ing Anglo-SaxQn invaders. It's cove
is set forth in six points. It. was
ratified on the day Of, its formulation
and presentation, and it was. kept
without amendment for fifty years.
The preliminary council. the draft
fng and ratification were all concluded,
within a week. It included repara-
tion. Article s contains. the naive
provision for the beginning of universal
disarmament. The record reveals
that the savage" hot only ratified but
took the initiative in adrawing up the
covenant and treaty.

History of Plymouth Plantation"
which says:
The Indians came skulking about

,worke, and were gone to diner. But.
about6the 16. Of March a certaine In
dian came bouldly amongst them, and
spoke to them in broken English,
which they could well understand, but
marvelled at it.. At length they un-
derstood by discourse with him, that
he was not OF these parts, but belong
ed to the casterne parts, wher some
English ships came to fish, with whom
he was acquainted and could name
sundrie Of them by their names,
amongst whom he had gott his Lam
guage.
He became profitable to them IN
acquainting them with many things
concerning the state Of the country in
the .east-parts wher he lived, which.

and they brought aEaine all the tooles
that were, stolen away before, and

their great Saehem, called Massasoyt;
who. about 4. or 5. days after, came
with thec heefe 81 his friends and

SquaE.o, with whom. after friendly en-
tertalnment and some gifts given him,
they made q peace with him in these
terms:
II. That neither he nor n of his.
should injurie or doe hurte to any of
the peopl.
80 That If any OF. his did any hurte
to Of theirs. he should send the Of

u. That il anything were taken
away from any Of theirs, he should
cause 1t to be restored: and they
should doe the like to his.
=. II any did untustly

any did war; against them, he should
aide them.
SO. If He should send to HIS neigh

Is. That when ther men came to

Their Advance Likely Before
Spring

dealers in Burlington. Monday and this
means that practically the entire state

the increased cost of labor in the yards.

price will remain until spring. The wages
of most of the employees of the coal COM
