WAS BAD | !. Omen.
Presence Of Thirteenth Ship Now
Mystery Of the Sea.
Its Appearance under the circum-
stances Always unaccountabie
and Death Twice Claimed tho
First Man to Sight 1t.

The thirteenth ship" remains among
the mysteries of the war. have never
heard any one try to explain 1t, says
"Jackstaff" In the London Daily Mail.
Even the most matter-of-fact people ap-
pear content to state facts as they are
known and leave it at that.
When the Norwegian convoy that
was attacked by an enemy raiding
force In November, 1917, left port it
consisted of II ships. Later thir-
teenth ship was added-or added it.
self. No one actually saw it Join, no
one in the end saw it leave.
Just before the fight Lieutenant
Commander Fox of the Mary Rose,
counted and reported Is ships where
there should have been only II. Thir-
teen there were at the beginning Of the
fray and only IL when it ended. The
stranger vanished as mysteriously as
she appeared. At least that is what
eyewitnesses say ~ /
It will be within every ones recollec-
ton that the raid resulted disastrous
ly for us. Among our losses was the
Mary Rose, the vessel that first sight
ed and reported the thirteenth ship.
Can any one suggest an explanation
of the occurrence? have no theory
to put forward. But here is a some
what similar war happening within
my own personal experience: ,.
One evening in the bay of Biscay
four Of us were standing on the
bridge of small warship watching
the other vessels of the squadron.
Look, there are three trawlers over
there now" said one Of my compan-
ions pointing to starboard. =
Impossible" declared the skipper
through the chart house window All
ships are in station and there are only
two there. You can't see straight" !
but there are three!" persisted the
first speaker, and we others corroborat-
ed him, the signalman adding, II can't
make her out, sir; she doesn't seem to
belong to our crowd" ..#
Out from the chart house came the
skipper and joined the little group
who were watching the stranger. Who
ever she might be or wherever she
might have come from, the one un-
doubted fact was that there she lay,
rolling steadily along between the
"double-ender'' and the tubby old
trawler that had been our familiar
companions during many days.
While we were specializing as. to the
strangers identity our 'snottie" gasped
out an astonished "Why, she's gone!"
And gone she had! We looked
carefully to see whether she, lad be-
come hidden behind one Of her com

panions. But no. the stranger Hsup;5
peared as eerily as she came. and we
could not understand how. Most. Of
us attached little Importance to the
occurrence. The skipper took a differ
ent view of It.
1T wasn't ship at ALL" he declared
gravely. "but warning that before
the year is out the sea will claim one
Of u.s."
We laughed at his prophecy. Yet 1t
Is fact that before the, year was out
the sea had claimed the man who first
sighted the mysterious ship!

WE CAN'T ALL BE INDIANS

Of course, we cant all be Indians and some of us may not wish to be. But the Indian nowa- days must lead happy life if he is getting in paying for service that poor Lo is presumed to be getting.
 Homer Snyder, chairman of the house con- mittee on Indian affairs, charges that the Indian bureau under Commissioner Cato Sells, now has on its payroll 5000 employees, number peril ousy near the full-blooded Indian population of the country. Now these 5000 employees do not act as valets and chambermaids to the Indians, as you might suspect-not at all. They merely hold down nice desk jobs. .and travelling commits sions for the most part, and they keep "all wised up'' about Lo and his comings and goings and doings generally and they spend millions of dol lars annually in keeping the Indian cheered up and happy and themselves also cheered up and happy.
 MT. Snyder says that in 1913 the annual ap- prOpriatiOns for the Indian bureau amounted to $9,470,000, which is quite sizeable sum for h. dians, taking them mine run, but MT. Sells the commissioner, seems to have caught step with the extravaganza of the age and although there are hot now as many Indians in the United States as in 1913, he spent $15, 900 on his depart ment in 1919 and is asking $17, 100000 for the present year. MT. Snyder says that Sells has wasted $4O,00O00O on Indians in the Indian bu- reau. Apparently the only way the taxpayers can catch up even with that kind of extravaganza is to turn Indian and get some of the money but maybe the regular Indians are not even get ting the money-who knows?

About the "saddest" face we have seen m many days was that of Tony Johns the other day There were tear stains all down his vest and his ears were getting caoused from rubbing to- gether around back of his head, all because he had heard that Hunt was going to Siam. Be- tween convusions he kept continually lingering his hat and if we were real sport we would be willing to bet that that hat of his will be found in the ring pretty soon for the democratic nom- ination for governor. We'll, we have known Tony ever since he commenced chewing tobacco and if we are forced to use democratic governor we are inclined to believe his brand would be the easiest to take.

The republicans assembled in state conven- tion recently, decided that it was permissible for person to be a member of the party without having to crawl serviley on his belly before the self-apponted throne of the inner circle It was also decided that the old methods used in ward politics where the select caucused in the back end of saloon and there cut the victims throat and threw him into the alley, were not the kind of politics to be used in state convention.

It will be a reproach on American manhood if we have to seek president in foreign lands Mr. Hoover might as well aspire to the premier ship of Australia, the presidency of China, the lord mayoraty of London, or the maharajah ship of Burma with capital at Mandalay, as to force his ambitions for the presidency of the United States.

The Phoenix Messenger suggests that the Republicans go to the. scrap heap of democratic platforms for platform. The average demo- cratic platform never was much more .than a scrap heap when it was made and was only made to "get in on," not for use.

President Wilson's declaration: "The cove nant of the league of nations is greater than our constitution and greater than our government itself," does not seem to wash down strong even with the democratic members of the senate. Many of them are coming to realize that they are elected about every so often by American citizens, instead of the allied nations.
The Coconino sun., 1920-03-05

No, Mark; the tears you have noticed in the eyes of the different democratic brethren you have met since Hunt received and accepted the appointment as ambassador to Siam, are not tears at the bitterness of parting; they are from overlapping in secret places-they do not dare laugh all together for fear the noise might dis turb all other business.
The Coconino sun., 1920-03-05

The democrats in the United States senate have stood pat for President Wilson and his treaty about as long as they can. The break has come and even our Henry has come to realize that some reservations would be good thing. He wobbed at the suggestion of Hearst once be- fore, but was reclaimed by Wilson again.
