INDIANS PLEAD
PATRIOTISM THEME OF TALKS
AT OPENING MEETING OF
SOCIETY AT PIERRE.

Pierre, Sept. 28.-The general
tone Of the first meeting Of the So
ciety of American Indians, which was
held in the hall of the house Of rep
resentatives, was that of patriotism
and A~mericanism and a plea running
through 1t all for equal educational
privileges to place the Indian on the
same educational plane as the white
man, in his striving for a living for
himself and family. Among the In
dian speakers Of last evenings ses-
sion were DR.. Carlos Montezuma, an
Apache, who is one OF the leaders in
Indian movements of the country,
whose general talk was a plea to al
low the Indian to work out his own
salvation without the interference of
the Indian department.
The Sioux takers were Mrs. Cert
rude Bonnin. of Washington: Ben
Brave, Of Lower Brule, and Henry
Standing Bear, of Pine Ridge. all
talking along the line Of Indian edu-
cation as the one element which
needs more attention from the gov
eminent. Mrs. Bonnin covered the
patriotic feature, which Is shown by
the volunteer enlistment OF more
than 5000 Indians in the American
army, most OF whom are now at the
front and giving good accounts Of
themselves in the war for human
rights and liberty.
Gov. Norbeck opened the meeting
with an address OF welcome to the
delegates to the former land OF the
Sioux and was followed by G. e. De-
land, Rev. Riggs and Supt. Crandall.

LIEUT.. JOE MATTHEWS
DESCRIBES SEA TRIP TO FRANCE
AND SCENES UPON
ARRIVAL.

Sept. S.--Dear Folks: Have ar
rived safely in France and am feeling
just splendid. 1 enjoyed the trip
across greatly, nothing like seasick-
ness developed and we saw nothing
that looked at all like a sub Ev-
cry precaution was taken for our
safety and the navy sure handles
things great. Everything possible
was done to make 1t pleasant for us
while crossing. We had violin, piano
and Victrola music during the dinner
hour each night and some very fine
singing. The band gave a concert
each night on deck. A small paper
was published on board every day
and / will send some to you as soon
as ! can. Some OF the items will tell
you of the various things that took
place during the trip.
Upon our arrival here, we unload
ed, marched about five miles to an
open field and made camp for the
night. AS our bed rolls didn't get
to us, we had the privilege of sleeping
on French soil, with a raincoat for a
mattress and overcoat for a blanket.
We have moved to a temporary camp
now, near a village of about 1900
population. All buildings are of
stone or cement. The streets are
about the width OF a good sidewalk
In the u. s. A. However, the country
Is beautiful and looks almost like a
garden, divided off into plots by
earth walls with bushes growing on
top. Most of the country is in terri
BILE shape now though and makes one
appreciate the good old u. 8. A. We
certainly have a wonderful country,
people and government, and it's up
to us to fight for its protection. /
can see our mission here is a neces-
sary one. | haven't seen a middle
aged man here yet, but the streets
are lined with old people and chill
dren begging for pennies.
Once a week they have market day
and this happened to be the day. 1t
looked rather queer to see people
coming to town carrying a chicken or
two or leading a pig on the end OF a
rope. The merchants have their
goods all out on stands in the street.
The people OF this village gave a re-
ception for the American officers last
evening. The marie" gave a talk in
French and u colonel responded In
French. 1t was all very fine.
Meals are somewhat different than
we are used to, but very good. / am
boarding at a small boarding house
with IL other officers. We get moth
ing with sugar in. but have soup,
meat, potatoes, bread and sometimes
butter.
We are very busy training and ex-
pect to be moved on to another camp
soon. I have everything I need SO
don't try to send me anything only
lots OF letters. Love and regards to
all.-Lieut. Joe q. Matthews. Sth
