Progress of the Indian.
Dawson News !

Civilization has brought strange change in the
life of the North American Indian Overwhelmed by
the tide of whites which has swept his country, the
Indian is rapidly losing his Identification Institutions
of the white fast converting the red from
the simple child of the forest to the conventional
human being of the pale face individual.
The picturesque life of the native is nearing its
close Schools, missionaries and government agencies
and the common contact with the stronger and more
populous having their inevitable influence
The Indians are being wrested from their former
nomadc life and absorbed unto the life typical of the
white. In remote localities the Indians retain
their primitive habits and customs, but of the
tribes fast being assmilated.
The natives in but few localities depend upon
the results of the chase for their livelihood They
have learned rely largely upon the white mans
food and upon his other creature comforts and
stiles to supply their wants. This is noticeable right
here in Yukon. The younger generation of natives
are being taught to read and write and many
orsaking the pursuits of the wids and every year
putting in much of their time in useful service
whereby they their livelihood and some means
for obtaining modest Injuries

identical with that of the whites, and their tribes as

that the state do its utmost help them meet the
new conditions; to aid them to take up pursuits
to which they best adapted; to make them self
supporting and self-relian They need to be schooed
in sanitation and the protection of health; how to
become provident and other essentials

they have the need of social service, of wholesome
diversion and other requisites to good, heathfu

ing, and lessons in cleanliness not all They de-

"A German General on Defeat.
New York Post.)

Since the armistice the highest German mill
tary authorities have been stressing the point that
the German Army not defeated by the enemy on
the field of battle, but by dagger thrusts from the
rear. Now comes Baron Schoenaich Major
General of Infantry, with the statement that the
dagger trust is a legend pure and simple. Gen Won
Schoenach, who certainly be accused of rad
zeal Left sympathies, contends in series of three
articles in the Berliner Tageblatt that Socialist ag-
tat1on in the ranks not the bu the result
OF defeat, that this defeat would have come had
there never been single word of agitation" and
that it due to miserable plumbers on the part of
the German Government and the of inexpca-
bic tactics by the High Command He asserts that
the German Army was heroic any that ey err
took the field, but that victory the close of
war, and not at any intervening period This vic
tory, he utterly impossible after September
16, 1918, and instead of denouncing the Majority
Socialists for their part in bringing the arms-
t1ce they should be credited with unusual political
foresight OF November H. 1918, he writes:
There were then thirty fresh French and
American divisions read for offensive on

Command had not single fresh division at

Foch yielded to Pershings demand for an

The diagnosis is to be sure, rather late but it
comes from excellent authority, and it may have
its value for the future.

"A lot CT women are perfectly will

The reason why some women never

The announcement by Premier LLOYD
George that the British protectorate over
Egypt had been Withdrawn and that Egypt
was free to work out such national lnStltu-
lions as might be suited to the aspirations OF
her people" was one of the most important
statements made by that statesman 1t
is an indication that Britain no longer wishes
to continue the cid policy of What we nave
we'll hold" There is nothing to be gained
by controlling many countries.
Just what will be the effect of the re-
lnguishment is difficult to forecast. The
withdrawal from ireland, followed by the
withdrawal from Egypt, is likely to prove
precedent, and there is possibility that
this move may be followed later by with
drawal from India Many people wonder why
it is desirable to cling to the Indian Empire
when it is the cause of much worry to
the country The main difficulty is to let
go There is no doubt that the control OF
these countries by the British has been bene-
ficent but it must also be remembered that
the racial differences between these people
and ourselves make assimilation impossible
The people of India can not become any
thing more than dependent people in the
Empire whereas as Independent nation
they could work out their own deStnieS. The
difficulty lies in the lack of unity in that
country There are hundreds of petty king
doms Independent except for allegiance to
the British These will find it difficult to
agree and there is danger of reversion to
the old condition of constant warfare which
obtained before the British took control. If
the people of that country able to gov
ern themselves there would be excuse for
the continuation of the British control. The
British withdrawal from Egypt may have far
reaching effects on the situation there.
