UTION MARKS AMERICAS FOREIGN POLICY

a new war. Aside from all e.se, this means
that the European market will be closed
to American exports indefinitely, with evil
effects for us which can hardly be exag-
gerated.
On the other hand, If American endorse
ment of allied policy goes beyond calcu-
lated limits, we may still have the war
The time may we'll come when our own
interests and our own rights, let alone the
world conditions may entitle u.s. compel us
to expressour opinion as to the reasonable
ness of allied claims upon Germany. That
time Is not now and will not arrive while
the German arrogates to himself the sole
right to decide. But come it probably will,
unless German madness unchnins the deiuge
which is more than a possibility at the
moment.
When Mr.. Wilson went tn Paris he had

sources of the country, subject to executive

TO accept unlimited European responsible

New Wars May Arise
From Matters Now in Balance

Now 1 do not pretend to know what Mr..
Harding or Mr.. Hughes may believe In the
matter of remedies, but 1T seems fairly
clear that at the moment they are forced
to consider the very practical questions OF
world conditions Unless order is restored
in Europe we shall have economic depres
sion at home indefinitely. But the United
States is not now prepared to undertake a
receivership of Europe or of the world, put
ting In the new capital necessary, employ
ing the armies and the fleets necessary.
The new Administration cannot say, do
this" or "Do that" as Mr. Wilson did at
Paris, because ii cannot at the same time
agree 10 ylo something else itself. 1t can
not say to Britain and France, Reduce your
claims upon Germany" because the United
States expects to get back its loans and il
cannot get back its loans to a continent
which Is otherwise bankrupt If it insists
upon a reduction Of the German reparations.
1t cannot say to France, as some iooIlsh
people keep insisting Reduce your armies
and you will avoid bankruptcy because it
is not prepared TO guarantee French secur
ity If the French. having disarmed. are
again attacked.
Much as the Administration may dlsap-
prove of certain things done by our recent
associates, either in the case OF Germany
or more Immediately in our case. ii cannot
express its view with any show of blunt
ness, because every German IS eagerly look
ing for some American expression which
will encourage him to the final act OF de
fiance or rather to a perseverance in the
present course, which, after all, represents
supreme defiance. Even so simple and nee
essary a step as abolishing the ridiculous
state of war now obtaining with Germany
involves considerations which are well IL
lustrated by the viviani mission. Yet obvi-
ously that step must be taken.

SeminoleS Still Hold Ancient Grudge

w called recently entity, upon tn the 'r,s'- prssi
dent and Mrs Harding at the
White House to pay their respects to the
Chief Executive and to petition for various
things of interest to them, there was one
group of the redman residing in the United
States which was conspicuous by its alb
sence, and this particular group has always
been absent on such occasions and probably
always will be.
The Seminoles Of Florida residents of the
Everglades, have never accepted favors from
the Government and make no petitions.
These Indians found in the lower part
of the state on both the east and west
coasts.
They are nursing a crouch first enter
tanned by their ancestors in 1897. They tell
their children Of the reason for II and instil
in them a proud resentment OF what they
declare to have been an injustice done them
by more powerful people.
Resentment Due to Capture
OF OsceoIa Under Flag of Truce
They are referring to the fact that Chief
Osceola was captured in lS37 under a flag
OF truce which practically ended the second
Seminole war, although il not formally
declared to be at an end until 1912. when
many Seminoles ceded their lands and emil
grated 10 Arkansas, where they received the
lands allotted 10 them by the Government.
The remainder, however consisting Of
those in the lower part Of Florida. refused
&c cede any property whatever and retired
into the Everglades to cultivate their simple
crops. fish. hunt and rear families. They
are not vicious. never beg and rarely ever

Their principal occupation. so far as con

In Florida or who visit there during the

Agents and Indians
Clash in Hunt for Murderer

They obeyed Osceoa rather than the
Indian agent Some time later Osceola went
TO tho headquarters Of the agent and was
at once placed in irons. He was confined
for several months and was released upon
his promise to become a good Indian. Osce-
ola, however, forgot his promise when again
the order to move was given. This time one
of the chiefs attempted to lead away his
band and he was murdered. This really
precipitated the war, as the activities Of the
Government in seeking the murderers
sentatives of the Government and the lndi-
ans. Later these became regular battles
with thousands engaged on each side.
In September. 1897. Chief Osceola asked
for parey under flag of truce with Gen.
Thomas Sidney Jesup, Gen. Jesup granted
the interview but was careful to have
enough men on hand to carry out his
project While talking with Chief Osceoa
q signal was given and not only Osceola out
ali the Indians with him were seized and
captured
Osceola was taken under heavy guard to
Fort Moultrie. South Carolina. where he
died in January. 1888 having lived in cap
tivity only few months. The Indians con-
tend that his heart was broken by the be-
trayal and the end OF his dream of keeping
for the Semlnoles Of Florida the lands of
their ancestors.
Those who had loved and followed Osceola
retired TO tho Everglades I'm 1S42, and they
have been nursing their crouch ever since.

was that nobody in all of Brooklyn

Archiopoli said he would tell all the po-

the dog. and that he would also send
