RED CLOUD VICTOR IN AN
AMERICAN WAR
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

THE average school histories asser
l that America has been victoriou!
In all OF her wars. But they ar
strangely silent about a conflict II
which n man defed the power o.
the United States and dictated his
own terms OF peace. That man was
Red Cloud (Makpiya Luta), chief OF
the Ogallala Sioux.
n government commissioners
sought the right to build forts along
the Bozeman trail to the Montana
gold fields, Red Cloud steadfastly op-
posed this encroachment on the choic-
est hunting grounds of the Sioux. In
a council Of his people he declared: :
"DakotaS, / am Tor war"
Col. H. b. Darlington entered
wyoming, nevertheless, to build the
forts and Red Cloud sent him this
dehant message: II shall stand In
the trail A war followed in which
Tie Ogallala leader killed 81 soldiers
under Colonel Fetterman near Fort
PM kearney. This loss was avenged
the next year when Red Cloud lost
half of the 1900 warriors whom he
sent against 80 soldiers in a wagon
box corral.
Despite this reverse Red Cloud re-
NAMED master of the situation. In
1868 he delivered his ultimatum TO a
peace commission. The forts must he
abandoned and all further ATTEMPTS
70 open the Montana road must cease,
More than that, he fixed the boun.
daries of the Sioux country to suit
himself. The commissioners agreed
every demand, for the Ogallala chief
even to meet them until the
garrlsons had actually been with
drawn. His victory was complete.
From the day he signed the treaty
ne Kept his promise to live at peace
WIN whites. "Ninety-one years old.
'hnd, almost deaf, he sits dreaming Of
ne past" writes one who visited him
men. mo wonder he is irritated by
ne idle information seeker. Who
would be called back from the dreams
u his youth? Sightless and infrm.
IS RELYING the days of his youth
When he sat on his horse as king, the
ride of the great Sioux nation.
10 his ears must come the roar of
ne hunt as the countless bison herd.
a tidal wave, rolls by. And again
great day Of his lite. when his
e~d-blanketed band swept down on
ne hapless Fetterman troop. Even
his heart must Seem to stand
till as he lives over again that iear-
I'll day OF the Wagon Box fight. when
e hurled the pick of the Sioux ma.
on against the rifemen."
On December 10, 1909, the old mans
ended and Red Cloud, the great.
war chief of the Sioux, died.

LIQUOR SALES
ON j. 5. SHIPS
ARE PERMITTED
Treasury Department Is
sues New Ruling on
American Liners
DRY AMENDMENT LOST
Proposal to Insert This Provision In
Ship Subsidy Bill is Voted Down
Ruling Effective July /.

Washington, June 17.-Sale Of Ii
ouor on Shipping Board vessels out
side of the three-mile limit is per-
MISSILE under new Treasury regula
tions issued yesterday, according to
p. A. Wise, general counsel for the
prohibition unit.
This Interpretation was taken as
settling, for the time being. the con-
troversv over liquor on Government
ships precipitated by Adolphus Busch
III. the st. Louis brewer, when he
wrote President Harding that the
Government was engaging IN the boot
logging business by permitting sale of
alcoholic beverages on Shipping Board
vessels.
Solution of the problem, Wayne
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon League, declared last night,
lies in Excluding all ships that sell
LIQUOR from American ports" Legisla-
ton to this end is being considered, he
said, asserting that, by putting both
American and foreign vessels on an
equal footing with respect to liquor,
the competitive feature of the ques-
ton would be removed
The movement to provide in the
pending Ship Subsidy bill that any
ship selling liquor should be deprived
Of its Government aid was defeated in
the House. The question came up on
the amendment of Representative
Bankhead, of Alabama, and the eX-
treme drys We're beaten without a
record vote.
The new regulations were not draft
ed with the intention Of settling the
question of liquor on Shipping Board
vessels, Mr.. Wise said, and, in fact,
were written before the question
arose. As drawn. however, he said,
they would apply equally to Ameri-
can and foreign ships in permitting IN
tOxicating sea stores within the three
mile limit under the customs regu-
lations, which provide that while in
American ports all liquors on board 4
ship must be sealed up.
Amending the former regulations,
the new rules were issued pursuant
to an opinion of Acting Attorney-Gen-
eral Nebeker, dated February 4, 1921;
affirmed by General Daugh-
ertv June 30, 1921, and the decision
of the United States Supreme Court
i'm Greogan VS.. Walker and the Anchor
Line VS.. Aldridge, rendered May 10,
1922"
The new regulations, which became
effective today, provided for the sclz-
ure Of beverage liquor when in tran
sit through the United States.
