DESERVE MORE THAN PRAISE
Mon Of the Type OF Private Oscar
zwaId Surely Entitled to the
Country's Best.

Col. A. @. Read, inspector general,
asked General Liggett to write letters
of highest praise for the heroic conduct
Of Private Oscar zwald. Fort Dodge,
Iowa.
BY rushing fearlessly into burning
freight car loaded with live shells, and
distinguishing the FIRE at great risk, he
saved scores of lives and possibly near
ly a million dollars worth OF munltion
stores for Uncle Sam at the Mulhelm
munitions store yard, near Coblenz.
If the fire had not been promptly sub.
dued 1t would have resulted in blowing
UP whole trainload of shells, to which
the burning car was attached, together
with, possibly, many nearby buildings
hlled with high explosives. stored there
for emergencies.
This Is the type of man returning to
us now from abroad. Fearless, coura.
geous, and ready to do the right thing
at the right moment. All may not have
received the d. S. G., but each one OF
them Is valuable addition to any fac.

COMMENTARY ON WHITE RULE
Indians Have Flourished Only Where
the White Man Did Not Want
Their Lands.

In only two parts of all America are
the Indians as numerous today as when
the white men came-in Canada, north
Of the Saskatchewan, where the popu-
lation is actually increasing; south Of
the Rio Grande, In Yaqul land, where
whip and sword and rifle have failed
to conquer what should have been
pacified. In northern Canada the fur
hunting Indians have prospered In
peace for two reasons. The white men
did not take their lands. They did
not want them. The land of the Far
North was only good for furs; and so
the second reason, or from purely
selfish motive to increase the output
Of furs, the Indians have been treated
with absolute justice II with absolute
despotlsm. The safety Of the lone
traders life depended on absolute JUS
tlce; and. oddly enough, the only Mex.
can who has ever succeeded In controll-
ing the Yaquls has controlled them In
the same way, by leaving to them their
lands and by absolute, IL at times des-
