AGAINST INTERNATIONAL
POLICE FORCE.

sorin Hall, Notre Dame. Ind, March
81. 1919.
Editor The News-Times:
The Paris conference seems to
give little thought To the sentiment
of the American soldier on the
question of establishing an interna-
tional police force, composed largely
of American troops, to regulate the
affairs of the world hencefOrward.
The American soldier is taking a
keen interest in this article of the
covenant, for he is not blind TO it's
ultimate personal meaning. This
interest extends to the relatives of
the presumptive international pO-
liceman, as well. Speaking only for

was for the children. He had been
over to the native village several
times and the little brown folks,

The Wishing Plane
BY WILLIS WINTER

Captain Brave united the bundle
of mail. And now for what it con-
tanned.
First of all there was a letter to
Jack and Jane from father and
mother back home in Make-Believe
Town. Captain Brave opened it and
read it to the little folks. 1t told
how the big box of beautiful flowers
that DR.. Cheer promised to send
from Beautiful Island had arrived,
and that the whole village had cal
led at the little folks home to see
the assortment OF wonderful flowers
to all of the sick folk in the village,
had placed some in the church and
had kept the others as long as they
could at home. They were glad to
hear that The children we're having
such a glorious time, was a warning
to be sure and be good and take
care of themselves.
True enough there was letter
from Captain Bold, who had sailed
away from Beautiful Island in his
submarine. He told them where his
work had led him, and Captain
Brave, who knew all of the places
Captain Bold had visited, said that
he had been practically around the
world since they left him.
DR.. Cheer wrote, too. He told

Shabbona, who was born in ITS,
erected a cabin near Seneca after

treatment by the white men for his
friendly warning. He died in 1859
and was buried in Evergreen GEM
etery at Morris in Grundy county.
In 1903, huge granite boulder,
was placed over the grave. Many
men, prominent in the public life
of the state, attended the unwilling
and delivered addresses eulogizing
the memory of the great chief who
was willing to become the Benedict
Arnold of his race to save the lives
of his white friends.
The cat Of Shabbona was the
more remarkable from the fact that
he was in the war of 1872 and
fought with the British troops a
gainst the American colonists. At
the battle of the Thames when the
great chief Tecumseh fell, Shah
bona was second in command
When peace was declared, Shah
bona vowed that he would never
raise his tomahawk against the
whites again and he kept his word.

Marie, A Real Queen

You have all probably heard, and
perhaps seen pictures of this queen.
of the most noble women of tho
war, and one who has come in
close contact with its horror. and
with the great souls of men that
have taken part in the great con-
flict. Marie of Roumania, the
friend of the people, she is called
and she Is the idol Of her kingdom.
She hopes, to come to America
soon and will probably bring one
or more of her children with her.
Marie is a granddaughter of
Queen Victoria, and is as simple
in her ways and as warm hearted
as she is talented and courageous.
AS a Red Cross worker she has
been untiring, and turned the ball
room of her palace into a work
shop for making garments and hos
pital supplies for soldiers and or
phans.
Nicholas Eager to See America
Prince Nicholas, now sixteen
years old is an active boy scout
and as one said who spoke with
Queen Marie in her palace at Jas
sy (mOved there after Bucharest
was threatened) has very loving
and manly attitude toward his
mother. He said he was very anxi-
GUS to come to America.
Air Pilots Guard Her
There are other royal children,
too. Princess Elizabeth, the oldest
is an artist and has done a great
deal of war work among the child
rem of Roumania, who were suffer.
ers of the war. Then there are
Crown Prince Carol, and Princes.
SEES Marie and Ileane.
Queen Marie loves dogs too, and
has many of them. Her favorite
ones are a superb Russian Wolf
hound, and very much pampered
black spaniel.
Whenever Queen Marie would 60
around to the different towns of
her kingdom, to visit the homes
for orphans that had been started
there, the children, those that
could would run to meet her, and
those that could not come to NEST
her just waited. because they knew
that Queen Marie would never
miss them, for she always saw
each orphan and each soldier per-
sonally when she went to visit the
orphan homes or the hospitals.
Often, as she rode in her auto
mobile to these towns, airplanes
would come out from their hangers
and fly over the queens automo-
bile until she arrived at the town,
accomplished her work and arrived
home safely again.
This Queen Likes Fairy Tales
Queen Marie is a great reader,
and even writes many little stories
herself. In speaking of American
authors, she said, that she did not
know many of our writer's, but that
she liked Bret Hart, Mark Twain,
and o. Henry very much. She also
said she was very fond Of Kip
ling's writings.
And what shows that she really
is very splendid person, she says
she likes to read stories about
nature, and fairy tales. Probably
she reads them to little Princess
Marie, and Princess Ileano. Would
it be fun to hear real queen read

Site Of Indian Creek Massacre Given to Illinois for Public Park

BLOOMINGTON, H., July IA
Shabbona park, located in La Sale
county, has been given to the state
of Illinois and will, hereafter, be
free to all the people of this state.
The resort is one of the most
picturesque of the kind in the
United States and was dedicated in
1906 when a monument was I'M
yelled in memory of fifteen white
settlers who were slain by band
of Black Hawk Indians, May 20,
1892. AS La Sale county has been
unable TO give the park the i'm
prOvements required, and the state
Legislature could not legally vote
money for this purpose while the
title remained with the county, it
was decided by the board of super
visOrs to turn the property over to
the state and thus enable it to re-
ceive the attention that the beauty
of the spot and its historical asso-
Citations warrant.
Fifteen Were Killed
Replete with thrilling incidents
of Indian warfare, the history of H.
linOis records few, If any, events
of greater Importance, from the
standpoint of the historian than the
Indian creek massacre which &C.
Cured on May 20, 1882, on the pre-
sent site of Shabbona park. In this
attack, according to three survivors
fifteen lives were sacrificed by the
cruel scalping knife of the Indians
of Black Hawks blood thirsy band.
Thirty years after the massacre,
William Munson who married one
of three women who escaped the
wrath Of the red men, erected
monument to the memory of the
victims, which cost $500. This
memorial still stands. In subse-
quent years, the patriotic residents
of La Sale county launched a cam
paign in behalf of a larger monu-
ment. The legislature finally pas
sed a bill appropriating $4,000 for
tho purpose and the money set a.
side a tract of seven and one-half
acres as a memorial park to be
known as Shabbona. The monu-
ment is sixteen feet in height. 1t
also commentaries the deeds of
ShabbOna, chief of the Pottowa-
tamies, who was staunch friend
of the whites and, who was the
Paul Revere of the Mississippi val
ley.
Shabbona's FaithfuIness
After attending a war dance in
Lee county in May 1882 called by
Black Hawk to launch a campaign
of determination against the white
settlers, Shabbona and his son, de-
Ginning to participate, and warning
Black Hawk of the consequences,
stole away to sound the note of
They determined to save
as many as possible from the tor
ture and tragic death that would be
the fate of all in the path of the
avengers. Turning their back upon
their own race forever, realizing
that their act would be regarded as
traitorous, Shabbona and his son
