PARIS. France, July IA great
American taxicab invasion of Eu-
rope is about to begin. Twenty-Five
sample American taxis were sold In
Paris last week. If they give salts
faction it will mean the sale of 500
more, according to John D. Hertz,
who is visiting in this city. In
time it is hoped TO replace all the
snub- nosed aSthmatic motor cars
which now grace the Champs Eiysees
with brilliant American cars.
We have worked out plans by
which we think we can compete with
the French manufacturers despite the
high tariff on American automo-
biles" said Mr.. Hertz
Though convinced that he can in
troduce American methods in Paris.
MIR. Hertz has no Illusions about the
bitterness of the competition he will
have to meet. He knows that Re
nault and Citroen, the automobile
manufacturers who now get most OF
the taxi trade here, will spare no ef-
fort to check him. These men have
proved themselves to be among the
best and most resourceful business
men in France. If they think 1t
necessary they may persuade the
French government to raise the Gus
toms duties on American machinery
to a prohibitive level If successful
In Paris, American cabs will be intro
duced in other European cities.

JAPAN BANKS CURB
LOANS ON RAW SILK
Destruction of Export Business
Feared in High Cost Being
Charged for Cocoons.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associate Press.
TOXIC, June 19.-Considerable
comment has been evoked regarding
the attitude adopted by the Bank of
Japan, which advised the bankers
throughout the country to withhold
accommodation to the raw silk manu-
facturers who may be induced to buy
the new seasons cocoons at their
extraordinarily high price.
The reason advanced by the Bank
of Japan is that if the cocoons are
bought at their prevailing high cost
raw silk produced therefrom must be
sold at such a high price that the
export trade would decline. There
that the price of cocoons should be
brought down to a more reasonable
level for the sake of national eco
nomics.
The attitude assumed by the Bank
Of Japan, however, is resented by
president of the Manegafuchi Spin
! ming Co.. acting as their spokesman.
gives his views Of the subject in the
press. Mr.. Muto characterizes the
attitude taken by the bank as un-
called for and intended to upset the
economic laws of supply and demand.
I'm 1920. when economic circles
were faced with panic" says Mr..
Muto. the cocoon producers were
obliged to resort to sacrifice sales.
thereby sustaining heavy losses. 1t
is true that the silk manufacturers
were also put to considerable diff
Guilty, but in their case the govern
ment came to the rescue and their
difficulties were materially lessened
by the establishment of the Imperial
Raw Silk Co., which undertook to buy
up the stock at fixed prices. The cocoon
producers, however, had no redress
and were the principal sufferers at
the time, The consequence was that
the yield of cocoons last year showed
decrease as against the previous
year, and this years yield Is likely
to show a decrease of 10 per cent
on 1921"

colonization of lands on the Island
Hawaiians. in an endeavor to re-
habilitate the dying race-has
every chance of success, in the
opinion of DR.. Elwood Mead, dean
Of the college of agriculture Of the
University of California and head
of the California state land devel-
opment board, expressed after Dr.
Mead had made a survey of the
lands available.
DR.. Mead was brought to Hawaii
by the homes commission, which Is
charged with carrying on the prof.
ect under the congressional act
order that the committee might
have the benefit of his advice and
experience gained from colonial
tion projects In California.
DR.. Mead's main criticism of the
plans of the commission was that
the land allotted to each settler
twenty acres-would be too large,
as 1t has been aecertained in Cali
fornia that a family without capi-
tai resources could not cultivate
successfully more than from three
to eleven acres of irrigated land.
Gov. Wallace r. harrington, ex-
officio chairman of the homes
commission. pointed out that the
rehabilitation law provides a mini
mum of twenty acres for each
homesteader. and that an amend
ment by Congress would be neces-
sary before farms of lesser area
could be allotted.
The commission announced that
three families will be placed on
the lands in August, and four more
lots would be ready for occupancy
in September. A total of twenty
two lots will comprise the first
rehabilitation settlement. and the
remainder are expected to be. occu-
pied before the end of the year.

It's a Long, Long Way to Andy Rowan

Rowan did not ask who Garcia "as'
where he could be found, or how to
get there.
Instead he delivered the message
to General Garcia, in the interior OF
Cuba, where Garcia with his little
band Of patriots was almost sur
rounded by Spanish forces. Rowan
knew that If the message were inter-
cepted by the Spaniards he would be
shot or hanged as spy.
Garcia, heartened by the promise OF
aid from the United States, just en-
tering the war with Spain, fought on
and the foe was overcome.
Lieutenant Rowan was cited by Cen
eral Miles In dispatches to Washing
ton as follows:
"This was q most perilous under
taking, and in my judgment Lieuten-
ant Rowan performed an act Of hero
ism and cool daring that has rarely
been excelled in the annals OF war
fare" ri n
Rowan later was appointed lieuten
ant colonel Of volunteers, and In 19Oe

with the rank Of major. He resides

CHIEF GALL, A GENERAL Or
THE HUNKPAPAS
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

HpAINFUL as it is to me TO look
L upon the pictured face OF an In
dian, never dreamed that there couio
be so fine a specimen of the warrior
in all the tribes as this man. wrote
Mrs. Custer of a photograph OF Can
Pizi). chief of the Hunkpapa Sioux.
Gall was an orphan boy who became
q chief by his deeds as warrior. Ihat
he possessed high military talents was
shown at the Battle of Little Big
Horn.
Although the honOrs there were
about equally divided between Gal
and Crazy Horse, the credit for one
vital Indian maneuver in the battle be-
longs to the Hunkpapa alone. When
Reno attacked the Indian village, the
Indians were thrown into confusion.
Into their midst dashed Gall mounted
on his black war horse. Hold hard,
men !" he shouted, STEADY, we are not
ready yet. Wait for more guns, more
horses and the day is yours"
They obeyed him and few minutes
later he led the charge which forced
Reno to retreat. With this officer
eliminated, Gall led his savage host
across the river to Join Crazy Horse
in overwhelming Clusters five troops.
Gall then tried to follow up his ad-
vantage by returning to annihiiate
Reno, besieged on the bluffs, but his
warriors who were plunderirg the
fallen solA:ers did not care to help
him achieve this final master stroke.
Gall followed Sitting Bull to Canada
in 1877, but three years later WITH
drew his support and returned to the
United States to surrender. AS
fighting man, Gall despised the high
pretensions Of Sitting Bull and dared
to denouItce his leader as fraud and
a coward even when Sitting Bull was
still a power among his people. He
was a proud man, too. After the sur
| render of the tribe, Col. w. F. Cody

and Gall for leading attractions In his
Wild West show. Sitting Bull con-
sented. II am not an animal to be ex-
hibited before the crowd" replied Gall
haughtily as he turned away to his
| lodge.
| After settling on the reservation,
Gall cast his influence toward peace
and steadily opposed the reactionary
influence of Sitting Bull. He was made
Judge of the court of Indian offenses.
In that position he had the satisfac-
ton of haling Sitting Bull into court
and confiscating the tomahawk with
which the old man assaulted a chlef
named Shell King as we'll as the knife
which Shell King had tried to use on
Sitting Bull.
Gall died December 5, 1894.

SITTING BULL WHO WAS THE
INDIAN SPHINX

VIIHEN historians have written the
T w last word about the American
Indian. they will be unable to agree in
their estimate of Sitting Bull (Tatan-
ka Yotanka) chief Of the Hunkpapa
Sioux. Perhaps no other Indian ever
received so much notoriety; probably
none ever deserved it less.
He was not hereditary chief nor
q great war leader. Some who knew
him have called him coward; others
say he was brave enough but prudent.
In the strictest sense he was not
medicine man, as he frequently has
been called. although his personal
medicine" was strong. Who. then.
and what was Sitting Bull? He was
keen Judge Of human nature and ne
was lucky in his prophecies, notably
in predicting the destruction OF Gen.
eral Custer. He was great leader
with some mysterious power over his
people.
Perhaps they saw personified in him
the undying spirit Of resistance to the
white man. "God Almighty made me
an Indian. He didn't make me an
agency Indian and I don't intend to
he one" he told General Miles in 1877.
That was the keynote Of his whole
career. It resulted in his leading his
people to Canada where they remained
until 1881. when starvation forced him
to return to the United States and
surrender.
Sitting Bull had grim sense OF hu-
NOR: Once a trader at Fort Buford
gave him a red shirt with the sugges-
tion that he wear it when he came for
war. Sitting Bull accepted the gar
ment with the remark that fright now
would be a good time to put 1t on
He did so and when his band left the
trading post they turned and fired
volley into the building.
The old chief had two wives, and
when Bishop Marty tried. to persuade
him to divorce one, Sitting Bull re.
n,ied: "The black gown is my friend
and 7 will do this for him. l will put
away both my wives and he Will gel
mo white wife," The proposition
was not accepted.
In the Sixties Sitting Bull had said
.srhe whites may get me at last, put
will have a good time until then"
He proved true prophet In saying
that In an effort to quiet the ghos
dance excitement, Indian police wer'
sent on December Is, 1890, to arres
sitting Bull. Some of the Hunkpap'
resisted and in the melee that followe'
Sitting Bull was shot dead. Like KIM
philip and Pontiac he was killed b,
members of his own race, but. as h
foretold. the ''whites got him at last.
