CAPT AB. -:|I' VEL y e. CHI H !. i.
SUCCEEDS CHIEF CR AS

Mandan, N. D., June ia white
man is to rule in the council house OF
the Sioux tribe of Indians where
Gaul, John Grass and a long line OF
chiefs before them once presided.
With the death of Chief John Grass,
his mantle is to fall upon the shoul
ders of Captain A. B. Welch, of Man
dan, adopted son of the departed
chieftain and the only white ever
adopted into the tribe.
When he was adopted, Captain
Welch chose the name of Mato-Wat-
akpe, which was the Sioux war name
of John Grass and means Charging
Bear Captain ,Welch is in France
with the United States fighting for
ces, and is an aid on the staff OF
Major General Hunter Liggett. Albert
Grass, grandson of the dead chief,
is serving in the same division.
While there were once four, chief
tatns OF the Sioux, only one line re-
mains, and, all the, sons Of John
Grass being dead, Captain Welch, by
reason Of being an adopted son, takes
precedence over grandson in the d.
rect line.
Although the chief Of today has
not the same powers OF the chief OF
years gone by, the title gives him
the respect OF the Indians and they
recognize him as their leader. A
chief still represents his tribe in all
the disputes or. conferences with the
government.
The body OF the old chief has been
laid in the cemetery at Fort Yates.

.HEAV West AT TACK
YET TO COME,
LONDON BELIEF
Military Experts State Ger
mans Have Gained Unex-
! pected Success in Their
First Drives, But Greatest
Attacks Are Yet to Come.
(By the Associated Press)

June Tuesdays Ger
man official statement would seem to
bear the Interpretation that the Ger
man high command considers that
the objects of it's latest offensive al
ready have been attained, and that
now the French are making success
full counterattacks, the thrust will not
be pursued further.
The great question to military
critics here is whether General Luz
dendorff's plans yet are fully repealed
and if the foregoing Interpretation is
correct it would bear out the view
held by military experts that the
great stroke of the Central Powers
on the western battle front is still to
come. 80 sst ).
The theory advanced by these ex-
perts is that the big offensives Of
March 21 and May q both; developed
successes far SURPRISING the anticipa-
ton of the German high command
and were developed much farther
than originally intended. And that
the small offensives on April 8 on: the
kYpres front and the present thrust
on: the Noyon Montdidier front were
engaged in a diversion to keep the
Franco British forces engaged and to
prevent them making counterattacks.
while the Germans we're restoring
and consolidating their lines, repair
ing confusion and disorders produced
by the unexpected depth of their adj
vance and completing the prepare
tions, for their next blow. The ex-
ponents TO this theory point to the
fact that the Germans sstiM have :
Large number OF fresh divisions ready
to throw: into the gigantic : struggle
ana that Austria's power Is still un-
used.
The opinion is advanced that 1t will
not be long before the heaviest at
tack yet seen will be launched by the
Germans, probably against the Brit
ish front with the object again to di-
vide the allied lines and reach the
channel ports.

GERMAN FLEET I; TO COME
OUT, LATEST RUMOR

Washington, June ~. Further
evidence that Germany, in its efforts
to end the war this summer, is plan
ming to support it's land offensive
sending its high seas forces against
the combined British and American
grand fleet, is given in an official dis
patch today from Switzerland.
"a telegram of an official nature
says the dispatch, .'is being spread
broadcast in Germany which says the
German admiralty is considering 9
big naval offensive. Orders are sup
posed to have been given to keep the
whole fleet in readiness and a GER
tain number Of naval officers of high
rank have been hurriedly recalled
from Switzerland and other neutral
countries where they have been
spending their leave"
The Keller Zeitung speaks of an
extraordinary activity in the ports
and the Hamburger Post publishes
an interview with Won Tirpitz, who
was asked If Germany was in posi-
tion to measure herself with the Eng
lish fleet. The admiral said that afS-
Ter their land forces have pushed the
French and English back on the other
side of Paris, it would be the turn OF
the kaiser's boats to drive the Eng
lish off the high seas.
