man when he came to drive them out of their accustomed haunts. In their fighting against the white men they were capable of the great est cruelty, only surpassed by the present day Hun. Yet there was some excuse for their hendish actions, for they saw the lands that had been theirs and their fathers before them falling into the hands of the white man, while there seemed to be no room for them. They made a treaty with George Washington in 1783; they were declared a separate nation, and both parties to the treaty have respected this fact ever since.
 The Onondagas have a reservation near Syracuse, where they have some of the best and most modern farms in the State of New York. It is interesting to note that they also have considered it necessary to declare war against Germany because of insults to members of their nation. Seventeen of their number were imprisoned in Germany at the outbreak of the war, where they were en- gagged in circus They have never been released, so the nation has taken this means of showing its resentment of the action of Germany. Many of the native Americans throughout the whole country have shown great patriotism since the opening of hostli- ties. They have enlisted in the fighting fore es they have bought Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps to the utmost of their capacity They now have come out "on their own" and de- clared war on the German nation They will doubtless furnish many fighters of the cali bre of Jim Thorpe, whose fame as an athlete is world wide.
 They are real Americans in every sense of the word.

NATIVE AMERICANS DECLARE WAR

A real American nation has declared war on Germany. The Onondaga Indians have come out with a declaration of war because of wrongs which Germany has committed toward members of their tribe
 The North American Indian has had a most interesting history down to the present day. He was in sole possession of the conti- nent when the white man put in his appear ance. The Six Nations of the Iroquois, of which the Onondagas were one were on the highest plane of civilization of any of the red men. They had a dsfinite organization, were self-governing, had cultivated fields of Indian corn, and had improved methods of warfare. These Six Nations had banded to- gether for mutual protection against other Indians, and this very circumstance proved the means whereby they became more civi- lized than their brothers of the race It was because of this mutual protection afforded by their leaguing together that they were able to devote their time to peaceful pursuits, and improve their living conditions
 Each separate nation had council, in which all members of the tribe were privi- legged to sit. They elected representatives who were to sit in the council of the nations ill what was termed the 'Iong House" This

UPES OF THEIR OWN FOLLY

Kaiser Wilhelm has spent so much of
 ime and brain power trying to keep the
 lan people properly duped concerning the
 ress of the German arms that he Is ap-
 ntly falling for his own bluff himself. He
 makes the statement to the army and
 of Germany that they need not be
 ltened by the coming of the Americans
 ,urope; that the forces that are so vital
 he allies are being attacked by the sub
 ines, and they are certain to succeed in
 ping the Americans from counting. In
 1T words, he admits that he believes that
 submarines will keep the Americans from
 reaching France in sufficient numbers materially aid the allies.
 He has fallen a victim to his own bluff
 that has long been the claim of the Ger
 n government, with which it has attempted keep the people ill proper state of sub Eion. The morale of the Huns was affect by the rumors of the vast number of Am cans entering the war against them There re 1t was necessary that they should be ped into thinking that German submarine s master of the situation, and would at i'd to the Americans as fast as they could
 sail from this side. Recent comparative ures regarding the shipping and the sub urine give the direct lie to the kaiser's claration.
 Last year, for the month of June, e total loss to the allied shipping due to the bmarine was approximately 550OO0 tons lis year during the same month there was net gain of one hundred thousand tons over e loss due to the submarine In other ords, the losses due to the submarine are sing more than balanced by the increased .1tput of the shipyards of the allies. The ctual losses due to the submarine are much :ss than they were year ago. The sub larines themselves are being sunk faster than 1ey can be built.
 Thus it is very evident to us who are n possession of the truth that the unre- tricted warfare by the submarine is not the uccess that the Germans are trying to make themselves believe. It is just another instance f whistling to keep up their courage The aiser is doing the whistling both for himself nd for the entire German people. Soon he nay not even be able to keep up the whistle, or the truth will out eventually. They know hat the Americans are in Europe, for they It llldklllS lHelllSelVeS very 1nuCn III eV1QenCe t the present time
 The kaiser may be able to make himself elieve his colossal bluff, but he will have a ard time to make the soldiers who have aced the American Doughboy on the west rn front believe that the Americans are not rriving in France in sufficient numbers to 1ake any difference in the final outcome of he war. Such statements on the part of he German kaiser give Us real hopes for a peedy and victorious close of the war, for if hey are really believing. that the submarine 'ill bring them ultimate victory, what an Wful crash is due to come to them when they it up against the truth.

LINCOLN FLAMING
TORCH, SAYS I. ?.
Name Firing Patriotism Of Every
American, Says Irish Nat
ionalist

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-In Lin
coin day address here last night, mark
ing the celebration of the martyred
presidents 109th birthday anniversary
Thomas Power O'Connor, Irish nat
ionalist leader in the British parlia-
ment, declared the name Of Lincoln
to be flaming torch" firing the pat
riotism of every American whether at
home or facing death on the battle
fields of Europe. .-.. -.
what American can be cOwardly
when Lincoln's courage inspires?" de-
handed the speaker. what American
can be selfish when his unselfishness
is recorded on every page of history?
What American can prefer the claims
of ambition or party in the face Of
his forgetfulness of all personal and
partisan feeling before an imperilled
nation? What American can entertain
or even tolerate the thought Of d.
vided allegiance in the fact of his pas
sionate patriotism and of the inflexible
resolve with which he fought for a
united nation?
"Can any one doubt where he would
stand if in the crisis through which
the country is now passing he was
still it's ruler?

Was it not passionate love Of liberty
and passionate hatred of slavery?

law, and consequently must be subject
to decision of whatever form Of trl-
bunal finally determines the basis of
general peace.
Should Germany and Austria re-
solve to refuse to recognize the Boil
sheviki decree as terminating the war
without the confirmation OF that &C
ton by treaty in the usual form,
their armies would be in the position
of killing an unresisting and unaTmod
people, a proceeding regarded here
as to certain to cause trouble for the
Teutonic governments with their peo-
pie at home.
Doesn't Alter Conditions.
The United States never has recog-
niZed the BOlsheviki regime, and Rus.
sia's abandonment Of the war will not
alter existing relations. This was made
clear at the state department today,
where it also was stated that the for
nal signing of peace treaty by the
new government Of the Ukraine could
have no dependence effect so far IS
this government is concerned. The
first official intimation that peace had
been signed was received today from
Minister Vopicka at Jassy, Rumanla.
To Retain ConsuIs.
Such consular officers as the United
States happens to have in Ukrainian
territory will be retained at their
posts in accord with all usages in the
case Of the establishment of new gov
ernments, but this cannot be taken
to mean even a defacto recognition.
Official confirmation that either
France or Great Britain had recog-
nized the new Ukrainian government
was still lacking today.
The one clear thing in the whole
situation from a military point OF view
is that the struggle has narrowed
down to the western front, OF which
the Italian theatre already has been
officially recognized as portion by
the allied chiefs. The final test OF
arms is to come on that front.

RUSSIAN PEACE
! NO BIG FACTOR
ON WEST FRONT
No Discouragement With Opening
of Great Campaign Appar-
z emily in Sight
PRISONERS ARE NOT FEARED
Million and Half Men From Pris-
on Camps Not in Shape
~ to Fight

Washington D. c., Feb. 13.-With
the opening of the great campaign OF
1913 on the western front apparently
within sight, military men here eX-
amined today with profound interest
the situation created by the signing of
a peace pact between the central
powers and the New Ukraine repub-
lie and the decision Of the Bolsheviki
Russian government to stop fighting
and demobilize the army.
Their conclusions were not discOur-
aging. These events on their face
would appear to set free enormous
German forces for the impending bat
tie in the west and also to furnish
new sources of food supply for the
Teutonic allies, but many factors de-
tract from the advantages the cen
trail powers may derive.
fS Prisoners Not Available
a. One of the threats against the west
,ern front dwelt upon in public dis
cussion is the fact that presumably
100000 prisoners of war held in
Russia would be released to strength
en- the German army. The fact is said
to be, however, that the great major
yity of the soldiers captured by the
Russians are Austrians, not available
for western front operations by pres
ent indications. Any men from the
prison camps are regarded as of doubt
ful military value for some time to
come, as the Russians, unable to feed
their own soldiers, hardly have i'm
proved the health of their captives.
There is doubt here. also, as to the
extent to which the agricultural re-
sources of the Ukraine or of Russia
can be brought to the aid of the Ger
man people in the near future. Fail
ure of the Russian transportation sys
tenn worked in Germany's interest in
undermining the fighting power of the
Russian armies. The same agency
now, necessarily, works against the
central powers in it's desire to get out
food supplies.
Rehabilitation of the Russian army
swill not mean that the Austro-German
Bulgaria forces on the frontier can
be wholly withdrawn. There will be
"a constant threat of renewed hostil.
lilies, and the Teutons must see to it
that ample force is always at hand.
II Faces Difficult Problem.
In fact, diplomatic observers say
Germany is confronted with the most
a;Mo,,H ond 1,nnrocodpnted nrOb1om
she has met during the present war
as a result of the declaration that Rus.
STA has abandoned hostilities without
the signing of a peace treaty. The re
fusal Of the Russians to sign any
treaties alternating the Prussian west
sern provinces, the diplomats point out
will leave the central powers without
any legal claim to their possession
German and Austria tenure will rest
entirely upon the assertion Of force,
without recognition Of international

GOAT GETTING IS
BANNED IN MAJOR
National League Decides to More
Rigidly Enforce Coaching
a, I'D. E,.11as IA

New York, n. Y, Feb. 13.--When
the club owners ofEathe National
League ended their first session Of the
regular annual. two days schedule
meeting today, very little OF, the pro.
ceedings, announced by Secretary
John A. Heydley,. was. of more than
passing interest to the followers OF
baseball The playing schedule for
the coming season, IN which there are
only three conflicting dates on the
two major circuits, was adopted.
The championship season opens on
April rs and closes in the eastern cit
les October and in the west on the
following day. -
Tke board of directors ratified Pres
ident Tener's appointments of umpires
as follows:
Robert Emslie, w. J. Klein, Henry
O'Day, Charles Pigler,. w. J. Byron, E.
G. Quigley, Peter A. Harrison and
Charles B. Moran. ...
Chicago Claim Denied.
The directors refused to allow the
Chicago clubs claim of $1,000 paid as
salary to an injured player, Victor
Safer, from the date that the Pitts
burgh club claimed him. The player
remains with Pittsburgh and Chicago
loses the money. A more strict en-
forcement of the coaching rules was
recommended so that "goat, getting
tactics from the coaching lines or the
players benches will be eliminated
as far as possible in future.
A reimbursement of official salaries
was confirmed during the regular
league meeting but just how far this
retrenchment went was not made
known.
