A very brief account of the hith-
erto unwritten expedition Of the
Indians to the Great Lakes, to help
the British, in the 1912 war. There
were the following tribes: Cutheads
with Wanita as leader, he Hunk

leader, the Grossventres, the Man.
dams, a very few Tetons with Taw-
aokeza as leader, Ar;karas, Assini-
boins- with Okedeska as leader.
Waanatan,. called in history Wanita,
was head leader, tho he was only Is
years old. He had been made a
regular captain by the British on
account Of his bravery at sandusky,
and the Indians had given him the
name Of Waanatan, meaning He

These Indians themselves regard
ed this expedition as giving aid to
the French as against the English.

fact it was in aid Of the British a,

States. En- these times Indians ASST

but did not assimilate with the Eng

At the Great Lakes these Indians
saw cannons for the first time.
By che time this expedition ar
at the Great Lakes, the war, in
these parts, was over. Wise old
Indians hoped BY this united exppd-
ition to keep the Northwest Indians
united in q common cause against
the onrushing English speaking
white men, but intrigues BY white
men soon disrupted this none too
strong union Of Indians.
At,this time these Indians claim

BUSINESS Of the Japanese
Aggression. 80.

%PekinE, Jan. a1.-Chinese students
have become active in an effort to
grouse the populace to realization of
the alleged seriousness Of japanese
aggression.jn the Hungchun and Chi
entao districts, by means of street
demonstrations. 81. .l
Several thousand. men and women
students representing 20 schools and
colleges congregated recently in the
plaza before Central Park. here and
marched to the gate leading to the
presidential palace, thence the foreign
office and several of the ministries,
carrying flags and banners with patrt-
otic, inscriptions. ~ .s...-..
At the foreign office DR.. w. ". Yen
spoke to the students from a. balcony.
He is said to have assured them that
the military governor of Manchuria,
Chang Tro-lin. had entered into no
agreement with the japanese. as re-
ported. for military cooperation IN
policing Manchuria. nor had the for
eign office recognized any right on the
part of Japan to send troops into Chi
nese territory.
The students were orderly and there
was no work for the extra police who
were rushed to the various localities
visited. For several days street ora
tors have been busy haranguing
crowds in the streets.
The Japanese sent troops to the
frontier town Of Hungchun in Chinese
territory in October for the announced
purpose of protecting Japanese sub
jects after the town had been raided
by. bandits. This involved the foreigp
ministry of China and japan in a cont
troversy. Commenting on the affair,
F.. Lenox Simpson putnam Weale,
statistician to the president of China
said that Hungchun was the nearest
important point OF Chinese territory
to the Sea of Japan to which Japan
held all the keys, Mr.. Simpson pointed
out that such bandit attacks as those
at Hungchun were always attempted
where Japan seems anxious to install
garrisons." Hungchun is about 80
miles south of Vladivostok where the
borders OF China. Korea and Siberia
meet. and is close to Possiet bay, on
the Sea of Japan.
