Indians Attack
And Injure Man

Sisseton, March 23.-Howard and
Edward Red Earth, educated Sisse-
ton Sioux Indians, who are broth
ers, have been lodged in the county
jail here on the charge of having
made a murderous assault upon
Charles ("Scotty") Brady. The ex-
act nature of the charge to be fin
ally made against them will depend
upon the outcome of Brady's injur-
les.
One story is to the effect that the
two brothers and Brady were engag-
ed in moonshine debauch when a
fight started and the brothers at
tackled Brady, crushing in his face
and otherwise injuring him in a SER
ious manner Even If Brady re-
covers he will be disfigured for life.
Another story is that the two broth
ers met Brady on a public highway
while crazed with liquor and attack
ed him there.
Six high school boys who were on
a hike found Brady lying uncon-
scious In the road, with his face so
smased and disfigured that he could
scarcely be recognized. They sum-
moned assistance and the injured
man was taken to Peever for medical
treatment. He was barely able to
whisper the names of the Red Earth
brothers, and their arrest followed.
John Doe proceedings We're held
here to investigate the illegal traffic
in liquor In Roberts county and a
number of other arrests are expected
to be made in connection with the
Brady case.

FRANCE MUST
STAY ARMED
THREE MEN TO ONE FOR GER
MANY WHEN ZERO HOUR
SOUNDS AGAIN" URGED.

Paris, March 23.-"France must
have three men to one for Germany,
as standing army, when the zero
hour sounds again." said General de
Castelmau, chairman of the army
commission, in the chamber of dep
uties in advocating the 18 months
service bill, as sponsored by the com
mission.
Germany" General Castelmau
continued, has seven divisions of
infantry and three of cavalry, and
these forces can be trebled overz
night. We are a great pacifist ma
ton, but we cannot vouch for 9TH
ers. Thus, we must remain attached
to the principle of an armed nation. "
France" General De Castelmau
declared, must proceed slowly and
prudently in the reductions in the
army which we desire with all our
hearts in view of the economic in
terests of France and of the entire
world. The danger of war will OBJ
tain as long as Germany does not
abandon her policy for revenge and
the crushing of Frances power.
I'VE must not ignore the rumbl-
ings of rebellion on the African and
Asiatic continents. We must be pre-
pared for all emergencies"
M. Maginot, minister of war, in
formed the chamber that the govern
ment was in accord with the superior
war council for army effectives OF
80 divisions, which were contingent
upon 18 months service with the col
ors.
The feeling in the chamber seems
to be growing decidedly in favor OF
the one years service.

Chicago, March 23.-The basic

at this meeting will either make or
break the organization"
While declaring that the grain
grower had ample work to do with
out trying to become associated
with other cooperative organizations
which would try to distate its poll
cies'' the president asserted that the
best form of cooperation would con-
sist "of working separately on the
details and problems that concern us

FAMINE IS NOT
DUE TO OROUTH
RUSS NATIONS CLAIM NO r
TRUE, SAYS YANKEE.

Washington, d. c., March %
The Russian government was charg-
ed with a large share of responsible
ity for present famine conditions in
Russia in a statement made today to
the senate agricultural committee
which is considering further Russian
relief, by Frank Comes, member
of the American-Ru Russian relief COM
mission.
when 1t is claimed that the fam
inc conditions are due to drouth, it
is not so," said Mr.. Comes, who ac-
companied Capt Paxton Hibben, and
other relief commissioners through
the Russian famine district last sum-
mer. "The government demanded
and the peasants cheerfully gave so
per cent of all products of the farm.
Then the government came by force
and took the remaining 40 per cent.
Peasants told me time and time
again that had the government not
taken this 40 per cent many of these
(famine) conditions need not have
happened"
Mr.. Comes declared more Ameri-
can relief was necessary and esti-
mated the additional sum necessary
at S100, 100000. He characterized
the famine conditions as terrific"
and said they could not be described
nor exaggerated. The witness also
supported the contention OF Capt.
Hibben that the American relief ad-
ministration had made great mis-
take" in not sending American relief
supplies to Black sea ports. Mr..
Comes said his commission had made
railroad transportation ARA e.
ments and cabled the American re-
lief administration, but the latter
he said, made the excuse"
transportation facilities from the
Black Sea were inadequate. AS a re-
suit, Mr.. Comes declared, hundreds
of thousands of starving Russians
were not given relief.
Mr.. Comes had clash with Sen
ator France, republican, of Mary
land who also visited Russia last
year, when the witness criticised the
bolsheviki government and declared
that not more than one person IN
10000 now favored the communistic
form of government.
Mr.. Comes said Senator France
and other Americans who had visit
ed Russia delayed in hotels DrieI
time, talked with few people ana
then returned home in the beilef
that they had a grasp of the situa-
ton.
'aThat is just as reliable as the
other statements of the witness,
Senator France interjectec neatedly,
entering in joint debate with MT.
Comes, regarding popular sentiment
toward the existing Russian govern
ment.
Mr.. Comes recommended that a
congressional commission visit Rus
sia.

gether with the costs of the action.
Most of the defendants paid the

were placed in the county jail to
serve the equivalent of their fines
and costs.

Warsaw, March 23.-- National
