Armed Vehicles Failed.

In 1874, when Holland attempted
to invade France by sea she furnished
the expedition corps with large num-
bers Of armed vehicles, which were con-
ceived with the idea Of arresting the
rushes Of the cavalry. In addition
there were companies of grenadiers
provided with grenades not dissimilar
In principle from those Of today. How
ever, in landing on Belle Isle they
were hurled back by the Bretons and
their carts and grenadiers forced into
the sea.

Saturday evening rousing patriotic
meeting was held at the Sam Hammer
beck school house south of the city.
The school room was decorated with
flags, bunting, Red Cross and War Saw
ing Stamp posters.
The meeting was held as a sort of
celebration of the fact that the Ameri-
ca First organization of Little Falls
town had finished their canvass for
signers to the patriotic pledge and re-
ported the town 100 per cent loyal.
The chairman of the meeting, Sam
Hanlmerbeck, gave a talk on the
splendid organization Of the township
and Of the results obtained.
The speakers Of the evening, Mrs.
Cochrane, county chairman of the Red
Cross, Rev. Gregory, Chas Sylvester
and R. B. Willard.
The first speaker introduced was
Chas. Sylvester, who eomplimented the
major of the township, Sam Hammer
beck, on the efficiency Of his organi-
cation, and the splendid work they
have done. The speaker also urged
every one to do their bit to help win
the war.
Mrs. Cochrane spoke on the wonder

a membership of 100000 few months
ago it had grown to giant size and
now numbered over 100000 mem

splendid work on the battle fields of
Europe.
Rev. Gregory gave patriotic talk,
stating in clear terms why we were in
the war, our duty as citizens of the
greatest country in the world. We
should not only send our boys and men,
but our dollars. It would seem as
though few here and there thought
more Of their dollars than Of the lives
of the men.
The speaker said that there was a
general belief that this frightful war
began in the summer Of 1914, when in
fact it began in 1892. In that year
the kaiser called 500 representative
men of the German empire to the pal
ace of Potsdam and laid before them
plan for world domination. The might

be built up, put in readiness and at the

break the Prussian war machine, and
make the world safe for democracy.
r. B. Willard gave short talk on
the America First organization and a
plan by which drive could be put
through in Morrison county.
Suppose Little Falls town Was asked
to raise $1,000, the major, Sam Ham
merbeck, would call his captains and
lieutenants together, give them their
instructions and the amounts allotted
to each to raise. Each officer wou, !
have his own district in the town
which he could cover in few hours.
The results would then be reported
to the major and by him reported in to
the secretary Of the county unit. With
this efficient organization a Liberty
Loan, Y. NJ. C. A. or Red Cross drive
could be put on and finished in a very
short time.
The speaker said we should all be

county and its people were dedicated
to the cause of liberty.
Miss Lewfeld, the teacher of the dis
trict, and the school children sang a

The meeting ended about IL O'Clock,
all feeling that Little Falls town had
reason to be proud of The record made
and the splendid showing Of loyalty.

en- from the tribal rolls. Hinton
and the Indian Bureau concluded
that where an Indian woman mar
ried 4 white man, or Indian man
married q white woman and they
left the Indian country that their
children were not entitled to share
in the annual interest payments or
in the final division of the trust
fund. The legislative committee
have taken up with the Depart
ment this question and in vigor-
GUS protest filed, the Committee
says5in part:
There was no provision in
the agreement of 1889 that limited
a right in the interest money or in
the division of the principal fund
to those Indians and their ISSUE
who remained on their allotments,
and yet the Indian Bureau and its
officers in Minnesota have by their
practice written this additional
srequirments into the law. The re-
Suits that by denying the children
of enrolled parents born outside
the sallotted territory enrolment
on the newborn rolls'' the Indian
Bureau is denying to the child of
every parent who leaves the In
dian country any distributive share
in the interest payments and in
the division of the principal fund
as the rolls arc used as q basis for
payments.
"This action, in our opinion, has
been designedly taken by the In
dian Bureau employees in Mime
sofa in defiance of law and the long
established policy of the govern
ment in encouraging Indians to
abandon their tribal relations and
seek homes among the white
people, Why has this been done9

allotted territory, and discoursg
ing them from leaving it, this great

seed to put in this years crop, and
Hinton's action had been approved
by the Indian Bureau. When the
delegation presented the matter
telegraphlc order was sent to Hin
ton to furnish Mrs. Bray so much
of th9 funds of her minor children
as was necessary to purchase seed
and to put the land into cultiva-
ton, and directing him to pursue
similar policy with reference to
all other cases of simila: nature.
Recently Ed. Rogers, County
Attorney for Cass County, applied
to Hinton for the money of his
minor children which was being
withheld. Hinton promptly de-
MED the request, and Hinton's
action was concurred by the Indian
Bureau. Ed. Rogers appealed to
Congressman Miller. Congress-
man Miller wrote a stinging letter
to the Commissioner. When the
Commissioner received Congress-
man Miller's letter he promptly
reversed the action previously
taken and wired Agent Hinton to
deliver over to Ed. Rogers the
money of his children. The dele
CATION is insisting that the Indian
Bureau shall adopt similar course
with reference to the funds of all
minor children being withheld.
These are only few of the
matters the delegation has attended

machinery for our support and
civilization can be perpstuated.
When our people leave the allotted
territory these men know that the
pretext upon which this great ma
chine for our alleged support and
civilization has been constructed
and maintained, will have disap-
peared, and that these men must
then hunt other jobs. They are
now receiving Indian money! and
Indian money is easy money. BY
these methods our people are en-
couraged to remain in the Indian
country a. Indians and their pro-
gress and advancement is seriously
Retarded"
When this matter was brought
to the attention of the Secretary a
telegram was promptly sent to
Agent Hinton to suspend action in
all cases in which notice had been
sent to the parents of minor child
rem requiring them to show cause
why the names of their minor
children should not be stricken
from the rolls, and the issuance of
further notices prohibited pending
q consideration of the matter.
The delegation has also taken up
with the Department the matter
of the Withholding by Agent Hin
ton and others from the parents of
the moneys standing to the credit
of the minor children. The Indian
Bureau is in q hot box. 1t is at
tempting to justify its course. The
Department, however, is causing
the Indian Office to Timber up.

the case of Mrs. Peter Bray of
