CENSUS OF Ex-SERvICE MEN
Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used
In Obtaining Views on compen-
sation Drive.

A nationwide census of ex-service
men will be taken by the American
Legion. Five million questionnaires
have been printed for use in the Lee
gion's Service and compensation"
drive, which will aim toward the com
pilation of vital statistics and which
should afford definite indication of
the exact cost Of providing compensa-
tion to all veterans.
The various state organizations OF
the Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and at their own date.
Every man interviewed by the census
taker will be informed of the five OPP
lions of the pending compensation bill
and be asked to signify his attitude
toward the measure and his choice OF
the five features. He will also record
whether he was ever wounded, gassed.
or suffered an injury in service. AS
sistance will be provided In filing COM
pensation claims, end all ex-soldiers
will be urged to carry government III
surancc.
The Legion's plan for rotating loan
fund will be explained. and every man
interviewed will be asked whether he
would be willing to turn over his conf
pensation toward such fund for the
relief of needy service men.

are under way to have Legion posts
throughout the state erect their own
cottages where members may spend
their vacations.
Water and electric lights have been
donated toward the project by q citi-

which is abundant at the foot Of the

the Delawares, forced them to accept
the title of women and began sell
ing their lands on the Delaware and
Susquehanna rivers to the colony OF
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenni-Le-
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
lish conferred In the Ohio valley In
1754 the Delawares felt that they
were about to be driven from their
last refuge. They rose In rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians ana
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called at Easton, Pa,
In July, 1866. Tedyuskung issued a
Declaration of Independence. THE

For SO years the Delaware chlef
had borne the commonplace name OF
Honest john" but now he was hailed
as king Tedyuskung," and was sent
TO give the big peace hailoo" to his
tribe and invite them to larger con-
ference to be held later. He started
on this important errand, arrived al
Fort Allen and then he went on
drunken spree lasting for days.
The Iroquois derided his "declara

They failed, and from that time the
power of the Iroquois over the Della
wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability In later councils Although IL
is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Dela
wares wrongs adjusted and his infiu"
ence brought about treaty OF peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the ONO
valley to the English His death was
scarcely heroic. In the spring OF 1908
his house was set on fire during one
of his drunken debauches-prohably
by some of his Iroquois enemies--and
