tenance of a system of free. schools
among said Indians, in their midst
and for their benefit.
The boarding school at White
Earth, which was the largest
boarding or day school maintained
among the Chippewas, became SO
unsatisfactory that arrangements
were made this year whereby the
tax payers Of Becker county, the
majority OF whom are Chippewa
Indians, took over the school and
made it part of tho public school
system of the State. For the first
time the Indian children at and
near White Earth have been afford
&c good school facilities by this
change. ',
This school had previously cost,
under departmental control, more
than $25, 1000 per annum. The. ex
penses we're paid out of the school
fund of the Indians. Since it has
been transferred to the State and
made a part Of the public school
system, the Department has re.
fused to allot.a dollar Of the Indian
school fund to aid in its establish
ment and maintenance. notwith-
standing a large majority of the
children IN attendance are Indian
children and the school is being

Indian parents The school fund

of January IA, 1889, amounts an
nualiy to about $4,000. Seven

Reservation. They are getting sub

are needed throughout the entire
Indian country. They can only be
established at the expense of the
Indian tax payers. The Chippewa
Indians ask that one-third of their
school fund be used in aiding the
State in establishing and maintain

Of the Chippewa children.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The League of Nations is born in
to the world amid storms and temp
ests on almost every side; but with
the coming forth of this new organi-
cation although the idea is nearly as
old as mankind, it is sincerely hoped
that wars and strife, chickering's and
turmoil between nations and peoples
will be smothercd under the good will
and optimism that ought to permeate
such society created to make more
firm the brotherhood of men.
Men of brain and widespread ex-
perience in craftsmanship have acted
as the sponsors for the league. They
have threshed out the minute details
and brought into shape constitution
that appears on its face be well
seasoned with common sense and
bound together with logic and terms
SO reasonable, yet SO strong, that
it should appeal to the nations of
the world-with the result that all
may come under it's protecting BAN
ner.
If the League of Nations will put an
end to wars-will demolish hu-
man slaughter pens and forever kill
autocracy. and tyranny, the insolent
dOmineering and offensive aggres-
siveness of kaiser bossnd countries,
The Free Press is ready to hail this
humanitarian society with tidings of
JOY. and bestow blessings on the men
who have labored so diligently to
bring forth the new Declaration of
Independence which frowns on bar
barrie oppression and the iron rule of
those who lust for the blood of their
fellows.
Peace throughout the world is
something that should be devoutly
wished for Any move that will put
an end to wars is worth commencing.
The settlement of dispute in the
quiet of an international tribunal is
much more to be desired than she'd
ding the blood of men on the field
of battle. 1t is more humane; it does
not rob the treasures Of the world
and mothers sons are not given over
to be slain, manned mutilated and
made objects of pity the balance Of
their days.
Let us have peace, but let it be an
honorable peace. No sane person
stands for bloody strife, but IL insane
and despotic rulers start trouble and
it cannot be harmonized by so-called
diplomatic dealings, then it rests up
on the nations attacked to defend
themselves on the glory fighting lines.
But it is to be hoped that the League
Of Nations will go a long ways TO-

Does Power
Make Right?

B Perhaps the average man finds som,
difficulty in understanding the splrl
of those in this country who are fight
ing the League of Nations and clamor
ing for permanent conscription- com
pulsory universal military training
and service. They are invariably the
same people.
/ A flood of light is thrown on then
the Kansas City Star, which is one OF
that stripe, of the claim of France to
the Saare basin, which contains rich
coal fields.
The Star dismiSses as superfluOus
the historical claim, which is that this
territory, as a part of old Lorraine,
was French from the Peace of West
phalia. which ended the Thirty Years
War in 1648, until the Congress of
Vienna in 1815-when the world threw
away chance to organize perma-
nent peace by building it's peace on
power instead of on justice.
France, says the Star, has a great
er claim than that:
There is another and a more tenable
ground, and it ought to be urged open
ly in Frances behalf That is the Eco
nomic Ground. The Saare basin is
coal pile. That is why Prussia took
it, and THAT is WHY FRANCE
SHOULD TAKE TT BACK.
France must have coal to help rebuild
her industries. Unless France gets
the Rhine coal pile, she will have
to buy coal from Germany, and it's
cost will put her at killing competi-
tive disadvantage with the Germans.
That is to say, France wants the
Saare basin for its coal pile, and
France has the power to take it; there
fore France should get it. Right and
justice are not worthy of considera-
ton. Americas pledge of peace, &C
cepted by the Allies, including France,
that there would be no rape of terri
tory, is to be repudiated. The "econ-
omic ground" which is to say the
ground of need and covetousness,
should be the basis of the peace; not
justice.
This is the theory that war is for
profits, with loot the victor's right. |
Is THAT the American view?
Then of course it follows that when |
Germany wanted good share of Eur |
ope and thought it had the power to |
take it, and claimed it on "the econ
omic ground" Germany was right in |
going after it? Beyond doubt that is
what 'the economic ground" comes to;
for according to the Kansas City Stars
soldbloodHd reasoning, "the economic
ground" means that if country wants
some other country has, it
mas the right to take it if it has the
power.
Such teaching is as evil as any Boil
'hevism, and infinitely more dangerous
n this country because it would make
! wider appeal. Following that teach
ng, we should annex Mexico and en- ':

Home Service

For New Jobs

Not long ago we were dreading the
parting. Today we can scarcely wait
for the Homecoming. Our boys are
coming back, coming back to us in the
emulation Of victory. The cheers of
greeting will be heartier than the ones
which bid them god-speed. For the
dread is out of our hearts now. Then
we knew the dangers they would face
in France, and we feared the bereave-
ments that might be ours. But few of
us have sobs in our threats when we
think of the difficulties of the read
justments in their lives. Perhaps if
we understood the problem we might
have something of the spirit of con-
Germ that we have so long shared.
Fortunately there are those who do
understand, who are steadily and wise
ly planning for the discharged soldiers

the American Red Cross. Whatever
the problem of the man may be, he
will find aid through them.

It's oil fields. We could not do that
if there were League Of Nations Or
gained to stop it; therefore those who
are possessed by that spirit will op-
pose the League of Nations. IL we
are going into such business we would
need a great military establishment
and people disciplined" beyond the
power to protect against wrong: there
fore those who are possessed by that
spirit urge permanent conscription-

ing and service.
The doctine laid down by the Kan
sas City Star, enemy of the League
of Nations and champion Of perman-
ent CONSUMPTION, is not, however, Am
erican. Germany has prior right to
that doctrine, and America will be
very different from what
it is now before it will deprive Ger

jobs that we must help them to keep.
These men have done so wonderfully,
worked SO hard, that they will have
a sense of completion. 1t will not be
easy to start a job, to go on with the
business of living In most cases
they can never enjoy the feeling of
personal accomplishment SO common
in the trenches. There is bound to be
a. certain depression in the reaction.
This will complicate the period of read
justment. Yet it will be conquered by
tactful contact and helpful service.
Strength and inspiration will be the
part of the Home Service, it's con-
tribution to the making of new civil
ans.
The industrial problem is not the on
ly one with which the Home Service
is prepared to deal. There are more
delicate relations. These soldiers must
be assimulatad not only back into in
dustry but into their families. 1t would
seem difficult. Yet many of these men
would fit Ill into the homes they left.
1t is peculiarly American viewpoint.
In other countries class lines, customs
and opportunities are fairly well fix
ed. Here class change is normal.
There are men who went out to war
American only by declaration who
will return true sons of liberty. They
went out used to the speech and Gus
toms of some former homeland. A
year or more has changed all that.

WOMEN HAVE ROUGH TIME ID WATCH FIRE
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-An out break occurred tonight in front of the White House, when soldiers, sailors and citizens undertook to end watch fire" demonstration started in Lafay cite park by "sentinels" of the national women's party, as a protest against the failure of the senate to pass the equal suffrage resolution.
 Women carrying banners were knocked down by the charging crowd, and their banners destroyed, while an urn in which the watch fire was burning was destroyed. After the po- lice had restored order, the women started a new fire in one of the big urns in the park, and five of them were arrested by the police for this violation of park regulations. They refused to furnish bond and were held at a precinct station.
 During the afternoon the women burned copies of speeches delivered by President Wilson in Europe, and as the last one was destroyed, the 'sentinels' unfurled a banner bearing an inscrip- tion denouncing President Wilson as "a false prophet of democracy" A dozen soldiers and sailors instantly surrounded the banner and shut it from the gaze of the crowd of several hundred persons.
 An army captain stepped in front of the spectators and called for three cheers for the president, ''the worlds leader of democracy and the best friend the women of America ever had" The crowd gave the cheer with a will but there was no attempt then to molest the "sentinels."
 After the watch fire" had been put out tonight, the women started an- other, and party leaders announced that every possible effort would be made to keep it going until the senate passes the suffrage amendment. The fire was still burning late tonight, at- tended by special ''sentinels' who piled on wood as needed.
 Later the five women were released by the police and told to appear in DO. lice court tomorrow morning, to an. swer charges of viols ting park regula. tions. At the woman's party head quarters, it was said that since the women had not furnished any bono they would not appear for trial.

RELIEF BURDEN
 OF FRENCH ALSO FALLS LIN HOOVER
France Unable To Help Her self - Twenty Principal Cities Devastated-Hun- dreds Of Villages Army Stores Being Used-Naval Men Called To Aid.
:8epublican A, p, Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Relief work being carried on in northern France by the commission for relief in Bel gium, and the pitiable condition of the 1,500,000 inhabitants of that section who escaped the German invasion are described in a cablegram received at the headquarters of the commission here from Herbert C. Hoover in Paris.
 MT. Hoover's message, made public tonight, revealed that the work of re- lief and rehabilitation in France will fall mere heavily on the commission than had been expected. The destruc- tion wrought by the German army was so complete, Mir. Hoover said, that the relief work must include not only food and clothing, but housing over con- siderable area.
 An enlarged organization to handle the situation is being built up and sup plies have been obtained from the quartermaster's department of the American army A large amount of second hand barrack material also has been taken over and 150 volunteers from the American navy are overseeing the construction of barracks near ruined villages for the inhabitants.
 Industrial life ill the invaded region has been almost completely paralyzed. Mir. Hoover said. Railroads have been rendered almost hopeless of recon struction for many months, the coal mines have been destroyed, and there is scarcely a single factory that can be operated without a very large portion of new equipment.
 French Need Help
 "The commission for relief in Bel gium,' said Mir. Hoover's message had hoped to surrender the task of relief of northern France to the French government, immediately upon the German retreat. It has been found impossible, however, for the French government to undertake the food supply of this area for some months to come, and upon the urgent request of that government the commission has decided to continue.
 After the four-year paralysis oi wholesale and retail business, with the destruction of the principal towns and shops, these trades have disappeared
