many will not fight the Russian boil
shevik, other than to repel inva.
sions and to defend her own bor-
ders, according to present indica-
tions. The Germans have enough
of trying to drive the bolshivilS
back into Russia, and are eager
to make peace with Lenine.
Rumors that persist about Berlin
and cannot be satisfactorily denied
are that the German foreign office
is more than ready to sign a peace
with the bo.shevik, but does not do
so now for fear it will be mis- inter-
preted by the entente. Further ru-
mors say that Count Rantzau has
made secret agreement with the
bolshevik to call off hostilities, but
is waiting until the peace of Paris
Is signed, before he can publicly
conclude terms with Lenine.
War Minister Noske has announced
publicly that the German armies
will not march against the bolshe-
vik. BY an agreement between the
great headquarters of the army, the
war office and Noske, the army un-
der Iiindenburg in Prussia will
stand on the east Prussian border
and viii hold the Russians and the
Poles off, but will not bulge step
in offensive warfare. The reported
German offensive of late March
was merely to free German rail-
way line endangered by the Rus
SLAMS.
simultaneously with this an
nouneement came the address of
Lenine before the Moscow soviet
congress- calling the bolshevik to

CREEK COUNCIL
HOUSE PASSES
INTO HISTORY
BY United Press.

by united ITeSb. Ut
Okmulgee, Okla, May 6.-Today
the last chance passed for any Greek
citizen Of Okmulgee to protest the
100000 bond issue that takes from
the great chiefs their last tribal
property.
The Creek Council House, for Al
years seat of tribal justice sno heir
to centuries of Creek lore, probably
will BECOME museum and the
grounds a municipal park.
The glory of race that once
ranged in North America from Nev'
York to the Gulf has passed. Us
people rapidly are merging in ,ae
melting pot of the great Southwest.
AS a branch of the Alganquins, the
Creeks sided with he English
against the Thirteen Colonies.
Forced westward by the surge of
white settlers, they became the
backbone of the Indian uprising that
General Andrew Jackson put down
at the end of the war of 1912.
In 1882, after they ceded Alabama
to the United States, they received
a grant of 100000 acres in Okla
homa and builded their first log
council house near where the pres
ent structure stands, and on this
site transpired some of the most
dramatic Incidents of Western his
tory.
1t was within the Council House
erected in 1873 that the House of
Kings and House of Warriors, legis-
lative bodies, deliberated. 1t was
here Chief Harjo, victim, it is said,
Of tribal politics growing out of the
Civil War, was impeached and soon
afterward died of a broken heart
1t was here the oratory of David
Anderson in 1893 saved the lives of
Chief Legis Perryman and his treas
urer, Sam Grayson. Three thousand
braves, incensed at depreciation in
the national warrants issued as cur
rency, had seized the chiefs and in
surrection brooded for several day@
despite utmost efforts to quell it.
From the second-story doorway of
the Council House, Anderson har-
rangued the braves, and his plea to
await counsels OF the Great White
Father at Washington broke the re-
volt.
Not far away still stnads the Ex-
ecution Tree, where Greeks con-
demned by the council died.
Sale of the Council House is full
fillment of the supplementary treaty
made between the Dawes commits
sion and the Creeks in 1902, which
provided the city should have the
first chance to buy the building.
Since Oklahoma became a state
in 1906, the tribe has been ruled by
the county government, and its cap
itol building used as the Okmulgee
county court house.
Although years ago the tribe sold
a fifth of its domain at 80 cents an
acre, it still holds some Of the rich
est oil lands in Oklahoma.

realize that nothing was to be
gained by marching against the Ger
mans, and asking the congress to
call off hostlities. The congress by
large majority supported Lenine's
pacific plan.
In Berlin it is thought Count
Rantzap has arranged the bolshevilS
peace, if such truce exists,
through the radicals, who have al.
ways favored making peace and liv-
ing in friendship with the bolshevik,
The radicals have suddenly come to
favor Rantzau, who is staunch pa
cifist, as are the radicals from
Haase down, At any rate, the war
between the Germans and the Dol
shevik is off by mutual consent,
