LEWIS WETZEL, DEATH WIND
OF THE DELAWARES"

Many OF the great scouts did not
become Indian lighters until they were
men. but Lewis Wetzel started early.
He killed his first Indian when he was
only thirteen years old. Wetzel was
born In Virginia In 1862. His father
moved TO the present site OF Wheeling,
w. Va, and was killed there by the
Indians before the eyes OF his sons,
Lewis swore eternal enmity against all
redskins.
One day while he and his brother
we're roaming In the woods they were
attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one
OF the sayages and the next instant
was hit by bullet which carried away
a piece of his breast bone. Both boys
were taken captive That night while
the Indians slept. wetzel worked
loose the thongs which bound him and
then unfastened his brother.
After the boys had fed for about
mile they discovered that their moe
casins were torn 10 shreds. Leaving
his brother In hiding. Lewis returned
TO the Indian camp aud, undetected by
the sleeping savages. robbed them OF
two pairs Of moccasins as well as a
gun and some powder and lead
The next morning the Indians were
hot on their trail and soon were close
upon them. As the Indians APP
preached, the boys stepped out OF the
trail into clump OF bushes, allowing
their pursuers TO speed past, and then
they followed. Soon they heard the
Indians coming back and again they
stepped into the bushes and hid. The
Wetzel boys played this dangerous
game OF hide-and-seek several times
before they finally eluded the savages
and returned In safety 10 their home.
When Lewis Wetzel grew older he
crossed over into Ohio and soon be-
came one Of the best-known scouts Ia
the country.
Wetzel was called "The Death
Wind" by the Delawares whom he
hated particularly. More than. once n
Delaware warrior trembled with fear
rs he heard a shrill. moaning cry echo
ng through the forest, for II usually
vas followed soon afterward by shot
rom the scouts deadly weapon which
.nded the redskins life.
In his later years wetzeI lost tho
aspect Of many people because he be-.
Ian killing all Indians he met. whefirr
hostile or friendly. and several tl'nes
le was imprisoned for shooting m.qn-
'ers OF peaceable tribes. In his last

that the United States has addressed
a new note to Japan on the zap contro-

stood to be much sharper than any of
its predecessors.
The new communication is the latest
IN series since the international ca
bles conference began trying to dispose
OF former German cables in the Pacific,
which Japan claimed under mandate
powers assigned by League of Nations.
Copies of this latest communication
have been forwarded to Great Britain
and France as interested parties.
1t is understood the United States de-
elines to admit it ever gave consent to
division of islands of the Pacific be
tween Great Britain and Japan, and
emphasizes more strongly than ever he
fore that it cannot accept such an an

BARS MEN IN HOLY ORDERS.
Swiss Government Decides They Cannot
Sit i'm Parliament

BERNE, April 6.-The question
whether men in holy orders are to be ell
igible for membership in the Swiss
parliament has Just been decided by the
Swiss government in the negative. Ac-
cording to Article IS of the Swiss con
stitut ION. no one in holy orders,
whether Protestant or catholic. may sit
in parliament, although he may resign
from tie ministry and then become a
candidate for parliament.
The Roman Catholic chu~nh in Swjtz-
erland is divided on the question of the
dcsirability OF priests being eligible for
parliament, but a large number of Prot
eetants would favor men in holy orders
being in parliament. At any rate, if
priests and pastors are to sit in the
Swiss parliament, the Swiss people must
first decide the question at referendum
and amend Article IS of the constitution
accordingly.
