
against the continued use Of the
trust funds of the Chippewa In
dams by the Indian Bureau in the
payment of the salaries and ex-
penses Of the Bureau force main
tanned on the reservation, and
which is an integral part of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The protest submitted by Mr..
Carl contains com plete review Of
the creation of the trust fund and
the limitations placed by the terms
of the trust Oh the use of'the mon
ey as construed by the highest
court in the land; the prot1igate
expenditure of the school funds,
and their unlawful diversion by
the Indian Bureau officials. Mr..
CARTS statement has attracted wide
attention among the memoers of
Congress, particularly those direct
ly connected with Indian affairs.
1t will be read with interest by
every member of the Chippewa
tribe. The Protest is of such length
that we are unable to publish it in
full. We merely give below the
total cost of maintaining tie Chip
pewa Indian schools, and all civil
service employees in the Chippewa
Indian Service in Minnesota:
