Dear Uncle Glen:
Have intended for long time

my life dose'nt often leave one
much time for long letter and l
was 10th to write anything else.
l have been sent here to school
at the University of Paris, which,
by the way, as you no doubs re-
member, is credited with being
the oldest University extant.
/ Never be it said that higher
education never got me anywhere.
Here have left the provincial
village in which | was located and
moved to what at the present time
is the centre of the political and
military world because of the
peace conference. There were 25
men from our division who came
|-up for a four months course. Only
Enine grades we're sent to Paris,
those who had less were sent to
smaller colleges in France; alto
gethec there were not over 40
of US from out of 10000. l am
taking some law work at the
Faculte du Droit, at Sorbune, Il
university of ecclesiastical fame.
But what prompted me to write
finally was the fact that we are
allowed week end passes and that
l might exercise this unparalleled
opportunity to look about France

Petition Of the General
Council Filed With the
Secretary Of the Inter-
ior Creates Sensation
at Washington.
PETITION WAS PUBLISHED IN The
I0MAnAWK OF APRIL 24th.
Washington, D. g.,
May 3, 1919.
SDecial to THE TOMAHAWK.

Special to THE ToMAHAwK.
The petition of the General
Council, Minnesota Chippewas,
filed with the Secretary Of the In
terror setting out in detail the
entire Chippewa situation and ap.
pearing in The ToMAHAwK of the
issue Of April Oath has created a
sensation. II is being read and
considered with great interest by
members Of the House and Senate
now in ashington. 1t is the
first complete review of the Chip
pewa situation that has reached
the Senators and Representatives
who have direct charge of Indian
legislation. But few members of
Congress believed that such a
condition could exist and when
Congress reconvenes it is certain
that the Indian Bureau will be
called upon for a complete explain
alton of Chippewa affairs before
any further appropriations are
authorized.
Agent Dickens of the White
Earth Agency has been in WASH
ington during the past week.
With officials of the Indian Bureau
he has been going: over the petition
of the General Council filed with
the Secretary of the Interior with
a view to submitting recommends
lions with reference to certain
matters that it is now conceded
need immediate attention and
which will require legislation.
Agent Dickens has made a good
impression. He has always made
good in every position heretofore
held by him. He is now in the
most delicate position he has ever
occu Died. He knows that the
General Council will insist upon
the administration of the Chippe
wa estate in strict conformity with
the agreement of 1889. He has
learned before this of the tendency
of the Indian Bureau to deal with
the Chippewa situation in Indian
Bureau fashion''-that is, to re'ard
the final winding up of the estste
as long as possible SO as to per
petua.e the Indian Bureau. It is
not believed by those who know
Agent Dickens that he will con-
form to the Indian Bureau policy
unless he is forced to do So 1t is
apparent, however, that if the
Indian Bureau has its way alIot
ments to the Red Lake 1udians
will be indefinitely deferred ano
that Legislation looking to the
winding up of the Chippewa estate
will be postponed for at leas'

another year.

announcer year.
The incessant fight made by the
General Council is bearing fruit
daily. Orders have been issued
by the Indian Bureau to the super
intendents among the Chippewa
indians to issue patents in fee to
all adult Indians who are of one
half or less Indian blood and to
classify them on the books of each
agency as competent Indians.
This will emancipate more than
fifty per cent Of the Indians allot-
ted off the White Earth Reserva-
ton. On the White Earth Reser-
walton the roll now being prepared
under the direction of the Court
is to be adopted as roll of CON-
pe,ent and incompetent Indians.
The Indians listed on that roll as
"mixed-bloods'' are to be treated
in the future as competent, and
those listed on that roll as full
bloods" are to be treated in the
future as ''incompetents" unless
the Secretary should in the future
adjudge them to be competent.
This will take out from under the
control of the Department between
fifty and eighty per cent of the
allotted members Of the Chippewa
tribe.
1t is being insisted by the Indian
Bureau that allotlnents cannot be
made to members of the Red Lake
Band until the timber on the allot-
table area has been cut and re-
moved. Thus if the Indian Bureau
has its way allotments on the Red
Lake Reservation will be deferred
for two or three years. The Gen.
eral Council, it is understood here,
will insist upon the allotments to
the Red Lake Indians being made
without further delay.
1t is apparent that the Indian
Bureau will, at the special session
of Congress, renew its efforts to
obtain an appropriation out of the
crust funds for the support of the
Indian Service in Minnesota.
Webster Ballinger, the attorney
for the General Council, in order
to put an end to this question for
all time has requested the Secre
tary to refer the question of the
right of the Indian Bureau to use
the trust funds of the Chippewas
in paying the expenses of the In
dian Service in Minnesota to the
Solicitor of the Department for a
legal opinion. With an opinion
from the Solicitor holding that the
funds cannot be used for. such a
purpose the annual drag of $685.
900 upon the trust funds of the
Chippewas will be ended for all
time. This is what Attorney
Ballinger is trying to accomplish.
Chippewa matters are now being
considered by the Indian Bureau
as never before and the report of
that Bureau to the Secretary on
the petition of the General Council
is being awaited with keen inter-
est. One thing is certain,-the
Indian Bureau realizes that the
condition that has obtained in the
past cannot be longer continued.

DIVIDENDS WILL Be PAII

A number of discharged soldiers are
not quite clear on the method of
maintaining their insurance. The Red
Cross is assisting the government in
explaining the insurance proposition
and the ex-service men can get addi-
tional information by writing to the
bureau of war risk insurance, treasury
department, Washington.
Some of the inquiries which the Red
Cross has received follow:
G. When and where may the insur-
ance be converted into permanent
forms?
A. Very soon, thru the postoffice
and other government agencies.
@. What is the point in converting
the insurance
A. The rate of the premium will be
fixed at the age of which you convert
and remain the same. The older you
are, the higher the rate. You must
convert within five years.
@. Are dividends paid?
A. Yes, in cash, or toward the pay
ment of your premium.
q. When are premiums due?
ly and annually. There is thirty day
grace on monthly payments.
Q. Can money be borrowed on pol
icy?
A. Yes, after the first year. Then
you may borrow any amount up to "a
per cent of the cash surrender value.

LOOKING FOR FIGHT?
If You Are, Ask Soldier if He Has His
"ShOe Dublin"

"Shoe Dublin
An excellent way to pick a fight
with an ex-soldier is to ask him If he
still has his "shoe dublin"
Every soldiers who sailed from
Brest had to have two cans of dub
bin" before he was permitted to en-
bark. Inspecting officers, many of
them of field rank, devote all their
time to the important work of seeing
that the men have the dublin" and
extra shoe laces. 1t became a joke
among the men of the 18th infantry
10th engineers and both field artil-
lery. At the same time, it was an
annoying joke, because they had to
do a lot of policing in order to get
their two cans.
"Shoe dublin" is a pasty something
that is supposed to be used on hob
nailed shoes. During the war, the
soldiers were able to fight well
enough without it, but it was abso-
lutely necessary, they were told, be-
fore they could board the transport
to return to America. They were
also told that extra shoe laces were
essential 1t is needless to add that
the "shoe dublin was all thrown
overheard the first day out of Brest.
