barrage was on you could see a
hundred different colors of flares
going up along the line for about
five miles each way. 1t was a
pretty sight, but the Germans were
only trying to get our goats. 81
At 5:15 a. m. we were off. We
went over a hill, by this time the
German artillery was working on
US, alao airplanes, hundreds of
them. We then crossed a river,
French and American tanks were
creeping along ahead of US. We
came up to a French tank that was
disabled, one Frenchman with an
arm blown off was trying to take
his French buddie out of the tank.
So | and my buddie gave them a
helping hand, we tied a string
around the Frenchman's arm to
stop the blood, also one around
the other Frenchman's leg, we
tried to carry the Frenchman with
the mangled leg but be hpllored so
much we couldn't. So I said to
my buddie, Grab him by the
collar" in this manner we Garagged
him to the dressing station, which
was mile over the bills. Then
we again started for the lines to
join our buddies.
We climbed Mont Blanc without
much trouble; only a few mines,
wire entanglements, artillery, air
plane attacks, and a few hundred
machine guns playing on US. We
reached our objective point in
woods, here we stayed all night
waiting for our relief, which was
the Thirty-sixth Division. The
Germans we're to counter attack
the next morning, and as this di-
vision was a few hours late we
were compelled to hold the lines.
The next morning we advanced a
few hundred yards, which brought
our lines out of this big woods in.

While advancing through the
woods big German shell came

Congressman Larson
Talks Turkey to
Commissioner Burke.

At least one member of the
Minnesota Delegation in Congress
is not afraid to speak frankly to
Charles H. Burke, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, with reference
to Chippewa matters. The IONA
HAWK here reproduces letter
written by Hon. Oscar j. Larson
to Commissioner Charles H Burke
under date of January 20, 1928,
which speaks for itself and which
will be read with interest by the
readers of The ToMAHAwK:
January, 20, 1928.
Hon. Charles H. Burke,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Department of the Interior,
Washington, D. G.
My dear Mr.. Commissioner:
l have just learned that the
House Committee on Indian Affairs
directly after the hearing had on
H. r. 1858 last Saturday, Janu-
ary 9th, laid the same on toe table
which means, of course, that the
bill will not be favorably reported.
Had you manifested a different
attitude of mind toward the bill, |
feel reasonably confident the CON-
mittee would have taken favorable
action thereon. In other words
your testimony was the controlling
influence with the committee. Of
course, you may say 1T is up to
Congress-" but you cannot thus
shift the responsibility and you
may not Want to attempt it.
I assume from the tenor of the
testimony you gave you were large
ly is not entirely actuated by the
representations contained in the
report that you recently received
from a superintendent connected
with the Indian Bureau. Kindly
furnish me with a copy of said
report.
Of course, the humanitarian
aspect of the proposed relief legis-
lation is of paramount and con-
trolling importance but the matter
has a political aspect to which l
feel in duty bound to call your at
tention. 1t is quite generally con-
ceeed that if an election we're held
in Minnesota today the National
Administration would be repudiat-
ed by substantial vote. If the
present state of opinion should
undergo no material change before
the next campaign, Minnesota will
be lost to the Republican party. A
few thousand votes may do the
trick. My own political fortunes
are not involved, for a reason
which I need not state, but 1 am
interested in the success of the
Republican party and I am there
fore calling your attention to the
Importance of preventing political
suicide in Minnesota by refusing
to furnish relief to the Chippewa
Indians in their present deplorable
economic distress. Nosonly do the
Indians but also the Whites feel
keenly the apparent Indifference
of the Indian Bureau to the suffer
ing Indians. Neither the Whites
nor the Indians can appreciate the
motives that seem co impel the In
dian Bureau to oppose relief legis-
