the American Indian has little ten
dency to fight in the company of his
fellows nowadays. He joins the white
mems organizations, but forms mono
of his own. He seems to realize that
the tribal days are over. The Nomad
can remember when separate Indian
companies were formed and added to
regiments of the United States regu-

The Indians were brave, of course
no one ever questioned that-but their
idea of discipline was very different
one from the regular army's, and they
never came rigidly under the regula-
tions. Moreover. they insisted upon be-
ing accompanied by their wives and
families wherever they went This
demand on their part was com
piled with for time, but the
system did not work we'll. After
a year or two of the experiment
the Indian companies were disbahded.
