The Bureau Indians.

1t is an old saying, THAT the
road to hell is paved with good
intentlons;" so, also, is the road to
the Indian Bureau paved by good
intentions There was a time
when no Indians were employ ed
in the Indian Service. The ques
ton of what to do for the returned
Indian students created places in
the Indian Service. Thinking
that these Indian employees would
have heart sinterest in their race
and that they would have good
influence among their people, and
at the same time, help themselves.
1t appeared ztolbe a good idea, so
much 50, that an employment
agency was formed in the Indian
Department; the duty of which
waste procure employment for
Indian graduates in the Indian
Service and secure work for In
dams outside of the reservation,
mostly in gang system.
Today there are many hundreds
of Indians in the Indian Service
and they do have great influence.
Naturally, at the beginning they
did have high ideals to help their
people, but in time or now, they
have changed and are as machines
They are Indians, but heartless of
an Indians heart. Their souls arc
stupid aud their hearts asleep.
They serve in the environment of
Indian Bureauism and are helpless
to reason anything else. Their
personality is lost.

indians: THE convention, Dr..

to abolish the Iudian Bureau
The above excerpt from the
Minneapolis Journal informs US
that DR.. Eastman succeeded in
interesting the regents of the
University favorably; the result is
that this years convention will be
held at the University.
We are pleased that the conven-
ton is to be brought to our state
and that proceedings will oe under
the ec!at of the sympathy of the
regents and undoubtedly that of
the faculty and student body.
This situation however is not novel
and the fact that several conven
tions have been held at universities
is important, and mainly from the
cultured view point, and this point
is not single in character, for in
addition to cultural opinion there
is present the characteristic Of
democracy which in its turn be-
lieves that politically ''all men are
born free and equal"
Universities have, been ready

opportunity to express himself

While it is lot numerically true
that the society is composed of the
educated Indians of the country"
it does remain true that the leaders
are the ''educa,ed Indians.
Membership in the society is
mot dependent upon the possession
of diploma or even upon the
status of some learnin," for the
Indian of total illiteracy is eligible
and constitutes considerable
element Of the society.
In the holding of the conference
this year in Minneapolis there is
the element of propriety for the
Chippewas of Minnesota and Wis
cousin and the Sioux of the d.
kotas, a fact which we believe DR..
Eastman must have had in mind,
and mainly to induce an attendance
by the Chippewas in large mum

Recurring Street Fighting In Alexander Platz in Berlin.
IN
 BARRICADES
Effort to Procure General Strike at Dresden and
 Magdeburg Fails.

Berlin, Wednesday, March 5-(By the Associated Press)-The vicinity Of police headquarters in the Alexan- der Platz continued today to be the scene Of recurring street fighting be- tween government troops e1d armed Spartacan rioters. comprising soldiers, sailors and strikers.
 At one o'clock this afternoon the troops and policemen fired heavily with machine guns on the crowds which surged back into Alexander Platz after having been driven off. Strong endorsements were sent to police headquarters during the night, including a field battery of six pieces Minor clashes occurred there almost hourly during Tuesday, the casualties being six dead and twenty wounded.
 At ten o'clock this morning two persons were killed in a clash between troops and rioters in Huttenstrasse, in the Aoabito district.
 The Spartacans have constructed barricades in several side streets leading off from Alexander PEatz and continue to plunder the shops in the vicinity. Herr Ernst, the police chief declares that the strike wave is reced- ing and that police headqRarterse Is amply fortified against any attempt to storm it.
 The strike situation in Central Germany is unchanged and a renew ed effort by the Spartacans to secure the proclamation of a. general strike at Dresden and Magdeburg has fail ed.
 A leader of the Majority Socialists informed The Associated Press today that so far the general strike is a failure and will not receive the sup port which had been expected. It was stated that wherever workingmen ibalIoted secretly, the opposition to the strike was overwhelming and that the Independent Socialists deceived them selves in. estimating sentiment among the Ia boring classes.
 Among the big plants shut down to- day were nose of the General EIec- tFic Go.
 Copenhagen March - Both the Spartacans and the government forces lost a large number killed in fighting Wednesday before police headquar- ters in the Alexander Platz, accord ing to a Berlin despatch to the Po1iti- ken The fighting finally was ended by negotiation.

NO ILLUSIONS
 ON BOLSHEvISM
Bonar Law Says Allies Agree Something Must
 Be Done for Russia.

London, March 6-Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the House of Commons, replied last night to some questions raised in debate on foreign affairs that have been iE progress in the House. AS regards Bolshevism, MT. Bonar Law said that few people now had \> any illusions about it. The Allies were agreed that something must be done for Russia, but none of them, he declared would recommend dispatching the necessary forces to queu the anarchy there.
 As to indemnities, MT. Bonar Law said the government realized the country expected to get the best pos sibIe indemnities from Germany, and he emphasized the point that it was Great Britain's business to get every penny it could, but it was useless to hold out the hope that the indemnjties would wipe out the country's immense war debt.
 Mr. Bonar Law agreed that it was urgent that peace be achieved quick ly. because there was real danger of Germany sinking into Bolshevism. Moreover, he pointed out that there was the greatest necessity for the Allies to get their own trade and in dustries going again. Therefore, the sooner the blockade was ended, given the knowledge that some other weapon could be depended upon, the better it would be for Great Britain and the world in general.

CzECHS WILL NOT
 SHOULDER DEBT
Refuse to Pay March Cou. pons on Austrian War
 Loan.

Prague, Wednesday, March 5-M Tusar, the Czecho- -Slovak plenipo- .tentary at Vienna has issued an of fcia1 declaration that the Czech gov errment refuses to pay the March coupons on the Austrian war loan or assume part of the pre-war debts of Austria Hungary. Such action, he declared. would be a crime against the Entente Allies.
 The Supreme Council of the Peace Conference on February 25 was re- ported to have decided that the cou- pons of the Austro- Hungarian debt falling due on March 1 should be paid. The Inter-Allied financial com mission told the Council that there were funds in the banks of the former Hapzburg empire to make the pay nent The Czechs and other inde- pendent political units objected, but the council met the objections by de- ciding that the use of the common funds in the payment on the war debt would not be construed as obligatine them for the future.

NEW CONDITIONS
 FOR GERMANY
Supreme Council to Hear Military and Naval Re
 ports on Them.

Paris, March 6. - The Su- preme Council at its session this afternoon will first consider a proposal by the American delegation to invite the various committees to draw up articles embodying their re ports with view to the formulation of a treaty of peace.
 The second question on the pro gram is the discussion of military and naval reports on the new condi- tions to be imposed on Germany.
 The Council, after hearing a statement by Jules Cambon, decided unanimously yesterday to reject the demands of the minor powers with limited interests for greater repre- homie commissions which are about to be formed. The minor Powers especially those from South America followed Brazil in demanding earlier in the week, that the minor Powers have the same number of members on the commissions as the Great Powers.
 After two days of futile unofficial conferences. NJ. Cambon laid the mat ter before the Supreme Council. Bra gil was supported by Belgium, while Greece and Serbia took the opposite view in the discussion. The Supreme Council asked the minor Powers to name their five representatives on the commissions today. The Great Powers will have ten representa- tives.

HOW PROPAGANDA
 AIDED DOWNFA
Posters Telling Greatness of Allies and America Had
 Bad Effect.

Washington, March 7--Raymond E. Robins of Chicago, former head of the American Red Cross mission in Russia and one of those whose tes- timony champions of the Bolshevtk government have insisted should be heard, testified today before the Sen ate committee Investigating lawless propaganda. He said among other things that before Russia failed as an Ally, Allied and American propagan- dists unwittingly contributed largely to the downfall of Russian morale and what followed.
 Posters were all over Russia" said MT. Robins, telling how great the Allies were and how powerful America was. Some of the posters said the United States would have twenty thousand airplanes and four million men in France. The Russians, read ing these declarations said to them selves well, if all that is true. we will go home for a while There Is no doubt that this propaganda ma terially assisted in the disinte grafton of the Russian morale, and that il had exactly the opposite effect from what was intended"
 Describing conditions as he found them when he went to Russia, he said that early in the Kerenszy regime he became aware that it was failing because it did not pay enough attention to affairs in the outlying districts. Kerensky's civil power, the witness asserted, was inefficient and the Soviet control grew up naturally.
 Mir. Robins attributed the economic paralysis in Russia to the fact that before the war Germans were the economic directors of Russia and that when they disappeared nobody was competent to take their places.
 MT. Robins said that he was anti Socialist when he went to Russia and that his experiences there had not changed his ideas in regard to Social ism.

RESERVE BOARD
 ISSUES REPORT
Textile Industry Presents One of Most Difficult
 Problems.

Washington. March 6-Confidence that business conditions are read justing themselves "in a, fairly satis- factory way, although not as fast as many interests wish, was expressed today by the Federal Reserve Board in a review of business reports for February. These reports were made by reserve agents in each district, based on specific surveys of COmmer- Cial and industrial conditions.
 Reports as to labor unemployment have been numerous in the press,'' says the boards review, but the re- ports of Federal reserve agents shows that there has probably thus far been over-anxiety and eNaggeratiou with respect to this matter. From several manufacturing districts it IS report ed that labor conditions are far from satisfactory and that there Is Consid erabIe unemployment, but it is also noted that the condition does not seem to have grown worse during February"
 The surplus of labor appears smallest in the South and Southwest. In those sections there are no indiCa- tions of any reduction in the wage scale, while in the North and East employees are demanding higher wages. notwithstanding the existence of conside erable unemployment.
 There is as yet no general revision of wages downward. although there are indications of a tendency to let wages settle to a definite level which shall without question be higher than that existing before the war. There has been g tendency to provide labor for a greater number of persons by eliminating overtime or establishing short time"
 The textile industry presents one of the most difficult problems. says the report In New England cur tailment of woolen mill production still is in progress and in the Phila- delphia district re-adjustment in tex tile production is proceeding with values unsettled. In New England the cotton market is reported at a complete standstiU so far as raw ma terial Is concerned, while mills arc operating only 6 few days a week.
 Raw material for leather and shoes as reported higher than when the ar 1nistice was signed. says the report, and by some 1t is predicted that the price of shoes will advance rather than decline.
 Banking conditions in general show a condition of greater ease, the board said, with some accumu- lation of funds at centers and a strong tendency on the part of money hoarded to return to the banks. Ac- cording to some bankers estimates the amount of hoarded money that has been returned to banks since the armistice would aggregate $500, 900, O0O."

Bitter Objection To Italy's

Food Shortage in Democracie Built Out of Old Austrian Empire is Creating Chaos-Relied Entente

Paris, March 5.---The British and French delegates her have been bit terly outspoI1en in the Supreme War Council and the Supreme Economic Council in criticism of the food block ade which the Italian government is maintaining against Dalmatia, BOs- mia, Herzegovina, Croatia, and Stove mia. The new democracies built out of the old Austrian empire are relied upon by the Entente as a protection against the Bolsheyik wave, and the food shortage in them is creating chaos.
 While the American delegates are less outspOken than the British and French regarding the Italian action they are concerned over the situation. which is stopping all American relief work
 Italy is entirely dependent upon the United States for food staples, re- ceiving credits through the American treasury with which to make pur- chases. Italian relief supplies cost $6o, COG, GOO monthly, while the relief of the Czechs, Jugo- -Slavs and serbtans

REFERENDUM FOR
 PORT PROJECT
But Stratford Will Not Send Committee To Consult
 About Measure.

With the apparent declination of the selectmen of the town of Strat- ford to appoint a committee of five to confer with the harbor committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the committee made up of Aldermen McFayden, McManus, Hamilton and Cornell of this city, to discuss the Chamber of Commerce project Bridgeport aldermen and the Cham Der committee will meet in the near future to go over the measure that is being drawn to substitute the bill now before the Senate.
 Just what new provisions will be contained in the substitute measure is not known at the present time, although "referendum" is sure to be one of the main changes.
 While it is highly desirable that representatives of Stratford attend the meeting, it is declared by officials of the Chamber of Commerce 1t will be held without them if necessary.
 Since the referendum clause won 2 place on the new document, and since it Is definitely understood that a clause which will permit aldermen of Bridgeport and selectmen of Stratford to go over the records of the Port Commission at will objection to he project in Bridgeport has dwindled
