thorizes the filing of more than
one suit if it should be found de-
sirable aid expedient TO divide the
claims into separate groups. 1t is
estimated that there are about ten
major group claims, dealing with
the disposition of nearly 100000
acres of land and the proceeds
received therefrom. The attempt
to embody all the claims 10 one
suit would necessitate the filing of
bill of approximately a thousand
pages containing claims of diver
gent nature each involving intricate
questions of law and fact. 1t
would be impracticable to. present
such an admixture of claims to the
court in one bill so that the court
could reach a clear understanding
of each separate claim. The only
way the Chippewa claims can be
inteiligently presented to q court
and properly understood by a
court is by grouping the claims
and presenting each group by
separate bill.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

With the aid of the Liberals In par
lament, the Labor government of
Great Britain functloned through most
Of the year. 1t took office on January
% with Ramsay Macdonald as prime
minister. Its policies were fairly mod
crate, but several of its bills were
beaten, notably those for the aid Of
the poor and for the naturalization of
mines. 1t did not resign because no
party Their had n majority In parlia-
ment. However, the people rebelled
against the treaties with soviet Rus
sia which Macdonald negotiated. and
on October 8 the house of commons
refused him a vote OF confidence. Par
lament was at once prorosued and
the general election set for October
20. At the polls the Conservatives
won an overwhelming victory, getting
413 Of the 615 seats in the house. The
Liberal party seemed almost wiped
out and the Laborltes suffered heavy
losses. Stanley Baldwin was selected
to be prime minister again and on No
vember G his government took office.
To the great relief OF France, Austen

chancellor of the exchequer.
Bngland's most serious trouble In

ment. This increased through the
year. and so. unfortunately, did the
cost of living. In February there was

the cattle drives over the trails. In
1900 he came to Wyoming to live
and in 1903 he took up a homestead
2S miles north of Rawlins which be-
came known as the Bull Springs road
ranch. Very few persons who have
lived in this section of the country
but lave at some time or other stop
ped at the House ranch and partook
of the hospitality Mr.. and Mrs. House
always offered.
1t was only last spring hat he
sold his ranch, purchased a house
in Rawlins and Mr.. and Mrs. House
moved to this city. About ten months
ago Mr.. House suffered a partial
stroke of paralysis and was confined
to his bed for some time. Early in
September Mr.. and Mrs. House left
this city for Nebraska where they
spent about three months visiting
Mrs. Hirsh, an adopted daughter of
the couple who lived with them since
she was a very small girl. During
the time of their visit in Nebraska
Mr.. House enjoyed very good health
and he eemeL to have ali but fully
regained his strength.
The couple returned to Rawlins
about three weeks ago and only a
few days after they arrived in this
city Mr.. House suffered an acute at
tack of Indigestion which confined
him to his bed for a couple OF weeks.
He seemed to get much better and on
the morning OF his death he asked to
sit up in a chair. Upon granting this
request, he sat in the chair for a
short while and was smoking a cigar
cite when he suffered the stroke
which caused his death. He died on
his 64th birthday at 11;45 a. m.

many other persons who have lived
In this section. About eight years
ago when the sheepmen experienced
the extreme winter. thousands OF
head OF sheep drifted down the val
ley in which the House ranch was
located md the men used the Bull
Springs ranch as their headquarters.
Practically all persons who knew

everyone and found him TO be a true

loan to Germany was offered to the
world. It was promptly heavily over
subscribed In most countries. German
industry responded instantly and the
smooth and efficient operation Of the
Dawes plan seemed assured.
Several attempts were made during
the year to forward the further reduc-
ton of ornaments by agreement. but
nothing definite was accomplished I'M
til September, when Prime Minister
Macdonald Of Great Britain submit
ted to the League of Nations his plan
for an international agreement for Sc
curity. arbitration and disarmament.
The discussion was heated, and Japan
refused to adhere because the plan
prohibited wars based on internal poll
cies of nations. Her delegates did not
conceal the fact that they were re-
ferrlng especially to the japanese e1-
clusion clause of the American immi-
grafton law, which already had caused
protests from Tokyo and boycotts and
threats against Americans In Japan.
They insisted the agreement must pro
vide that any nation might ask the
league to arbitrnte internal affairs OF
any other nation, and the league as
sembly yielded to them and adopted
the protocol with such amendment.

member nations of course vas reQui-
site, and as time went on 1t became
evident this could not be obtained.
The British parliament. 1t was be
iieved, was almost certain not to agree
since Canada. Australia and New Tea
land were bitterly opposed.
In October Great Britain and Tur-
key were at swords points over the
old Mosul oil fields dispute. but they
submitted the matter to the League of
