Russian People Tired of
 Internationale Anthem

MOSCOW, Feb. 10.-Tne "Interna- tionale" is fast becoming lost song in Russia. Nobody wants to sing #, It is never heard in the streets of Moscow, or in the towns of the provinces. When it is played by or. der in public gatherings. the crowds and audiences refuse to join in the sirging.
 This was illustrated at the Grand Opera. recently, when Leon Trotzky, the War Minister. appeared with some friends in a box. The orches- tra struck up the tune of the revolu- ton and but a very few in the audi ence rose out of respect.
 Lately Isaadora Duncan. after 8 public performance of her dances, asked the audience to join her in singing the 'Internationale." This seemed a signal for the audience ao leave Everybody began going out as the orchestra played and Miss Duncan was left to sing alone.
 One of the reasons for the lack of enthusiasm for the song is that it has been sung too much, People are tired of it, here. just as British sol diers got tired of "Tipperary.' Old papers icr sale st The Empire

WANTS FREEDOM

 MAKES CHARGES
Mere Excuse for Delaying Freedom Is Reply to
 Gov. Gen. Wood.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-The re- port of the Woods-Forbes Mission, which advised against granting inde pendence to the Philippines, was crit icized in the House by Isauro Gabal don, one of the resident commission CTS from the Islands, who declared that his people could neither agree to nor accept the recommendations of the investigators.
 Contending that the report had served only to increase the insist ence of Filipinos for independence, AIr. Gabaldon said, i've can find no other conclusion than that the object of the investigators was to find ex- cuses for delaying independence" In deciding the fitness of the Islands for independence, he declared that the mission had set arbitrary quail fications that no nation on earth can now or ever will be able to meet.
 "The report is a clever but un worthy attempt to change the issue From that of stable government to multitude of other conditions not re- quired by Congress" he asserted.
 As two additional developments in the Pacific, which make granting of independence at this time 'oppor- tune" MT Gabaldon mentioned the four-power pact treaty and the fact that the Nationalsta party. which, he declared was in the overwhelm- ing majority, had adorted a platform in favor of independence without pro- tection. sA

WICK FL0PS ON INDIAN RIGHTS
 IN LATE BRIEF
Reverses Former Attitude on Questions of Indians Be-
 coming Citizens.

Fre-h fHc. has been added to the ! question ci ndila righs as citizens ] by a lcttor written by Judge Jmmez WickershIm to Louis F. Paul, grand pres dent ot the Alaska Nl.ive Bro n erhooj. in which the former reverse5 his position taken on numerous occa- sions that the Melakat]ans and oth. er Alaska Indians are not American citizens. In his letter 10 Mir. Paul. Mir Wickersham holds that not only are certain Me:lakatlans citizens. bat so are any other Alaska Indians who joined the Metlakatlan colony and the children of both classes of In. dians.
 Quotes Recent Brief
 Under the date of December 30, 1921, Judge Wickersham is said to have written MT Paul, in part. as follows:
 q have just completed the brief for the Territory in the suit against the Annette Island Packing Company 70 recover their license taxes. I have c0ncluded that since the Metla- katlans were British subjects when they came to Alaska, their children, born in Alaska, are citizens of the United States under the first clause of the Amendment to the Constitu tion; and that the few Alaskan In dans who joined the Metlakatlan colony thereby became citizens-they and their children--2nd that all the children of the Metlakatlans and oth CT Alaskan natives bern in Alaska are American citizens"
 Change Is Recent
 That this view of the matter rep resents q complete reversal of atti- tude on Judge Wickcrsham' part is indicated by speech made in this community by him but little mora than 30 days prior to the date given on the above letter to Paul. On No vcnber 19, 1921 speaking before the closing meeting of the 1921 annual convention of the Alaska Native Bro herhood, Wickersham said as re gwds the Indians residing in the Me1akatla, Hyda and Klawock reser yations: ''It is my judgment as your friend and lawyer, that they cannot become citizens if they live there In the same speech he referred spa to the Metlakatla situation and said that the original colonists who came to Alaska and settled a. Metlakatl1 were not recognized . of Canada and could not be in the manner provided for foreigners of the white or black races.
 Taxes Involved in Suit
 Judge Wichersham' 5 later opinion that certain Indians are citizens is included in a brief in the suit in stituf ed by the Territory against the Annette Island Packing Company. He is appearing for the Territory in pace eff the Attorney General, who ro1ro osented the company prior to his taking office.
