indian COUNCIL
MEETING AT CROW CREEK WILL
TAKE UP PLANS TO RECOV-
ER FOR BLACK HILLS.

Pierre, Feb. ia general coun-
Gil of all Sioux Indians from the diff
ferent reservations has been author
lied to meet at Crow Greek some
time early the coming summer to
formulate their claims for compensa-
ton for the Black Hills section OF
the state which they claim they have
never received anything for, and
which was taken for white settlement
without proper consent of the In
dams. A central organization of
Sioux Indian leaders has been work
ing on this plan for several years and
this is the first official notice which
the Indian department has taken OF
their activity in this direction. Local
councils Of the different reservations
will be held to secur and arrange
for sending delegates to this general
meeting, and the meeting this pur-
pose on Cheyenne river reservation
will be held at LaPlant on March IL.
At the same time and place a general
business council meeting of the In
dams OF that reservation will be held
to discuss plans in relation to leasing
and general tribal interest for the
year.

WILSON'S Terms
THE KAISER DECLARED TO
HAVE EXPRESSED APP
PROVAL.

Zurich, Switzerland, Feb. 15.-The
people of Germany no longer expect
victory. The best they hope for is
the exhaustion of the Allies before
Germany is compelled to sue for
peace. The masses have been told SO
often that an offensive would bring
immediate peace that they are begin
ming to feel duped and angry.
l understand that President Will
sons speech made a deep impression
in Germany and probably will bear
future fruit.
On the most reliable authority |
learn that the kaiser himself openly
declared Wilson's terms were reason
able enough to form the basis for ne
gotiations.
Wilhelm. however, is without in
fluence. I am told that while openly
opposed to the extremes to which the
war party is leading the empire, he
does not murmur, as Hindenburg and
Ludendorff are his absolute masters.
Travellers agree that 80 per cent of
the German people have lost their
enthusiasm for war. The sole topic
of conversation is food and peace.
People are asking What is the
good of launching another often
sive?" Many of them know Amer
lea, because they lived and worked
there. These say the United States
will continue the crusade 100 years
IL necessary.
Everything points in the same d.
rection-the Central Empires are
economically and generally in such a
turmoil that all the Allies need do to
win the war Is to keep equitable war
aims before the world and hold their
own on the west front.

The bills are physically genuine.
Their introduction has greatly mud
died the money situation in Russia,
especially in the border provinces.
1t naturally increases the likelihood
of a general reputation of Russian
currency.
Russian bank notes have always
been popular, not only with natives
but with all Slavic peoples. They are
among the finest specimens of en-
craving among paper money in the
world. They are about four times
the size of our money, and bear an
excellent portrait of Catherine the
Great.

Large quantities Of these notes are

There is no assurance that this

by another circumstance.
