VETERANS BUREAU STARTING
CAMPAIGN TO LOCATE ALL
INJURED RED MEN

---A- q - p
The care of the-Indian Ex-Service
men presents q peculiar problem to
the y. S. Veterans Bureau officials.
There were approximately 2,1I6.
young Indians who enlisted m the
army during the World War. Many
Of these incurred injuries in the SER
vice and are entitled to all the bene-
fits conferred by law upon the .ex-
service men including vocational
training, compensation, medical care
and treatment, disqualification and
government insurance.
Comparatively lew of them have.
taken advantage of the privileges to
which they are entitled. Those who
know the Indians characteristics can
understand this. Al his traditions
forbid him to complain of pain, and
especially of wounds and injuries re-
ceIved in battle. He goes off bv
himself and endures these in stoical
silence. Furthermore these Indian
ex-service men are scattered all over
the states of North Dakota. South
Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. ON
isolated reservations, which as a rule.
are not penetrated by railroads. and.
generally by only Inferior roads. As
a rule they cannot be cached by mail.
as they get it infrequently and pay
lake attention to it. They do-nots as
p class know there Is such an orran-
7zatoR as theaWeterans' Bureau IN

evep comforts Of living. It will also
cal for Infinite tact and patience to
talk with the disabled Indian soldiers,
often through an Interpreter, and
induce these tacfturn warriors to tell
about their disabilities.
But it is the duty of the govern
ment to care for these men, and as
District No. 10 has about one sixth
of all the Indians who served in the
Army, c. D. Hubbard, manager Of the
Tenth District Of TIE U. S. Veterans
Bureau, who is interested in their
welfare, has plans all made for an
Intensive drive in which the attempt
will be made to make contact with
every one of these men. Al SQUAD of
w'arkers, consisting of a contact man
who knows the conditions in the In
dian country, a doctor familiar with
tuberculosis which is prevalent among
them, an interpreter, and a stenog-
rapher. If possible every man among
them who has a war disability will
be contacted, and he complete data
or his case secured, so that a speedy
reviewing Of all evidence can be mdae
and his claim adjusted.
The intensive campaign to reach all
these Indian ex-service men started
in North Dakota, where the work will
be conducted according to the follow
ing itinerary:

CHAPTER Xxx
A Prisoner

When Hubert Stane left the burn
ing cabin Helen did not obey his
injunctions TO the letter. A full min
ute she was to wait in the shadow
Of the door before emerging, but she
disregarded the command altogether
in her anxiety to know what fate was
TO befall him. As the yell greeted his
emergence. she caught the sound Of
the rife shot, and not knowing that
it had been fired by Stane himself,
in an agony Of fear for him, stepped
recklessly to the door. She saw him
running toward the trees, saw him
grappled by the Indian. who barred
the way. and beheld the second figure
rise like a shadow by the side of the
struggling men. The raised knife
cleaned in the freight, and with a
sharp cry of warning that never
reached Stane. she started to run to-
ward him. The next moment some
thing thick and heavy enveloped her
head and shoulders. she was tripped
up and fell heavily in the snow, and
two seconds later was conscious Of two

pairs Of hands binding her with
thongs.
Then there came sound that
made her heart leap with hope-a
sound that was the unmistakable
crack of a rife. Again the rifle spoke,
three times in rapid succession, and
from the sounds she conjectured that
the fight was not yet over, and felt
a surge of gladness in her heart. Then
she was lifted from the ground, sud
denly hurried forward, and quite
roughly dropped on what she guessed
was a sledge. Again hands were busy
about her, and she knew that she was
being dashed to the chariot OF the
North. There was a clamor of excited
voices, again the crack of the rifle,
then she felt a quick jerk, and found
the sled was in motion.
She was quite warm, and except
for the thongs about sher, comfortable,
and presently her eyes closed, at first
against the rather oppressive dark
ness resulting from the covering
blanket, then remained closed with
out any conscious volition, and she
slept heavily and dreamlessly.
She was awakened by the sled com
ing to standstill; and then followed
the sounds of men pitching camp; the
crackle of a fire, the growing and
yelping of dogs quarreling over their
food. She did not know how long
she had slept; but after awakening, it
seemed very long time before any
OuA came near her Then she caught
the sound of steps crunching the fro
zen snow. The steps halted by the
sledge and hands busted themselves
with the fastening. A minute later
she felt that her limbs were free; and
as the blanket was jerked from her
head. she looked round

THRISTMAS is the protest OF the human race
- The one thing time nor force can suppress is
instinct.
In days past religion tried to stamp out earthly
gladness, play, fun the joy Of man and maid As well
might endeavor to dam the waters OF the Missis
sippi; -
reasonings and revelations along comes Instinct
and to use the words of Bennett, blandly remarks:

In the fourth century the Christian world pretty
dismal This world considered dreadful place,
the boys and girls were ured off heather sports
for the heather alone raced and danced and frocked
Then the Church established the Christmas festival,
which was one of her wisest strokes of policy.
In 342 A. D. the good Bishop Tiberius preached the
first Christmas sermon in Rome.
Into this opening poured the play instinct OF the
world.
The time of the winter sostce strangely enough had
been the ovial period of the year everywhere Then
the Swedes Of old used to light fires the hills in
honor of Mother Friga, goddess of Love. Then the
of democracy and equality during the twelve months
of tyranny and slavery Then the Greeks lit torches
upon Hecon in praise of Dionysus In Egypt at this
period the populace bore palms for the god Horus
Persia they celebrated the birth of Mithras, and the
Hindus in India sang their songs to Vishnu.
Many of these festivals had become very corrupt
Excess and license darkened the hour of national joy
The wses thing Christians did was to turn this
feast day over to the child.
The child Jesus stands for the childhood of the
world, perpetual, evergreen nexhaustible.
It is weary world to those who have lived wrong
or long, but those who remain healthy in their
tastes it's wonderful world full of undying youth,
running with sap, recurrent with primal JOY
Christmas means the supreme fact about life,
namely that it is joyful
In the opinion of many the greatest music
posed is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony AS . climax
for his orchestral composition the master chose
chorus to sing Schller's Hymn to JOY"
Christmas means that when this world and all its
purposes and deeds wound up, and the last

the complete story of humanity, they will not wall
hang their heads, but they will shout and exult.
