Today We Celebrate
Battle of the Little Big Horn.

bdttlc OI tnS 1lttAc Dig f1Orn.
In the valley Of the Little Big Horn.
In Montana, just across the State line
from Sheridan, Wyo., stands a fine
monument which marks the site of
the most celebrated of Indian battles.
Today Is the forty-second anniversary
of that fierce conflict in which Custer
and his 276 soldiers were slain to q
man by the Sioux savages. In pale
face history this tragedy Is often de-
scribed as a massacre and the Indians
fare held up to execration. There are
at least two sides to every question,
however, and the Indian version has
been given us through the expedition
sent out several years ago by Rodman
Wanamaker, under the leadership of
DR.. Joseph Kossuth Dixon, for the
purpose Of perpetuating the life story
OF the original Americans. In his
book, The Vanishing Race" DR..
DIXON presented the Indian version of
the battle of the Little Big Horn.
we were pursued by the soldiers,
who were on the warpath," explained
Red Cloud, a Sioux Chief. I'VE were
driven out of the Black Hills by men
seeking gold and our game was driven
Off and we started on our journey in
search Of game. Our children were
starving and we had to have some
| thing to eat"
OF the battle itself Red Cloud said:
we fought this battle from day
light up to three o'clock in the after
noon and all of the white men were
killed. We kept circling around Gus
ter and his men and as they came
down the ridge we shot them down.
And then the rest dismounted and
gathered in a bunch, kneeling down
and shooting from behind their
horses l think Custor was a brave
| man to fight all these Indians with his
few men from daylight until the sun
was almost going down."
Another very interesting description
was given by Chief Two Moons, who
said:
THE whole valley was filled with
smoke and the bullets flew all about
us. making a noise like bees. When
all the white men were dead, we
Jumped off our horses, took their guns
and scalped them" AS one of the
causes of the deadly ferocity mani
tested by the Sioux, Two Moons ex-
! planned: AT Powder River the SOL
diers attacked our camp and destroyed
| everything and that made us mad.
When the soldiers came after us, on
the day of the Custer fight, we were
| ready to kill them all. The soldiers
were after us all the time and we had
to fight"
From the viewpoint of the untu-
tored savage, it was a case of mill
tary necessity and in the light of
events that have taken place in
France and Belgium the killing Of SOL
diers by warriors in open fights does
not seem so terrible, after all.

action lasted thruout the day, the
Italians making an advance along the

captured 1900 of the enemy. includ-
ing sixty officers. War material also
was taken, and havoc was spread

Spurred by Effort To RestOr

Baker Adherents Insist War
Council Bill Be Killed.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Under the
spur of appeal for unity and the
spirited war statement of Secretary
Baker, opponents of the Chamberlain
war cabinet" bill are now aroused to
a vigorous determination to kill the
measure.
The first assault will be made when
Senator Chamberlain brings up the
bill for consideration in committee
probably today or tomorrow. Some
senators had declared~ft was original
ly voted on favorably there WHEN
many members were absent.
In the meantime it Is likely the ad-
ministration will try to put silencer
on any effort to start an uproar in
the house, similar to tnat which broke
out in the senate.
Cancel House Speech.
Representative Glass, originally
slated to take up Bakers cause in
the lower branch, believes now he
won't speak. He cannot anyhow, he
says, without comment on Chamber
lain'-s remarks. tand the house rules
forbid criticism of the solons in the
other wing.
Every effort is now being made by
the administration to restore con-
fidence and harmony with belligerent
factions in congress. 1t appeared like
ly today that the big storm has blown
over-at least for the present-and
that the serious work of legislation
ahead will temporarily still further up
rising.
