An Old Scout on the Indian.
Frontiersmen Who Shot t-Them Were
Often Plain Outlaws.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II was
most gratifying to read Mr.. Richard
Colts tribute to the Indian In THE New
York HERALD of June IA. but why
should he attempt a defense of that
class of noble" brave" kind hearted"
men "who shot down and killed Indians
simply because they were Indians? i?
Surely Mr.. Colts frontier experiences
must have taught him that the "kind
hearted, Indian killers" were outlaws
Keeping far enough in advance of civil
ization to escape the laws clutches for
crimes committed far behind the new
scenes of their villainy.
The kind hearted Indian killers"
were detestable parasites. preying wolf
like on the honest pioneer settlers and.
Notwithstanding their assumed bravery.
they had a cringing dread of the cour-
ageous law officer. That they killed
each other was their only redeeming
trait.
Can it be said that Bridger. Fremont.
Pike, Father de Smet or Lewis and
Clark. who explored practically un-
known territory from the Mississippi to
Puget Sound under the guidance OF the
Shoshone squaw Sa-Ka-Ka-We (Bird
Woman). and the hundreds of other
clean, noble, self-sacrificing men who
passed peaceful lives with Indians.
"kindheartedly' killed their fellow men
simply because pure red blood flowed
in their veins?
Had Mr.. Colt lived in isolation at any
army post he would have met with the
real frontiersmen-refined educated gen.
tlemen despite their self-banishment to
the unexplored wilds. perhaps to flee
from the duplicity of fellow-white men.
Such was Grizzly Bear Tompkins. a
kentuckian who came to Fort Rice,
Dakota, In 1872, complaining that the
white men were swarming over the
west divide of the Teton and Ab-Sa-Ro-
Ka ranges. and are crowding me out
after over half a century of peace"
Poor Grizzly also found that the white
men were squeezing him on the east
of the range. and. turning to his dog
and pony, he said. Come, boys. we will
have to move north to find room to
live"

The Herrin Massacre.
Illinois Happenings Must Interest
the Much Criticized Turk.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
cold blooded massacre of innocent men
at Herrin may well cause the American
people to pause and reflect.
The primary object of all law In a
civilized country is 10 protect first the
life and then the property Of the cit.-
zen In this case it did neither. The
men who were working In the mines
were butchered for the simple reason
that they were working. And they were
by the very men who re-
fused to do this work themselves.
This latest bloody chapter, as far as
It's methods are concerned, would prove
highly interesting to the Turks. and
might also mildly interest the Arrneni-
ans. whose lives we hold so sacred.

FRENCH AGAIN REFUSE 10
YIELD ON RIG GTfECTF0N

Genoa, May 4.-The draft of the al.
led proposals to Russia for the re.
construction Of that country vas
sent to the Russian delegation H.
night, with an amendment. Offered
by the French q the clause relating
to restitution OF, or compensation for
private property raticnalized by Rus
sGa with French reservation. declar-
ing that the French delegation with
hold its final approval until further
instructions are received from Paris
M. Barrere astounded the sub
commission by announcing that the
French delegation could not approve
the memorandum without further dis
cussion at Paris. Premier Lloyd
George expressed great amazement at
this, saying that NJ Barthou had
told him this morning that the mat
ter had been settled. M. Barrere ex-
planned that his action was based on
messages received from Paris after
M. Barthou left to confer with Pre-
mier Poincare and the French cabi-
net.
FRENCH PLAN.
Finally at Mr.. Lloyd's request, M
Barrere consented to propose to the
nationalized property clause and al
tow the amended draft to be sent to
the Russian delegation with the
French reservation setting forth that
the French were unable to give form
al approval until further word had
been received from Paris, after M
Barthou had seen Premier Poincare.
This leaves the entire draft in what
is described as a very unsatisfactory
condition and affords abundant oppor=
tunity for the Russians to offer OBJ
jections. =.
The French amendment makes the
measure more drastic and provides
that Russia shall give distinct as
surances regarding the nature of the
tenure which foreigners are to ). en-
joy when their property is returned
to them. Nationalized property has
been the basis of practically all the
differences of opinion in the sub-com-
mission.
Belgium has stubbornly held out
for more definite restoration, and
France has taken virtually the same
position throughout the negotiations.
England, on the other hand, has led
the other powers in supporting a
policy more nearly in line with the
Bolshevik offer to restore merely the
use of nationalized property, instead
of free hold
