Merchant Ships
.(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. LIN accord
ance with the pre-arranged plan for
the navy to take over control Of all
shipping engaged In transporting
troops and war supplies orders have
been issued by the navy department
calling several thousand reservists
into active duty. The number call
ed, it was stated officially today, was

ganized into crews which will be
utilized to replace the civilian sailors
now manning the troop and supply
ships, and for the vessels constantly
being turned over to the navy under

Indians Doing
Bit Tn France
fBv Annotated Press.l

Bemidti. Mimi, July 26.-Word
from the French battle front that
American Indians have done their Bit
in the terrific drive OF the Americans
and French in the Scissors Chateau
Thierry Rheims sector, has brought
a thrill Of satisfaction to this part OF
the country.
Bemidji ig one OF the centers OF
Indian population in the northwest.
The Chippewas were among the
first to go and scores of other In
dams went with them. When the
council Of Minnesota Indians was
held here recently, the delegates
proudly wore their service pins.
Every tribe had it's men at the front.
Directly north of here 10 the Red.
Lake reservation. To the west is
the White Earth Indians location.
FROM there, westward through
Montana, are the reservations on
which several thousand Indians live.
Ripening grain, herds Of cattle and
the whirr Of farm machinery tell of
the activities Of the men and women
at home. III
Varied ceremonies marked the
departure Of Indian soldiers for their
training camps during the past
year. Many OF the sons Of noted
warriors left home quietly; other
youths were honored by native
dances and clashing music Few In
dams have been rejected for physi-
cal disabilities and large percent
age Of reservation men enlisted
voluntarily.
Until the dispatches were received
this week. telling how the Indians
crossed rivers and approached Ger
man positions without being detect
ed there was some doubt as to where
the Northwest Redmen, known to be
in France, were stationed. Although
the war department has not definite
ly identified the scouting contin-
gents. no doubt seems to exist in
this district. --e
Each tribe is claiming the heroes
as its own.

GIVE GERMANY

Bolsheviki Relinquish AL
Claims to the Baltic
AL. Provinces
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. Complete
submission Nof the Bolshevik gov
eminent to designs of Germans of
the great western provinces Of Rus
STA appears to have been the out
come of conference which has just
been held between Russian and Ger
man delegates for the ostensible
purpose Of constituting the peace
treaty Of Brest- LAtovsk.
Gable dispatches recently an
nounced an agreement between
these delegates without indicating
its nature.
From Zurich today came the state
ment that the result Of the con-
ference was a formal remuneration
by the Soviet government of any
claims to theS great provinces Of
Esthonia and Livonia. In consequ-
ence Cougland would be detached
from the military administration Of
Oberost and united to Livonia and
Esthonia in order to form a general
government which would be a step
ping stone for the ultimate incor-
poration Of the Baltic provinces with
Germany.
The temporary occupation by Ger
man troops Of Esthonia and Livonia,
thus would be made permanent.
