HOLLAND AND BERLIN AGAIN REPORTED AT
 BREAKING POINT
RumOrs Current in London That Dutch Have Been Served with Demand Which Approaches an Ultimatum.

London, April 23.-The German ul- timatum to Holland, according to ad- wees received in London, demands the right to transit not only for civilian supplies and of sand and gravel through Holland,' but also for war materials. The privilege of transit is asked not only on the Dutch canals, hut also on the railways.
 Germany has never before made any claim of the right of transit for avowed war materials, and the yield ing of Holland on this point would be equivalent to the abandonment of Dutch neutrality.

The banner breaks in glory on the breeze
The rumpets sing from all their brazen throats
chorused chant of thrilling harmones,
The drumbeats throb amid the ringing notes
An echo, but growing echo; yes,
An echo that is flung from hill to plain
An echo that shall never grow the less,
Born from the chord that not struck in vain.
The diapason of the booming guns
Blends with the shriller sounding of the cheers
All, this had been foreheard by those great ones
Who planned the structure in the former years,
Who dreamed and dared, and gave of wealth and life
That this great nation-song should never cease
Who blent the surgng song of somber strife
With all the after croons of honored peacel
And so today the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their bloodbrothered east and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fullness of our faith is all expressed.
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When men for hearth and home and manhood warred-~
The truths nation has been bulded on.
And higher than the farthest reach Of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die
The flag of promise floats from sea 70 sea-
The buges shout in answer to the drum
And send sense of strength to you and me
From days that were, and are, and are to comet

Among the contingent of soldier
boys to go from Becke, and NAH

ed at Detroit Monday morning,
were the following White Earth
Chippewa young men: john &.
Roy, Charles and Louis Jackson,
William Keezer, Joseph Vizenor,

nor, Roman Perrault and Edward
Leith.
These young Chippewa boys,
with about two hundred more of
their kindreds, have enrolled them
selves to fight, and die if need be,
in defense of tue sacred cause of
Humanity, Liberty and World
Democracy" Their brethern,
members of the Legislative Com
mittee, General Council, Minneso-
Ia Chippewas, who are now at
Washington, are waging an equal
ly just and valient fight for hike
principles and speedy emancipation
from oppressive Indian Bureau
dominance ard the pernicious in
fuences of a restricted existence,
imposed by the ossific, discrim;n'
ating policy, of Governmental
wardenship.
D.: Since these young Chippewa
boys have been found worthy and
qualified to take their places in the
ranks of the soldiery of the Re.
public they should, in right and
justice, be accorded all the rights,
immunities and consideration be-
coming the loyal citizen of the
country, the principles of whose
institutions they are called upon
to defend. Let US play fair in this
proposition and avoid the further
continuance of debasing segrega-
ton policy in dealing with the
Indians, especially the Chippewas
of Minnesota.
Congress could do no more COM
mendable act than to pass and
approve H. r. 9253. This bill, if
it becomes law, will endow all

ings guaranteed within the broad
province of the ''unalienable
rights" of American freemen, of
which he, the Indian, is the only
true exponent.

Committee, the committee acted

Adams at a time when resident in
Germany (19l4) had the nerve to
ask that the statements Of the

this country as evidence that Ger
many did not start the European
war, and to this he added fulsome
praise of the kaiser and every
iunker German in that morally
rotten country. He is weaker
