T.. s. The Census Bureau Just in
formed me that they expect 10 have
these figures available the early part
Of next week, and will let me know
Last Wednesdays Chicago Tribune

SENATOR M0RIARTY WANTS MED
IcAL ATTENTION GIVEN THEM
VIEU DESERT TRIBE DwINDlES
Infested With tuberculosis And
Syphilis The Indians Are Rapidly
Approaching Extinction

The horrible condition OF the Ind
ians at the village on the north
shores OF Lac Vieu Desert has attrac-
ted the attention of the people OF this
section and, under the lead OF Sen
ator Moriarty, an effort is to be made
to get the government interested in
their relief.
The Indians were quite numerous
at Vieu Desert at one time but OF
late they have been dying so fast that
only a handful is left and what few
remain are so effected with Syphilis
and resultant tuberculosis that unless
some attention is given them, there
will be no Indians left in very few
years.
The Edwards and Williams families
are about extinct now. These famil-
les occupied lands about Chicagon
lake in the early days and old John
Edwards, chief OF the tribe, was a
well known figure on our streets as
late as the arly nineties.

ONLY PAN-ARABS ARE OPPOSED
TO ZIONISM SAYS ENIIR FEISAL.

New York-Emir Feisal. dcposcd
King of Syria, now on his way TO
England. has appealed to the Zionist
leaders in London to aid him in pre-
venting Arabia from losing its indie
pendcncc. according to an interview
he gave to the Arabic newspaper Ma
fir" published in Cairo. just received
by the Zionist Organization of Amer
lea.
Feisal declares in the interview that
the rabid pan-Arabs. whom he was
powerlcss to resist. are responsible for
all the agitation against Zionism. He
says that the opposition of Arab ex-
tremists to Great Britain's Zionist
policy is responsible for the downfall
of the Arab government at Damascus.
The Emir expresses the hope that the
Zionist leaders in London will inter
vene OH behalf of Arabia. SO that it
will not lose its Independence.
The interview clarifies publicly n
situation which Zionist leaders have
known for some time, that Emir Feisal
who publicly expressed his friendship
for Zionism at the Peace Conference.

there. was not expressing his real
views il his recent opposition to the
movement. but that his hand was he
ing forced by Arab extremists. who
do not represent the yiews q. the mass
of Arabs In Palestine.
Zionist leaders here emphasize that
the great majority Of Arabs in Pal
cstine are friendly to ZiOnism and wei
come it in Palestine. because it means
an improvement in their economic and
political condition. The anti-Zionist
feeling in Palestine they point out.
is engendered by few agitators. rep
rosenting not the mass Of the people.
but the rich. absentee landlords. whose
exploitat ton of the Arab peasant would
naturally cease with the establishment
of the Jewish National Homeland in

is very popular with the Arab people
and is their recognized leader. has
virtually thrown himself upon the
good offices of Zionist leaders in Eng
land and has publicly admitted that

ism has caused the downfall of his
government and threatens its indie
pendence. it is expected here in Zion.
