PRINCE is MADE CHIEF
OF TRIBE OF INDIANS
British Royal Visitor Gets
Nelu Title at Bonff.

BANFF. Alberta, Sept. 1.-THE Prince
OF Wales to-day acquired another title.
on arriving here this morning from
Calgary, he found awaiting him a pic
turesque escort-a delegation of Indians,
who with quiet dignity, gave him their
greeting. Then. with special Indian cere-
monies, he was made a chief of the
tribe and a headdress OF wonderful
workmanship was given to him.
The honor was conferred in a Banff
park at a typical Indian fete arranged
In his honor. First a chieftain in his
native tongue delivered a formal address
OF welcome. Then came dances and
songs, with the scion OF British royalty
and native Canadian" chief-seated
In the front row of great circle.
The Prince is not only rapidly ac-
curing a knowledge of life in the North
west but he also is giving the residents
OF that part of the world a first hand
knowledge of a British Prince, with a
surprise added here and there.
While the Prince was guest at the
Bar-U ranch. near Calgary. yesterday,
tho victim Of one surprise" was q group
OF cowboys Knowing that the night be-
fore the royal visitor had enjoyed a late
session of bridge and learning that ar
repgements had been made to bring him
at the ranch's guest cottage a morning
cup Of tea. these knights OF the saddle
collected outside eager to catch a glimpse
Of royalty In a place where royalty sell
dom Is seen. Suddenly they saw ap-
preaching them a youth in running
clothes, hot and grimy after a Ave mile
pIe-breakfast scamper over the prairie.

with the general conditions of his

The Paris correspondent of the
New York Times informs that news
paper that report sent to England
from the French capital which repre-
sented the Supreme Council as hav-
ing agreed to reversal of Russian
policy" is not concurred In by the
American authorities who should have
knowledge of what is going on in in
ternational AFFAIRS.
This does not surprise us.
It merely indicates that the afore-
mentioned Americans share with the
general public complete and abysmal
ignorance as to what the Wilsonian
policy toward Russia is.
In our own opinion the reversal Of
that policy would be a metaphysical
and political impossibility, just as the
reversal Of vacuum would be a phys
ical imposslbllity.
Some persons, we are aware, hold
that the Wilsonian policy In regard
to Russia is one Of the most artful
and Machiavellian policies ever de-
vised, and that It places its author in
the front rank of statesmen whose
eminence is based on their capacity
to be on the winning side no matter
who wins. These hold that what
ever happens to compose Russia and
bring peace to Russia in the near or
the remote future President WILSON
will be able to say that he consistently
advocated the course which will pro-
duce that much desired result.
This theory does not appeal to US.
He'll say 1t anyway.

There is much good sense worthy Of

JUSTICE REVERSED,
REVIEWS DECISION
Cropseyr Refuses to Be Guided
by Ruling of Appellate
Division.

The Appellate Division in Brooklyn
decided recently that Justice Cropsey
had erred in case before him. Tho
higher court reversed his findings and
sent the case back for retrial. II
CHANGED to come before Justice Cropssy
again and yesterday he created an IN.
usual precedent. Having reconsdered
the case with especial care" he stuck
TO his original decision and issued The

The suit was one brought by William
III. Powers against the New YORK
Municipal Railway Corporation, the New
York Consolidated Railroad Company
and the City of New York. Powers
owned property at 1925 and 1925 New
Utrecht avenue, at Fiftieth street, and
claimed damages to his light and air
easements as result OF the construc'
tion OF the new elevated railroad. After
trial In October. 1917. Justice Cropssy
liked Powerss fee damage at $4,000 and
his rental damage at s14 a month
The city appealed from his findings
and the Appellate Division Court con-
s'sting of Justices jerks. Putnam, Kelly.
Mills and Rich. reversed the finding and
ordered new trial. The record upon
which the case was reconsidered was
the same as that before Justice Cropsey
on the first trial. no new evidence having
been submitted. And his decision JUST
handed down is exactly the same as the
first.
1.-THE fact that there has been sub
stantial fee damage is established to TINS

sey. 1.-THE court made an inspection ol
the premises prior to making Its hrH
decision and was nnviEsNd by the m
spection as wei as me evidence tha'

The decision adds: while the Appel

was not sufficient to justify the award
that was made of loss of rental yalus
of S14 month, this court cannot folloN

1t Is no secret In Great Britain, It
Is no secret In British colonies, for
the facts are generally discussed in
their business circles and public
prints. that already German exports
IRE underselling British manufactures
They are not merely underselling
them In markets adjacent to German
territory and In countries which were
neutral during the war; these Ger
man goods are underselling British
goods in the London market.
1t is in this way, Of course, that the
German people must pay the interest
and principle of the prodigious sums
which have been assessed against
them by 1.-The Allies. But they could
not begin to pay their debts now,
they never could pay them. with Ger.
man goods offered in foreign markets
If they were not able to manufacture,
ship and sell more cheaply than other
producers. With famine prices still
demanded for the necessaries of life
in Germany, with vast burdens of
taxation entering into the cost of
production of every article turned out
by man and machinery-with such
economic disadvantages. to overcome
how does it happen that war burdened,
war crippled Germany can undersell
the British producer right In his own
London market2 Well, 1t can be done
and is done by hard work.
Taxes can and do play an impor-
tant part in the productive efficiency
of individuals, Of communities and OF
countries. Fertility Of soil does. Ac-
feasibility to supplies of raw material
does. Climate does. But other things
being anywhere near equal there is
nothing to compare with industrious
effort as the determining factor in
the cost of general production.
The man who won't work or doesn't
work his best hasn't a chance on
earth against the man who will and
does. The nation of industrial quit
tiers or slackers can never stay in the
worlds trade race with the nation of
bard workers.
Unless the workers of the United
States get on their Jobs and stay on
their jobs, putting In the stir ticks
which won for them the Industrial
and commercial supremacy of this
earth, they are going to lose 1t. They
did not win it by divine favor. They
did not win 1t by luck. They won
1t by pitching into any work they had
to do with all the power that was in
them. They won IL by scoring a big
ger and better production, man for
man, industry for industry, than
other peoples and other nations were
scoring or were able to score.
This isn't the American tendency
to-day. There isn't the American
drive for quicker and bigger output,
the creation of more wealth as a
days effort-wealth to be divided
among the creators Of 1t. There is a
drift toward few working hours and
mighty little done, by way of either
