BRIEF HISTORY
 OF THE NAVAJO
By TOM PARRISH.

The Navajos, when Arizona was taken over, were the most populous ot the Indian tribes. They occupied what is now northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. For years they had kept up a constant warfare with the Mexican, the Zunis and the Mo quis. They were strong, further ad- vanced in civilization and the arts of civilization than any of the Apache tribes. They were pastoral, owning at the time of the American conquest, many thousand head of sheep and cows and horses. They titled the soil to some extent, their chief crop being corn. It was estimated that at this time they had 5000 acres under, cul- tivation. They irrigated a little, but secured crops. by deep planting, the corn being planted about eighteen inches under the surface, and caring out soon after it came above the ground. In addition to the corn they raised wheat, peas, beans, melons, pumpkins and potatoes, and had num- erous peach and apricot orchards. They had, therefore, a great variety of food, and that more dainty, than other tribes who depended entirely up- on game for their food. They would not eat pork, nor allow hogs Tn their country. either would they eat bear meat, only killing bears in self de- fense.
 They also dressed much more com fortably than the other Indians. The men wore double apron coat, like a shortened poncho, opened at the sides and fastened about the waist by a belt. It was of woolen cloth, and ire uently much ornamented. They wore buckskin brooches, close fitting, adorn- ed along the outer seams with brass or silver buttons, which extended to the knees. They also wore woolen stockings and mocassins, and often leggins, reaching to the knees. The finishing touch to this costume was a blanket thrown over the shoulders as a mantle would be worn, and a turban or leather cap surmounted by plume that gave it the appearance of heI- met. They foTmerly carried lance and a shield, which, with their cos tune, gave them the appearance, at a distance, of Grecian or Roman war ! riors
 The women wore sleeveless bodice which was loose at the top but which | fitted neatly at the waist, skirt reaching below the knees, and mocas- sins in summer. In winter they add ed leggins and blanket. The bodice and skirt were usually of bright col ors, the skirt sometimes being edged with border of black or fringe. Of late years the costumes of these h. dians have become more or less non descript, but many still retain their ancient fashions. They manufacture all of their clothing, including the blankets, which have been the won

some member of neighboring tribe or other outsider, which makes every thing pleasant again. The women, unlike other Apache tribes, are un- chaste, and indulge to a great extent in free love. They are tall and well formed, and as they are well treated they are, in looks and bearing, far above the average ,squaw. As a rule the women are more healthy than the men, due, probably, to their outdoor life as shepherdessess during their girlhood. Sons are under the control of the father until he becomes war

der and admiration of civilized people for many years. They are very thick and closely woven, and are almost waterproof. The weaving, which is done by the women, is very tedious, two months being consumed in mak- ing a common blanket and sometimes half year for fine one. These blankets are worth from fifteen to one hundred dollars, varying with the quality of wool used and the amount of work put upon them. They have discontinued the making of cotton cloth. They make some pottery and have among them many cunning work men in silver, who have made remark able advances in their art of late years since thty have added modern tools to their kits. These people are quick to learn and learn any kind of work in an incredibly short time.
 The women among these Indians are treated entirely different from those in many other Indian tribes, be- ing equal to the men, and having the same rights in the government of the tribe. The marriage ceremony is very simple, consisting of eating a meal to- gether, and when either of the par ties weary is easily severed. The women hold their property ndepend- ently, and in case of divorce there is an equitable division of the commun- ity property. The children always go with the mother. Incompatibility of temper is a most excellent ground for separations The greater part of the outside work is done by the men, the women looking after the household af- fairs. They eat together. and when travelling the man often carries the pappoose. /
 One of the duties of the women is the care of the sheep, and the flocks are tended almost entirely by the young girls, who employ their leisure moments in spinning yarn that is us- ed in making blankets. These girls are the shepherdesses and the sheep are never disposed of without their consent. In fact no bargain is ever made by Navajo without first con- sulting his wife. The husband never strikes his wife, and if she abandon him he consoles himself by killing

As a matter of fact our soldiers are returning to civil life absolutely pen niless and in many cases with back pay due them. Furthermore, they are wandering about the streets in com plete ignorance as to where they shall make further insurance and liberty bond payments in case they should earn sufficient money for that pur- pose, but there is absolutely no one in authority to enlighten them and no one who seems to care picayune re- garding their future in that respect. 
 This whole question of procrastina- ton on the part of the government in the payment of allotments and allow ances to suffering, starving mothers, wives and children of soldiers con stitutes the chief tragedy of the war, so far as America is concerned.
 In this matter of the heartless con- duct of the government, let me quote letter from mother in my state, which, in simple language, speaks more eloquentlX than I can or any other senator on this floor. Mrs. J. E.. Romaine, Haywood, N. J., writes me as follows:
 'I am in receipt of communi-
 cation from the treasury de-
 pertinent, bureau of war risk in
 surance, stating that the allot-
 ment and allowance of my son
 l. 4z .L
 in full to me September 30 for
 S25, had been overpaid by the
 government, as he was killed in
 action on the 25th Qf September.
 The demand is made upon me to
 refund to the treasury depart
 ment S4.17.
 "I was not aware that the sol
 diers were employed by the gov
 ernment by the day or hour. If
 you, dear senator, were employ
 ing a man by the month and he
 was away sick or had died few
 days before his month was up,
 would you deduct from his salary
 these few days? l, as poor as
 am, would feel that I was in
 honor bound to pay this trivial
 $4.17. Dear sir, what would you
 advise-return this S4.17 or not ?'
 What a picture of pathos! And too, on the other hand, what an ex- hibition of brutal asininity on the part of the government! Has it become such Cheap John affair that it must hound the heartbroken mothers of the land in cases like this?
 shall not detain the senate by quoting further from hundreds of letters in my files, begging for aid in securing expeditions action upon allot- ment- allowance claims. The pages of the congressional record would not suffice to present even a small fraction of them.

off Italy from one Of the sources OF
supply of manufactured products. 1t
is not necessary here to enlarge upon
the we'll known fact that Italian mar.
kets were largely under the domination
of Germany and Austria. That is a
situation that is as we'll known to
Americans as it is and was distasteful
to Italians. And it might be said in
passing that it is situation that must
be guarded against by allied co-opera-
ton and sympathetic economic rela-
tionship when peace comes
Mr.. Francis H. Sisson, vice presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust Company,
in recent article on the economic
situation of Italy points out that while
Germany before the war dominated
the foreign trade of Italy so far as
manufactures were concerned, that
country was one of the best customers
OF the United States in raw materials
and foodstuffs. That writer also points
out that it was the adjustment of her
industrial and commercial life to the
burdensome new conditions that has
created an entirely new economic fab
ric in Italy.
"Italy's devotion of her resources to
war purposes has been complete" says
Mr.. Sisson. "Her pre-eminence in the
production of certain articles of com.
merce marked her as the chief source
of supply for similar products of o
warlike nature. Her ordinary produc-
ton of automobiles, aeroplanes, tur-
bines and heavy oil engines has mere
ly been intensified and modified in tho
direction of such a Standardization as
would permit quantity production"
Financially Italy Responded Well.
Financially Italy also has responded
to the demands Of war with an open
handedness that has surprised even her
self. From the first of August, 1914, to
the end of 1917 the total expenditures
of the state were. $8,S95, 100000 Cal

Over $500 miles Of roads have been
constructed on the mountains of Italy
and of Albania, and 1000 miles of

Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure of the nation and the nature
and number of its population. One
must remember that out of 100000
inhabitants in Italy at the beginning
of the war only 100000 were male.
This seeming disproportion is caused
by emigration, which was largely COM
posed of male adults. Out of those
100000 only 100000 were adults
economically productive. Consequent
~ the subtraction of the modified
forces has had an acute reaction on
the' economic life of the nation. 1t is
estima:e0 that on an average only 100
adults remained in each town or viii
lage to provide in each case for some
800 children below the age of fifteen.
Furthermore, the traditions of Ital-
ian family life render the work of their
women an economic factor Of less i'm
portance than in some other countries.
though it has been utilized to the Ut
most and is becoming more available
as old traditions give way to wars ne
cessity.
No Troops From Colonies.
Italy got nonhelp from colonial con-
tingents. On the contrary, the scarcity
OF native troops in Italy's colonies
compelled the government to reinforce
them with troops from the mother
country. Nor has help come to Italy
through the cooperation Of worknen
of neutral or allied countries. Italy,
on the other hand, sent a large con-
tingent of skilled workmen to France.
