the public press, journals and
magazines have been replete with
encomium and laudation, citing
many brilliant deeds of bravery,
daring and heroism of these
doughty warriors as are engaged
on the French battle front. And,
it is reported. that the Kaiser,
commenting ON the signal intripid-
ity, soldierly efficiency and dead
shot quality of these noble scions
of American royalty. was led to

!. 4 Il. FULL CITIZEN?

Mr.. Ralph E. Renaud, from the
CommitteeA0n Public Information,
Washington, D. c., ina commend
able article, entitled, Red Men
Yearn to put Indian Sign on
KAISER" published in the Mime
apolis Sunday Tribune. Aug. IL,
1918, says among other things:
':None of the many races which
mingle in the American melting
pot have 4 better Liberty Bond
record than the Indians. They are
not the wealthiest people of the
world, but on the three loans they
have managed to subscribe more
than $l3, 900, 600 between $50 and
SO per capita,'' for the Indian
population Of the United States.
In the second Liberty Loan the
subscription of the village OF
White Earth alone exceeded over
$500 per capita. Continuing his
encomiastic narr alive the author
states that: ~: p. ..
The total Indian population of
the United States is only 335, 1913.

Concerning the last paragraph,
quoted above, The ToMAHAwk IS
constrained to interpose a denial
in 20 far as the Minnesota Chip
pewas are concerned, especially
the people of White Earth. - 1t is
conceded that 90 per cent of the
Chippewas have received their
allotments of land, are progressive
and self-supporting and their
children are attending the public
schools and, at the present time, It
is estimated that fully 40 per cent
of the fighting strength of the
young men of the Cnippewas are
IN the military and naval service
of the United States, many OF them
actively engaged on the French
front, yet notwithstanding these
potsnt facts these people are alb
solutely denied the privilege of q
word concerning the disposition OF
their tribal, trust or minor child
ren,s funds. The WITHHOLDING Of
any privilege which tends to de
pre,s the full enjoyment of the

PRESIDENT TO OPEN alG
4TH LIBERTY BOND DRIVE

WASHINGTON Sept. 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson will launch the Fourth
Liberty loan campaign with an sd-
dress Friday night in New York
city. The president previously had
decided that he could not leave
Washington to make an extended
speaking tour on behalf of the loan,
but he consented today to speak on
the eve OF the opening of the three
weeks drive.
Final preparations for the cam.
paign went steadily ahead today.
Treasury department officials took
cogniZsnce of widespread reports
that no subscriptions of less than
1900 would be accepted for the
fourth loan and that no $50 bonds
would be issued. AS proving the
falsity OF these rumors officials
pointed to the fact that a large pro-
portion of $50 bonds have been
printed this time than ever before
and to the additional fact that loan
committees have instructions 10

COMPLAINS OF LACK
OF Q. S. ATTENTION.

AMSTERDAM. Sept 25.-Coun'
Won Hertling, the German imperia
chancellor, in addressing the reich.
stag main committee, complained oil
the lack OF attention his asquies'
ences In the four points laid down
by President Wilson as peace es-
sentials, had met from the Ameri-
can executive.
The chancellor asserted that on
February % OF this year he declared
in the reichstag his agreement in
principle with the possibility OF dis
cussing a general peace on the ba-
sis OF the four points of President
Wilson's message OF February'2, but
that President Wilson, neither at
that time nor since, hac taken any
notice OF the chAncellor's declara-
ton.
Count Won Hertling continued by
declaring that he favored the forma-
ton OF league of nations. the pro-
motion OF universal, successive dis
armament in equal proportions, the
establishment OF obligatory courts
OF arbitration, the freedom OF the
seas and the protection of small ma
tions.
Chancellor Won Hertling in the
course OF his speech vigorously de-
Tended Germany's action toward
Belgium. He admitted that in in
vading Belgium, Germany trans
gressed the written law, but he said:
"As for individuals so is there
also for states. another law. That
is the law OF self-defense."
He repeated the German conten-
ton that there we've grounds for the
fear that the enemy would Invade
Belgium and referred TO alleged
proofs from Belgian archives OF
Belgium's dubious neutrality. He
also alluded to offers of peace to
Belgium before the invasion and
again after the capture OF Lege.
which Belgium refused TO entertain.
In all future fighting between the
east and west the imperial chancel-
lor said It would be solely a ques-
tion of defense
He also declared that the subma-
rine warfare is slowly but surely
diminishing allied tonnage.
