FRENCH CAPITAL IS NOW m
THE MOST IMMINENT
DANGER.
STRUGGLE IS BITTER


Late war dispatches
indicate that the Germans
are headed for Paris, and
state that, should they
fail to reach the French
capital, they hope to get
sufficiently near to bonn
bard the city. The Allies
are doing their best TO
hold the Teutons back,
however, and while the
situation is grave, it IS
hoped that the enemy
will be checked before
the end in view can be
accomplished.
Allied re S j S tance
against the Germans on
the Aisne-Marne battle
front is now stiffening
a n d effective counter
measures were employed
along the left flank, south
.of scissors.
The French recaptured
important ground, throw
ing the Germans back on
the Crise river.
The Germans were
prevented from debouch-
ling westward from the
Soissons- Chateau Thier-
Try road.
All of the German eff
forts to force a passage
of the Marne river have
been repulsed.
The allied forces still
c lin g tenaciousIy to
Rheims, although the
Germans are making saw
age assaults along the
line of Dormans and
Rheims.
The Germans have ap.
lparently been able to ex-
tend their frontin the dis
Itrict Immediately north
|of the Marne, but they
have not yet reached the
Paris Chalons railway,
nor have they been able
to fight their way in to
ChateauThierry although
the French positions in
that sector have been
violently shelled.
Although the Germans
made a big gain in their
dash southwark from the
heights Of the Aisne,
reaching the Marne, they
are still about Is miles
from the line Of the far
thest advance they made
in the fall Of 1914, when

THE CARTER BILL.
Continued from 1st Page.)

by made available for such pur'
pose The term of office of each
commissioner shall be two years
during which time such work shall
be completed, at the end of which
time all of such commissions shall
be abolished.
Sec. 6. That it shall be the duty
of such commission to visit in per.
son each Indian reservation and
other community in the United
States where Indians have been or
may hereafter be allotted lands and
whenever practicable the home OF
each such Indian of one-half or
more Indian blood with a view to
establishing the capabilities of each,
removing restrictions from his
land and other property. and de-
livering to him a patent in fee if
he is adjudged to be competent by
such commission.
Sec. 7. That each commission
shall make a detailed report to
Congress annually on the first
Monday in December setting forth
the progress of the work, showing
the number of applications receiv-
ed, those favorably acted upon, and
those rejected on each Indian res
ervation and in each community
where lands have been or may
hereafter be allotted to Indians,
and shall further report the num-
Der of reservations and commune
ties where lands have been, or may
hereafter be, allotted to Indians
but not reached by their investi-
cations, and any other data that
may assist Congress to deal intelli
gently with the question of com
potency and incompetency of In
dians.'
Judging from the many express
sions Of approval heard concerning
the merits of the above bill, we are
inclined to the conviction that the
people, generally, are heartily in
favor of the measure providing it
is amended on one or two points,
viz: by eliminating all illusions to
mixed or full blood Indians and
provide for "self-supporting In
dams instead. Then again instead
of lone to be a member of the
Board of Indian Commissioners, y
amended so as to read, lone to be
a member appointed by the Gov
ernor Of the State wherein the
Indians reside, etc The above sug-
gestions were recently embodied in
a letter written t" Hon. Charles
D. Carter, NJ. c., who introduced
the bill in Congress, and We here
with publish the gentleman's reply
thereto:

We regret to note that the erst-
while peaceful mental equanimity
of Mr.. James l. Coffey, ex-nember
of the Legislative Committee,
General Council Minnesota Chip
pewas, seems so seriously perturb'
ed; on the other hand we are
L1GHT-E d to grant his per
emptory request for information,
etc., and as outlined in his letter,
noted above.
During the latter part of Janu
airy, 1913, information was re-
ceived by members of the White
Earth local council that the said
James l. Coffey, aforesaid, bad
written to leading men of several
bands residing on the White Earth
reservation and which letters were,
in the main, refractory in, nature
and defamitory against the loyal
members of the Legislative dele:
gates of the General Council, Min
nesota Chippewas, and condemna,
tory of the labors, efforts and
purposes of the said Committee
aud from which he had resigned a
short time previous; that the said
letters suggested, among other
things, the convening of councils
at different points on the reserva'
ton, and for said councils to frame
resolutions antagonist to the
labors and efforts of the said Leg
is!ative Committee.
The White Earth local council
appointed Mr.. Geo. A. Berry and
directed him to proceed to Pine
Point and inform himself of the
true purport of the letters in ques-
ton and he discovered that letter,
signed by James l. Coffey, had
been received by Ah-bow-e geshig,
one of the leading men of the Pine
Point bands and confirming the
reported activity of the said James
l. Coffey; that a coupcil had been
called 20 convene at Pine Point on
Jan. 3lst, 1915. On receipt of this
information the Local Council pro

HUMOR IN THE WAR ZONE

London, Aug. GA famous Eng
lish bishop has endorsed the use, by
the Rev. Sam Leland, a New York
Methodist preacher, of an exclamation
rhyming with his first name Or
course, the bishop qualified his en-
dorsement. A. E. Hungerford, lead
er of the Y. M. c. A. party OF fifty-
seven secretaries who were on board
the Oronsa when that vessel was tor
pedoed while nearing England, told
the bishop about the Rev. Sans out
burst Three minutes after a Brit
ish destroyer had picked up the sur
yiyors of the Oronsa the preacher ap-
proached Hungerford and asked
"Can a man resign from the Y,
M. C. A. service at time like this?
Hungerford wondered, amazed, II
he had overestimated the man,-'to
enlist in the army" concluded Rev
Leland.
"of course you may" replied Hun
gerford. There Is no higher duty
or better work anywhere than as
fighting man in the army"
Damned If | don't!" exclaimed tn'
New York preacher.
When Hungerford told this to
famous English bishop, the latter pub
licly declared that not only was tn
Language justified, but was absoiutel!
necessary to meet the occasion. Fail
ing to get into the army, Rev. I,eLan'
volunteered for transport work to D.
