when, under license, booze, hootch,

Yank Tourists
in France Were
Few This Year

Paris, Sept. 15.--France is dis
tinctly disappointed because the
number of American tourists who
visited the battlefields this summer
was far below expectations. She
had been led to expect more than
100000 visitors from the United
States and to count upon an i'm
provement in the exchange situa-
ton through the immense amount
of money they would spend. AS a
matter of fact it is estimated that
not one-tenth of this number came
and that very small percentage Of
these could be classed as spend
ers."
M. Fernand Davis, former Cabi-
net member and president of the
national touring organization, be-
lieves that American visitors weer
not numerous because they could
not find accommodations on trans
atlantic liners. He hopes to see
conditions changed next year.
There were many other rea-
sons" he added. For one thing
the passport difficulties have not
been removed. Then the earnings
of many Americans who might
have come to France were quite
seriously affected by the wave of
price reduction in the United tSates.

came from German sources, injured

that prices were so high in France
that only millionaires or princes

the way of providing accommoda-

committees estimate of the amount
of paper that will be needed at the

the year ending March /. 1921.
The needs of the government print
ing office, however, amount TO only
about one-half of the total amount
of paper used by the federal govern

DDS. The various departments, under
the present administration, contract
for great quantities of printing by
private printers, and also use mil
Ions of pounds Of paper annually for
mimeographing statements and other
documents.
Most of the 100000 pounds of
newsprint that it is estimated gov

Dealers association of South Dakota,
to be held in Watertown on Thurs

especially affecting South Dakota in
particular may be discussed from
various standpoints, existing miscon-
ceptions cleared up and organized
effort made to meet the emergency.
In April a letter was sent to 1000

shippers, millers, bankers and rail
road officials, asking for suggestions
as TO organized efforts to meet or

To RIGHT WRONG
DONE TO INDIANS
BILL INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
BY CANDY GOES TO PRESI-
DENT

Deadwood, June 2.-After many
years the descendants of the Indian
tribes which formerly occupied the
territory known as the Black Hills
are to have their claims adjusted by
the United States court of claims.
According to information received
from Washington the bill introduced
in congress by Congressman Harry l..
Candy has been passed and sent to
the president for his approval
The original treaty by which the
rich territory embraced in the Black
Hills was ceded to the United States
was made and approved September
20, 1876. Under this treaty the In
dams practically received nothing for
their lands, except rations which
were continually doled out by the
government for over 40 years. Fol
lowing the making of this treaty
came the great gold rush to the Black
Hills. Since that time the Indians
have contended that they were un-
fairly treated, and that their lands
were taken away from them without
lust compensation. Congressman
Gandy's bill is for the purpose OF
righting those wrongs as near as pos
sible.
